[PMID: 38929640 PMCID: PMC11205026 DOI: 10.3390/life14060656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The global prevalence of obesity is a pressing health issue, increasing the medical burden and posing significant health risks to humans. The side effects and complications associated with conventional medication and surgery have spurred the search for anti-obesity drugs from plant resources. Previous studies have suggested that Artemisiae argyi Folium (Aiye) water extracts could inhibit pancreatic lipase activities, control body weight increase, and improve the plasma lipids profile. However, the exact components and mechanisms were not precisely understood. Therefore, this research aims to identify the chemical profile of Aiye and provide a comprehensive prediction of its anti-obesity mechanisms. The water extract of Aiye was subjected to LC-MS analysis, which identified 30 phenolics. The anti-obesity mechanisms of these phenolics were then predicted, employing network pharmacology and molecular docking. Among the 30 phenolics, 21 passed the drug-likeness screening and exhibited 486 anti-obesity targets. The enrichment analysis revealed that these phenolics may combat obesity through PI3K-Akt signaling and MAPK, prolactin, and cAMP signaling pathways. Eight phenolics and seven central targets were selected for molecular docking, and 45 out of 56 docking had a binding affinity of less than -5 kcal/mol. This research has indicated the potential therapy targets and signaling pathways of Aiye in combating obesity.

Abstract
Pancreatic lipase (PLP) is an enzyme responsible for the catalytic hydrolysis of fats and its inhibition is relevant for obesity management. Side effects linked with orthodox inhibitors have, however, paved the way for an increased search for safe natural sources. The present study investigated the anti-glycation, anti-inflammatory, and anti-lipase properties of Rauvolfia vomitoria aqueous (ARV), ethanolic (ERV), and methanolic (MRV) leaf extracts coupled with the molecular interactions of selected bioactive compounds with PLP using in vitro and in silico techniques. Phytochemical constituents were characterized using spectroscopic techniques. Drug-likeness and chemical reactivity profile of selected bioactive compounds were analyzed using SwissADME and quantum chemical calculations. FT-IR and GC-MS affirmed the presence of phenolic compounds including 3-phenyl-2-ethoxypropylphthalimide and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-indole. All extracts showed moderate anti-glycation, anti-inflammatory, and lipase inhibitory capacities relative to standard controls. However, MRV exhibited the highest lipase inhibition (IC50, 0.17 ± 0.01 mg/mL), using a mixed-inhibition pattern. MRV interaction with PLP resulted in decreased secondary structure components of PLP (α-sheet, β-turn). MRV compounds (MCP20, MCP28, etc.) exhibited low chemical hardness, EHOMO-ELUMO energy gap, and high chemical reactivity. Foremost MRV compounds obeyed Lipinski's rule of five for drug-likeness and interacted with PHE-78 amongst others at PLP catalytic domain with high binding affinity (≥ - 9.3 kcal/mol). Pi-alkyl hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding were predominantly involved. Our findings provide scientific insights into the ethnotherapeutic uses of R. vomitoria extracts for the management of obesity and related complications, plus useful information for optimizable drug-like candidates against obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is the excessive accumulation of body fat resulting from impairment in energy balance mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanism whereby GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) prevents high-fat diet-induced obesity, and whether it induces lipolysis and browning in white adipose tissue (WAT), using high-fat diet (HFD)-fed obese mice and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We demonstrated that GABA substantially inhibits the body mass gain of mice by suppressing adipogenesis and lipogenesis. Consistent with this result, histological analysis of WAT demonstrated that GABA decreases adipocyte size. Moreover, we show that GABA administration decreases fasting blood glucose and improves serum lipid profiles and hepatic lipogenesis in HFD-fed obese mice. Furthermore, Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses showed that GABA activates protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathways that increase lipolysis and promote uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)-mediated WAT browning. Overall, these results suggest that GABA exerts an anti-obesity effect via the regulation of lipid metabolism.

Abstract
The synthesis of 1,3-benzoselenazoles was achieved by the reaction of corresponding bis[3-amino-N-(p-tolyl)benzamide-2-yl] diselenide, bis[3-amino-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzamide-2-yl] diselenide, and bis[3-amino-N-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl) benzamide-2-yl] diselenide with aryl aldehydes. The 1,3-benzoselenazoles continued to exist as planar molecules due to the presence of secondary Se···O interactions as revealed by the single-crystal X-ray analysis. The presence of secondary Se···O interactions in 1,3-benzoselenazoles was confirmed using natural bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecules (AIM) calculations. Nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) values suggested the presence of aromatic character in a five-membered benzoselenazole heterocyclic ring. The glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like antioxidant activity of all 1,3-benzoselenazoles was assessed using a thiophenol assay, exhibiting greater antioxidant activity than Ph2Se2 used as a reference. The most active catalyst carrying a strong electron-donating group (-NMe2) at the ortho-position to the benzoselenazole ring was further investigated at different concentrations of thiophenol, H2O2, and 1,3-benzoselenazoles as catalyst for determining their catalytic parameters. Moreover, the potential applications of all 1,3-benzoselenazoles against pancreatic lipase (PL) have been identified using in silico interactions between the active sites of the 1LPB protein as evaluated using a molecular docking study.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery offers the best health results in overweight and obese patients but is not a risk and/or complication-free treatment. In cases with additional hyperglycemia, the burden of surgery can be even higher and alter both short-term and long-term outcomes. Although bariatric surgery offers glycemic improvements and in the case of early onset diabetes disease remission, weight loss results are lower than for obese patients without diabetes. Different multimodal programs, usually including interventions related to patients’ performance, nutritional and psychological status as well as currently available pharmacotherapy before the surgery itself might considerably improve the immediate and late postoperative course. However, there are still no clear guidelines addressing the prehabilitation of obese patients with dysglycemia undergoing bariatric surgery and therefore no unique protocols to improve patients’ health. In this minireview, we summarize the current knowledge on prehabilitation before bariatric surgery procedures in patients with obesity and dysglycemia.

Abstract
Obesity is considered a health hazard in part due to the associated multiple diseases. As rates of obesity continue to increase, a new strategy for its prevention and treatment is required. Compound-K, an active ingredient in ginseng, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Although ginseng has used as various therapeutics, its potential ability to alleviate metabolic diseases by regulating adipocyte differentiation is still unknown. In this study, we found that CK treatment significantly inhibited lipid droplet and adipogenesis by downregulating the mRNA expression of C/ebpα, Ppar-γ, Fabp4, Srebp1, and adiponectin as well as protein levels of C/EBPα, PPAR-γ, and FABP4. CK also decreased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), while it increased endogeneous antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) 3 and SOD2. We observed that CK treatment suppressed the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and cyclin B1 during the mitotic clonal expansion (MCE) of adipocyte differentiation, and it arrested adipocytes at the G2/M stage due to the increased expression of p21 and p27. CK decreased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 and protein kinase B (AKT) in early-stage adipogenesis. In addition, the inhibition of adipogenesis by CK significantly increased the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Interestingly, AMPK pharmacological inhibition with Dorsomorphin limited the effect of CK on suppressing PPAR-γ expression in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. Our results suggest that CK exerts anti-adipogenic effects in 3T3-L1 cells through the activation of AMPK and inhibition of ERK/p38 and AKT signaling pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : The prevalence of both obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) are increasing worldwide (twindemic), and the association between the two chronic diseases is also well-established. AREAS COVERED : In this narrative review, we will briefly describe the double burdens of both diseases, the impact of weight loss or gain on OA incidence and structural progression and discuss the biomechanical and anti-inflammatory mechanisms mediating these effects. FDA-approved anti-obesity drugs are summarized in terms of their clinical efficacy and safety profile, and the completed or ongoing phase 2/3 clinical trials of such drugs in OA patients with obesity are examined. EXPERT OPINION : We will discuss the perspectives related to principles of prescription of anti-obesity drugs, the potential role of phenotype-guided approach, time to drug effects in clinical trials, sustainability of weight loss based on the real-world studies, the importance of concomitant therapies such as dieting and exercises, and the role of weight loss on non-weight bearing OA joints. Although obesity is the major risk factor for OA pathogenesis and progression, and there are a variety of anti-obesity medications on the market, research on the use of these disease-modifying drugs in OA (DMOAD) is still sparse..

Abstract
Background: Obesity is a complex disease, and its prevalence is gradually increasing globally. The increasing prevalence of obesity is shown to significantly affect the development of obesity-related comorbidities. This paper describes the recent updates on obesity treatment in Korea based on the 2020 Korean Society for the Study of Obesity guidelines for obesity management.Current Concepts: Accurate evaluation of obesity is important before treatment initiation. Obesity in Korean adults is defined as body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, and abdominal obesity is defined as waist circumference ≥90 cm for men and ≥85 cm for women. It is recommended that energy intake be reduced and that the degree of energy restriction be individualized based on patient characteristics and medical conditions. Guidelines recommend assessment of the exercise participation and health status before prescribing exercise therapy; aerobic exercise for at least 150 min/week or 3–5 times/week is advised to facilitate weight loss. Although nutrition and behavior therapy and increased physical activity constitute the mainstay of obesity treatment, pharmacotherapy is recommended concomitant with comprehensive lifestyle modification. Bariatric surgery should be actively considered in patients with severe obesity and in those with obesity-related comorbidities.Discussion and Conclusion: Obesity and the associated comorbidities result in an increased socioeconomic and medical burden. Multifactorial intervention using a team approach is warranted for optimal management of obesity. This guideline will benefit primary care physicians for safe and effective decision-making regarding obesity management and treatment.

Abstract
Background: Obesity and obesity-related comorbidities are increasingly being recognized as significant threats to global health. Pharmacological treatments are required in patients in whom lifestyle modifications fail to achieve an individual’s target body weight.Current Concepts: Currently available short-term anti-obesity drugs, including phentermine, diethylpropion, and mazindol (all sympathetic nerve agents) serve as appetite suppressants. Prescription anti-obesity drugs currently approved for long-term use in Korea include orlistat, phentermine/topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion, and liraglutide. Semaglutide (2.4 mg) has recently been authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treatment of obesity. Research is underway to introduce novel drugs that are likely to revolutionize the global anti-obesity drug market. Representative examples include tirzepatide, a dual agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and cagrilintide, an amylin analogue. These drugs have shown excellent weight-loss effects with tolerable adverse effects in phase II or III clinical trials, with significantly greater effectiveness than that of currently available medications.Discussion and Conclusion: Despite the introduction of a variety of anti-obesity drugs, these agents are not currently widely used in all patients with obesity owing to high costs, adverse effects, and unsatisfactory effectiveness. Further research is warranted to determine the effects and adverse effects of combinations of available drugs, including tirzepatide and cagrilintide, along with the development of newer agents that may show a different mechanism of action.

Abstract
The rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity and obesity-associated morbidity is causing an ever-increasing global burden. Beyond lifestyle modifications, pharmacological approaches to losing body weight to achieve a decrease in cardiometabolic complications are in the spotlight. Pre-existing anti-obesity medications (AOMs) approved for long-term prescription use showed a weight reduction of around 5% more than placebo. In contrast to the modest efficacy of pre-existing AOMs, two newly developed, weekly-administered injectable drugs, semaglutide and tirzepatide, exhibited outstanding weight-loss effects in a series of multinational randomized phase III trials. Considering that these two peptides are the most promising candidates for the upcoming battle in the anti-obesity market, comparison of their efficacy and safety is essential. This review summarizes the body weight reduction efficacy, glycemic control, and safety of semaglutide up to a 2.4-mg dose and tirzepatide up to a 15-mg dose, focusing on the Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity (STEP) 2, SURPASS-1, and SURPASS-2 trials, the subjects of which were all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Eating disorders, like binge eating, have a strong association with schizophrenia. Illness characteristics like disordered eating, cognition, and behavior can lead to eating disorders. Previous research highlighted the neurobiological structural similarity and the role of hormonal factors, like hypocretin, in the etiology of eating disorders in schizophrenia. Modifying the obesogenic environment by adapting healthy eating styles has been effective in reducing binging episodes. Antipsychotic medications also have a role in altering eating patterns that result in binge eating disorder. Adolescents with psychosis have a higher incidence of eating disorders. Here, we present an elderly female with schizophrenia who had obesogenic behaviors along with binge eating disorder. Interestingly, the patient had atypical age of onset and presentation and no psychopathological symptoms as a reason for binging.

Abstract
Diallyl disulfide (DADS), an oil-soluble sulfur compound that is responsible for the biological effects of garlic, displays numerous biological activities, among which its anti-cancer activities are the most famous ones. In recent years, the pharmacological effects of DADS other than its anti-carcinogenic activities have attracted numerous attentions. For example, it has been reported that DADS can prevent the microglia-mediated neuroinflammatory response and depression-like behaviors in mice. In the cardiovascular system, DADS administration was found to ameliorate the isoproterenol- or streptozotocin-induced cardiac dysfunction via the activation of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling. DADS administration can also produce neuroprotective effects in animal models of Alzheimer's disease and protect the heart, endothelium, liver, lung, and kidney against cellular or tissue damages induced by various toxic factors, such as the oxidized-low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), ethanol, acetaminophen, Cis-Diammine Dichloroplatinum (CisPt), and gentamicin. The major mechanisms of action of DADS in disease prevention and/or treatment include inhibition of inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular apoptosis. Mechanisms, including the activation of Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), protein kinase A (PKA), and cyclic adenosine monophosphate-response element binding protein (CREB) and the inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs), can also mediate the cellular protective effects of DADS in different tissues and organs. In this review, we summarize and discuss the pharmacological effects of DADS other than its anti-carcinogenic activities, aiming to reveal more possibilities for DADS in disease prevention and/or treatment.
