Ritonavir (RTV) is a potent CYP3A inhibitor that is widely used as a pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancer to increase exposure to select protease inhibitors. However, as a strong and complex perpetrator of CYP3A interactions, RTV can also enhance the exposure of other co-administered CYP3A substrates, potentially causing toxicity. Therefore, the prediction of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and estimation of dosing requirements for concomitantly administered drugs is imperative.

Objectives: Placental pathology lesions are common in early-onset fetal growth restriction (eoFGR). Therapeutic interventions to improve eoFGR outcomes are needed. In the international STRIDER trials (Sildenafil Therapy In Dismal prognosis Early-onset intrauterine growth Restriction) sildenafil didn't improve perinatal outcomes of eoFGR.

Background: Cardiorenal dysfunction with impaired cyclic GMP (cGMP) response is common in patients presenting with acute heart failure (HF). Type V phosphodiesterase (PDEV) is known to be upregulated in HF and may explain the dysfunction of renal response. The aim of this study was to determine whether B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) alone or in combination with PDEV inhibition improves renal function and increases urinary sodium and cGMP excretion in acute HF.

Background: Mitochondrial biogenesis (MB) induction has recently emerged as potential therapeutic approaches in kidney pathology and the mitochondria-targeted therapies should be investigated to improve treatment of animals with kidney diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of MB induction with sildenafil citrate on the cGMP/NO pathway, glomerular filtration, and reduction of kidney damage and fibrosis (TGF-β/SMAD pathway) in cats with acute on chronic kidney disease (ACKD). Thirty-three cats were divided into the non-azotemic (healthy) group (n:8) and the ACKD group (n:25), comprising different breeds, sexes, and ages.
