Kinetoplast DNA: A Promising Drug Target for Treatment of Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne zoonotic disease caused by various species of the genus Leishmania, (trypanosomatidae family) that is transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. The disease can present in a range of clinical forms, including dermal lesions, metastasis mucocutaneous forms, and fatal visceral forms. In this non-systematic review, we aimed at introducing the role of kinetoplast DNA (kD...
متن کاملPolymorphisms of Antioxidant’ Genes as a Target for Diabetes Management
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most important health problems with increasing prevalence worldwide. Oxidative stress that is a result of imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and antioxidant defense mechanisms has been demonstrated as a main pathology in DM. Hyperglycemia-induced ROS productions can induce oxidative stress through four major molecular mechanisms inclu...

متن کاملDNA gyrase as a drug target.
DNA gyrase is a remarkable enzyme, catalysing the seemingly complex reaction of DNA supercoiling. As gyrase is essential in prokaryotes, it is a good target for antibacterial agents. These agents have diverse chemical structures and interact with gyrase in a variety of ways.
متن کاملDNA hypermethylation as a chemotherapy target.
Epigenetics refers to partially reversible, somatically inheritable, but DNA sequence-independent traits that modulate gene expression, chromatin structure, and cell functions such as cell cycle and apoptosis. DNA methylation is an example of a crucial epigenetic event; aberrant DNA methylation patterns are frequently found in human malignancies. DNA hypermethylation and the associated expressi...
