Review, Journal: BCG and Alternative Therapies to BCG Therapy for Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 27, 2024 Moreover, recent logistic issues with BCG production caused a worldwide BCG shortage, re-sparking interest in alternative BCG treatments including mitomycin C, sequential gemcitabine with docetaxel, and others. This review encompasses both the historic and current role of BCG in the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, revisiting BCG alternative therapies and reviewing the novel therapeutics that were approved for the BCG-unresponsive stage or are under active investigation.

Journal: Characterization of anti-drug antibody dynamics using a bivariate mixed hidden-markov model by nonlinear-mixed effects approach. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 26, 2024 A mixed hidden-Markov model (MHMM) was developed to characterize the underlying (hidden) formation of ADA against the biologic, using certolizumab pegol (CZP), as a test drug...Individual state sequences obtained using a Viterbi algorithm suggested that the model was able to determine the start of ADA production for each individual, being a more assay-independent methodology than traditional population PK. The model serves as a basis for identification of covariates influencing the ADA formation, and thus has the potential to identify aspects that minimize its impact on PK and/or efficacy.

Biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs) like infliximab, rituximab, etanercept, adalimumab, tocilizumab, certolizumab pegol, and abatacept have greater effectiveness with fewer adverse effects in comparison to non-biologic DMARDs...The main focus of this review article is to highlight the potential role of nanotechnology in the drug delivery of DMARDs for increasing solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability for the improved management of RA. This article also focusses on the different aspects of nanoparticles like their applications in biologics, biocompatibility, body clearance, scalability, drug loading, and stability issues.

The adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of achieving PASI100 (M12) for the IL-17A/RA cohort, was 1.3 (1.02,1.71), 2.0 (1.24,2.61) and 0.9 (0.77,1.14) compared to TNF-?, IL-12/23 p40, and IL-23 p19 cohorts respectively. This analysis highlighted the short- and long-term effectiveness and durability of anti-IL-17A/RA biologics compared to other biologic classes.

Journal: Nonspecific Inhibition of IL6 Family Cytokine Signalling by Soluble gp130.

This proposes global or modular inhibition of gp130 as a therapeutic approach for treating human disease.

Journal: Streamlined Stereoselective Entry to (-)-Quinagolide and to 3-Substituted Octahydrobenzo[g]-Quinolines. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 28, 2024 The key steps involved are a copper-catalyzed regioselective arylation of (S)-epichlorohydrin with 1,6-dimethoxynaphthalene and a diastereoselective trans-reduction of a cyclic enamine intermediate. The possibility to use both enantiomers of epichlorohydrin and the diastereodivergency found in the reduction process paves the way for a general preparation also in the nonracemic form of chiral trans-fused 3-substituted octahydrobenzo[g]quinolines that are privileged structures in medicinal chemistry.
