Long-term safety of lanthanum carbonate in the real word: a 19-year disproportionality analysis from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.

Background: Lanthanum carbonate is widely used to manage serum phosphate and calcium levels in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, yet comprehensive long-term safety data are lacking. This study leverages the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to assess the extended safety profile of lanthanum carbonate.

Research Design And Methods: We analyzed FAERS data (2004-2022) to study the association between lanthanum carbonate and adverse events (AEs).

Resveratrol suppresses the inducible expression of CYP3A4 through the pregnane X receptor.

The pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is activated by a number of clinically prescribed drugs and herbal extracts. The inducible expression of several important cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes has been shown to be regulated by the activation of PXR in the liver. In the current study, reporter gene-transfected cells were used to identify potential antagonists of PXR.

Down-regulation of P-gp expression and function after Mulberroside A treatment: potential role of protein kinase C and NF-kappa B.

P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a major role in drug-drug and herb-drug interactions. Mulberroside A (Mul A) is one of the main bioactive constituents of Sangbaipi, the dried root-bark of Morus alba L. (white mulberry), which is officially listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

[Induction of UGT1A1 expression by praeruptorin A and praeruptorin C through hCAR pathway].

This study is purposed to investigate the effects of praeruptorin A (PA) and praeruptorin C (PC) on UGT1A1 in HepG2 cells through hCAR pathway. PA and PC were incubated with HepG2 cells for 24 h and 48 h, mRNA and protein expressions of UGT1A1 were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting assays. Additionally, effects of PA and PC on UGT1A1 mRNA and protein expressions were also measured after transient transfection of a specific CAR siRNA for 72 h in HepG2 cells.
