The complex epidemiology and pathophysiology of hypertension development have been previously published in detail [5].

Vorsitzende: Univ.‐Prof. Dr. I. Antes Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Univ.‐Prof. Dr. H.‐W. Mewes 2. Univ.‐Prof. Dr. R. Zimmer (Ludwig‐Maximilians‐Universität München) Die Dissertation wurde am 30. Juli bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan für Ernährung, Landnutzung und Umwelt am 25. November 2009 angenommen. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my promoter Dr. Volker Stümpflen. Without his continuing, stimulating encouragement and his excellent background in Enterprise technologies still being predominantly used in the IT-industry rather than in academic research, I would not have been able to finish my doctorate in the presented form. Facing the tremendous amount of data that was generated by gathering the positional information of millions of biomedical terms, I was close to cutting the project down to a notably smaller version compared to the text mining system presented in this thesis. Volkers knowledge on database servers and performance tuning significantly contributed to the development of a database schema finally being able to cope with the immense amount of data. I would also like to cordially thank Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Mewes, head of the Institute for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (IBIS), for giving me the opportunity to do my doctorate at his institute and for his friendly support and encouragement all along my time at IBIS.

  • Taxifolin: a Wonder Molecule in Making Multiple Drug Targets
    Short Communication Annals of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics Published: 22 Aug, 2017 Taxifolin: A Wonder Molecule in Making Multiple Drug Targets Utkarsh Raj, Imlimaong Aier and Pritish Kumar Varadwaj* Department of Bioinformatics and Applied Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, India Keywords Taxifolin; Anti-cancerous; Anti-ebola; Anti-oxidant; Anti-inflammatory Short Communication Taxifolin (often referred to as dihydroquercetin) is a flavanonol which is a part of the phytonutrient family (a set of chemical materials that occur evidently in flora and have more than one fitness benefits however aren't taken into consideration vital to human fitness). Taxifolin has been observed in a variety of cone bearing gymnosperms, like, Pinus roxburghii [1], Cedrus deodara [1], Larix sibirica (the Russian or Siberian larch) and inside the Chinese yew, Taxus chinensis var. mairei [2]. Its presence has also been reported in silymarin extract from the milk thistle seeds and cherry wood aged vinegar [3]. The 2D structure of Taxifolin has been depicted in Figure1. Over the past 50 years, almost six hundred studies (mostly conducted in Russia) have investigated the efficacy and protection of taxifolin. The important roles of the compound Taxifolin has been elucidated in Figure 2. The main highlights of this compound are its antioxidant efficiency and vascular-defensive movement. Taxifolin has also been shown to provide benefits to cardiovascular health, the pores and skin, cognitive feature, contamination, allergic reactions and immunodeficiency, in addition to the fitness of diabetics. Amongst others, research has examined that taxifolin is a brilliant antioxidant, far more effective than dietary carotenoids and it lowers blood viscosity and improves capillary microcirculation.

In this study, we examined the in vitro sulfation of the main constituents of silymarin, an herbal remedy produced from the fruits of the milk thistle. The study focused on major flavonolignan constituents, including silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, isosilybin B, silychristin, and silydianin, as well as the flavonoid taxifolin. Using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS), individual flavonolignans and taxifolin were found to be sulfated by human liver and human intestinal cytosols. Moreover, experiments with recombinant enzymes revealed that human sulfotransferases (SULTs) 1A1*1, 1A1*2, 1A2, 1A3, 1B1, 1C4, and 1E1 catalyzed the sulfation of all of the tested compounds, with the exception of silydianin, which was not sulfated by SULT1B1 and SULT1C4.
