Journal: Synthesis of ?-lactam-zidovudine pronucleosides as potential selective narrow-spectrum antibacterial agents. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 3, 2025 Enzymatic and microbiological evaluations were performed to evaluate the synthesized pronucleosides, yielding new insights into molecular recognition of ?-lactamase enzymes. This approach would potentially allow a targeted and selective eradication of antibiotic-resistant ?-lactamase-producing (opportunistic) pathogens, as the inactive prodrug is unable to harm the commensal microbial flora.

Venetoclax Alone or in Combination Shows Promising Activity in Preclinical Models and Clinical Cases of Relapsed/Refractory North American Adult T-Cell Leukemia Lymphoma (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_5210; Venetoclax has shown activity in other T-cell malignancies, alone or in combination with hypomethylating agents (HMA), AZT (Zidovudine) with Interferon-alpha has been the backbone of acute ATLL treatment for the past three decades...Results : Preclinical : We observed that both the J-ATLL and NA-ATLL cells are sensitive to BCL-2 inhibitors (Venetoclax & Sonrotoclax) with IC50s in the 1-10uM range...To determine synergy between drugs we tested the combination of Decitabine (hypomethylating agent)-Venetoclax as well as between Biktarvy-Venetoclax...TP53 mutated patients had poorer responses. Given the encouraging preclinical and clinical activity of this agent, a prospective clinical trial is being developed using these agents.

Journal: Factors associated with skeletal muscle mass in middle-aged men living with HIV. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 2, 2024 These factors, along with BMI, could be used conveniently to predict low muscle mass. Furthermore, the association between the oedema index and muscle mass suggests that observing signs of oedema may indicate a risk of low muscle mass in PLWH.

The biochemical and clinical combination led to quick analysis of the correct gene (CYP51A1), which led to the diagnosis of lanosterol 14?- demethylase deficiency.

Subcutaneous administration of (NPhe)4GGGGk(AZT)y(p)-OH to Sprague-Dawley rats resulted in zidovudine blood plasma concentrations within the 90% maximal inhibitory concentration (IC90) range (30-130 ng mL-1) for 35 days.

Journal: Evaluating Hepatotoxicity: A Comparative Analysis of New Generation versus Historical Antiretroviral Agents. (Pubmed Central) - May 28, 2024 (1) Background: Since the advent of zidovudine in 1987, antiretroviral therapy has undergone significant evolution, marked by the introduction of 34 antiretroviral drugs and 24 fixed-dose combinations...(4) The findings suggest that the latest-generation antiretroviral medications may offer a safer profile in terms of hepatotoxicity compared to older therapies, with potential benefits for long-term liver health. This study underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and further research to optimize ART strategies, ensuring improved patient outcomes and quality of life for individuals living with HIV.

The aim of this paper is to gather from the latest available literature up-to-date information on the course, pathophysiology, and therapeutic options of drug-induced myopathies, to systematize the knowledge of drug-induced myopathies and to draw the attention of internists to the fact that these clinical issues are an important therapeutic problem.
