We aimed to investigate the anti-fibrotic effect of a novel 11β-HSD1 inhibitor in a thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis mouse model. Mice were administered TAA for 19 weeks and treated with 11β-HSD1 inhibitor for the last 9 weeks. Treatment with 11β-HSD1 inhibitor significantly reduced fibrosis area, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase levels compared to the TAA-only group. Inhibition of 11β-HSD1 led to a decrease in intracellular cortisol levels, which suppressed the activation of hepatic stellate cells. RNA sequencing revealed significant downregulation of the Notch signaling pathway, including reduced expression of Notch ligands and receptors, as well as downstream genes. Furthermore, 11β-HSD1 inhibition enhanced NK cell-mediated immune responses, as indicated by the upregulation of NK cell-related genes and increased NK cell populations confirmed by mass cytometry. This increase in NK cell activity contributed to the clearance of activated HSCs and the attenuation of fibrosis. These findings suggest that 11β-HSD1 inhibition alleviates liver fibrosis through Notch pathway suppression and enhancement of NK cell-mediated immune responses. Our results support the therapeutic potential of a novel 11β-HSD1 inhibitor for treating liver fibrosis.","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143424898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Novel naphthalene-based diarylamide derivatives were subsequently designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activity against various Raf kinase isoforms and the melanoma A375 cell line. Among these, compound 9a, containing a difluoromethoxy group, demonstrated strong inhibitory activity across B-RafWT, B-RafV600E, and c-Raf.

Within TME, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by various cells and exhibit a dual role: moderate ROS levels promote tumor initiation and progression, whereas excessive levels induce cancer cell death, influencing the efficacy of anticancer therapies. Inflammasomes, cytosolic multiprotein complexes, are pivotal in multiple stages of tumorigenesis and play a crucial role in establishing the inflammatory TME. By releasing cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18, inflammasomes contribute to immune cell recruitment and sustain a chronic inflammatory state that supports tumor growth. ROS are critical regulators of inflammasome activation, with the impact of ROS-mediated activation differing across cell types, leading to distinct influences on tumor progression and therapeutic responses. This review explores how ROS drive inflammasome activation in various TME-associated cells and the reciprocal ROS generation induced by inflammasomes, examining their multifaceted impact on tumorigenesis and therapeutic efficacy. By elucidating the complex interplay between ROS and inflammasomes in TME, we provide insights into potential therapeutic approaches that could modulate cancer progression and enhance treatment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 and CYP2C19 are primarily involved in the hepatic metabolism of gliclazide. The two CYP isozymes are highly polymorphic, and their genetic polymorphisms are known to significantly impact the pharmacokinetics of gliclazide. In the present study, the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed using data from subjects whose pharmacokinetic parameters were influenced by the genetic polymorphisms of the CYP metabolic enzymes. All predicted plasma concentration-time profiles generated by the model showed visual agreement with the observed data, and the pharmacokinetic results were within the twofold error range. Individual simulation results showed additional metrics: average fold error (- 0.19 to 0.07), geometric mean fold error (1.13-1.56), and mean relative deviation (1.18-1.58) for AUC, Cmax, T1/2, Tmax, CL/F, and Vd values. These results met the standard evaluation criteria. The validation across a total of 8 studies and 7 races also satisfied the twofold error range for AUC, Cmax, and T1/2. Therefore, variations in gliclazide exposure according to individuals' CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 genotypes were properly captured through PBPK modeling in this study. This PBPK model may allow us to predict the gliclazide pharmacokinetics of patients with genetic polymorphisms in CYP2C9 and CYPC19 under various conditions, ultimately contributing to the realization of individualized drug therapy.","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Animal models play a crucial role in understanding the underlying mechanisms of these disorders and developing effective treatments. Various species, including rodents, non-human primates, and fruit flies, are utilized to replicate specific aspects of human neurological conditions. However, selecting the ideal animal model requires careful consideration of its proximity to human disease conditions and its ability to mimic disease pathobiology and pharmacological responses. An Animal Model Quality Assessment (AMQA) tool has been developed to facilitate this selection process, focusing on assessing models based on their similarity to human conditions and disease pathobiology. Therefore, integrating intrinsic and extrinsic factors linked to the disease into the study's objectives aids in constructing a biological information matrix for comparing disease progression between the animal model and human disease.
