Background: This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin versus gliclazide, combined with metformin, in treatment-naive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and glucotoxicity.
Methods: In this single-center, randomized, controlled noninferiority trial, 129 treatment-naive patients with T2DM with glucotoxicity (fasting plasma glucose [FPG] ≥ 200 mg/dL and glycated hemoglobin ≥ 9.0%) were randomized to receive sitagliptin plus metformin (n = 66) or gliclazide plus metformin (n = 63) for 12 weeks.

Rationale: Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare hereditary electrolyte disorder caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene. There is limited literature on the role of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) testing and the SLC12A3 single heterozygous mutation in the diagnosis and management of patients with GS. In addition, cases of GS with concomitant kidney stones are rare.

Human experimental studies have shown that levcromakalim, an ATP-sensitive potassium (K ATP ) channel opener, induces migraine attacks in people with migraine but not in healthy volunteers. However, the exact site of action for K ATP channels in migraine pathophysiology remains unclear. This study investigates the role of these channels in the meninges in eliciting behavioral hypersensitivity responses in mice.

Dual-targeting drug design has become a popular approach in investigating and developing potent anticancer agents. In this regard, carbonic anhydrase (CAIX) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR-2) are emerging as highly effective targets in the battle against cancer. In the present study, two series of 4-thiazolidinones/2,4-thiazolidinediones carrying 2-methylbenzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as potential dual CAIX/VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

The spread of SARS-CoV-2 has led to an interest in using ivermectin (a potent antiparasitic agent) as an antiviral agent despite the lack of convincing in vivo clinical data for its use against COVID-19. The off-target prophylactic use of ivermectin adds a substantial risk of drug-drug interactions with pharmaceutical medications used to treat chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension (metformin and hydrochlorothiazide, respectively). Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the potential drug-drug interactions between ivermectin with either metformin or hydrochlorothiazide.
