This study explores the effectiveness of various antifungal drugs in treating sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii, especially in non-wild-type (non-WT) strains. The drugs tested include enilconazole (ENIL), isavuconazole (ISA), posaconazole (POS), terbinafine (TER), and itraconazole (ITC). The study involved in vitro and in vivo tests on 10 WT isolates and eight ITC non-WT isolates.

Objective: We aimed to understand the potential therapeutic and anti-inflammatory effects of the phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor roflumilast in models of pulmonary infection caused by betacoronaviruses.
Methods: Mice were infected intranasally with murine hepatitis virus (MHV-3) or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Roflumilast was given to MHV-3-infected mice therapeutically at doses of 1 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg, or prophylactically at 10 mg/kg.

The overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in certain types of prostate cancers and glioblastoma makes it a promising target for targeted radioligand therapy. In this context, pairing an EGFR-targeting peptide with the emerging theranostic pair comprising the Auger electron emitter cobalt-58m (Co) and the Positron Emission Tomography-isotope cobalt-55 (Co) would be of great interest for creating novel radiopharmaceuticals for prostate cancer and glioblastoma theranostics. In this study, GE11 (YHWYGYTPQNVI) was investigated for its EGFR-targeting potential when conjugated using click chemistry to N1-((triazol-4-yl)methyl)-N1,N2,N2-tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (TZTPEN).

MEK inhibitors, such as trametinib, have shown therapeutic potential in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the factors influencing cancer cell sensitivity and resistance to MEK inhibition remain poorly understood. In our study, we observed that MEK inhibition significantly reduced the expression of MYC, a transcription factor critical for the therapeutic response.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene. Currently, CFTR modulators are the most effective treatment for CF; however, they may not be suitable for all patients. A representative and convenient model is needed to screen therapeutic agents under development.
