Oral Apolipoprotein A-I Mimetic D-4F Lowers HDL-Inflammatory Index in High-Risk Patients: A First-in-Human Multiple-Dose, Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]

, 2017
A single dose of the apolipoprotein (apo)A-I mimetic peptide D-4F rendered high-density lipoprotein (HDL) less inflammatory, motivating the first multiple-dose study. We aimed to assess safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of daily,

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Population Pharmacokinetic Study of Benznidazole in Pediatric Chagas Disease Suggests Efficacy despite Lower Plasma Concentrations than in Adults [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction:Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, can lead to long term cardiac morbidity. Treatment of children with benznidazole is effective, but no pediatric pharmacokinetics data are available and clinical pharmacology ...

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...

Dose–response relationships between individual nonaspirin nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NANSAIDs) and serious upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a meta‐analysis based on individual patient data [PDF]

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2002
Aims To define by amalgamation of data obtained in contemporaneous case‐control studies, the risks associated with individual nonaspirin nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NANSAIDs) according to doses used. Methods Meta‐analysis of individual patient data from three retrospective case‐control studies ...

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Multi-output prediction of dose–response curves enables drug repositioning and biomarker discovery

npj Precision Oncology
Drug response prediction is hampered by uncertainty in the measures of response and selection of doses. In this study, we propose a probabilistic multi-output model to simultaneously predict all dose–responses and uncover their biomarkers.

Assessing the similarity of dose response and target doses in two non-overlapping subgroups [PDF]

, 2017
We consider two problems that are attracting increasing attention in clinical dose finding studies. First, we assess the similarity of two non-linear regression models for two non-overlapping subgroups of patients over a restricted covariate space.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...
