Chronic Cinacalcet improves skin flap survival in rats: the suggested role of the nitric oxide pathway. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 397:5005-5013.

Abstract
Cinacalcet is a calcimimetic medicine that has been used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid cancer. Various studies have proposed the positive role of calcium and its receptor in skin wound healing. Furthermore, Cinacalcet interacts with other skin repair-related mechanisms, including inflammation and nitric oxide pathways. The present study evaluated the effect of Cinacalcet on the random-pattern skin flap survival. Eighty-four Wistar male rats were used. Multiple doses of Cinacalcet (30, 3, 1, 0.3, and 0.05 mg/kg) were used in 3 different routes of administration before the surgery. Histopathological evaluations, quantitative assessment of IL-6, TNF-α, and nitric oxide (NO), and the expression of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and E-cadherin were evaluated in the skin tissue. To assess the role of NO, a NO synthase inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), was used, and histopathological effects were investigated. Cinacalcet pretreatment at the IP chronic 1 mg/kg dose significantly increased the skin flap survival rate and enhanced the NO tissue level compared to the control. However, the administration of L-NAME abolished its protective effects. IP Chronic 1 mg/kg of Cinacalcet could also decline the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α and also increase the expression of CaSR and E-cadherin in the flap tissue compared with the control group. Chronic Cinacalcet at 1 mg/kg could improve skin flap survival, probably mediated by the CaSR, NO, and inflammation-related pathways.

Abstract
The increasing resistance displayed by plant phytopathogenic bacteria to conventional pesticides has heightened the urgency for the exploration of novel antibacterial agents possessing distinct modes of action (MOAs). In this study, a series of novel phenylalanine derivatives with the unique structure of acylhydrazone dithioether have been designed and synthesized. Bioassay results demonstrated that most target compounds exhibited excellent in vitro antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri (Xac). Among them, the EC50 values of L3, L4, L6, L21, and L22 against Xoo were 7.4, 9.3, 6.7, 8.9, and 5.1 μg/mL, respectively, superior to that of bismerthiazol (BT) and thiodiazole copper (TC) (41.5 and >100 μg/mL); the EC50 values of L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L20, L21, and L22 against Xac were 5.6, 2.5, 6.2, 4.1, 4.2, 6.4, 6.3, 3.6, and 5.2 μg/mL, respectively, superior to that of BT and TC (43.3 and >100 μg/mL). An unmodified drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) technology was used to investigate the antibacterial MOAs of active compound L22, and the 50S ribosomal protein L2 (RL2) as an unprecedented target protein in Xoo cells was first discovered. The target protein RL2 was then expressed and purified. Furthermore, the in vitro interactions by microscale thermophoresis (Kd = 0.050 μM) and fluorescence titration (Ka = 1.4 × 105 M-1) experiments also demonstrated a strong binding force between compound L22 and RL2. Overall, these results not only facilitate the development of novel antibacterial agents but also establish a reliable method for exploring the targets of bactericides.
