Background: Due to its availability and perceived safety, paracetamol is recommended even during pregnancy and for neonates. It is used frequently alone or in combination with other drugs required for the treatment of various chronic conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate potential effects of drug interactions on paracetamol metabolism and its placental transfer and entry into the developing brain.

Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, poses a significant burden on patients' quality of life and healthcare systems. While mild-to-moderate cases are treated topically, usually combined with phototherapy, severe cases require systemic treatment with immunosuppressants, retinoids or biologics. However, all available treatments have drawbacks in terms of efficiency and side effects.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Current treatments for DKD do not halt renal injury progression, highlighting an urgent need for therapies targeting key disease mechanisms. Our previous studies demonstrated that activating the Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) with fluvoxamine (FLU) protects against acute kidney injury by inhibiting inflammation and ameliorating the effect of hypoxia.

We investigated the inhibitory effects of 32 antidepressants on [H]N-methylscopolamine ([H]NMS)-specific binding in the mouse cerebral neocortex to determine which antidepressants should be recommended for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Of those tested, nine antidepressants (10 M) exhibited less inhibitory effect on [H]NMS-specific binding (<35%): tianeptine (a tricyclic); trazodone (a serotonin 5-HT blocker); sulpiride (a dopamine D blocker); fluvoxamine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (RI)); milnacipran, levomilnacipran, venlafaxine, and desvenlafaxine (serotonin and noradrenaline RIs); and bupropion (a noradrenaline and dopamine RI). Therefore, these antidepressants show little anticholinergic effect in the brain and are recommended for use in patients with AD.
