Gastric irritancies and anti-inflammatory potencies of 25 commercially available non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been measured in the rat. When irritancy is measured as the dose required to produce a specified level of gastric mucosal damage, it is found that irritancy increases with anti-inflammatory potency. However, when irritancy is measured as the level of gastric mucosal damage at the anti-inflammatory ED50 (which is a clinically realistic measure) then irritancy decreases as anti-inflammatory potency increases. Hence it should be possible to design high-potency, low-irritancy NSAIDs.

Objective: To develop and validate a prognostic model for risk-stratified monitoring of 5-aminosalicylate nephrotoxicity.

Methods: This UK retrospective cohort study used data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum and Gold for model development and validation respectively. It included adults newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and established on 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) treatment between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2019.

Genetic and species rearrangements in microbial consortia impact biodegradation potential.

Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo/ Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas/ Junta de Andalucía, Seville, Spain.

Genomic reorganisation between species and horizontal gene transfer have been considered the most important mechanism of biological adaptation under selective pressure. Still, the impact of mobile genes in microbial ecology is far from being completely understood. Here we present the collection and characterisation of microbial consortia enriched from environments contaminated with emerging pollutants, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

: The proton-coupled amino acid transporter (PAT1) is an intestinal absorptive solute carrier responsible for the oral bioavailability of some GABA-mimetic drug substances such as vigabatrin and gaboxadol. In the present work, we investigate if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug substances (NSAIDs) interact with substrate transport via human (h)PAT1. : The transport of substrates via hPAT1 was investigated in Caco-2 cells using radiolabeled substrate uptake and in oocytes injected with , measuring induced currents using the two-electrode voltage clamp technique.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) or eczema is an important inflammatory chronic skin disease that brings many complications in its management and treatment. Although several chemical agents are used for treatment, the search for better anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents of plant origin has been ongoing, since natural compounds, it is commonly believed, are less dangerous than synthetic ones. Therefore, the present study explored a medicinal plant- (L.
