Abstract
PAR1, member of the family of protease-activated receptors, is a GPCR whose activation requires a proteolytic cleavage at its extracellular N-terminus to unveil a tethered activating ligand. Although thrombin is the main activator of this receptor, diverse other proteases can also activate and disarm PAR1. Besides, tethered activating ligand-based peptides (PAR-APs) can also activate the receptor. PAR1 mainly signals via G proteins but, it can also signal using β-arrestin pathways and by transactivation of other receptors. This complex PAR1 interactome is completed with the receptor desensitization, trafficking, and degradation. PAR1 has shown species-, cellular-, and physiological or pathological state-dependent specificity. This review try to give an overview on the complex PAR1 interactome, its therapeutic impact upon the cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems, inflammation and cancer, as well as, on its modulation with agonists and antagonists.
Keywords: G-Protein signaling, Interactome, PAR1, PAR1 modulators, PPIs, Protease-activated receptors, Therapeutic target, Thrombin.

Adaptogens—History and Future Perspectives
Adaptogens are pharmacologically active compounds or plant extracts that are associated with the ability to enhance the body’s stability against stress. The intake of adaptogens is associated not only with a better ability to adapt to stress and maintain or normalise metabolic functions but also with better mental and physical ...read more
AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Challenges, Consequences and Possible Treatments of Anticancer Drug Discovery ll
The use of several compounds has been the subject of increasing interest in phytochemistry, biochemistry, and other fields of research at the chemistry-biology-ecosystems interface. In spite of the continued search for new anticancer drugs, cancer remains a leading cause of death. Cancer mortalities are expected to increase to 12.9 million, ...read more
