The Effect of a High-Fat Meal on the Pharmacokinetics of Ixazomib, an Oral Proteasome Inhibitor, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma.

Ixazomib is the first oral proteasome inhibitor to be investigated in the clinic. This clinical study assessed whether the pharmacokinetics of ixazomib would be altered if administered after a high-calorie, high-fat meal. In a 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study design, adult patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma received a 4-mg oral dose of ixazomib as immediate-release capsules on day 1 without food (fasted, administered following an overnight fast) or with food (fed, following consumption of a high-calorie, high-fat meal), followed by another dose on day 15 in the alternate food

The Redox Paradox of Natural Supplements in Cancer: A Narrative Review to Guide Clinical Practice.

Supplements are widely perceived as safe and beneficial; yet in oncology, this assumption is questionable. Clinical trials over the past few decades have often produced disappointing results, raising a critical question: are these agents used correctly, or could they inadvertently cause harm? This review examines supplements frequently used in cancer care-such as oral vitamin C, berberine, N-acetylcysteine, vitamin D, vitamin E, melatonin, polyphenols, alpha-lipoic acid, selenium, and coenzyme Q10-which can act as tumor suppressors or promoters depending on dose, route, and disease stage. We e

Biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic attributes to drive nanoformulations of small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Buoyed by the discovery of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (smTKIs), significant impact has been made in cancer chemotherapeutics. However, some of these agents still encounter off-target toxicities and suboptimal efficacies due to their inferior biopharmaceutical and/or pharmacokinetic properties. Almost all of these molecules exhibit significant inter- and intra-patient variations in plasma concentration-time profiles. Thus, therapeutic drug monitoring, dose adjustments and precision medicine are being contemplated by clinicians. Complex formulations or nanoformulation-based drug d

Метаболизм триптофана в области диагностических и внегигиенических заболеваний: механизмы, клинические последствия и терапевтические перспективы.

Метаболизм триптофана (Trp) лежит на пересечении питания, микробиотики кишечника, мукосовой иммунологии и системных процессов воспаления, которые играют ключевую роль во многих желудочно-кишечных и внекишечных заболеваниях. Трап представляет собой важнейшую аминокислоту, получаемую с помощью рациона питания. Помимо своей роли в синтезе белка, он метаболизируется по трем основным направлениям: кинуреньиновый путь, серотонин/мелатонин, и микробный метаболизм в кишечнике, ведущий к индолу и связанным с ним производным. Кинуренинский путь представляет собой основной путь деградации Trp и тесно свя

Repositioning of drugs for Parkinson's disease and pharmaceutical nanotechnology tools for their optimization.

Parkinson's disease (PD) significantly affects patients' quality of life and represents a high economic burden for health systems. Given the lack of safe and effective treatments for PD, drug repositioning seeks to offer new medication alternatives, reducing research time and costs compared to the traditional drug development strategy. This review aimed to collect evidence of drugs proposed as candidates to be reused in PD and identify those with the potential to be reformulated into nanocarriers to optimize future repositioning trials. We conducted a detailed search in PubMed, Web of Science,

Intestinal barrier functions in hematologic and oncologic diseases.

The intestinal barrier is a complex structure that not only regulates the influx of luminal contents into the systemic circulation but is also involved in immune, microbial, and metabolic homeostasis. Evidence implicating disruption in intestinal barrier functions in the development of many systemic diseases, ranging from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis to autism, or systemic complications of intestinal disorders has increased rapidly in recent years, raising the possibility of the intestinal barrier as a potential target for therapeutic intervention to alter the course and mitigate the complica

Hypercalcemia of Malignancy.

Case studyA 60-year-old man initially presented with pain in the right upper quadrant in October 2010. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen pelvis completed at that time showed a mass at the junction of the body and tail of the pancreas and multiple large liver lesions. A CT-guided liver biopsy revealed low-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. The patient was initially started on systemic treatment with sunitinib (Sutent) and octreotide. He developed intolerable side effects, including nausea and migraine. Therapy was discontinued in October 2011, when a CT scan revealed evidence of disea

Brazilian Nutritional Consensus in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Adults.

The nutritional status of patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplant is considered an independent risk factor, which may influence on quality of life and tolerance to the proposed treatment. The impairment of nutritional status during hematopoietic stem cell transplant occurs mainly due to the adverse effects resulting from conditioning to which the patient is subjected. Therefore, adequate nutritional evaluation and follow-up during hematopoietic stem cell transplant are essential. To emphasize the importance of nutritional status and body composition during treatment, as well a

Severe Pernicious Anemia: A Case Report.

Pernicious anemia is an infrequent condition and a recognized cause of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is an autoimmune disease that impairs the absorption of vitamin B12, leading to a significant reduction in its uptake. Clinical manifestations are often subtle and non-specific, yet potentially debilitating, which may delay diagnosis. However, with early recognition in primary care and appropriate replacement therapy, patients can recover their quality of life. Fatigue and asthenia are common complaints in primary care, highlighting the importance of careful clinical evaluation in the presence of

Osteoporosis Drug Treatment Update.

The Brazilian population is aging and the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases, including osteoporosis, is increasing. The diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis have made significant advances in the last decade. The orthopedist and traumatologist can no longer be detained only in the surgical treatment of osteoporotic fracture. It is extremely important that we know: 1) what risk factors to evaluate, and the Fracture Risk Assesment Tool (FRAX) can be used; 2) which complementary tests should be requested, such as densitometry, radiography of the spine and pelvis, blood and urine tests

Experimental Drugs for Chemotherapy- and Cancer-Related Anemia.

Anemia in cancer patients is a relevant condition complicating the course of the neoplastic disease. Overall, we distinguish the anemia which arises under chemotherapy as pure adverse event of the toxic effects of the drugs used, and the anemia induced by the tumour-associated inflammation, oxidative stress, and systemic metabolic changes, which can be worsened by the concomitant anticancer treatments. This more properly cancer-related anemia depends on several overlapping mechanism, including impaired erythropoiesis and functional iron deficiency, which make its treatment more difficult. Stan

… The choice of the administration route should depend on the onset and grade of ID and anemia as well as the likelihood of gastrointestinal absorption. 53 Oral iron is administered as iron salts or iron carbohydrates, and the bivalent ferrous form shows better bioavailability. … It is important to remember that FID is associated with limited gastrointestinal absorption; thus, oral iron is not applicable. In some cases, IV iron administration could force metabolic defects and partially support erythropoiesis. …

Chemistry and Pharmacology of Fluorinated Drugs Approved by the FDA (2016-2022).

Fluorine is characterized by high electronegativity and small atomic size, which provide this molecule with the unique property of augmenting the potency, selectivity, metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetics of drugs. Fluorine (F) substitution has been extensively explored in drug research as a means of improving biological activity and enhancing chemical or metabolic stability. Selective F substitution onto a therapeutic or diagnostic drug candidate can enhance several pharmacokinetic and physicochemical properties such as metabolic stability and membrane permeation. The increased binding a

Therapeutic drug monitoring for cytotoxic anticancer drugs: Principles and evidence-based practices.

Cytotoxic drugs are highly efficacious and also have low therapeutic index. A great degree of caution needs to be exercised in their usage. To optimize the efficacy these drugs need to be given at maximum tolerated dose which leads to significant amount of toxicity to the patient. The fine balance between efficacy and safety is the key to the success of cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. However, it is possibly more rewarding to obtain that balance for this class drugs as the frequency of drug related toxicities are higher compared to the other therapeutic class and are potentially life threatening
