[PMID: 39062497 DOI: 10.3390/biom14070783] [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: 05/26/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Tetracyclines constitute a unique class of antibiotic agents, widely prescribed for both community and hospital infections due to their broad spectrum of activity. Acting by disrupting protein synthesis through tight binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, their interference is typically reversible, rendering them bacteriostatic in action. Resistance to tetracyclines has primarily been associated with changes in pump efflux or ribosomal protection mechanisms. To address this challenge, tetracycline molecules have been chemically modified, resulting in the development of third-generation tetracyclines. These novel tetracyclines offer significant advantages in treating infections, whether used alone or in combination therapies, especially in hospital settings. Beyond their conventional antimicrobial properties, research has highlighted their potential non-antibiotic properties, including their impact on immunomodulation and malignancy. This review will focus on third-generation tetracyclines, namely tigecycline, eravacycline, and omadacycline. We will delve into their mechanisms of action and resistance, while also evaluating their pros and cons over time. Additionally, we will explore their therapeutic potential, analyzing their primary indications of prescription, potential future uses, and non-antibiotic features. This review aims to provide valuable insights into the clinical applications of third-generation tetracyclines, thereby enhancing understanding and guiding optimal clinical use.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder, affecting more than 15% of patients in the hospital. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is the most frequent cause of hypotonic hyponatremia, mediated by nonosmotic release of arginine vasopressin (AVP, previously known as antidiuretic hormone), which acts on the renal V2 receptors to promote water retention. There are a variety of underlying causes of SIAD, including malignancy, pulmonary pathology, and central nervous system pathology. In clinical practice, the etiology of hyponatremia is frequently multifactorial and the management approach may need to evolve during treatment of a single episode. It is therefore important to regularly reassess clinical status and biochemistry, while remaining alert to potential underlying etiological factors that may become more apparent during the course of treatment. In the absence of severe symptoms requiring urgent intervention, fluid restriction (FR) is widely endorsed as the first-line treatment for SIAD in current guidelines, but there is considerable controversy regarding second-line therapy in instances where FR is unsuccessful, which occurs in around half of cases. We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and differential diagnosis of SIAD, and summarize recent evidence for therapeutic options beyond FR, with a focus on tolvaptan, urea, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Hyponatremia, a common complication in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), can arise from various causes such as cancer itself, its treatment, paraneoplastic syndrome-induced SIADH secretion (syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion), and brain metastasis. While fluid restriction is the initial approach, refractory cases require pharmacological intervention in managing hyponatremia secondary to SIADH. This case report presents doxycycline as an alternative treatment option for a patient with refractory hyponatremia and SCLC with brain metastases, resulting in improved serum sodium levels. However, the use of doxycycline was associated with acute pancreatitis, prompting its discontinuation without establishing a definitive causal relationship. This case report highlights the importance of alternative treatments in resource-limited settings and emphasizes personalized care for hyponatremia in SCLC patients. Doxycycline can be an option, but safety and effectiveness require further study.

Abstract
Hyponatremia (serum sodium <135 mEq/L) is a frequent electrolyte abnormality complicating the clinical care of hospitalized patients. Hyponatremia has been associated with an increased risk of mortality. Hyponatremia can be seen in patients with euvolemia, hypovolemia, or hypervolemia. Evaluation of hyponatremia relies on clinical assessment and estimation of serum sodium, urine electrolytes, and serum and urine osmolality in addition to other case-specific laboratory parameters. In addition, point-of-care ultrasonography is an important adjunct to physical assessment in estimation of volume status. Understanding the pathophysiology of the underlying process can lead to a timely diagnosis and appropriate management of hyponatremia.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disturbance seen in clinical practice, affecting up to 30% of acute hospital admissions, and is associated with significant adverse clinical outcomes. Acute or severe symptomatic hyponatremia carries a high risk of neurological morbidity and mortality. In contrast, chronic hyponatremia is associated with significant morbidity including increased risk of falls, osteoporosis, fractures, gait instability, and cognitive decline; prolonged hospital admissions; and etiology-specific increase in mortality. In this Approach to the Patient, we review and compare the current recommendations, guidelines, and literature for diagnosis and treatment options for both acute and chronic hyponatremia, illustrated by 2 case studies. Particular focus is concentrated on the diagnosis and management of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis. An understanding of the pathophysiology of hyponatremia, along with a synthesis of the duration of hyponatremia, biochemical severity, symptomatology, and blood volume status, forms the structure to guide the appropriate and timely management of hyponatremia. We present 2 illustrative cases that represent common presentations with hyponatremia and discuss the approach to management of these and other causes of hyponatremia.

Abstract
Although there are existing vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), new COVID-19 cases are increasing due to low immunization coverage and the emergence of new variants. For this reason, new drugs to treat and prevent severe COVID-19 are needed. Here, we provide four different FDA-approved drugs against SARS-CoV-2 proteins involved in the entry and replication process, aiming to identify potential drugs to treat COVID-19. We use the main protease (Mpro), the spike glycoprotein (S protein), and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) as protein targets for anti- SARS-CoV-2 drugs. In our constructed database, we selected different drugs against each target (Mpro, S protein, and RdRp) based on their common interactions with relevant residues involved in viral entry at the host cell and replication. Furthermore, their stability inside the binding pocket, as well as their predicted binding-free energy, allow us to provide new insight into the possible drug repurposing of viomycin (interacting with Mpro) due to its interactions with key residues, such as Asn 143, Glu 166, and Gln 189 at the same time as hesperidin (interacting with the S protein) is interacting with residues Tyr 449, Ser 494, and Thr 500, keeping inside the predicted binding pocket, as well as interacting with residues in different variants of concern. Finally, we also suggest nystatin and elvitegravir (interacting with RdRp) as possible drugs due to their stability within the predicted pocket along the simulation and their interaction with key residues, such as Asp 760, Asp 761, and Asp 618. Altogether our results provide new knowledge about the possible mechanism of the inhibition of viomycin, hesperidin, elvitegravir, and nystatin to inhibit the viral life cycle of SARS-CoV-2 and some of its variants of concern (VOC). Additionally, some iodide-based contrast agents were also found to bind the S protein strongly, i.e., iohexol (−58.99 Kcal/mol), iotrolan (−76.19 Kcal/mol), and ioxilan (−62.37 Kcal/mol). Despite the information we report here as the possible strong interaction between these contrast agents and the SARS-CoV-2′s S protein, Mpro, and RdRp, we believe that further investigation, including chemical modifications in their structures, are needed for COVID-19 treatment.

Abstract
Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte abnormality encountered in clinical practice; despite this, the work-up and management of hyponatraemia remain suboptimal and varies among different specialist groups. The majority of data comparing hyponatraemia treatments have been observational, up until recently. The past two years have seen the publication of several randomised control trials investigating hyponatraemia treatments, both for chronic and acute hyponatraemia. In this article, we aim to provide a background to the physiology, cause and impact of hyponatraemia and summarise the most recent data on treatments for acute and chronic hyponatraemia, highlighting their efficacy, tolerability and adverse effects.

Abstract
Hyponatraemia is a common electrolyte abnormality seen in a wide range of oncological and haematological malignancies and confers poor performance status, prolonged hospital admission and reduced overall survival, in patients with cancer. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is the commonest cause of hyponatraemia in malignancy and is characterised by clinical euvolaemia, low plasma osmolality and concentrated urine, with normal renal, adrenal and thyroid function. Causes of SIAD include ectopic production of vasopressin (AVP) from an underlying tumour, cancer treatments, nausea and pain. Cortisol deficiency is an important differential in the assessment of hyponatraemia, as it has an identical biochemical pattern to SIAD and is easily treatable. This is particularly relevant with the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, which can cause hypophysitis and adrenalitis, leading to cortisol deficiency. Guidelines on the management of acute, symptomatic hyponatraemia recommend 100 mL bolus of 3% saline with careful monitoring of the serum sodium to prevent overcorrection. In cases of chronic hyponatraemia, fluid restriction is recommended as first-line treatment; however, this is frequently not feasible in patients with cancer and has been shown to have limited efficacy. Vasopressin-2 receptor antagonists (vaptans) may be preferable, as they effectively increase sodium levels in SIAD and do not require fluid restriction. Active management of hyponatraemia is increasingly recognised as an important component of oncological management; correction of hyponatraemia is associated with shorter hospital stay and prolonged survival. The awareness of the impact of hyponatraemia and the positive benefits of active restoration of normonatraemia remain challenging in oncology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polydipsia is defined at the intake of excessive fluid (>3 L daily). Psychogenic polydipsia (PPD) presents without an identifiable medical cause and is often seen in patients with diagnoses of schizophrenia, OCD, anxiety, alcohol use disorder, and other psychotic disorders. The purpose of this systematic review is to assess the therapeutic effect of various non-antipsychotic medications on patients with a stable psychotic illness and concurrent PPD. METHODS A systematic search was conducted using the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE with Full Text, CINAHL complete, Cochrane database of systematic reviews, Cochrane methodology register, MasterFILE Premier, APA PsychArticles, APA PsychInfo, APA PsycBooks, APA PsycTests, TRIP, Nursing and Allied Health. The quality of each retained study was assessed using appropriate risk of bias tools based on study design. RESULTS The initial search resulted in 1422 articles from which 22 articles were included for qualitative synthesis. Study designs ranged from case reports to double blind, placebo controlled randomized trials and was interpreted uniquely based on study design. Acetazolamide was effective in improving some PPD outcomes. Fluoxetine at high doses was effective in reducing fluid intake and polydipsia. Other medications included in this review performed equivocally for reduction of numerous parameters evaluating PPD. CONCLUSION No one drug appeared to be the most efficacious; however, some did show promise in specific populations. Those in need of pharmacotherapeutic options for PPD may consider one of the included agents to assist with co-morbid state. Further high-quality research is needed to provide better treatment guidance for PPD.

Abstract
CONTEXT In patients with cancer, hyponatremia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and can delay systemic therapy. OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of low-dose tolvaptan (7.5 mg) for hospitalized, adult patients with hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD), and coexisting malignancy. METHODS Retrospective evaluation in a tertiary cancer center. RESULTS Fifty-five patients with mean baseline serum sodium (sNa) 117.9 ± 4.6 mmol/L were included. In total, 90.9% had severe hyponatremia (sNa < 125 mmol/L). Mean age was 65.1 ± 9.3 years. Following an initial dose of tolvaptan 7.5 mg, median (range) increase in sNa observed at 24 hours was 9 (1-19) mmol/L. Within 1 week, 39 patients (70.9%) reached sNa ≥ 130 mmol/L and 48 (87.3%) had sNa rise of ≥5 mmol/L within 48 hours. No severe adverse events were reported. Thirty-three (60%) and 17 (30.9%) patients experienced sNa rise of ≥8 and ≥12 mmol/L/24 hours, respectively. The rate of sNa correction in the first 24 hours was significantly higher among participants that continued fluid restriction after tolvaptan administration (median [quantiles]: 14 [9-16] versus 8 [5-11] mmol/L, P = .036). Moreover, in the over-rapid correction cohort (≥12 mmol/L/24 hours) demeclocycline was appropriately discontinued only in 60% compared with 91.7% of the remaining participants (P = .047). Lower creatinine was predictive of higher sNa correction rate within 24 hours (P = .01). CONCLUSION In the largest series to date, although low-dose tolvaptan was demonstrated to be effective in correcting hyponatremia due to SIAD in cancer patients, a significant proportion experienced over-rapid correction. Concurrent administration of demeclocycline and/or fluid restriction must be avoided due to the increased risk of over-rapid correction.

Abstract
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is a common cause of hyponatremia, and many cases represent adverse reactions to drugs that alter ion channel conductance within the peptidergic nerve terminals of the posterior pituitary. The frequency of drug-induced SIADH increases with age; as many as 20% of patients residing in nursing homes have serum sodium levels below 135 mEq/L. Mild hyponatremia is associated with cognitive changes, gait instability, and falls. Severe hyponatremia is associated with cerebral edema, seizures, permanent disability, and/or death. Although pharmacogenetic tests are now being deployed for some drugs capable of causing SIADH (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, and opioid analgesics), the implementation of these tests has been based upon the prior known association of these drugs with other serious adverse drug reactions (e.g., electrocardiographic abnormalities). Work is needed in large observational cohorts to quantify the strength of association between pharmacogene variants and drug-induced SIADH so that decision support can be developed to identify patients at high risk.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health concern, though the constant development of new antibiotics. The combination of high-throughput screening and drug repurposing is an effective way to develop new therapeutic uses of drugs. In this study, we screened a drug library consisting of 1,573 drugs already approved by the Food and Drug Administration and 903 drugs from the natural product library, to identify antimicrobials against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A high-throughput screening assay based on microtiter plate was used to screen 39 drugs that inhibit the planktonic or biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa while most of them are antibiotics. The antimicrobial activities of these drugs were evaluated by phenotypic analysis. Further studies showed the combined therapy of tetracycline antibiotics demeclocycline hydrochloride (DMCT) and the novel antimicrobial peptide SAAP-148 has an effective synergistic antibacterial effect on P. aeruginosa PAO1 and P. aeruginosa ATCC27853. Moreover, the time-kill curve assay and murine model of cutaneous abscesses further confirmed the synergistic effect. In addition, the combination of DMCT and SAAP-148 has the potential to combat clinically isolated multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa strains. Our results clearly indicate that DMCT and SAAP-148 combined therapy could be an effective method to combat MDR P. aeruginosa-related infections.

Electrooxidation of tetracycline antibiotic demeclocycline at unmodified boron-doped diamond electrode and its enhancement determination in surfactant-containing media. Talanta 2020; 223:121695. [PMID: 33303147 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, for the first time, the study of voltammetric determination of tetracycline antibiotic demeclocycline was conducted. The oxidation of compound was investigated using a commercially available boron-doped diamond electrode pretreated electrochemically (anodic and subsequent cathodic). Addition of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to the demeclocycline-containing electrolyte solution at pH 2.0 and 9.0, respectively, was found to improve the sensitivity of the stripping voltammetric measurements. Employing square-wave stripping mode (after 30 s accumulation at open-circuit condition) in Britton-Robinson buffer, the limits of detection were found to be 1.17 μg mL-1 (2.3 × 10-6 M) for 4 × 10-4 SDS-containing buffer solution at pH 2, and 0.24 μg mL-1 (4.8 × 10-7 M) for 1 × 10-4 CTAB-containing buffer solution at pH 9.0. The feasibility of the developed approach for the quantification of demeclocycline was tested in urine samples.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is a well-known disorder commonly faced by clinicians managing neurologically ill patients. Neurological disorders are often associated with hyponatremia during their acute presentation and can be associated with specific neurologic etiologies and symptoms. Patients may present with hyponatremia with traumatic brain injury, develop hyponatremia subacutely following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, or may manifest with seizures due to hyponatremia itself. Clinicians caring for the neurologically ill patient should be well versed in identifying these early signs, symptoms, and etiologies of hyponatremia. Early diagnosis and treatment can potentially avoid neurologic and systemic complications in these patients and improve outcomes. This review focuses on the causes and findings of hyponatremia in the neurologically ill patient and discusses the pathophysiology, diagnoses, and treatment strategies for commonly encountered etiologies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hyponatremia is seen commonly in patients with cancer and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Understanding the proper diagnosis and therapy of cancer-associated hyponatremia is critical to ensure improved outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS The most common cancers associated with hyponatremia are the various forms of lung cancer with incidences approaching 25-45%. The most common causes of hyponatremia in cancer patients are the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion [syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH)] and volume depletion. Proper diagnosis rests on clinical information supplemented by laboratory studies and is critical to ensure appropriate therapy. In recent years, the development of drugs that specifically antagonize the vasopressin type 2 receptor in the distal tubule have offered targeted and highly effective therapies for syndrome of inappropriate ADH. SUMMARY Hyponatremia in cancer patients generally indicates advanced or severe disease but proper therapy that targets the underlying process can improve outcomes.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most prevalent electrolyte disorder in Intensive Care Units. It is associated with an increase in morbidity, mortality and hospital stay. The majority of the published studies are observational, retrospective and do not include critical patients; hence it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Moreover, the lack of clinical evidence has led to important dissimilarities in the recommendations coming from different scientific societies. Finally, etiopathogenic mechanisms leading to hyponatremia in the critical care patient are complex and often combined, and an intensive analysis is clearly needed. A study was therefore made to review all clinical aspects about hyponatremia management in the critical care setting. The aim was to develop a Spanish nationwide algorithm to standardize hyponatremia diagnosis and treatment in the critical care patient.

Abstract
The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is defined as hyponatremia with inappropriately concentrated urine in a euvolemic patient. SIADH is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical conditions. In the hospital, hyponatremia carries significant mortality with a prolonged duration of inpatient stay. It is imperative that the underlying cause is appropriately investigated and such patients are closely monitored. This article presents a case of difficult-to-treat hyponatremia secondary to SIADH in a patient with a rare isolated central nervous system (CNS) relapse from a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). A relapse, particularly affecting the CNS, carries a poor prognosis. The patient was started on dexamethasone and offered treatment with methotrexate but declined. The hyponatremia failed to respond to fluid restriction and demeclocycline. The hyponatremia responded to a single dose of tolvaptan. Clinicians should have a low index of suspicion for a relapse of lymphoma as a cause of difficult to treat hyponatremia in any patient who has previously had remission from lymphoma treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder with a prevalence of up to 30% in hospitalized patients. Furthermore, it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. AREAS COVERED This review discusses the efficacy and side effects of the currently available treatment options for hyponatremia and the differences in the pharmacological approach between the European and USA guidelines. Additionally, the authors provide their expert perspectives on current treatment strategies and what they expect from this field in the future. EXPERT OPINION Several pharmacological options are available for the treatment of hyponatremia, but data from trials examining and comparing these treatments are missing. Regarding chronic hyponatremia, the role of vaptans should be further analyzed, focusing on comparisons with other active treatments on patient-relevant outcomes and not only on serum sodium concentration. Clinicians should be cautious to an overly rapid increase in serum sodium levels with all available treatment strategies. Finally, it is important to ascertain whether correction of serum sodium levels improves mortality in hyponatremic patients.

Abstract
An 11-year-old boy developed severe syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) after diagnosis of an intracranial B-cell lymphoma. His sodium levels dropped to 118-120 mmol/L despite 70% fluid restriction. For chemotherapy, he required hyperhydration, which posed a challenge because of severe hyponatraemia. Tolvaptan is an oral, highly selective arginine vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist, which has been licensed in adults for the management of SIADH and has been used in treating paediatric heart failure. Tolvaptan gradually increased sodium levels and allowed liberalisation of fluid intake and hyperhydration. Tolvaptan had profound effects on urinary output in our patient with increases up to 8 mL/kg/h and required close monitoring of fluid balance, frequent sodium measurements and adjustments to intake. After hyperhydration, tolvaptan was stopped, and the lymphoma went into remission with reversal of SIADH. We report one of the first uses of tolvaptan in a child with SIADH, and it was an effective and safe treatment to manage severe SIADH when fluid restriction was not possible or effective. However, meticulous monitoring of fluid balance and sodium levels and adjustments of fluid intake are required to prevent rapid sodium changes. LEARNING POINTS Tolvaptan can be used in paediatric patients with SIADH to allow hyperhydration during chemotherapy.Tolvaptan has profound effects on urinary output and meticulous monitoring of fluid balance and sodium
levels is therefore warranted.Tolvaptan was well tolerated without significant side effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyponatremia induced by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) has not received sufficient attention in patients with epilepsy. Areas covered: We reviewed articles between 1966 and 2015 about hyponatremia as an adverse effect of AEDs in patients with epilepsy. The incidence, clinical symptoms, onset times of AEDs-induced hyponatremia are discussed in detail, as are the risk factors associated with AEDs-induced hyponatremia and mechanisms underlying its development. We also briefly describe strategies for treating AED-induced hyponatremia. Expert opinion: Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the most common AEDs which induce hyponatremia in patients with epilepsy. Recently, other AEDs, such as eslicarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam and gabapentin have also been reported to cause hyponatremia. Understanding the risk associated with AED-induced hyponatremia and taking effective measures to combat serum sodium imbalance induced by AED therapy are necessary.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the commonest electrolyte disturbance encountered in hospitalized patients, and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is the most frequent underlying disorder. There is a well-recognized relationship between hyponatremia and increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, to provide appropriate treatment is critical to improve the clinical outcome related to SIAD-hyponatremia. There have been important advances in the treatment of SIAD over the last decade, leading to the publication of several clinical guidelines. In particular, the introduction of the vasopressin-2 receptor antagonists provides a potent pharmacological tool to target the underlying pathophysiology of SIAD. The evidence base recommendations of the available therapies for SIAD are discussed in this study. Fluid restriction is considered the first-line therapy by the recent published guidelines, but it is certainly ineffective or unfeasible in many patients with SIAD. We discuss a number of relevant points to the use of fluid restriction in this study, including the lack of good evidence-based recommendations to support its use. Conversely, the clinical efficacy of oral tolvaptan in SIAD supported by good quality randomized, placebo controlled, clinical trials. However, the cost of the therapy and the need for long-term safety data may limit its widespread use. Finally, new recommendations for the management of acute hyponatremia with a focus on the use of bolus therapy with 3 % hypertonic sodium chloride are described in this study.
