Butyrolactone I blocks the transition of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease in mice by targeting JAK1.
MedComm (2020)
February 2025
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease that affects more than 850 million people. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common cause of CKD, and blocking the AKI-CKD transition shows promising therapeutic potential. Herein, we found that butyrolactone I (BLI), a natural product, exerts significant nephroprotective effects, including maintenance of kidney function, inhibition of inflammatory response, and prevention of fibrosis, in both folic acid- and ureteral obstruction-induced AKI-CKD transition mouse models.

The use of hypoxia-activated prodrugs is a promising strategy to address the limitations of photodynamic therapy (PDT) caused by a hypoxic tumor microenvironment. However, the controlled release of these hypoxia-activated prodrugs during PDT remains a challenge. In this study, we present a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a core-shell structure that can achieve a high PDT efficacy and on-demand release of hypoxia-activated prodrugs (AQ4N) for hypoxic tumor therapy.

Objective: To determine the relative effectiveness of combination therapy of antidepressants with low-dose methylfolate versus antidepressant monotherapy in patients with depressive disorder.
Methods: In an open-label clinical trial, forty-four patients with depressive disorder (6A70, 6A71, and 6A72 according to ICD-11) received an evidence-based antidepressant therapy (either escitalopram 10-20 mg, sertraline 50-100 mg, fluoxetine 20-40 mg, duloxetine 30-60 mg, mirtazapine 15-30 mg, venlafaxine 75-150 mg, trazodone 50-100 mg, amitriptyline 25-75 mg, or clomipramine 25-75 mg orally daily for 4 weeks). The experimental group, Group B was additionally given a dose of methylfolate 800 µg daily for four weeks.
Impact of folic acid supplementation on ischemia‒reperfusion-induced kidney injury in rats: folic acid prophylactic role revisited.

Folic acid (FA), with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, may offer protection against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. This study investigated whether FA safeguards rat kidneys from IR by targeting high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), a key inflammatory mediator. Fifty adult male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups: control, IR, IR + FA pretreatment, and FA alone.
