A series of gemfibrozil analogues with a thiourea moiety embedded in the side chain was prepared and evaluated as HDL-elevating agents. Derivatives 8b, 9b, 9c, and 9d were found to be approximately as effective as gemfibrozil (1) for HDL cholesterol elevation.

Mechanistic Determinants of Daprodustat Drug-Drug Interactions and Pharmacokinetics in Hepatic Dysfunction and Chronic Kidney Disease: Significance of OATP1B-CYP2C8 Interplay.

Article Synopsis
- - Daprodustat is an oral medication recently approved for treating anemia in adults with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis, and its effectiveness relies heavily on how it's processed in the liver through specific transport proteins.
- - Studies show that drugs that inhibit these transport proteins, like rifampin, significantly increase daprodustat's levels in the body, suggesting potential drug interactions that could affect its clearance and overall pharmacokinetics.
- - A pharmacokinetic model was developed to predict how daprodustat interacts with other medications and showed that drugs inhibiting liver enzymes and transporters could lead to significant interactions, making it crucial to monitor these combinations in patients with kidney issues.
Effects of Modified Low-Density Lipoproteins and Fenofibrate on an Outer Blood-Retina Barrier Model: Implications for Diabetic Retinopathy.

There is a lack of treatment for early diabetic retinopathy (DR), including blood-retina barrier (BRB) breakdown. The robust clinical benefit of fenofibrate in DR provides an opportunity to explore disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets. We have previously found that modified lipoproteins contribute to DR and that fenofibrate protects the inner BRB.

Novel methods for peptides structural modification and bioactivity optimization are highly needed in peptide-based drug discovery. Herein, we explored the use gemfibrozil (GFZ) as an albumin binder to enhance the stability and improve the bioactivity of peptides. Short-acting Xenopus glucagon-like peptide-1 (xGLP-1) analogues with anti-diabetic activity were selected as the starting point.

In this paper, broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) has been applied to study the molecular dynamics and crystallization kinetics of the antihyperlipidemic active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), gemfibrozil (GEM), as well as its deuterated (dGEM) and methylated (metGEM) derivatives, characterized by different types and strengths of intermolecular interactions. Moreover, calorimetric and infrared measurements have been carried out to characterize the thermal properties of examined samples and to probe a change in the H-bonding pattern in GEM, respectively. We found that the dielectric spectra of all examined compounds, collected below the glass transition temperature (), reveal the presence of two secondary relaxations (β, γ).
