Magnesium (Mg) is the second most abundant intracellular and fourth extracellular cation found in the body and is involved in a wide range of functions in the human cell and human physiology. Its role in most of the enzyme processes (ATP-ases)-stabilisation of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), regulation of calcium and potassium ion channels, proliferation, glucose metabolism and apoptosis-make it one of the most important cations in the cell. Three pathogenetic mechanisms are mainly implicated in the development of hypomagnesaemia: reduced food intake, decreased intestinal absorption and increased renal excretion of Mg. This review presents the function of Mg, how it is handled in the kidney and the drugs that cause hypomagnesaemia. The frequency and the number of drugs like diuretics and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) that are used daily in medical practice are discussed in order to prevent and treat adverse effects by providing an insight into Mg homeostasis.

Reactive Metabolites Cause Idiosyncratic Drug-Induced Liver Injury via Inflammasome Activation in Antigen-Presenting Cells.
J Appl Toxicol

Department of Pharmacotherapeutics and Toxicology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Osaka, Japan.
Although the pathophysiology of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is unclear, it is presumed to be immune-mediated, involving complex interactions between drug metabolism and activation of the immune system. The following four reactive metabolite production patterns are considered: (1) parent compounds into reactive metabolites within neutrophils or antigen-presenting cells (APCs), (2) reactive metabolites produced by cytochrome P450 (CYP), (3) nonreactive metabolites produced by CYP into reactive metabolites within APCs, and (4) reactive metabolites produced by non-CYPs. Reactive metabolites indirectly activate inflammasomes in APCs, leading to IDILIs.

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is an acute exanthematous disease with an uncertain physiopathology, increasingly recognized as potentially drug induced. This study aims to investigate medication triggers associated with PR by analyzing cases reported in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. A retrospective review of 343 PR cases reported in the FAERS database from January 1, 1998, to March 31, 2024, was conducted.

Efferocytosis refers to the process of phagocytes engulfing and clearing the cells after programmed cell death. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that the mechanisms of efferocytosis are closely related to drug-induced liver injury, hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, viral hepatitis, cholestatic liver diseases, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, and other liver disorders. This review summarized the research progress on the role of efferocytosis in liver diseases, with the hope of providing new targets for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases.

Diabetes is a complex global healthcare burden involving multiple organ systems with its prevalence on the rise. SGLT2 inhibitors enhance glucose excretion. The objective of our literature review was to determine the association between cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) and the use of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Sweet's syndrome (or acute febrile dermatosis) is a neutrophilic dermatosis with a characteristic presentation encompassing specific clinical (fever and erythemato-violaceous oedematous papules, plaques and nodules), laboratory (neutrophilia and increased inflammatory markers), and histological (dermal neutrophilic infiltrate without vasculitis) features. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood but there seems to be an auto-inflammatory component related to mutations in inflammasome genes. It has been subdivided into its classic form, malignancy-associated, and drug-induced, according to its aetiology.
