By means of the comet assay we demonstrated a strong effect by hydrogen peroxide (HP) and no damage by grapefruit juice (GJ) in human lymphocytes. Cells exposed to HP and treated with three concentrations of GJ (10-90 min) showed an increase of DNA damage by HP over the control level, and a decrease of such damage by GJ. With the comet assay plus formamidopyrimidine-DNA-glycosylase we found the strongest increase of DNA damage by HP over the control level, and the strongest reduction of such damage by GJ. By applying the comet/FISH method we determined 98% of the p53 gene signals in the comet head of control cells along the experiment (10-90 min), in contrast with about 90% signals in the comet tail of cells exposed to HP. Cells treated with both agents showed a significant, concentration/time dependent return of p53 signals to the head, suggesting enhancement of the gene repair. Finally, with the annexin V assay we found an increase in apoptosis and necrosis by HP, and no effect by GJ; when GJ was added to HP treated cells no modification was observed in regard to apoptosis, although a decrease of necrosis was observed.

Fexofenadine hydrochloride is a widely prescribed drug for treating histamine-mediated allergic reactions. This review systematically collates existing research on the clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) of fexofenadine, with a copious emphasis on examining the impact of stereoisomerism, disease states, and drug interactions. The search engines PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Cochrane were scanned systematically for articles concerning the clinical PK of fexofenadine in humans.

Renal fibrosis is the most common pathway for the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in various kidney diseases. Currently, the treatment options for renal fibrosis are limited. Ferroptosis is iron-mediated lipid peroxidation, triggered mainly by iron deposition and ROS generation.

The well-established calcineurin inhibitor, tacrolimus, as an immunosuppressive agent, is widely prescribed after organ transplantation. Cytochrome P450 (CYP 450) isoforms are responsible for the metabolism of many features associated with food parameters like phytochemicals, juices, and fruits. This review article summarizes the findings of previous studies to help predict the efficacy or side effects of tacrolimus in the presence of food variables.

Chemical amination of the enzyme was demonstrated to favor immobilization onto polydopamine (PDA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for the first time, to the best of the author's knowledge. MNPs prepared via hydrothermal synthesis were coated with PDA for the immobilization of naringinase. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the MNPs were composed mainly of FeO with an average size of 38.

Surface functionalization and the combined utilization of zero-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials is an effective method to achieve highly sensitive detection for electrochemical analysis. Using an all-in-one strategy, phthalocyanine, gold nanoparticles, and ionic liquid were successively modified on the graphene surface as a highly integrated electrode modification material. Phthalocyanine can repair the defects of reduced graphene oxide by binding to the graphene structure surface through non-covalent functionalization.
