Hepatitis D Virus Entry Inhibitors Based on Repurposing Intestinal Bile Acid Reabsorption Inhibitors

Viruses, 2021
Identification of Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) as high-affinity hepatic entry receptor for the Hepatitis B and D viruses (HBV/HDV) opened the field for target-based development of cell-entry inhibitors. However, most of the HBV/HDV

Upregulation of HBV transcription by sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide at the postentry step is inhibited by the entry inhibitor Myrcludex B

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2018
Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a functional receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV) entry. However, little is known regarding whether NTCP is involved in regulating the postentry steps of the HBV life cycle.

Solute Carrier NTCP Regulates Innate Antiviral Immune Responses Targeting Hepatitis C Virus Infection of Hepatocytes

Cell Reports, 2016
Summary: Chronic hepatitis B, C, and D virus (HBV, HCV, and HDV) infections are the leading causes of liver disease and cancer worldwide. Recently, the solute carrier and sodium taurocholate co-transporter NTCP has been identified as a receptor for HBV ...

Selective hepatitis B and D virus entry inhibitors from the group of pentacyclic lupane-type betulin-derived triterpenoids

Scientific Reports, 2020
Current treatment options against hepatitis B and D virus (HBV/HDV) infections have only limited curative effects. Identification of Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) as the high-affinity hepatic receptor for both viruses in 2012 ...

Genetically edited hepatic cells expressing the NTCP-S267F variant are resistant to hepatitis B virus infection

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
The sodium-dependent taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP)-S267F variant is known to be associated with a reduced risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and disease progression.

The introduction of video-enabled directly observed therapy (video-DOT) for patients with drug-resistant TB disease in Eswatini amid the COVID-19 pandemic – a retrospective cohort study

BMC Health Services Research
Background Video-enabled directly observed therapy (video-DOT) has been proposed as an additional option for treatment provision besides in-person DOT for patients with drug-resistant TB (DRTB) disease.

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 ...

Calnexin Depletion by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress During Cholestasis Inhibits the Na+‐Taurocholate Cotransporting Polypeptide

Hepatology Communications, 2018
Cholestasis‐induced accumulation of bile acids in the liver leads to farnesoid X receptor (FXR)‐mediated transcriptional down‐regulation of the bile acid importer Na+‐taurocholate cotransporting protein (NTCP) and to induction of endoplasmic reticulum ...

Bile acid metabolism and signaling in human and animal health: A One Health perspective

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Bile acids maintain host homeostasis through enterohepatic circulation, microbial transformation, and bile acid receptor signaling, thereby regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, intestinal barrier integrity, and immunity. These effects support human disease intervention and health‐oriented animal production, reducing drug dependence and residue ...

Functional Imaging for Identification of Functionally Critical Brain Regions to Spare in Glioma Radiation Therapy Planning: A Systematic Review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This review highlights the role of functional imaging in sparing cognitive brain regions during glioma radiotherapy. It shows promising dose reduction without compromising target coverage, but evidence remains limited, requiring standardisation and prospective validation.
