While drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and their pharmacokinetic (PK) mechanisms are well-studied prior to drug approval, severe adverse drug reactions (SADRs) caused by DDIs often remain underrecognized due to limitations in pre-marketing clinical trials. To address this gap, our study utilized a literature database, applied natural language processing (NLP) techniques, and conducted multi-source electronic health record (EHR) validation to uncover underrecognized DDI-SADR signals that warrant further investigation. PubMed abstracts related to DDIs from January 1962 to December 2023 were retrieved.

Recently, the antihypertensive drug diltiazem has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to inhibit the expression of the thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), an upstream regulator of the NOD-like receptor pyrin-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway.
