Abstract
BACKGROUND Diosmetin is an O-methylated flavone and the aglycone part of the flavonoid glycosides diosmin that occurs naturally in citrus fruits. Pharmacologically, diosmetin is reported to exhibit anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, oestrogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. OBJECTIVE This comprehensive review was aimed to critically explore diverse pharmacological activities exhibited by diosmetin. Along with that, this review can also identify potential research areas with an elucidation of the multifactorial underlying signaling mechanism of action of diosmetin in different diseases. METHODS A comprehensive collection of evidence and insights was obtained from scientific journals and books from physical libraries and electronic platforms like Google Scholar and PubMed. The time frame selected was from year 1992 to July 2023. RESULTS The review delves into diosmetin's impact on cellular signaling pathways and its potential in various diseases. Due to its ability to modulate signaling pathways and reduce oxidative stress, it can be suggested as a potential versatile therapeutic agent for mitigating oxidative stressassociated pathogenesis. CONCLUSION The amalgamation of the review underscores diosmetin's promising role as a multifaceted therapeutic agent, highlighting its potential for drug development and clinical applications.

Abstract
Objectives Prompt Mental Health Care (PMHC) is the Norwegian version of the England’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT). Both programs have been associated with substantial symptom reductions from pre- to post-treatment. The present study extends these findings by investigating symptom levels at 12 months post-treatment, as well as treatment outcome in relation to low- vs. high-intensity treatment forms. Design and Outcome Measures A prospective cohort design was used. All participants (n = 1530) were asked to complete the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 questionnaire (GAD-7) at baseline, before each session during treatment, at final treatment, and at 12 months post-treatment. Cohen’s d was used as effect size measure. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to examine the impact of the high missing data rates at post-treatment (≈44%) and 12 months post-treatment (≈58%). Results A large symptom reduction was seen from baseline to 12 months post-treatment for both PHQ (d = −0.98) and GAD (d = −0.94). Improvements observed at post-treatment were largely maintained at 12 months post-treatment (PHQ (Δd = 0.10) and GAD (Δd = 0.09). Recovery rates decreased only slightly from 49.5% at post-treatment to 45.0% at follow-up. Both low- and high-intensity treatment forms were associated with substantial and lasting symptoms reductions (−1.26 ≤ d ≤ −0.73). Sensitivity analyses did not substantially alter the main results. Conclusion The findings suggest long-lasting effects of the PMHC program and encourage the use of low-intensity treatment forms in PMHC like settings.

Abstract
The human neuraminidases (NEU) consist of a family of four isoforms (NEU1-NEU4). Members of this enzyme family are proposed to have important roles in health and disease through regulation of the composition of cellular sialosides. The NEU3 isoform is a membrane-associated enzyme that cleaves glycolipid substrates. However, few reports have examined the substrate specificity of the enzyme for non-natural substrates. We report here a series of 11 synthetic trisaccharides that feature modifications of the aglycone or the Neu5Ac residue of an octyl β-sialyllactoside. The time course of substrate cleavage by NEU3 was monitored using an electrospray ionization mass spectrometry assay to obtain relative rates (k(rel)). We observed that NEU3 substrate activity was directly dependent upon the hydrophobicity of the aglycone but had no apparent requirement for features of the ceramide headgroup. We also observed that trisaccharides with incorporated azide groups in the Neu5Ac residue at either C9 or the N5-Ac position were substrates, and in the case of the N5-azidoacetyl derivative, the activity was superior to that of GM3. However, the incorporation of larger aryl groups was tolerated only at C9, but not at N5-Ac. We propose a two-site model for enzyme recognition, requiring interaction at both the Neu5Ac residue and the hydrophobic aglycone.

Abstract
Ca2+ increases the initial rate of activity of sialidase from influenza virus (A/Tokyo/3/67). Increasing ionic strength also activates influenza virus sialidase. When ionic strength is controlled, smaller but still significant Ca2+ effects are observed, with Vmax/Km increased from 0.8.10(5) to 1.4.10(5) M-1 s-1 and Vmax increased from 6.3 to 9.5 s-1 by saturating Ca2+. The Ki of the competitive inhibitor 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid was decreased from 2.7.10(-6) to 1.15.10(-6) M after the addition of saturating Ca2+. The data show that Ca2+ exerts a specific effect on Vmax/Km, leading to an increased rate of interaction of substrate with the enzyme. The Kd-app for the Ca2(+)-sialidase complex is 2 mM. Except for Mg2+ which behaves similarly to Ca2+, other mono- and divalent cations have little specific effect on sialidase kinetics. Sequence analysis of a range of subtypes of sialidases from influenza virus supports the proposal that Ca2+ binds at the subunit interface transmitting a conformational change to the enzyme active site. Ca2+ activation may have a physiological role in switching on sialidase activity during the release of newly synthesised virions from the host cell surface.

Abstract
Gangliosides extracted from human placenta were composed of four major components (G1-G4), which were purified by silica beads column chromatography. The structures of these gangliosides were analyzed by exoglycosidase treatments, 400 MHz proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and were concluded to be as follows: (Formula: see text). Gangliosides containing more than 10 sugar residues were observed in addition to the above four major components. But ganglio-series gangliosides were undetectable in the placenta.

Abstract
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) subspecies of different size and lipid mass were isolated by density gradient ultracentrifugation from the serum of male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) fed both a low fat, low cholesterol commercial primate ration, and cholesterol-supplemented high-fat diets, as well as from the serum of human donors. The mitogenic effect of these lipoproteins was examined using primary cultures of rhesus aortic smooth muscle cells. It was observed that the smaller LDL (molecular weight 2.7 X 10(6) from normolipidemic monkeys and a small LDL (molecular weight 2.6 X 10(6) occurring in some normal human subjects exhibited no mitogenic action. In turn, the larger LDL subspecies (molecular weight greater than 3.0 X 10(6), and buoyant density less than 1.030 g/ml), whether from normolipidemic or hyperlipidemic monkeys, or from some normal human subjects, had a marked proliferative action. The results indicate that both hyperlipidemic and normal sera (both human and rhesus) contain mitogenic LDL species although in different amounts. LDL-III, the rhesus equivalent of human Lp(a) was not mitogenic despite its similarity on size and lipid composition to the stimulating particles. However, on the removal of most of its large sialic acid moiety, a clear mitogenic action was observed. The mechanisms responsible for the proliferative effect are unclear and may involve LDL mass, lipid composition, and surface charge although other speculations cannot at present be ruled out. Furthermore, since the small LDL subspecies of either rhesus or human origin were nonmitogenic and similar in mass to the LDL found in calf serum, the mitogenic response of the smooth muscle cells to large LDLs may depend on their early conditioning with the LDL of calf serum.

Abstract
Kinetic and equilibrium dialysis substrate binding studies have been done to investigate the properties of mitochondrial GTP-AMP phosphotransferase. The results show that the enzyme has a specific requirement for divalent metal ions, namely Mg2+, Mn2+ or Ca2+ (Ca2+ is active only in the forward direction, the direction of formation of ADP). The reaction rate depends upon the ratio [Mg2+]:[substrate] rather than on the metal ion concentration alone. The enzymatic activity is influenced by NaCl (or KCl) and optimum pH occurs at 11.5 and 9.5 for guanosine and inosine nucleotides respectively. Examination of binding of substrates to the enzyme showed that there is one binding site (GTP site) for MgGTP, GTP, MgGDP or GDP per molecule of enzyme, with dissociation constants of 4.5, 4.4, 3.0, 2.2 micron respectively and one binding site (AMP site) for AMP, ADP or ATP per molecule of enzyme with dissociation constants of 20.9, 33.4 and 33.4 microns respectively. Since, within the limitations of equilibrium dialysis used in the present studies, AMP binding to one site of the enzyme could be detected only when GDP or GTP is present, the mechanism of the forward reaction may be assumed to be nearly ordered. For the reverse reaction there is no requirement of order of binding of the two nucleotides and so the mechanism of reaction may be assumed to be random.

Abstract
Neuraminidase (EC 3.2.1.18) from an Arthrobacter species was purified homogeneity by conventional procedures (yield approx. 1 mg/1) and was judged to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Gel electrofocusing of neuraminidase revealed 1 major band (85-90%), pI 5.35 +/- 0.05, and 6 minor bands, whose pI ranged from 5.25 to 5.70, and each of which had catalytic activity. Arthrobacter neuraminidase is a monomeric glycoprotein of molecular weight 88 000, has an apparent Km of 7.8-10(-4) M for N-acetylneuraminlactose, is insensitive to inhibition by N-acetylneuraminic acid, and is about 2% carbohydrate by weight. The amino acid composition as well as the galactosamine and glucosamine content was determined. The enzyme can hydrolyze (alpha, 2-3), (alpha, 2-6), (alpha, 2-8) linkages. The active size of the enzyme appears to be inaccessible since no inhibition was observed by reagents known to modify sulfhydryl, lysyl, carboxyl, histidinyl, and argininyl residues. In contrast, N-bromosuccinimide at a 60-fold molar ratio to enzyme, gave complete inhibition. These results suggest that a tryptophan residue is essential for catalysis.

Abstract
N-(4-Nitrophenyl)oxamic acid[1] (1) was coupled with Sepharose 4B containing 1,6-diaminohexane as spacer group. This material was used as a specific adsorbent in the purification of Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase. The enzyme was completely retarded and separated from the bulk of the protein when washed with 50mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0. A stepwise increase of sodium chloride concentration from 1.0 to 2.0M was found to be necessary for a sharp elution of neuraminidase activity. The purification was tenfold, and a recovery of more than 90% was obtained. Neuraminidase is only weakly retarded on a column of 1,6-diaminohexane coupled with Sepharose 4B and is not adsorbed by Sepharose 4B.
