Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used anticancer agent, but its clinical application is limited by significant off-target hepatorenal toxicity. Tadalafil (TAD), a selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor used mainly for erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension, has shown potential in reducing oxidative stress. This study investigated TAD's chemoprotective effects and underlying mechanisms in DOX-induced hepatorenal toxicity in rats over 12 days.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) often coexist; however, clinically available anti-AF drugs can exacerbate symptoms of HFpEF. M201-A suppressed ryanodine receptor-mediated diastolic Ca leakage, possibly inhibiting common pathological processes toward AF and HFpEF. To bridge the basic information to clinical practice, we assessed its cardiohemodynamic, anti-AF and ventricular proarrhythmic profile using halothane-anesthetized dogs (n = 4).

Suxamethonium is considered by many to be the best drug for providing ideal intubating conditions, short surgical procedures, and rapid sequence induction. However, its usefulness is limited by the frequent occurrence of adverse effects like postoperative myalgia. Therefore this study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of postoperative suxamethonium-induced myalgia.
