Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular fingerprint similarity search in virtual screening.
Adrià Cereto-Massagué,María José Ojeda,Cristina Valls,Miquel Mulero,Santiago Garcia-Vallvé,Gerard Pujadas +5 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on commonly used fingerprint algorithms, their usage in virtual screening, and the software packages and online tools that provide these algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grape-seed procyanidins prevent low-grade inflammation by modulating cytokine expression in rats fed a high-fat diet.
Ximena Terra,Gemma Montagut,Mario Bustos,Niurka Llópiz,Anna Ardévol,Cinta Bladé,Juan Fernández-Larrea,Gerard Pujadas,Josepa Salvadó,Lluís Arola,Mayte Blay +10 more
TL;DR: A beneficial effect of PE on low-grade inflammatory diseases, which may be associated with the inhibition of the proinflammatory molecules CRP, IL-6 and TNF-alpha and the enhanced production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine adiponectin is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Activity by Flavonoids: Structure-Activity Relationship Studies
Ligia Guerrero,Julián Castillo,Mar Quiñones,Santiago Garcia-Vallvé,Lluís Arola,Gerard Pujadas,Begoña Muguerza +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that flavonoids are an excellent source of functional antihypertensive products and the structure-activity relationship studies show that the combination of sub-structures on the flavonoid skeleton that increase ACEI activity is made up of the catechol group in the B-ring and the cetone group in C4 at the C-ring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grape-seed Procyanidins Act as Antiinflammatory Agents in Endotoxin-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophages by Inhibiting NFkB Signaling Pathway
Ximena Terra,Josep Valls,X. Vitrac,Jean-Michel Mérrillon,Lluís Arola,Anna Ardévol,Cinta Bladé,Juan Fernández-Larrea,Gerard Pujadas,Josepa Salvadó,Mayte Blay +10 more
TL;DR: PE modulates inflammatory response in activated macrophages by the inhibition of NO and PGE2 production, suppression of iNOS expression, and NFkB translocation, demonstrating an immunomodulatory role of grape seed procyanidins and thus a potential health-benefit in inflammatory conditions that exert an overproduction of NO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulatory effect of grape-seed procyanidins on local and systemic inflammation in diet-induced obesity rats
Ximena Terra,Victor Pallarès,Anna Ardévol,Cinta Bladé,Juan Fernández-Larrea,Gerard Pujadas,Josepa Salvadó,Lluís Arola,Mayte Blay +8 more
TL;DR: Oral ingested PE helps preventing imbalanced obesity cytokine pattern, but its corrective effects need to be further investigated.
