Bumetanide Enhances Phenobarbital Efficacy in a Rat Model of Hypoxic Neonatal Seizures [PDF]
Neonatal seizures can be refractory to conventional anticonvulsants, and this may in part be due to a developmental increase in expression of the neuronal Na(+)-K(+)-2 Cl(-) cotransporter, NKCC1, and consequent paradoxical excitatory actions of GABAA ...

Multiple blood-brain barrier transport mechanisms limit bumetanide accumulation, and therapeutic potential, in the mammalian brain [PDF]
There is accumulating evidence that bumetanide, which has been used over decades as a potent loop diuretic, also exerts effects on brain disorders, including autism, neonatal seizures, and epilepsy, which are not related to its effects on the kidney but ...

Bumetanide in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease (BumxAD): A Phase IIa Clinical Trial [PDF]
Abstract Background Bumetanide is a potent diuretic administered orally and is FDA approved for the treatment of edema and hypertension. Recently, repurposing Bumetanide as an Alzheimer`s disease (AD) medication was proposed based on data that showed Bumetanide “flipped” the APOE genotype‐dependent transcriptomic signatures in AD mouse and cell culture

Outpatient loop diuretic use and the effect of natriuresis-guided diuretic therapy: A prespecified sub-analysis of the PUSH-AHF study. [PDF]
The effects of natriuresis‐guided diuretic therapy in patients with acute decompensated heart failure, depending on outpatient loop diuretic use. HR, hazard ratio; NG, natriuresis‐guided; SOC, standard of care. Aims Diuretic resistance is frequently observed in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), specifically in those with chronic ...

Sildenafil is a candidate drug for Alzheimer’s disease: Mechanism‐of‐action observation in patient iPSC‐derived brain organoids and a 5xFAD mouse model [PDF]
Abstract Background We previously identified Sildenafil (a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor) as a candidate drug in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) using an in silico network medicine approach. However, the clinically meaningful effect size and mechanism‐of‐action of sildenafil in AD treatment is still unclear.

Euglycemic Ketoacidosis Induced by Dapagliflozin in a Non-Diabetic Patient With Cardiac Amyloidosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Dapagliflozin, though beneficial in heart failure, can rarely cause euglycemic ketoacidosis even in non‐diabetic patients. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for metabolic acidosis in patients on SGLT2 inhibitors presenting with unexplained illness, regardless of blood glucose level.

Neonatal sevoflurane exposure enhances stress-related neurological susceptibility via NKCC1 modulation [PDF]
Neonatal exposure to sevoflurane has been associated with neurodevelopmental impairments. However, the mechanisms underlying increased susceptibility to stress-related neurological disorders remain unclear.

Structural basis for human NKCC1 inhibition by loop diuretic drugs [PDF]
Na+–K+–Cl− cotransporters functions as an anion importers, regulating trans-epithelial chloride secretion, cell volume, and renal salt reabsorption. Loop diuretics, including furosemide, bumetanide, and torsemide, antagonize both NKCC1 and NKCC2, and are
