The progress of contemporary pharmacology is deeply linked to pharmacokinetics (PK) and its quantitative exploration through PK modeling. By offering a robust mathematical framework to describe and predict drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, a...
Background/Objectives: Fungal keratitis (FK) is a current challenge in ophthalmology due to its association with severe visual impairment and the limitations of current antifungal therapies. We aim to evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oil...
Background: Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are microorganisms with variable pathogenicity, which can cause different clinical forms of mycobacterioses. They can form structured communities at the liquid-air interface and adhere to animate and ina...
Introduction: Bacterial infections, especially those caused by multidrug-resistant strains, remain a major health concern. This study investigates 4-chlorobenzyl p-coumarate, assessing its antibacterial mechanism, pharmacokinetic profile, and potenti...
Levosimendan, a calcium-sensitizing inodilator, has emerged as a promising adjunctive therapy in patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Its pharmacodynamic profile, combining positive inotropy with vasodilat...
The global spread of Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has emerged as a major public health concern, with the 2022 outbreak underscoring the urgent need for effective antiviral therapies. Current treatment options are limited because no drugs specifically targe...
Background/Objectives: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and cognitive impairments due to dopaminergic neuron loss. The neurotoxin MPTP is commonly used to model PD, as it selectively ta...
Background: Tetrabenazine, a VMAT2 inhibitor used for hyperkinetic disorders, shows considerable pharmacokinetic variability due to extensive first-pass metabolism. Standardization of clinical trial conditions, including posture, may reduce variabili...
Background/Objectives: Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) is a pivotal signaling protein implicated in various hematological malignancies and inflammatory disorders, making it a compelling target for therapeutic intervention. Methods: In this study, we employed a...
Background/Objectives: Neuroblastoma is a pediatric embryonal tumor of the autonomic nervous system, characterized by high heterogeneity. Recent research has explored the therapeutic potential of retinoic acid and selenium derivatives as antiprolifer...
Background/Objectives: Fouquieria splendens Engelm. is a medicinal plant traditionally used in North America for treating metabolic disorders; however, its antihyperglycemic properties and safety profiles remain poorly studied. We investigated the ph...
Peripheral nerve injuries can lead to significant functional impairments, and treatment options remain limited. Galantamine, widely used for cognitive disorders, has shown potential effects on the peripheral nervous system, making it a candidate for...
Background/Objectives: The antiseizure effects of cannabidiol (CBD) were extensively studied when used as a monotherapy. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding its use in combination with levetiracetam (LEV). Methods: This study explored th...
Introduction: Linezolid is a reserve antibiotic used to treat infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria with resistance genes. In critically ill patients, high intra- and interindividual variability has been observed, prompting the search for alter...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed by the incomplete reduction of oxygen and play a crucial role in both physiological function and pathological process, being controlled by enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems. However, excessive RO...
Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) following a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a critical complication driven by imbalances between vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. This review explores the bidirectional interplay between nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1...
Background/Objective: Predicting pharmacological response in cancer remains a key challenge in precision oncology due to intertumoral heterogeneity and the complexity of drug–gene interactions. While machine learning models using multi-omics da...
Background/Objectives: Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is among the most commonly diagnosed cancers in both men and women. Although CRC mortality is generally decreasing, new therapeutic options are needed for unresponsive subgroups of CRC patients. Metho...
In the original publication [1], during the revisions and restructuring of the manuscript, the following references were inadvertently removed by the authors and were not cited:103 [...]
Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a key regulator of inflammatory responses, and its biological activity is dependent on proteolytic processing by the tumor necrosis factor-α-converting enzyme (TACE), also known as AD...
