Biomed Chromatogr 2024; 38:e5924. [PMID: 38922973 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
The co-administration of dapagliflozin (DPF) and sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for managing heart failure. Given that DPF and LCZ696 are substrates for P-glycoprotein, there is a plausible potential for drug-drug interactions when administered concomitantly. To investigate the pharmacokinetic changes when these drugs are co-administered, we have established and validated a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method capable of simultaneously detecting DPF, LBQ657 (the active metabolite of sacubitril) and valsartan in rat plasma. This method has demonstrated selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy. Drug-drug interactions were examined by the LC-MS/MS method. The mechanisms were investigated using everted intestinal sac models and Caco-2 cells. The results showed that DPF significantly increased the area under the curve (AUC(0-t)) (3,563.3 ± 651.7 vs. 7,146.5 ± 1,714.9 h μg/L) of LBQ657 (the active metabolite of sacubitril) and the AUC(0-t) (24,022.4 ± 6,774.3 vs. 55,728.3 ± 32,446.3 h μg/L) of valsartan after oral co-administration. Dapagliflozin significantly increased the amount of LBQ657 and valsartan in intestinal sacs by 1- and 1.25-fold at 2.25 h. Caco-2 cell uptake studies confirmed that P-glycoprotein is the transporter involved in this interaction. This finding enhances the understanding of drug-drug interactions in the treatment of heart failure and provides a guidence for clinical therapy.

Abstract
Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide and is mainly associated with impaired insulin function. To date, various oral anti-diabetic drugs have been developed, of which, the sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) are of the most recent classes that have been introduced. They differ from other classes in terms of their novel mechanism of actions and unique beneficial effects rather than just lowering glucose levels. SGLT2Is can protect body against cardiovascular events and kidney diseases even in non-diabetic individuals. SGLT2Is participate in immune cell activation, oxidative stress reduction, and inflammation mediation, thereby, moderating diabetic complications. In addition, toll like receptors (TLRs) are the intermediators of the immune system and inflammatory process, thus it's believed to play crucial roles in diabetic complications, particularly the ones that are related to inflammatory reactions. SGLT2Is are also effective against diabetic complications via their anti-inflammatory and oxidative properties. Given the anti-inflammatory properties of TLRs and SGLT2Is, this review investigates how SGLT2Is can affect the TLR pathway, and whether this could be favorable toward diabetes.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 125:111038. [PMID: 38149574 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111038] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is an essential component participating in the development and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). Dapagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, has been shown to exert cardioprotective effects by ameliorating oxidative stress in multiple heart disease models. However, its potential to attenuate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial injury in rats remains unknown. AIM This study aims to investigate the role of dapagliflozin in LPS-induced myocardial injury and the potential mechanisms involved. METHODS Rats were intraperitoneally administered LPS to induce sepsis-like condition. The intervention was conducted with intraperitoneal injection of dapagliflozin or saline 1 h in advance. The effects of dapagliflozin were detected by electrophysiological recordings, western blot, qPCR, ELISA, HE staining, immunohistochemistry and fluorescence. We further validated the mechanism in vitro using HL-1 cells. RESULTS Dapagliflozin significantly improved LPS-induced myocardial injury, reduced susceptibility to AF, and mitigated atrial tissue inflammatory cell infiltration and atrial myocyte apoptosis. These were correlated with the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which subsequently reduced oxidative stress. Subsequently, we used a specific inhibitor of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in vitro, reversed the anti-oxidative stress effects of dapagliflozin on HL-1 cells, further confirming the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway's pivotal role in dapagliflozin-mediated cardioprotection. CONCLUSION Dapagliflozin ameliorated myocardial injury and susceptibility to AF induced by LPS through anti-oxidative stress, which relied on upregulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction and Microbial Translocation in Patients with First-Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11010176. [PMID: 36672684 PMCID: PMC9856173 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11010176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the leaky gut concept, microbial products (e.g., lipopolysaccharide, LPS) enter the circulation and mediate pro-inflammatory immunological responses. Higher plasma LPS levels have been reported in patients with various cardiovascular diseases, but not specifically during early atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS We studied data and blood samples from patients presenting with first-diagnosed AF (FDAF) (n = 80) and 20 controls. RESULTS Circulating biomarkers that are suggestive of mucosal inflammation (zonulin, mucosal adhesion molecule MAdCAM-1) and intestinal epithelium damage (intestinal fatty acid binding protein, IFABP) were increased in the plasma of patients with FDAF when compared to patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases but without AF. Surrogate plasma markers of increased intestinal permeability (LPS, CD14, LPS-binding protein, gut-derived LPS-neutralising IgA antibodies, EndoCAbs) were detected during early AF. A reduced ratio of IgG/IgM EndoCAbs titres indicated chronic endotoxaemia. Collagen turnover biomarkers, which corresponded to the LPS values, suggested an association of gut-derived low-grade endotoxaemia with adverse structural remodelling. The LPS concentrations were higher in FDAF patients who experienced a major adverse cardiovascular event. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal barrier dysfunction and microbial translocation accompany FDAF. Improving gut permeability and low-grade endotoxaemia might be a potential therapeutic approach to reducing the disease progression and cardiovascular complications in FDAF.
