Expert Opin Drug Saf 2024; 23:1093-1107. [PMID: 39212296 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2024.2399074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many of the first line medications for the treatment of active and latent M. tuberculosis are hepatoxic and cause a spectrum of anti-tuberculosis drug induced liver injury (ATLI), including acute liver failure (ALF). Despite advances in recognition of and prevention of ATLI, isoniazid remains one of the leading causes of DILI as well as drug-induced ALF. AREAS COVERED A literature search of the incidence, risk factors, current societal guidelines, monitoring, and prophylactic medication usage in ATLI was performed using PubMed and institutional websites. Relevant articles from 1972 to 2024 were included in this review. EXPERT OPINION Current societal guidelines regarding ATLI monitoring are mixed, but many recommend liver enzyme testing of high-risk populations. We recommend liver test monitoring for all patients on multi-drug therapy as well as those on isoniazid therapy. Precision medicine practices, such as N-acetyltransferase-2 polymorphism genotyping, are thought to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of ATLI in high-risk populations. However, broader implementation is currently cost prohibitive. Hepatoprotective drugs are not currently recommended, although we do recognize their potential. In patients who develop ATLI but require ongoing anti-TB treatment, strategies to restart the same or less hepatotoxic regimens are currently being followed.

Scopoletin a potential phytochemical therapy for antitubercular treatment drug induced liver injury (ATT-DILI) model in Wistar rats. JOURNAL OF COMPLEMENTARY & INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE 2023; 20:797-803. [PMID: 37732506 DOI: 10.1515/jcim-2023-0168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The hepatoprotective properties of scopoletin have been explored in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver injury but not in drug-induced liver injury (DILI) scenarios. Only N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) has proven efficacy in DILI treatment. Accordingly, we conducted a study to assess the hepatoprotective action of scopoletin in the anti-tubercular treatment (ATT)-DILI model in Wistar rats, if any. METHODS A total of 36 rats were evaluated, with six in each group. A 36-day ATT at 100 mg/kg dose for isoniazid, 300 mg/kg for rifampicin and 700 mg/kg for pyrazinamide were fed to induce hepatotoxicity in rats. Group I and II-VI received normal saline and ATT, respectively. Oral scopoletin (1,5 and 10 mg/kg) and NAC 150 mg/kg were administered in groups III, IV, V and VI, respectively, once daily for the last 15 days of the experiment. LFT monitoring was performed at baseline, days 21, 28, and 36. Rats were sacrificed for the histopathology examination. RESULTS Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin levels were significantly increased in group II (receiving ATT) compared to normal control on day 28 and day 36 (p<0.05). All three doses of scopoletin and NAC groups led to the resolution of AST, ALT, ALP, and bilirubin changes induced by ATT medications effect beginning by day 28 and persisting on day 36 (p<0.01). An insignificant effect was observed on albumin and total protein levels. The effect was confirmed with antioxidants and histopathology analysis. CONCLUSIONS The study confirms the hepatoprotective efficacy of scopoletin in a more robust commonly encountered liver injury etiology.

Abstract
Anti-tuberculosis drug induced liver injury (Anti-TB DILI) is the most common adverse events (AEs) necessitating therapy interruption but there is no preventing regimen. This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of herbs/alternative medicines for preventing anti-TB DILI. Relevant articles were identified through a systematic search in 5 international databases from inception till March 2022. All randomized controlled trials (RCT) assessing the effects of herbal or alternative medicines against anti-TB DILI were included. The network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to synthesize the evidence for preventing hepatotoxicity using a random-effects model. A total of 3423 patients from 14 RCTs were included. The NMA indicated that supplementation of Turmeric plus Tinospora cordifolia (RR 0.07; 95% CI 0.02 to 0.28), and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) (RR 0.09; 95% CI 0.01 to 0.75) significantly reduced the incidence of anti-TB DILI compared with placebo. In addition, poly herbal product significantly reduced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (MD - 21.80; 95% CI - 33.80 to - 9.80) and total bilirubin (Tbil) compared with placebo (MD - 0.51; 95% CI - 0.76 to - 0.26). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of AEs in any intervention. In conclusion, Turmeric plus Tinospora cordifolia, NAC and poly-herbal product may provide benefit for preventing anti-TB DILI in TB patients. However, these findings are based on a small number of studies. Additional studies are warranted to confirm the findings.

JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND BIOALLIED SCIENCES 2023; 15:139-145. [PMID: 37705856 PMCID: PMC10496850 DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_320_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2) polymorphism testing could not see the light of success as a biomarker tool in tuberculosis management. Additionally, the antitubercular treatment (ATT) drug's reintroduction regimen variations exist because of the scarcity of robust preclinical evidence on ATT drug metabolism. Objective The experiment was planned to understand the pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior of isoniazid and acetylisoniazid (AcINH) in a Wistar rat model of acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and preclinical drug-induced liver injury (DILI) model induced with CCl4 + anti-Tuberculosis (TB) drugs together. Materials and Methods Thirty rats were used for the experiment and were divided into five groups. All rats were administered a single 0.5 ml/kg CCl4 intraperitoneal injection on day 0 to induce an animal model of DILI. Group I rats received CCl4 alone. Groups II-V were started on additional gavage feedings of isoniazid (H) alone, H plus rifampicin (R), H plus pyrazinamide (Z), and H, R, and Z together, respectively, daily for 21 days subsequently. Isoniazid and AcINH PK assessment was accomplished on day 20 of continuous once-daily dosing. Liver function test (LFT) monitoring was done at baseline on days 1, 7, and 21. On the last day of experiments, all experimental rats were sacrificed. Results Three-week ATT administration sustained the CCl4-induced LFT changes. Area under the curve (AUC) values for isoniazid and AcINH were found to be 2.24 and 1.69 times higher in the H + R group compared with the CCl4 + H group, respectively (P < 0.05). Isoniazid and AcINH maximum concentration (Cmax) reached the highest, while isoniazid clearance reached the lowest in the H + R group. AcINH AUC increased by double in the CCl4 + Isoniazid+Rifampicin+Pyrazinamide (HRZ) group compared with the CCl4 + H group (P < 0.05). Biochemical, histological, and antioxidant changes were consistent with the new liver injury model's development. Conclusion Rifampicin almost doubles up the isoniazid and AcINH exposure, in presence if DILI.

Abstract
Serious side effects of chemotherapy drugs greatly limited the anticancer performance, while targeted drug delivery could improve the therapeutic effect and reduce side effects. In this work, biodegradable hydrogel was fabricated from pectin hydrazide (pec-H) and oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) for localized Silibinin delivery in lung adenocarcinoma treatment. The self-healing pec-H/DCMC hydrogel showed blood compatibility and cell compatibility both in vitro and in vivo, and could be degraded by enzymes. The hydrogel also formed fast fit for injectable applications and showed sustained drug release characteristic sensitive to pH based on acylhydrzone bond cross-linked networks. The Silibinin, as a specific lung cancer inhibiting drug targets TMEM16A ion channel, was loaded into the pec-H/DCMC hydrogel to treat the lung cancer in mice model. The results showed that the hydrogel loaded Silibinin significantly enhanced the anti-tumor efficiency in vivo and greatly reduced the toxicity of the Silibinin. Based on the dual effect of improving efficacy and reducing side effects, the pec-H/DCMC hydrogel with Silibinin loading have broad application prospects to inhibit lung tumor growth in clinic.

Abstract
Herbal-induced liver injury (HILI) is an important and increasingly concerning cause of liver toxicity, and this study presents recent updates to the literature. An extensive literature review was conducted encompassing September 2019 through March 2021. Studies with clinically significant findings were analyzed and included in this review. We emphasized those studies that provided a causality assessment methodology, such as Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method scores. Our review includes reports of individual herbals, including Garcinia cambogia, green tea extract, kratom as well as classes such as performance enhancing supplements, Traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine and herbal contamination. Newly described herbals include ashwagandha, boldo, skyfruit, and 'Thermo gun'. Several studies discussing data from national registries, including the United States Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) Network, Spanish DILI Registry, and Latin American DILI Network were incorporated. There has also been a continued interest in hepatoprotection, with promising use of herbals to counter hepatotoxicity from anti-tubercular medications. We also elucidated the current legal conversation surrounding use of herbals by presenting updates from the Federal Drug Administration. The highlights of the literature over the past year indicate interest in HILI that will continue as the supplement industry in the United States grows.

Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:643489. [PMID: 33935737 PMCID: PMC8079988 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.643489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Effective anticancer therapy can be achieved by identifying novel tumor-specific drug targets and screening of new drugs. Recently, TMEM16A has been identified to be overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma, and inhibitors of TMEM16A showed obvious antitumor efficacy. Methods: YFP fluorescence quenching and whole-cell patch clamp experiments were used to explore the inhibitory effect of silibinin on TMEM16A. Molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis were performed to confirm the binding sites of silibinin and TMEM16A. MTT assay, wound healing assay, and annexin-V assay were used to detect the effect of silibinin on cancer cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. shRNA was transfected into LA795 cells to knock down the expression of endogenous TMEM16A. Tumor xenograft mice combined with Western blot experiments reveal the inhibitory effect and mechanism of silibinin in vivo. Results: Silibinin concentration dependently inhibited the whole-cell current of TMEM16A with an IC50 of 30.90 ± 2.10 μM. The putative binding sites of silibinin in TMEM16A were K384, R515, and R535. The proliferation and migration of LA795 cells were downregulated by silibinin, and the inhibition effect can be abolished by knockdown of the endogenous TMEM16A. Further, silibinin was injected to tumor xenograft mice which exhibited significant antitumor activity without weight loss. Finally, Western blotting results showed the mechanism of silibinin inhibiting lung adenocarcinoma was through apoptosis and downregulation of cyclin D1. Conclusion: Silibinin is a novel TMEM16A inhibitor, and it can be used as a lead compound for the development of lung adenocarcinoma therapy drugs.
