Aims: The study aims at evaluating the effects of the combinatory famotidine/cimetidine diet on radiated mice's survival.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred and seventy male mice were categorized into 11 groups, a number of which were comprised of subgroups too. The groups under analysis were posed to varying doses of gamma-radiation, including 6, 7, 8, and 9 Gy, followed by treatments using various drug doses 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg, with survival fractions as long as a month after irradiation being measured and recorded.
Results: LD was calculated as 7.47 Gy for the group with radiation only. Following mouse treatment with a concentration of 4 and 20 mg/kg for famotidine and cimetidine, respectively, the survival fraction for the mice grew significantly compared to LD. The combinatory famotidine/cimetidine diet had a higher dose-reduction factor (DRF) than single doses of the drug in radioprotection. The DRF for combinatory famotidine/cimetidine, famotidine, and cimetidine diets was 08.09, 1.1, and 1.01, respectively.
Conclusions: Results imply that the combined regimen of famotidine + cimetidine in radioprotection had no significant higher DRF than with regimens including each of them separately. In addition, we did not find a synergic effect of combined oral famotidine and cimetidine on irradiated mice.

Accurate predictions of renal drug-drug interactions (DDIs) mediated by the human organic cation transporter 2 (hOCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (hMATEs) remain challenging. Current DDI evaluation using plasma maximal unbound inhibitor concentrations (I) and IC values determined in single transporter-transfected cells frequently leads to false or overprediction especially for hMATE1. Emerging evidence suggests intracellular unbound inhibitor concentration may be more relevant for hMATE1 inhibition in vivo.

The article discusses the use of mathematical models and linear algebra to understand the crystalline structures and interconversion pathways of drug complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). It involved the preparation and analysis of mixtures of indomethacin, diclofenac, famotidine, and cimetidine with β-CD using techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR). Singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis is used to identify the presence of different polymorphs in the mixtures of these drugs and β-CD, determine interconversion pathways, and distinguish between different forms.

Histamine H2 receptor antagonists are a group of drugs that inhibit gastric juice secretion in gastrointestinal diseases. However, there is evidence to suggest that H2 blockers have a broader spectrum of activity. The antioxidant properties of H2 blockers have not been fully elucidated, and their anti-glycation potential has not been studied to date.

One of the solubilization of poorly water-soluble drugs is the use of cyclodextrin (CD)-based inclusion complexes. On the other hand, few studies have investigated how CD functions on the solubility of drugs in the presence of multiple drugs that interact with each other. In this study, we used indomethacin (IND) and diclofenac (DIC) as acidic drugs, famotidine (FAM) and cimetidine (CIM) as basic drugs, and imidazole (IMZ), histidine (HIS), and arginine (ARG) as compounds structurally similar to basic drugs.
