Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

The Protective Effect of Ethanolic Extract of Mentha spicata Against Irinotecan-Induced Mucositis in mice

Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2019
Irinotecan induced-mucositis is an inflammatory event of intestine caused by an increase in concentration of active metabolite 7­ethyl­10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN­38) in the intestine. Irinotecan must first be converted by a carboxylesterase (CES) to the

Risk factors for irinotecan-induced liver injury: a retrospective multicentre cross-sectional study in China

BMJ Open, 2023
Objectives The hepatotoxicity of irinotecan has been widely implicated in the treatment of multiple solid tumours. However, there are few studies on the influencing factors of irinotecan-induced hepatotoxicity.

Impact of extended insurance coverage on survival outcomes among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in Taiwan

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Predetermined treatment duration limits (PTDLs) are often used by Taiwan's National Health Insurance Administration to contain healthcare costs, but they may compromise patient outcomes. Therefore, we studied Taiwan's 2017 extension of the bevacizumab PTDL from 24 to 36 weeks in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to evaluate whether prolonged ...

From anthelmintic to neuro‐oncology: A systematic review of mebendazole repurposing for brain tumour therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Mebendazole (MBZ), a benzimidazole anthelmintic with established clinical use, has emerged as a repurposing candidate for primary brain tumours due to its multimodal anticancer actions and central nervous system penetrance. This systematic review synthesizes preclinical and clinical evidence evaluating MBZ's efficacy, mechanisms of action ...

Blood-brain barrier disruption and delivery of irinotecan in a rat model using a clinical transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound system

Scientific Reports, 2020
We investigated controlled blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption using a low-frequency clinical transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound (TcMRgFUS) device and evaluated enhanced delivery of irinotecan chemotherapy to the brain and a rat glioma model ...

UGT1A1 genotype testing for irinotecan: A guideline developed by the UK Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI‐PGx)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, is available as both non‐pegylated and pegylated formulations. The non‐pegylated formulation is licensed for use in advanced colorectal cancer either in combination with other agents or as monotherapy.
