Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most commonly affecting neurodegenerative disorder prevalent in our society. The inherited autosomal recessive PD/parkinsonism occurs due to mutations in six genes including, the gene for PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue)-induced putative kinase1 (PINK1). The pathophysiology and development of disorders associated with the mitochondria occur simultaneously with the dysregulation of PINK1. The activation/regulation of PINK1 through autophagy regulators can reduce PD condition. This study focused on exploring the possibility of 2062 phytochemicals as autophagy regulators. In silico docking and simulation studies are performed to identify their binding with the PINK1. Our studies highlight the phytochemicals like Proanthocyanidin A-6, Withanolide Q, and pseudo-ginsenoside F11 that showed higher binding energy and stable interactions during the course of simulation. This study opens avenues for testing these compounds as positive modulators of PINK1 kinase activity using in vitro and in vivo methods and use of these compounds as phytotherapeutic for the treatment of PD.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
