A prospect on the use of antiviral drugs to control local outbreaks of COVID-19

BMC Medicine, 2020
Background Current outbreaks of COVID-19 are threatening the health care systems of several countries around the world. Control measures, based on isolation, contact tracing, and quarantine, can decrease and delay the burden of the ongoing epidemic. With

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Solid Dispersion Technology for Improving the Solubility of Antiviral Drugs

Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research, 2023
Most drugs, including antiviral drugs, show low solubility in water, which affects dissolution, bioavailability, and therapeutic effectiveness. Therefore, many antiviral drugs are given in very large doses.

Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Mechanistic insights into post-translational modifications in hepatic fibrosis: pathogenic roles and therapeutic potentials

Journal of Translational Medicine
Hepatic fibrosis, a critical progression in liver disease, has been widely studied. While the activation of stellate cells and the accumulation of extracellular matrix components are recognized as key mechanisms, additional research is necessary to ...
