Cholinesterase Inhibitors in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: Data indicate that aminoacridines, as a class of compounds, have a statistically significant effect to diminish, slightly, some of the cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, and encourage the use of drugs that will reverse multiple neurotransmitter deficits.

Inhibition of thioredoxin reductase by auranofin induces apoptosis in cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cells.

TL;DR: The effects of auranofin, a gold(I) compound clinically used as an antirheumatic agent, on cisplatin-sensitive (2008) and-resistant (C13*) cancer cells were studied and its action is particularly marked in C13* cells, indicating that no cross-resistance occurs.

Metal dyshomeostasis and oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: This review discusses oxidative/nitrosative stress in Alzheimer's disease with a focus on the role that metals play in this process, and discusses metal binding compounds that are designed to cross the blood brain barrier and restore metal homeostasis as potential Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics.
