Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are routinely administered antibiotics that have demonstrated an increased propensity to cause major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We conducted a systematic review aimed to investigate the association between FQ usage and the risk of MACE. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library from inception to September 2023 to retrieve studies comparing FQ administration with placebo and reporting the occurrence of MACE. Relevant studies that explored the occurrence of MACE, defined as "acute myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, arrhythmia, or heart failure" with FQ usage were eligible for inclusion. Four studies with a total of 42,808 patients were included. Levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and gatifloxacin were observed to have an increased propensity to cause MACE, particularly arrhythmias, whereas ciprofloxacin was associated with the lowest risk of causing MACE. Despite the methodological diversity in the included studies, this systematic review uncovered a consistent trend of heightened likelihood of MACE with FQ administration across studies, suggesting that elevated serum concentrations of some FQs may correlate with higher risks of MACE development. This systematic review emphasizes the need for cautious administration of FQs, particularly in patients with a preexisting cardiovascular condition. Routine cardiac monitoring using electrocardiograms is warranted for patients on high doses of FQs to preemptively detect the development of MACE, particularly arrhythmias.

Abstract
In this study, we identified a novel double-strand RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus in Pyricularia oryzae, designated "Magnaporthe oryzae partitivirus 4" (MoPV4). The genome of MoPV4 consists of a dsRNA-1 segment encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) and a dsRNA-2 segment encoding a capsid protein (CP). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that MoPV4 belongs to the genus Gammapartitivirus within family Partitiviridae. The particles of MoPV4 are isometric with a diameter of about 32.4 nm. Three-dimensional structure predictions indicated that the RdRP of MoPV4 forms a classical right-handed conformation, while the CP has a reclining-V shape.

QT Interval Prolongation with One or More QT-Prolonging Agents Used as Part of a Multidrug Regimen for Rifampicin-Resistant Tuberculosis Treatment: Findings from Two Pediatric Studies. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2023; 67:e0144822.

Abstract
Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) involves treatment with many drugs that can prolong the QT interval; this risk may increase when multiple QT-prolonging drugs are used together. We assessed QT interval prolongation in children with RR-TB receiving one or more QT-prolonging drugs. Data were obtained from two prospective observational studies in Cape Town, South Africa. Electrocardiograms were performed before and after drug administration of clofazimine (CFZ), levofloxacin (LFX), moxifloxacin (MFX), bedaquiline (BDQ), and delamanid. The change in Fridericia-corrected QT (QTcF) was modeled. Drug and other covariate effects were quantified. A total of 88 children with a median (2.5th-to-97.5th range) age of 3.9 (0.5 to 15.7) years were included, of whom 55 (62.5%) were under 5 years of age. A QTcF interval of >450 ms was observed in 7 patient-visits: regimens were CFZ+MFX (n = 3), CFZ+BDQ+LFX (n = 2), CFZ alone (n = 1), and MFX alone (n = 1). There were no events with a QTcF interval of >500 ms. In a multivariate analysis, CFZ+MFX was associated with a 13.0-ms increase in change in QTcF (P < 0.001) and in maximum QTcF (P = 0.0166) compared to those when other MFX- or LFX-based regimens were used. In conclusion, we found a low risk of QTcF interval prolongation in children with RR-TB who received at least one QT-prolonging drug. Greater increases in maximum QTcF and ΔQTcF were observed when MFX and CFZ were used together. Future studies characterizing exposure-QTcF responses in children will be helpful to ensure safety with higher doses if required for effective treatment of RR-TB.

Abstract
Background Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) continues to be a global threat. Moxifloxacin is one of the components of the shorter treatment regimen which is suspected to increase the risk of QT prolongation, although it is also likely to be the most effective against DR-TB. A study to evaluate the correlation between the concentration of moxifloxacin and QTc interval in RR-TB patients who received shorter regimens is needed. Methods This was an observational study in 2 groups of RR-TB patients on shorter treatment regimens (intensive phase and continuation phase), contain moxifloxacin with body weight-adjusted dose. Blood samples were collected at 2 h after taking the 48th-hour dose and 1 h before taking the 72nd-hour dose. Results Forty-five RR-TB patients were included in this study. At 2 h after taking the 48th-hour dose, the mean of QTc interval in intensive phase and continuation phase was 444.38 ms vs. 467.94 ms, p = 0.026, while mean of moxifloxacin concentration in intensive phase and continuation phase was 4.3 µg/mL vs. 4.61 µg/mL, p = 0.686). At 1 h before taking the 72nd-hour dose, both moxifloxacin concentration and QTc interval in intensive phase and continuation showed no significant difference with p-value of 0.610 and 0.325, respectively. At 2 h after taking the 48th-dose, moxifloxacin concentration did not correlate with QTc interval, both in intensive phase (p = 0.576) and in continuation phase (p = 0.691). At 1 h before taking the 72nd-hour dose, moxifloxacin concentration also did not correlate with QTc interval in intensive phase (p = 0.531) and continuation phase (p = 0.209). Conclusions Our study found that moxifloxacin concentration did not correlate with QTc interval, which indicates the safe use of moxifloxacin on QTc interval. In addition to close monitoring of QTc interval, the clinicians should also consider other variables which potentially increase risk for QTc prolongation in DR-TB patients who received shorter treatment regimens.

Effect of hyperglycaemia in combination with moxifloxacin on cardiac repolarization in male and female patients with type I diabetes. Clin Res Cardiol 2022; 111:1147-1160. [PMID: 35596784 PMCID: PMC9525410 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-022-02037-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Background Patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus have been shown to be at a two to ten-fold higher risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) (Svane et al., Curr Cardiol 2020; 22:112) than the general population, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Hyperglycaemia is a recognised cause of QTc prolongation; a state patients with type 1 diabetes are more prone to, potentially increasing their risk of ventricular arrhythmia. Understanding the QTc prolongation effect of both hyperglycaemia and the concomitant additive risk of commonly prescribed QTc-prolonging drugs such as Moxifloxacin may help to elucidate the mechanism of sudden cardiac death in this cohort. This single-blinded, placebo-controlled study investigated the extent to which hyperglycaemia prolongs the QTc in controlled conditions, and the potential additive risk of QTc-prolonging medications. Methods 21 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus were enrolled to a placebo-controlled crossover study at a single clinical trials unit. Patients underwent thorough QTc assessment throughout the study. A ‘hyperglycaemic clamp’ of oral and intravenous glucose was administered with a target blood glucose of > 25 mM and maintained for 2 h on day 1 and day 3, alongside placebo on day 1 and moxifloxacin on day 3. Day 2 served as a control day between the two active treatment days. Thorough QTc assessment was conducted at matched time points over 3 days, and regular blood sampling was undertaken at matched time intervals for glucose levels and moxifloxacin exposure. Results Concentration-effect modelling showed that acute hyperglycaemia prolonged the QTc interval in female and male volunteers with type 1 diabetes by a peak mean increase of 13 ms at 2 h. Peak mean QTc intervals after the administration of intravenous Moxifloxacin during the hyperglycaemic state were increased by a further 9 ms at 2 h, to 22 ms across the entire study population. Regression analysis suggested this additional increase was additive, not exponential. Hyperglycaemia was associated with a significantly greater mean QTc-prolonging effect in females, but the mean peak increase with the addition of moxifloxacin was the same for males and females. This apparent sex difference was likely due to the exclusive use of basal insulin in the male patients, which provided a low level of exogenous insulin during the study assessments thereby mitigating the effects of hyperglycaemia on QTc. This effect was partially overcome by Moxifloxacin administration, suggesting both hyperglycaemia and moxifloxacin prolong QTc by different mechanisms, based on subinterval analysis. Conclusions Hyperglycaemia was found to be a significant cause of QTc prolongation and the additional effect of a QTc-prolonging positive control (moxifloxacin) was found to be additive. Given the high risk of sudden cardiac death in type 1 diabetes mellitus, extra caution should be exercised when prescribing any medication in this cohort for QTc effects, and further research needs to be undertaken to elucidate the exact mechanism underlying this finding and explore the potential prescribing risk in diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To elucidate the relationship between antofloxacin (AT) plasma concentration and QT interval prolongation, compare the effects of different correction and analytical methods on conclusions, and estimate the possible false-positive rate in thorough QT (TQT) studies. METHODS Twenty-four healthy Chinese volunteers from a four-period crossover TQT study orally received 200 mg/d AT, 400 mg/d AT, 400 mg/d moxifloxacin, and a placebo in a random order for 5 d for each. QT interval samples were collected on d 1 and d 5. Population models were established describing the relationship between QT and AT concentration. The yardstick from ICH E14 guidelines was used to measure the effect of drugs on QT prolongation both in biostatistical and modeling analyses. A possible false-positive rate was estimated by constructing a 1000-time bootstrap to obtain the rate-of-difference values between d 1 and d 5 over 5 ms in the placebo period. RESULTS In the modeling analysis, the QT prolongation estimate at the mean maximal concentration of AT (4.51 μg/mL) was 3.84 ms, and its upper bound of the one-sided 95 % CI was 7.04 ms, which showed a negative effect on QT interval prolongation. The estimation for the false-positive rate was 31 % in this study. CONCLUSION The effect of AT on QT interval prolongation may not have been significant at the dosage of 400 mg. Baseline and placebo adjustments were necessary in TQT studies. Population modeling has demonstrated clear superiority in making full use of data to accurately analyze the relationship between drugs and QT intervals.

Limited Sampling Strategies Using Linear Regression and the Bayesian Approach for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Moxifloxacin in Tuberculosis Patients. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2019; 63:AAC.00384-19.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of moxifloxacin is recommended to improve the response to tuberculosis treatment and reduce acquired drug resistance. Limited sampling strategies (LSSs) are able to reduce the burden of TDM by using a small number of appropriately timed samples to estimate the parameter of interest, the area under the concentration-time curve. This study aimed to develop LSSs for moxifloxacin alone (MFX) and together with rifampin (MFX+RIF) in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models were developed for MFX (n = 77) and MFX+RIF (n = 24). In addition, LSSs using Bayesian approach and multiple linear regression were developed. Jackknife analysis was used for internal validation of the popPK models and multiple linear regression LSSs. Clinically feasible LSSs (one to three samples, 6-h timespan postdose, and 1-h interval) were tested. Moxifloxacin exposure was slightly underestimated in the one-compartment models of MFX (mean -5.1%, standard error [SE] 0.8%) and MFX+RIF (mean -10%, SE 2.5%). The Bayesian LSSs for MFX and MFX+RIF (both 0 and 6 h) slightly underestimated drug exposure (MFX mean -4.8%, SE 1.3%; MFX+RIF mean -5.5%, SE 3.1%). The multiple linear regression LSS for MFX (0 and 4 h) and MFX+RIF (1 and 6 h), showed mean overestimations of 0.2% (SE 1.3%) and 0.9% (SE 2.1%), respectively. LSSs were successfully developed using the Bayesian approach (MFX and MFX+RIF; 0 and 6 h) and multiple linear regression (MFX, 0 and 4 h; MFX+RIF, 1 and 6 h). These LSSs can be implemented in clinical practice to facilitate TDM of moxifloxacin in TB patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in QT, QTc, and Tp-e intervals and Tp-e/QT ratio on surface electrocardiogram (ECG) signals during anaesthesia induction using propofol or sevoflurane after preoperative cefuroxime infusion. Some 120 cases of gynaecological patients are randomly divided into propofol (P) and sevoflurane (S) groups (n=60). After cefuroxime (1.5 g) was infused in the two groups of patients, propofol target controlled infusion (TCI) was conducted in the P group for 5 min to realise a plasma concentration of 4 μg/ml while patients in the S group inhaled anaesthesia by infusing 1.3 MAC sevoflurane for 6 min. The 12-lead ECGs were separately collected before infusing cefuroxime (T1), after infusing cefuroxime (T2), and after infusing propofol or sevoflurane (T3) to measure QT and Tp-e intervals, calculate QTc and Tp-e/QT, and record MAP and HR. Finally, we demonstrated that QT, QTc, and Tp-e intervals and Tp-e/QT ratio had no change (P > 0.05) after cefuroxime infusion in the two groups of patients compared with that before infusing antibiotics. Moreover, after conducting preoperative cefuroxime infusion, using propofol and sevoflurane had no influence on Tp-e interval, but sevoflurane can significantly prolong QT and QTc intervals (P < 0.05).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Moxifloxacin is widely used for the treatment of a number of infectious diseases because of its favorable pharmacological profile and high clinical success rate. However, it is often criticized for its higher risk of QTc interval prolongation (QTIP) and torsades de pointes (TdP). AREAS COVERED A review of published literature on moxifloxacin-related QTIP and TdP. Readers will be provided with a comprehensive overview of the prevalence, cellular mechanism, risk factors, and magnitude of QTIP of moxifloxacin. EXPERT OPINION In healthy subjects, moxifloxacin prolongs the QTc interval by 11.5-19.5 ms, it binds at the Tyr652 residue in the S6 pore domain of the human ether a-go-go gene related potassium channel. Considerable QTIP (30-60 ms) have also been reported in some patients, for instance the incidence of QTIP (30-60 ms) in elderly pneumonia patients was 15.5%. Moxifloxacin-induced QTIP may be of little clinical importance in healthy individuals. However, marked QTIP (>60 ms) and TdP have been reported in high-risk patients (patients who have multiple QT prolonging risk factors). Patients must be thoroughly assessed prior to the use of moxifloxacin and high-risk patients must be identified using risk assessment tools to ensure safe use of moxifloxacin and to safeguard patients' health.

Abstract
Inhibition of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) K+ channel by drugs leads to QT prolongation on the electrocardiogram and can result in serious cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, screening of drugs on hERG is mandatory during the drug development process. Patch clamp electrophysiology in a defined physiological saline solution (PSS) represents the standard method for assaying drug effects on the channel. To make the assay more translatable to clinical studies, we have conducted whole-cell patch clamping of hERG using pure human serum as the extracellular medium. Pure human serum had little effect on the hERG channel waveform or the current-voltage relationship when compared to PSS. hERG current recordings were highly stable in serum at room temperature, but prolonged recordings at the physiological temperature required prior heat inactivation of the serum. Compared to PSS, the IC50 values, conducted at room temperature, of the classic hERG blocking drugs cisapride, moxifloxacin, and terfenadine were shifted to the right by an extent predicted by their known plasma protein binding, but we did not detect any differences in IC50 s between male and female serum. Total plasma levels of these drugs associated with clinical QT prolongation corresponded to small (<15%) inhibition of hERG current in pure serum suggesting that minor inhibition of the channel leads to observable pharmacodynamic effects. Conducting whole-cell patch clamping of hERG in human serum has the potential to make the assay more translatable to clinical studies and improve its predictive value for safety testing.
