Synergistic drug combinations from electronic health records and gene expression. [PDF]

, 2016
ObjectiveUsing electronic health records (EHRs) and biomolecular data, we sought to discover drug pairs with synergistic repurposing potential. EHRs provide real-world treatment and outcome patterns, while complementary biomolecular data, including ...

Trust first, concerns second: An international vignette study of older adults' preferences towards deprescribing statins

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the attitudes and beliefs of older adults towards deprescribing statins in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, using an online, vignette‐based study. Presented with a hypothetical scenario in which a general practitioner advised stopping simvastatin, participants rated their level of agreement and ...

Simvastatin inhibits the immunosuppressive effects of endometrial cancer-associated mesenchymal stem cells through TGF-β2/SMAD2/3 signaling and reduces tumor growth

Scientific Reports
Simvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, was used in cardiovascular diseases and could decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and may have a repurposed role in cancer therapy.

Skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations to endurance exercise training are attainable in mice with simvastatin treatment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
We tested the hypothesis that a 6-week regimen of simvastatin would attenuate skeletal muscle adaptation to low-intensity exercise. Male C57BL/6J wildtype mice were subjected to 6-weeks of voluntary wheel running or normal cage activities with or without

Direct measurement of molecular mobility and crystallisation of amorphous pharmaceuticals using terahertz spectroscopy. [PDF]

, 2016
Despite much effort in the area, no comprehensive understanding of the formation and behaviour of amorphous solids has yet been achieved. This severely limits the industrial application of such materials, including drug delivery where, in principle ...

Repeated Intake of Grapefruit Juice Inhibits CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 while Lingonberry Powder Does Not Induce Major CYP Enzymes in Humans

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Grapefruit juice is a well‐established inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, but its effects on other CYP enzymes or organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are not fully characterized in humans. Recently, lingonberry powder was shown to induce murine CYP enzymes. We investigated the effects of lingonberry powder and grapefruit juice on seven
