Investigating the heat sensitivity of frequently used excipients with varying particle sizes
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2023 Sep 14:S0939-6411(23)00243-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.09.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring tablet manufacturing an increase in the production temperature can lead to an alteration of tablet characteristics. In the present study, the influence of the initial particle size on the tableting behavior of ductile polymers upon temperature rise was investigated. Different grades of the respective materials were tableted at temperatures ranging from 22-70 °C. Alterations in tableting behavior were affected by the initial particle size. Smaller particle sizes led to a more pronounced decrease in...

Review of the impact of the FDA's Fast Track Designation on biotechnology companies' share prices
This study examines the effect of the FDA's Fast Track Designation (FTD) on biotech company share prices. Using an event-study approach on 25 FTD announcements between June 2019 and June 2020, notable short- and long-term share price hikes were observed, with a 5-day cumulative average abnormal returns of 21.59%, 30-day at 38.34%, 1-year at 76.64% and 3-year at 111.37% against the XBI benchmark. These surges surpass prior research findings, indicating stronger investor reactions. The role of the COVID-19 pandemic as a confounder is discussed. Although the sample size is limited, the results offer valuable insights for inve...

Interplay Between Estrogen, Kynurenine, and AHR Pathways: An Immunosuppressive Axis with Therapeutic Potential for Breast Cancer Treatment
Biochem Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 14:115804. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115804. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women worldwide. Estrogen exposure via endogenous and exogenous sources during a lifetime, together with environmental exposure to estrogenic compounds, represent the most significant risk factor for breast cancer development. As breast tumors establish, multiple pathways are deregulated. Among them is the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling pathway. AHR, a ligand-activated transcription factor associated with the metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons...

Restoring prefrontal cortical excitation-inhibition balance with cannabidiol ameliorates neurobehavioral abnormalities in a mouse model of neurodevelopmental disorders
Neuropharmacology. 2023 Sep 14:109715. doi: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2023.109715. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMaternal immune activation (MIA) resulting from viral infections during pregnancy is linked to increased rates of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. However, the mechanisms underlying MIA-induced neurobehavioral abnormalities remain unclear. Here, we used a poly (I:C)-induced MIA mouse model to demonstrate the presence of multiple behavioral deficits in male offspring. Through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we identified significant upregulation of genes involved in axonogenesis, synaptogenesis, and glutamatergic ...

Targeting the opioid remifentanil: Protective effects and molecular mechanisms against organ ischemia-reperfusion injury
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Sep 14;167:115472. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115472. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOpioids are widely used in clinical practice by activating opioid receptors (OPRs), but their clinical application is limited by a series of side effects. Researchers have been making tremendous efforts to promote the development and application of opioids. Fortunately, recent studies have identified the additional effects of opioids in addition to anesthesia and analgesia, particularly in terms of organ protection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, with unique advantages. I/R injury in vital organs not onl...

Contribution and therapeutic value of mitophagy in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury after cardiac arrest
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Sep 14;167:115492. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115492. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiopulmonary resuscitation and related life support technologies have improved substantially in recent years; however, mortality and disability rates from cardiac arrest (CA) remain high and are closely associated with the high incidence of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), which is explained by a "double-hit" model (i.e., resulting from both ischemia and reperfusion). Mitochondria are important power plants in the cell and participate in various biochemical processes, such as cell differentiation and...

Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Sep 14;167:115508. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115508. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a widespread ailment that significantly impacts global health. It is characterized by high prevalence, poor prognosis, and substantial healthcare costs, making it a major public health concern. The current clinical treatments for CKD are not entirely satisfactory, leading to a high demand for alternative therapeutic options. Chinese herbal medicine, with its long history, diverse varieties, and proven efficacy, offers a promising avenue for exploration. One such Chinese herbal medici...

Nuclear factor kappa B expression in non-small cell lung cancer
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Sep 14;167:115459. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115459. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this mini-review, we discuss the role of NF-κB, a proinflammatory transcription factor, in the expression of genes involved in inflammation, proliferation, and apoptosis pathways, and link it with prognosis of various human cancers, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We and others have shown that NF-κB activity can be impacted by post-translational S-glutathionylation through reversible formation of a mixed disulfide bond between its cysteine residues and glutathione (GSH). Clinical data analysis...

Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Sep 14;167:115470. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115470. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women of childbearing age, with ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) as the clinical features. Androgen excess, insulin resistance, obesity, adipose tissue dysfunction, ovulatory dysfunction, and gut microbiota dysbiosis are the main pathological features and pathogenesis of PCOS and are related to systemic chronic low-grade inflammation and chronic ovarian tissue inflammation in PC...

Cancer cell-intrinsic PD-1: Its role in malignant progression and immunotherapy
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Sep 14;167:115514. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115514. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProgrammed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), also called CD279, is coded by the PDCD1 gene and is constitutively expressed on the surface of immune cells. As a receptor and immune checkpoint, PD-1 can bind to programmed death ligand-1/programmed death ligand-2 (PD-L1/PD-L2) in tumor cells, leading to tumor immune evasion. Anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 are important components in tumor immune therapy. PD-1 is also expressed as an intrinsic variant (iPD-1) in cancer cells where it plays important roles in malignant progression...

Current progress in engineered and nano-engineered mesenchymal stem cells for cancer: From mechanisms to therapy
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Sep 14;167:115505. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115505. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as self-renewing multipotent stromal cells, have been considered promising agents for cancer treatment. A large number of studies have demonstrated the valuable properties of MSC-based treatment, such as low immunogenicity and intrinsic tumor-trophic migratory properties. To enhance the potency of MSCs for therapeutic purposes, equipping MSCs with targeted delivery functions using genetic engineering is highly beneficial. Genetically engineered MSCs can express tumor suppressor agents...
