In the current study, the protective effect of a mistletoe extract (Helixor®, HLX) on Itraconazole (ITZ)-induced hepatocellular injury and acute oxidative stress in rats was aimed to be investigated by histological, biochemical and comet assay methods. Four groups a control group, an HLX group (5mg/kg/14days/intraperitoneally (ip)), an ITZ group (100mg/kg/14days/oral) and an HLX plus ITZ group (5mg/kg/14days/ip+100mg/kg/14days/oral) were all created from 32 female Wistar albino rats. At the end of the experiment, AST and ALT liver enzymes, total oxidant status (TOS) levels and total antioxidant status (TAS) levels, histopathological analysis and comet assay were carried out.

Gilteritinib, an FDA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia, is primarily eliminated via CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, a pathway that is sensitive to the co-administration of known CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as itraconazole. However, the precise mechanism by which itraconazole and other CYP3A-modulating drugs affect the absorption and disposition of gilteritinib remains unclear. In the present investigation, we demonstrate that pretreatment with itraconazole is associated with a significant increase in the systemic exposure to gilteritinib in mice, recapitulating the observed clinical drug-drug interaction.

What Is Known And Objective: Several studies have reported that itraconazole-induced inhibition of vincristine (VCR) metabolism might result in neurological impairment and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). However, there are few reports concerning adverse drug reactions (ADRs) resulting from concomitant use of vindesine (VDS) and itraconazole. Here, we report the first case of adverse drug interactions (ADIs) between itraconazole and VDS in a Chinese child with acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL).

Severe cases of itraconazole-induced hepatotoxicity have been reported; however, these events are thought to occur very rarely. The available literature is comprised largely of individual case reports and small series that do not report the itraconazole serum concentration at the time of the severe adverse event or apply an objective scale to assess probability of the event being related to drug exposure. We report a case of severe hepatotoxicity after 6 months of itraconazole therapy for histoplasmosis, resulting in acute hepatic failure (aspartate transaminase >20× and alanine transaminase >15× upper limit normal), in the setting of therapeutic serum concentrations (5 mg/mL).

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is an uncommon disease, which presents as a nonfollicular erythematous sterile pustular eruption. More than 90% of the cases are induced by adverse drug reactions, often triggered by anti-infectious systemic drugs. We report a case of itraconazole-induced AGEP in a 22-year-old man, with an assessment of his cytokine/chemokine production and drug-specific cell reactivity.
