Despite their worldwide use, very little is known about how nucleoside modifications in mRNA sequences affect their breakdown, transcription and protein synthesis. It was hoped that resident and circulating immune cells attracted to the injection site make copies of the spike protein while the injected mRNA degrades within a few days. It was also originally estimated that recombinant spike proteins generated by mRNA vaccines would persist in the body for a few weeks. In reality, clinical studies now report that modified SARS-CoV-2 mRNA routinely persist up to a month from injection and can be detected in cardiac and skeletal muscle at sites of inflammation and fibrosis, while the recombinant spike protein may persist a little over half a year in blood. Vaccination with 1-methylΨ (pseudouridine enriched) mRNA can elicit cellular immunity to peptide antigens produced by +1 ribosomal frameshifting in major histocompatibility complex-diverse people. The translation of 1-methylΨ mRNA using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry identified nine peptides derived from the mRNA +1 frame. These products impact on off-target host T cell immunity that include increased production of new B cell antigens with far reaching clinical consequences. As an example, a highly significant increase in heart muscle 18-flourodeoxyglucose uptake was detected in vaccinated patients up to half a year (180 days). This review article focuses on medical biochemistry, proteomics and deutenomics principles that explain the persisting spike phenomenon in circulation with organ-related functional damage even in asymptomatic individuals.

HF patients who are adherent to their medication have fewer HF exacerbations, improved survival, and lower healthcare expenditure. Adherence to HF medication plays a pivotal role in attaining maximal therapeutic outcomes. The aim was to assess the medication adherence of heart failure patients at Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (DBCSH). A pre‐post interventional study was undertaken from July 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, at the medical referral clinic of DBCSH. The educational interventions were provided for 6 months. Medication adherence was determined using the Morisky Green Levin Medication Adherence Scale (MGLS). The data was entered into Epidata version 4.2.0 and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 statistical software. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analysis were performed. The strength of the association between predictor variables and outcome variables was determined using a 95% confidence interval and adjusted odd ratio. In the pre‐intervention phase, 54.6% of patients had medium medication adherence, while in the post‐intervention phase, 36.4% of patients had high medication adherence and 61.9% of patients had medium medication adherence. Following the intervention, medication cost (120, 50%), inadequate availability of drugs (75, 31%), and forgetfulness (30, 13%) were the main reasons for medication non‐adherence. The presence of co‐morbidity and the number of co‐morbidity (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; .05) were significantly associated with the occurrence of decreased medication adherence in the pre‐intervention phase.

In this study, we developed the cell cycle prediction model using high‐content imaging data of recipient cells after drug exposure and DNA‐staining with a low‐toxic DNA dye, SiR‐DNA. For this purpose, we exploited HeLa and MCF7 cells introduced with a fluorescent ubiquitination‐based cell cycle indicator (Fucci). Fucci‐expressing cancer cells were subjected to high‐content imaging analysis using OperettaCLS after 36‐h exposure to anticancer drugs; the nuclei were segmented, and the morphological and intensity properties of each nucleus characterized by SiR‐DNA staining were calculated using imaging analysis software, Harmony. For the use of training, we classified cells into each phase of the cell cycle using the Fucci system. Training data (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 7500) and validation data (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 2500) were randomly sampled and the binary classification prediction models for G1, early S, and S/G2/M phases of the cell cycle were developed using four supervised machine learning algorithms. We selected random forest as the model with the best performance through 10‐fold cross‐validation; the accuracy rate was approximately 75%–87%. Regarding feature importance, variables expected to be biologically related to the cell cycle, for example, signal intensity and nuclear size, were highly ranked, suggesting the validity of the model. These results showed that the cell cycle can be predicted in cancer cells by simply exploiting the current prediction model using fluorescent images of DNA‐staining dye, and the model could be applied for the use of future ex vivo drug sensitivity diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":19948,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Research & Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140830398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although tuberculosis treatments are effective, 3.4%–13% are associated with significant adverse drug reactions, with drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) considered the most predominant. Among the first‐line antituberculosis drugs, isoniazid is the main drug responsible for the appearance of DILI. In liver, isoniazid (INH) is metabolized by N‐acetyltransferase‐2 (<jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic>) and cytochrome P450 2E1 (<jats:italic>CYP2E1</jats:italic>). Limited information exists on genetic risk factors associated with the presence of DILI to antituberculosis drugs in Latin America, and even less is known about these factors in the native and mestizo Peruvian population. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>CYP2E1</jats:italic> genotypes in native and mestizo population. An analytical cross‐sectional analysis was performed using genetic data from mestizo population in Lima and native participants from south of Peru. <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic> metabolizer was determined as fast, intermediate and slow, and <jats:italic>CYP2E1</jats:italic> genotypes were classified as c1/c1, c1/c2 and c2/c2, from molecular tests and bioinformatic analyses. Of the 472 participants, 36 and 6 <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic> haplotypes were identified in the mestizo and native population, respectively. In mestizo population, the most frequent <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic>*5B and <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic>*7B haplotypes were associated with DILI risk; while in natives, <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic>*5G and <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic>*13A haplotypes were associated with decreased risk of DILI. For <jats:italic>CYP2E1</jats:italic>, c1/c1 and c1/c2 genotypes are the most frequent in natives and mestizos, respectively. The linkage disequilibrium of <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic> single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was estimated, detecting a block between all SNPs natives. In addition, a block between rs1801280 and rs1799929 for <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic> was detected in mestizos. Despite the limitations of a secondary study, it was possible to report associations between <jats:italic>NAT2</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>CYP2E</jats:italic> alleles with Peruvian native and mestizo by prevalence ratios.

In this study, we examined the effects of cholesterol and cholic acid on the expression level and activity of CYP3A4 in hCYP3A mice that have a human CYP3A gene cluster and show human‐like regulation of the coding genes. A normal diet (ND, CE‐2), CE‐2 with 1% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid (HCD) or CE‐2 with 0.5% cholic acid was given to the mice. The plasma concentrations of cholesterol, cholic acid and its metabolites in HCD mice were higher than those in ND mice. In this condition, the expression levels of hepatic CYP3A4 and the hydroxylation activities of triazolam, a typical CYP3A4 substrate, in liver microsomes of HCD mice were higher than those in liver microsomes of ND mice. Furthermore, plasma concentrations of triazolam in HCD mice were lower than those in ND mice.

Therapeutic drug monitoring is therefore recommended, especially at treatment start or in circumstances that can influence sirolimus exposure. In this case report, we highlight the challenge of achieving therapeutic sirolimus concentrations and present pragmatic solutions with regimen adaptions, pharmacokinetic enhancement (use of a drug–drug interaction), concentration monitoring, and subsequent modeling of population pharmacokinetics to support treatment decisions. In a 69‐year‐old female patient with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, tacrolimus concentrations were stable until she developed cerebral toxoplasmosis with tonic–clonic seizures. During treatment of this acute infection, tacrolimus concentrations dropped to subtherapeutic levels and remained largely unaffected by dose increases. Only the simultaneous administration of the CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole and a shortening of the sirolimus dosing intervals to a (non‐approved) twice‐daily administration led to successful control of the concentrations, which ultimately even made a dose reduction possible. This intervention resulted in an increase of sirolimus mean trough concentration to 5.85 ng/mL, i.e., into the desired target range. Additionally, a higher ratio of sirolimus trough levels/daily dose from 26.9 to 109 ng/mL/mg/kg/day was achieved with the initiation of fluconazole. Thus, this case report describes the use of clinical pharmacological concepts and pharmacokinetic modeling to optimize treatment strategies in an individual patient. This strategy could be generalized to other CYP inhibitors and other treatment regimens.","PeriodicalId":19948,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Research & Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140626788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was undertaken to investigate the pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine after administration by a swab in the tonsillar fossae over 4 min after tonsillectomy. Eleven adult patients undergoing elective tonsillectomy were recruited. After removal of both tonsils, each of the two tonsillar fossae was covered with a swab moistened with 2 mL of bupivacaine 5 mg/mL, that is, a total of 20 mg bupivacaine. Blood samples were drawn after 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 min. Bupivacaine was analyzed with an ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method. The highest single measured bupivacaine serum concentration was 23.2 ng/mL and took place 10 min after drug administration. Mean (±SD) C<jats:sub>max</jats:sub> was 11.4 ± 6.0 ng/mL and mean t<jats:sub>max</jats:sub> was 11.3 ± 4.7 min. Mean t<jats:sub>1/2</jats:sub> was 31.6 ± 9.3 min.
