Structure-based virtual screening to identify potential lipase inhibitors to reduce lipid storage in Wolman disorder.

TL;DR: In this article , the lead compounds were docked with native and G87V mutant LIPA, and the molecular dynamics simulations result indicated that dl-alpha-Tocopherol-13C3, a molecule obtained from the PubChem database, is identified as a potential and stable lead molecule that could be effective against the G87v mutant form of LIPAs.

Drug-induced toxicity on mitochondria and lipid metabolism: Mechanistic diversity and deleterious consequences for the liver

TL;DR: In obese and diabetic patients, some drugs may induce acute liver injury more frequently while others may worsen the pre-existent steatosis (or steatohepatitis), which is characterized not only by lipid accumulation but also by necroinflammation and fibrosis.
