The main purpose of this study is to figure out what role Sirtuins play in physiology and disease. Is it conceivable to discover sirtuins as a new pharmacological target that may be targeted with inhibitors or activators? Natural products, semi-synthetic medications, synthetic drugs, and repurposing drugs like alpha lipoic acid, resveratrol, vitamin D3, GLP-1, DPP-4 inhibitors, gene therapy with apelin, Icariin, coumestrol, dietary fatty acids, melatonin, Honokiol, SRT1460, and others SIRT is a prospective target for metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological, neuropsychiatry, neurodegenerative, and diabetic complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, among other diseases and catastrophic sequelae. Osteoporosis, bone problems, age-related changes, male and female infertility, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are all possible targets. SIRT inhibitors have the potential to be employed as anticancer drugs. However, only a few medicines with particular SIRT activators are...

Magonia pubescens is a tree species originally from the Brazilian Cerrado that bears fruit with winged seeds from which fixed oil can be extracted. This study analyzed the physical and chemical properties of the oil extracted from these seeds and the biodiesel produced thereof. Methods from the Adolfo Lutz Institute, American Oil Chemists Society and American Society for Testing and Materials were used. Seven fatty acids (oleic, arachidic, gadoleic, palmitic, palmitoleic, linoleic and stearic acids) were found in the oil. Acidity level (1.119 mg KOH•g -1 ), iodine value (77.36 cg I 2 •g -1 ), saponification value (133.36 mg KOH•g -1 ), density (0.8796 g•cm -3 ) and refractive index (1.3348nD) were low when compared to the high peroxide value (26.14 meq•kg -1 ), viscosity (101.46 mm²•s-¹) and moisture (0.88%) of other oils and fats used for biodiesel production. Biodiesel showed density (0.8484 g•cm -3 ), viscosity (29.62 mm -2 •s -1 ), acidity level (0.752 mg KOH•g -1 ) and saponifi...
