Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of diclofenac against levofloxacin-resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates; emphasizing repurposing of diclofenac

Iranian Journal of Microbiology
Background and Objectives: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic pathogen causing nosocomial infections. Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory drug that is considered a non-antibiotic drug.

Photochemical characteristics of diclofenac and its photodegradation of inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrins

Química Nova, 2012
Diclofenac is one of most frequently detected compounds in the water cycle. In this work, the effect of initial concentration, liquid inclusion complexes with β-Cyclodextrins (β-CDs) on the photodegradation of diclofenac were studied.

Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan/LDH Composite Membranes for Drug Delivery Application

Membranes, 2023
In this study, composite membranes based on chitosan (CS), layered double hydroxide (LDH), and diclofenac were prepared via dispersing of LDH and diclofenac (DCF) in the chitosan matrix for gradual delivery of diclofenac sodium.

The impact of medication shortages on paediatric care: A retrospective impact analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Medication shortages are a growing global concern, with potentially greater consequences in paediatric patients because of the limited availability of safe, evidence‐based and appropriately formulated medication. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of medication shortages on paediatric patients by assessing the suitability and safety of ...

Diclofenac inhibits tumor growth in a murine model of pancreatic cancer by modulation of VEGF levels and arginase activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Diclofenac is one of the oldest anti-inflammatory drugs in use. In addition to its inhibition of cyclooxygenases (COX), diclofenac potently inhibits phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), thus yielding a broad anti-inflammatory effect.

A Stable Isopterin Mimic of a Potent Bacterial Stimulant of T Cells

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A microbial metabolite covalently binds immunological protein MR1 to potently activate specific lymphocytes called MAIT cells, but it is too unstable for biological applications. Here, using synthesis, assays, protein crystallography, and computer modelling, we report a water‐stable analogue that activates reporter cells expressing the MAIT T cell ...

Integrated assessment of rifampicin‐mediated induction of transporters and drug‐metabolizing enzymes in a long‐term human liver tissue chip system

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Rifampicin is a prototypical clinical inducer used in drug–drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, the clinical relevance and predictability of rifampicin‐mediated hepatic transporter induction remain poorly defined. Conventional hepatocyte culture models fail to capture clinically relevant regulation of transporters and drug‐metabolizing enzymes ...

Clinical Significance of Acute Kidney Injury in Idiosyncratic Drug‐Induced Liver Injury: A Multicentric Propensity Scores Matched Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Clinical significance of acute kidney injury in idiosyncratic drug‐induced liver injury: a multicentric propensity scores matched study. Evidence about the role of acute kidney injury (AKI) in idiosyncratic drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) is still scarce.

Inhibition of COX-2 expression by topical diclofenac enhanced radiation sensitivity via enhancement of TRAIL in human prostate adenocarcinoma xenograft model

BMC Urology, 2013
Background COX-2 inhibitors have an antitumor potential and have been verified by many researchers. Treatment of cancer cells with external stressors such as irradiation can stimulate the over-expression of COX-2 and possibly confer radiation resistance.
