Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have unacceptable morbidity and mortality due to their gastrointestinal toxicity. Attempts so far to improve the safety profile of NSAIDs have met with limited clinical acceptance. Nitric oxide (NO) functions as an endogenous mediator of gastric mucosal health and defense. Recent medicinal chemistry approaches attempt to exploit the tissue-protective function of NO against NSAID-induced gastric injury. Both nitroxybutyl-ester and nitrosothiol NSAID derivatives have been synthesized. Profiling of these NO-donating NSAIDs in both the laboratory and the clinic suggests that they might offer a unique solution to the problem of NSAID-induced gastropathy without sacrificing the well-accepted pharmacological activity of these agents in the management of pain and inflammation.

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
