6,7 According to experience, innovation of ways to use existing drugs is an important direction of drug research and development (R&D), as it can greatly reduce costs and shorten the time of R&D
The Anti-Angiogenic and Anti-Tumor Activity of Synthetic Phenylpropenone Derivatives Is Mediated Through the Inhibition of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
For instance, the development of autoimmune diseases is stimulated by iodine (excess or deficiency), smoking, stress, and chemical contaminants (like polyaromatic hydrocarbons), medicine (like amiodarone and interferon-alpha (IFN), and bacterial and viral infections (like hepatitis C virus and Yersinia enterocolitica)
However, several issues need to be addressed, including determining optimal intake, identifying high-dose toxicity, developing evaluation methods, discovering functional peptide segments, and understanding interactions with other ingredients
While peptides may not be as extensively studied as minoxidil or finasteride, the existing evidence is promising
Gasdermins can be cleaved and activated by a diverse array of other proteases in addition to caspase-1, including hematopoietic cell proteases (for example, granzymes, neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G) 17 and bacterial virulence factors (for example, SpeB) 18
