Redox homeostasis in human renal cells that had been treated with amphotericin B in combination with selected 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives
CONCLUSIONS: The results confirmed that thiadiazoles can stimulate the RPTEC cells to defend against the oxidative stress that is generated by AmB. In addition, together with the previously demonstrated synergistic antifungal activity, and low nephrotoxicity, these compounds have the potential to be used in new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of fungal infections.PMID:38587587 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00592-7 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative diseases, which occur when neurons begin to deteriorate, affect millions of people worldwide. These age-related disorders are becoming more common partly because the elderly population has increased in recent years. While no treatments are accessible, every year an increasing number of therapeutic and supportive options become available. Various substances that may have neuroprotective effects are currently being researched. One of them is apelin. This review aims to illustrate the results of research on the neuropro...

Novel method of measurement of in vitro drug uptake in OATP1B3 overexpressing cells in the presence of dextran
CONCLUSIONS: We evaluated the effect of dextran on the uptake of known substrates using OATP1B3 overexpressed in the HEK293 cell line, and we suggest that its impact on drug concentrations in liver cells may differ from the traditional role of plasma proteins and albumin.PMID:38530582 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00583-8 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

Ginsenoside Rg5 as an anticancer drug: a comprehensive review on mechanisms, structure-activity relationship, and prospects for clinical advancement
This article aimed to comprehensively review the anticancer properties of Rg5, focusing on action mechanisms, structure-activity relationship (SAR), and pharmacokinetics attributes. The in vitro and in vivo activities of Rg5 have been proven against several cancer types, such as breast, liver, lung, bone, and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The modulation of multiple signaling pathways critical for cancer growth and survival mediates these activities. Nevertheless, human clinical studies of Rg5 have not been addressed before, and there is still considerable ambiguity regarding its pharmacokinetics properties. In addition, a...
