Cell-based screen identifies porphyrins as FGFR3 activity inhibitors with therapeutic potential for achondroplasia and cancer.

Summary

Researchers developed an assay system to monitor FGFR3 activation and discovered that two porphyrins and an extract from Amaranthus viridis can reduce overactive FGFR3 signaling in multiple myeloma cells and chondrocytes, as well as improve bone growth in mice. These findings offer a new strategy for identifying potential treatments for FGFR3-related diseases.

Cardioprotective action of Amaranthus viridis methanolic extract and its isolated compound Kaempferol through mitigating lipotoxicity, oxidative stress and inflammation in the heart.

Summary

L. extract and kaempferol protected rat hearts against ISO-induced heart damage. They reduced cholesterol and triglycerides and increased HDL levels. They also improved heart antioxidant activity and reduced inflammation, suggesting they could prevent cardiovascular disorders.

Attenuation of Strychnine-Induced Epilepsy Employing Amaranthus viridis L. Leaves Extract in Experimental Rats.

Summary

The study tested the effectiveness of L. extract (EAV) in treating epilepsy caused by strychnine, compared to the commonly used medication phenytoin (PHY). Results showed that EAV had a significantly higher success rate in reducing seizures and improving motor coordination, with fewer side effects. These findings suggest the potential for using EAV as a safer and more effective alternative treatment for epilepsy.
