The present study was designed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic activity of the new synthetic thienopyridine analogs. The anti-inflammatory activity of thienopyridines was assayed by using carrageenan; dextran and arachidonic acid induced paw edema models (acute), cotton pellet granuloma model (Sub acute) and Freund's complete adjuvant induced arthritis (chronic) in experimental rats. The compounds BN-4, BN-14 and BN-16 have shown significant inhibition of edema in carrageenan and arachidonic acid induced paw edema model at a dose of 100mg/kg compared to the dextran induced paw edema model and also showed significant inhibition in granuloma tissue formation and Freund's complete adjuvant induced arthritis in experimental rats. These thienopyridine analogs also inhibited the proinflammatory mediators such as Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, Interleukin (IL)-1β and Nitric Oxide (NO) in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenged murine macrophages. Ulcerogenecity study results revealed less ulcerogenic potential of BN-4, BN-14 and BN-16 compared to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indomethacin in rats. In conclusion, the new thienopyridine analogs were promising for the potential use as anti-inflammatory agents for both acute and chronic inflammatory disorders with low toxic effects.

The current work focuses on the creation of novel derivatives of the quinazolinone ring system, with various substituted thiophene, thienopyrimidine, and thienopyridine scaffolds 3a,b-11. Employing the standard MTT assay, every target compound's antiproliferative efficacy was evaluated in comparison with doxorubicin against both normal WI-38 cells and various cancer cell lines. Derivatives 6, 8a, and 8b demonstrated the most potent activity, alongside their safety profiles against WI-38.

Background: In patients with sepsis, platelets are activated and adhere to neutrophils, forming platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) that lead to the development of MODS. ARDS is one of the main manifestations of septic MODS. We designed this study to explore the effects of different anti-plate therapy drugs on platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation in the early stage of septic ARDS.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate preoperative platelet function in patients receiving antiplatelet drugs before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aiming to shorten surgical wait times.* -
  • The research involved 48 patients on various P2Y12 receptor blockers and assessed their platelet response using thromboelastography-platelet mapping, revealing resistance rates of 25% for clopidogrel, 33% for ticagrelor, and 33% for prasugrel.* -
  • Findings suggested that identifying resistance to these medications can significantly reduce CABG waiting times compared to existing guidelines, thereby minimizing potential life-threatening delays.*

Background: Some studies in humans show that the concurrent use of clopidogrel and omeprazole decreases plasma clopidogrel active metabolite (CAM) concentrations and clopidogrel antiplatelet effects. Whether this drug interaction occurs in cats is unknown.

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that administration of clopidogrel with omeprazole would decrease plasma CAM concentrations and decrease clopidogrel antiplatelet effects in healthy cats.

Article Synopsis
  • CYP2C19 loss of function carriers face a higher risk of ischemic events when treated with clopidogrel during PCI.
  • In the TAILOR-PCI study, patients were randomized to receive either clopidogrel or a genotype-guided therapy where LOF carriers were prescribed ticagrelor.
  • Although direct medical costs were similar between the two groups, total costs were higher for the GG group mainly due to the more expensive ticagrelor medication.
