Magical Thinking01:29

Magical Thinking

217
Magical thinking encompasses the belief in assumptions that defy logical reasoning yet appear intuitively convincing. It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...

Peptide Bonds02:43

Peptide Bonds

83.2K
A peptide bond covalently attaches amino acids through a dehydration reaction. One amino acid's carboxyl group and another amino acid's amino group combine, releasing a water molecule. The resulting bond is the peptide bond. The products that such linkages form are peptides. As more amino acids join this growing chain, the resulting chain is a polypeptide. Each polypeptide has a free amino group at one end. This end has the N-terminal, or the amino-terminal, and the other end has a free...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.1K
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Glinides01:06

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Glinides

672
Repaglinide (Prandin) and Nateglinide (Starlix), known as glinides, are oral insulin secretagogues that stimulate insulin release from pancreatic β cells by closing the ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channel). Repaglinide controls insulin release from pancreatic β cells by managing potassium efflux. It shares two binding sites with sulfonylureas and also has a unique site, indicating overlapping mechanisms of action. With a rapid onset and a 4-7 hour duration, it effectively...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral01:16

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral

3.1K
The oral stage is the initial phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, occurring from birth to approximately 12 to 18 months. During this period, the infant's mouth serves as the primary source of pleasure, with actions such as sucking, chewing, biting, and drinking playing a crucial role in reducing tension. These activities are essential not only for nourishment but also for the infant's psychological and emotional satisfaction.
Weaning, typically occurring...

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral

1.7K
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

Area of Science:

  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Drug Discovery
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Peptide drug development traditionally focused on affinity, selectivity, and stability.
  • Oral availability is crucial for convenient, everyday peptide-based therapeutics.
  • Achieving oral bioavailability in peptides presents significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current strategies for developing orally active peptides.
  • To explore chemical modifications and model peptides enhancing oral bioavailability.
  • To summarize the state of research and identify limitations in peptide oral delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diverse chemical modifications for peptide oral delivery.
  • Analysis of model peptides optimized for bioavailability.
  • Examination of successful and unsuccessful orally active peptides.

Main Results:

  • A sequential, twofold optimization process (affinity/selectivity and oral availability) is necessary.
  • Two main approaches exist: enhancing existing peptides or using stable scaffolds.
  • Many claimed general solutions for peptide oral availability have limited success across different peptides.

Conclusions:

  • No single "magic bullet" strategy guarantees the design of orally active peptides with desired biological functions.
  • Understanding structural influences on oral availability is key but complex.
  • Further research is needed to develop rational design strategies for orally active peptides.
