Water as a green solvent for sustainable sample preparation: single drop microextraction of N-nitrosamines from losartan tablets.

Water, renowned for its sustainability and minimal toxicity, is an ideal candidate for environmentally friendly solvent-based microextraction. However, its potential as an extractant solvent in miniaturized sample preparation remains largely unexplored. This paper pioneers using water as the extraction solvent in headspace single-drop microextraction (HS-SDME) for N-nitrosamines from losartan tablets. Autonomous HS-SDME is executed by an Arduino-controlled, lab-made Cartesian robot, using water for the online preconcentration of enriched extracts through direct injection into a column-switching system. Critical experimental parameters influencing HS-SDME performance are systematically explored through univariate and multivariate experiments. While most previously reported methods for determining N-nitrosamines in pharmaceutical formulations rely on highly selective mass spectrometry detection techniques to handle the strong matrix effects typical of pharmaceutical samples, the water-based HS-SDME method efficiently eliminates the interfering effects of a large amount of the pharmaceutical active ingredient and tablet excipients, allowing straightforward analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV-Vis). Under optimized conditions, the developed method exhibits linear responses from 100 to 2400 ng g-1, demonstrating appropriate detectability, precision, and accuracy for the proposed application. Additionally, the environmental sustainability of the method is assessed using the AGREEprep methodology, positioning it as an outstanding green alternative for determining hazardous contaminants in pharmaceutical products.

Chloroformate-mediated ring cleavage of indole alkaloids leads to re-engineered antiplasmodial agents.

Natural product ring distortion strategies have enabled rapid access to unique libraries of stereochemically complex compounds to explore new chemical space and increase our understanding of biological processes related to human disease. Herein is described the development of a ring-cleavage strategy using the indole alkaloids yohimbine, apovincamine, vinburnine, and reserpine that were reacted with a diversity of chloroformates paired with various alcohol/thiol nucleophiles to enable the rapid synthesis of 47 novel small molecules. Ring cleavage reactions of yohimbine and reserpine produced two diastereomeric products in moderate to excellent yields, whereas apovincamine and vinburnine produced a single diastereomeric product in significantly lower yields. Free energy calculations indicated that diastereoselectivity regarding select ring cleavage reactions from yohimbine and apovincamine is dictated by the geometry and three-dimensional structure of reactive cationic intermediates. These compounds were screened for antiplasmodial activity due to the need for novel antimalarial agents. Reserpine derivative 41 was found to exhibit interesting antiplasmodial activities against Plasmodium falciparum parasites (EC50 = 0.50 µM against Dd2 cultures), while its diastereomer 40 was found to be three-fold less active (EC50 = 1.78 µM). Overall, these studies demonstrate that the ring distortion of available indole alkaloids can lead to unique compound collections with re-engineered biological activities for exploring and potentially treating human disease.

Aneurisma de seio de valsalva - patologia silenciosa / Valsalva sinus aneurysm - silent pathology

APRESENTAÇÃO DO CASO: Caso 1- G.H.A, 14 anos, deu entrada no serviço, com histórico de palpitações, além de diagnóstico de comunicação interatrial (CIA) e interventricular (CIV), em acompanhamento ambulatorial. Realizou ecocardiograma transtorácico (ECOTT) que evidenciou CIV perimembranosa, parcialmente ocluída por tecido acessório das valvas tricúspide e aórtica, com tecido da valva coronária direita protuindo para o átrio direito, formando um aneurisma do seio coronário direito roto, com fluxo aorta-átrio direito. Após realização de exame encaminhado para internação de urgência, durante a qual foi submetido a ventriculosseptoplastia (VSP) e plastia da válvula coronária direita da valva aórtica. Caso 2- H.C.S, 6 anos, assintomático, em seguimento ambulatorial devido CIV. Foi submetido a ECOTT de controle, no qual evidenciou-se uma CIV duplamente relacionada, parcialmente ocluída por tecido acessório das valvas tricúspide e aórtica, com prolapso da válvula coronariana direita e aneurisma do seio de valsalva. Após realização do diagnóstico encaminhado eletivamente para correção cirúrgica, sendo realizado VSP. DISCUSSÃO: O aneurisma do seio de valsalva é uma patologia rara associada a cardiopatias congênitas como CIV, valva aórtica bicúspide e coartação de aorta. O aneurisma mais comum é relacionado ao seio coronário direito. Geralmente, os pacientes desenvolvem sintomas apenas após sua ruptura ­ palpitações, sinais de baixo débito, síncopes. O método de escolha para diagnóstico é o ecocardiograma, sendo um exame de baixo custo, amplamente disponível e não invasivo. Em alguns casos outros métodos complementários são necessários para auxiliar o diagnóstico, tais como angiotomografia computadorizada e ressonância nuclear magnética. COMENTÁRIOS FINAIS: Trata-se da comparação de dois casos clínicos demonstrando a associação de CIV parcialmente ocluída por tecido acessório da valva aórtica e aneurisma de seio de valsalva. Dessa forma, ressalta-se a importância do acompanhamento clínico e ecocardiográfico deste grupo de pacientes, que, por muitas vezes, apresentam-se assintomáticos, possibilitando a intervenção cirúrgica precoce e evitando desfechos desfavoráveis e graves, como a própria rotura do aneurisma do seio de valsava.

Negative effects of cigarette butt leachate on freshwater phytoplankton communities.

We experimentally tested the effects of different concentrations of cigarette butt leachate on freshwater phytoplankton chlorophyll-a, species richness, cell density, and community composition. For this, we sampled the phytoplankton from a eutrophic lake and acclimated it for 24 h in microcosms. We then conducted the experiment in microcosms maintained for 96 h. The experiment consisted of four treatments: control and leachate from 1 butt L-1 (T1), 5 butts L-1 (T5), and 10 butts L-1 (T10), which were prepared by diluting a stock solution of leachate from 50 butts L-1. We found that algal chlorophyll-a content was not affected by different leachate concentrations. In contrast, phytoplankton cell density decreased in a dose-dependent manner as concentrations of the leachate increased. Similarly, the number of species was highest in the control group relative to all other treatments, with T1 and T5 showing higher species richness than T10. Additionally, the exposition to different concentrations of the leachate impacted community composition across all treatments in comparison to the control group. Our results suggest that cigarette butt leachate alters the number of cells and species, as well as the distribution of abundance, without necessarily reducing chlorophyll-a concentrations. Our findings indicate that to gain a comprehensive understanding of the effects of cigarette butt leachate on freshwater ecosystems, it is essential to evaluate more realistic scenarios that incorporate aquatic communities, rather than isolated species.

Exploring Tau Fibril-Disaggregating and Antioxidating Molecules Binding to Membrane-Bound Amyloid Oligomers Using Machine Learning-Enhanced Docking and Molecular Dynamics.

Intracellular tau fibrils are sources of neurotoxicity and oxidative stress in Alzheimer's. Current drug discovery efforts have focused on molecules with tau fibril disaggregation and antioxidation functions. However, recent studies suggest that membrane-bound tau-containing oligomers (mTCOs), smaller and less ordered than tau fibrils, are neurotoxic in the early stage of Alzheimer's. Whether tau fibril-targeting molecules are effective against mTCOs is unknown. The binding of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), CNS-11, and BHT-CNS-11 to in silico mTCOs and experimental tau fibrils was investigated using machine learning-enhanced docking and molecular dynamics simulations. EGCG and CNS-11 have tau fibril disaggregation functions, while the proposed BHT-CNS-11 has potential tau fibril disaggregation and antioxidation functions like EGCG. Our results suggest that the three molecules studied may also bind to mTCOs. The predicted binding probability of EGCG to mTCOs increases with the protein aggregate size. In contrast, the predicted probability of CNS-11 and BHT-CNS-11 binding to the dimeric mTCOs is higher than binding to the tetrameric mTCOs for the homo tau but not for the hetero tau-amylin oligomers. Our results also support the idea that anionic lipids may promote the binding of molecules to mTCOs. We conclude that tau fibril-disaggregating and antioxidating molecules may bind to mTCOs, and that mTCOs may also be useful targets for Alzheimer's drug design.

Rationally Minimizing Natural Product Libraries Using Mass Spectrometry.

Natural product libraries are crucial to drug development, but large libraries drastically increase the time and cost during initial high throughput screens. Here, we developed a method that leverages liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry spectral similarity to dramatically reduce library size, with minimal bioactive loss. This method offers a broadly applicable strategy for accelerated drug discovery with cost reductions, which enable implementation in resource-limited settings.

Understanding the Antiplasmodial Action of Resistance-Refractory Xanthoquinodin A1.

Our previous work identified a series of 12 xanthoquinodin analogues and 2 emodin-dianthrones with broad-spectrum activities against Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Cryptosporidium parvum, and Plasmodium falciparum. Analyses conducted in this study revealed that the most active analogue, xanthoquinodin A1, also inhibits Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites and the liver stage of Plasmodium berghei, with no cross-resistance to the known antimalarial targets PfACS, PfCARL, PfPI4K, or DHODH. In Plasmodium, inhibition occurs prior to multinucleation and induces parasite death following 12 h of compound exposure. This moderately fast activity has impeded resistance line generation, with xanthoquinodin A1 demonstrating an irresistible phenotype in both T. gondii and P. falciparum.

Maternal pregnancy hypertension impairs nitric oxide formation and results in increased arterial blood pressure in first-generation offspring female rats.

OBJECTIVES: Maternal endothelial dysfunction in pregnancy hypertension is related to impairment of nitric oxide (NO) formation. However, NO levels and hemodynamic repercussions on the female offspring remain unclear. Therefore, this study hypothesized that maternal pregnancy hypertension reduces circulating NO metabolites and increases arterial blood pressure in first-generation offspring female rats. STUDY DESIGN: Descendant female rats were distributed in four groups as follows: virgin offspring of normotensive (VN) and hypertensive (VH) mothers and pregnant offspring of normotensive (PN) and hypertensive (PH) mothers. Hemodynamic and biochemical analyses were performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and body weight were measured. NO metabolites in plasma, NO formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) incubated with plasma, and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression in aortas were determined. RESULTS: Increased SBP, DBP, and reduced HR were found on the 60 days of life in the VH group, whereas the PH group showed increased SBP and HR on pregnancy day 7. All groups showed no differences in body weight gain and eNOS expression. Plasma levels of NO metabolites were increased in the PN compared to the other groups. Increases in the NO formation were greater in HUVECs incubated with plasma from VN and PN groups compared to the VH and PH groups. CONCLUSIONS: Female virgin and pregnant first-generation offspring rats from hypertensive pregnant mothers may have negative cardiovascular repercussions featured by increases in SBP, and possibly impaired NO formation is involved.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticle using pollen extract from Tetragonisca angustula a stingless bee.

This study explores the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using a methanolic extract of fermented pollen from Tetragonisca angustula, a species of stingless bees. The AgNPs exhibit spherical morphology, low charge values, and suspension stability, with their unique composition attributed to elements from the pollen extract. Antioxidant assays show comparable activity between the pollen extract and AgNPs, emphasizing the retention of antioxidant effects. The synthesized AgNPs demonstrate antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria, highlighting their potential in combating bacterial resistance. The AgNPs exhibit no toxic effects on Drosophila melanogaster and even enhance the hatching rate of eggs. The study underscores the innovative use of stingless bee pollen extract in green synthesis, offering insights into the varied applications of AgNPs in biomedicine.

Regional modulation of toll-like receptor signaling pathway genes in acute epididymitis in mice.

BACKGROUND: Region-specific immune environments in the epididymis influence the immune responses to uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infection, a relevant cause of epididymitis in men. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are essential to orchestrate immune responses against bacterial infections. The epididymis displays region-specific inflammatory responses to bacterial-derived TLR agonists, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS; TLR4 agonist) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA; TLR2/TLR6 agonist), suggesting that TLR-associated signaling pathways could influence the magnitude of inflammatory responses in epididymitis. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the expression and regulation of key genes associated with TLR4 and TLR2/TLR6 signaling pathways during epididymitis induced by UPEC, LPS, and LTA in mice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Epididymitis was induced in mice using UPEC, ultrapure LPS, or LTA, injected into the interstitial space of the initial segment or the lumen of the vas deferens close to the cauda epididymidis. Samples were harvested after 1, 5, and 10 days for UPEC-treated animals and 6 and 24 h for LPS-/LTA-treated animals. Ex vivo epididymitis was induced by incubating epididymal regions from naive mice with LPS or LTA. RT-qPCR and Western blot assays were conducted. RESULTS: UPEC infection up-regulated Tlr2, Tlr4, and Tlr6 transcripts and their associated signaling molecules Cd14, Ticam1, and Traf6 in the cauda epididymidis but not in the initial segment. In these epididymal regions, LPS and LTA differentially modulated Tlr2, Tlr4, Tlr6, Cd14, Myd88, Ticam1, Traf3, and Traf6 expression levels. NFKB and AP1 activation was required for LPS- and LTA-induced up-regulation of TLR-associated signaling transcripts in the cauda epididymidis and initial segment, respectively. CONCLUSION: The dynamic modulation of TLR4 and TLR2/TLR6 signaling pathways gene expression during epididymitis indicates bacterial-derived antigens elicit an increased tissue sensitivity to combat microbial infection in a spatial manner in the epididymis. Differential activation of TLR-associated signaling pathways may contribute to fine-tuning inflammatory responses along the epididymis.

Multiscale Modeling of Macromolecular Interactions between Tau-Amylin Oligomers and Asymmetric Lipid Nanodomains That Link Alzheimer's and Diabetic Diseases.

The molecular events of protein misfolding and self-aggregation of tau and amylin are associated with the progression of Alzheimer's and diabetes, respectively. Recent studies suggest that tau and amylin can form hetero-tau-amylin oligomers. Those hetero-oligomers are more neurotoxic than homo-tau oligomers. So far, the detailed interactions between the hetero-oligomers and the neuronal membrane are unknown. Using multiscale MD simulations, the lipid binding and protein folding behaviors of hetero-oligomers on asymmetric lipid nanodomains or raft membranes were examined. Our raft membranes contain phase-separated phosphatidylcholine (PC), cholesterol, and anionic phosphatidylserine (PS) or ganglioside (GM1) in one leaflet of the lipid bilayer. The hetero-oligomers bound more strongly to the PS and GM1 than other lipids via the hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions, respectively, in the raft membranes. The hetero-tetramer disrupted the acyl chain orders of both PC and PS in the PS-containing raft membrane, but only the GM1 in the GM1-containing raft membrane as effectively as the homo-tau-tetramer. We discovered that the alpha-helical content in the heterodimer was greater than the sum of alpha-helical contents from isolated tau and amylin monomers on both raft membranes, indicative of a synergetic effect of tau-amylin interactions in surface-induced protein folding. Our results provide new molecular insights into understanding the cross-talk between Alzheimer's and diabetes.

Satellite DNAs, heterochromatin, and sex chromosomes of the wattled jacana (Charadriiformes; Jacanidae): a species with highly rearranged karyotype.

Charadriiformes, which comprises shorebirds and their relatives, is one of the most diverse avian orders, with over 390 species showing a wide range of karyotypes. Here, we isolated and characterized the whole collection of satellite DNAs (satDNAs) at both molecular and cytogenetic levels of one of its representative species, named the wattled jacana (Jacana jacana), a species that contains a typical ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system and a highly rearranged karyotype. In addition, we also investigate the in situ location of telomeric and microsatellite repeats. A small catalog of 11 satDNAs was identified that typically accumulated on microchromosomes and on the W chromosome. The latter also showed a significant accumulation of telomeric signals, being (GA)10 the only microsatellite with positive hybridization signals among all the 16 tested ones. These current findings contribute to our understanding of the genomic organization of repetitive DNAs in a bird species with high degree of chromosomal reorganization contrary to the majority of bird species that have stable karyotypes.

Satellitome Analysis in the Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) Genome: Implications for SatDNA Evolution in Charadriiform Birds.

Vanellus (Charadriidae; Charadriiformes) comprises around 20 species commonly referred to as lapwings. In this study, by integrating cytogenetic and genomic approaches, we assessed the satellite DNA (satDNA) composition of one typical species, Vanellus chilensis, with a highly conserved karyotype. We additionally underlined its role in the evolution, structure, and differentiation process of the present ZW sex chromosome system. Seven distinct satellite DNA families were identified within its genome, accumulating on the centromeres, microchromosomes, and the W chromosome. However, these identified satellite DNA families were not found in two other Charadriiformes members, namely Jacana jacana and Calidris canutus. The hybridization of microsatellite sequences revealed the presence of a few repetitive sequences in V. chilensis, with only two out of sixteen displaying positive hybridization signals. Overall, our results contribute to understanding the genomic organization and satDNA evolution in Charadriiform birds.

Patient activation levels and socioeconomic factors among the Amazonas population with diabetes: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: The presence of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) requires behavioral lifestyle changes mediated by individuals' motivation for change and adherence to treatment. This study aims to explore activation levels in individuals with T2DM treated in primary care facilities and to identify the association between demographic, clinical, psychosocial factors, and patient activation amongst populations in the Brazilian state of Amazonas. METHODS: SAPPA is a cross-sectional study conducted in Amazonas, approved by the Universidade Federal do Amazona's IRB in Brazil. Individuals with T2DM were evaluated in their homes (n = 4,318,325). The variables were sex, age, skin color, education level; health-related variables such as body mass index, nutritional behavior, and frequency of physical activity. Measures related to patient self-management behaviors over the past 6 months (Patient Activation Measure - PAM-13) were included in the survey. Descriptive and frequency data are presented as mean (standard deviation (SD)) or numeric percentage). Statistical testing was performed using IBM SPSS V.26, and a p-value of < 0.050 showed significance. Activation levels were dichotomized into low activation (Levels 1 and 2) and high activation (Levels 3 and 4). A multivariate linear model assessed the association between the PAM-13 score and the following variables: age, sex, BMI, skin color, number of comorbidities, burden of symptoms, and number of medications. RESULTS: Logistic regression analyses indicated a statistically significant association between sex, age, education, self-rated health, and general satisfaction with life. men were 43% more likely to score lower levels (p < 0.001). The results also indicated that advanced age had lower PAM levels (p < 0.001). Participants with fewer years of education were 44% more likely to have lower levels of PAM (p = 0.03). Worse self-rated health (p < 0.001) and lower general life satisfaction (p = 0.014) were associated with lower PAM levels. CONCLUSIONS: Low patient activation was associated with worse sociodemographic, health, and psychological conditions in the Amazon population. The low level of patient activation observed in this sample highlights an important impediment to diabetes disease management/self-management in disadvantaged populations.

What is known about the effects of vitamin D in neuropsychiatric lupus?

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can affect several organs and systems. The central and/or peripheral nervous system can suffer from complications known as neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE). Studies have associated the manifestations of SLE or NPSLE with vitamin D deficiency. It has been shown that hypovitaminosis D can lead to cognition deficits and cerebral hypoperfusion in patients with NPSLE. In this review article, we will address the main features related to vitamin D supplementation or serum vitamin D levels with neuropsychiatric manifestations, either in patients or in animal models of NPSLE.

Transitioning from static to suspension culture system for large-scale production of xeno-free extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stromal cells.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown increasing therapeutic potential in the last years. However, large production of EV is required for therapeutic purposes. Thereby, scaling up MSC cultivation in bioreactors is essential to allow culture parameters monitoring. In this study, we reported the establishment of a scalable bioprocess to produce MSC-EV in suspension cultures using spinner flasks and human collagen-coated microcarriers (3D culture system). We compared the EV production in this 3D culture system with the standard static culture using T-flasks (2D culture system). The EV produced in both systems were characterized and quantify by western blotting and nanoparticle tracking analysis. The presence of the typical protein markers CD9, CD63, and CD81 was confirmed by western blotting analyses for EV produced in both culture systems. The cell fold-increase was 5.7-fold for the 3D culture system and 4.6-fold for the 2D culture system, signifying a fold-change of 1.2 (calculated as the ratio of fold-increase 3D to fold-increase 2D). Furthermore, it should be noted that the total cell production in the spinner flask cultures was 4.8 times higher than that in T-flask cultures. The total cell production in the spinner flask cultures was 5.2-fold higher than that in T-flask cultures. While the EV specific production (particles/cell) in T-flask cultures (4.40 ± 1.21 × 108 particles/mL, p < 0.05) was higher compared to spinner flask cultures (2.10 ± 0.04 × 108 particles/mL, p < 0.05), the spinner flask culture system offers scalability, making it capable of producing enough MSC-EV at a large scale for clinical applications. Therefore, we concluded that 3D culture system evaluated here serves as an efficient transitional platform that enables the scaling up of MSC-EV production for therapeutic purposes by utilizing stirred tank bioreactors and maintaining xeno-free conditions.

Antioxidant and anti-Alzheimer's potential of Tetragonisca angustula (Jataí) stingless bee pollen.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is considered the leading cause of dementia in the elderly worldwide. It results in progressive memory loss and impairment of cognitive and motor skills, leading to a high degree of disability and dependence. The development of AD is associated with the accumulation of senile plaques in the brain, caused by the amyloidogenic pathway of the disease. Several genetic and biochemical events are linked to AD development, with oxidative stress being one of them. Due to the scarcity of drugs aimed at treating AD, antioxidant compounds are increasingly studied as therapeutic targets for the disease. In this study, we investigate the antioxidant and anti-Alzheimer potential of the Tetragonisca angustula (Jataí) pollen extract in a Drosophila melanogaster Alzheimer's model. For this purpose, we utilized a D. melanogaster AD-like model, which expresses genes related to the amyloidogenic pathway of Alzheimer's disease. We explored the floral origin of the collected pollen, conducted phytochemical prospecting, and evaluated its antioxidant capacity in vitro. In vivo experiments involved assessing the survival and climbing ability of the D. melanogaster AD-like model with various concentrations of the pollen extract. Our findings revealed that the pollen extract of Tetragonisca angustula exhibits a significant antioxidant response and high concentrations of important phytochemicals, such as flavonoids and polyphenols. Furthermore, it enhanced the survival rate of D. melanogaster, and across all concentrations tested, it improved the climbing ability of the flies after 15 days of treatment with methanolic pollen extract. Additionally, the pollen extract reduced the neurodegeneration index in histopathological analysis. Thus, our study demonstrates the potential of Tetragonisca angustula pollen as an important subject for further investigation, aiming to isolate molecules that could potentially serve as therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease.

Immunoinformatic Approach for Rational Identification of Immunogenic Peptides Against Host Entry and/or Exit Mpox Proteins and Potential Multiepitope Vaccine Construction.

COVID-19 has intensified humanity's concern about the emergence of new pandemics. Since 2018, epidemic outbreaks of the mpox virus have become worrisome. In June 2022, the World Health Organization declared the disease a global health emergency, with 14 500 cases reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 60 countries. Therefore, the development of a vaccine based on the current virus genome is paramount in combating new cases. In view of this, we hypothesized the obtainment of rational immunogenic peptides predicted from proteins responsible for entry of the mpox virus into the host (A17L, A26L/A30L, A33R, H2R, L1R), exit (A27L, A35R, A36R, C19L), and both (B5R). To achieve this, we aligned the genome sequencing data of mpox virus isolated from an infected individual in the United States in June 2022 (ON674051.1) with the reference genome dated 2001 (NC_003310.1) for conservation analysis. The Immune Epitope Database server was used for the identification and characterization of the epitopes of each protein related to major histocompatibility complex I or II interaction and recognition by B-cell receptors, resulting in 138 epitopes for A17L, 233 for A28L, 48 for A33R, 77 for H2R, 77 for L1R, 270 for A27L, 72 for A35R, A36R, 148 for C19L, and 276 for B5R. These epitopes were tested in silico for antigenicity, physicochemical properties, and allergenicity, resulting in 51, 40, 10, 34, 38, 57, 25, 7, 47, and 53 epitopes, respectively. Additionally, to select an epitope with the highest promiscuity of binding to major histocompatibility complexes and B-cell receptor simultaneously, all epitopes of each protein were aligned, and the most repetitive and antigenic regions were identified. By classifying the results, we obtained 23 epitopes from the entry proteins, 16 from the exit proteins, and 7 from both. Subsequently, 1 epitope from each protein was selected, and all 3 were fused to construct a chimeric protein that has potential as a multiepitope vaccine. The constructed vaccine was then analyzed for its physicochemical, antigenic, and allergenic properties. Protein modeling, molecular dynamics, and molecular docking were performed on Toll-like receptors 2, 4, and 8, followed by in silico immune simulation of the vaccine. Finally, the results indicate an effective, stable, and safe vaccine that can be further tested, especially in vitro and in vivo, to validate the findings demonstrated in silico.
