Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) indicated for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and other cancers. It is metabolized by CYP2C8 and CYP3A into a major active metabolite N-desmethyl-imatinib. The purpose of the study was to determine in vitro the influence of CYP2C8 and CYP3A phenotypes, su...
Antigen interference from residual antigen peptides remains a persistent challenge in anti-peptide immunocapture liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (IC-LC-MS/MS) assays for quantifying low-abundance protein biomarkers. In this manuscript, we introduce a novel approach that utilizes carri...
Tucatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) indicated for HER2 positive breast cancer. It is metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 and CYP3A. Given the interindividual variability in the pharmacokinetics of some TKIs, this study explored how variability in CYP2C8 and CYP3A activities...
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is estimated to affect approximately 30% of adults worldwide. The progressive form of MASLD, namely metabolic-dysfunction steatohepatitis (MASH), is a leading cause of chronic liver disease. MASH is marked by hepatocellular fat accumul...
Humans are exposed to arsenic species through inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact, which may lead to skin, liver, and bladder cancers as well as cardiovascular and neurological diseases. The mechanisms underlying the cytotoxic and carcinogenic effects of arsenic species, however, remain incompl...
A targeted metabolomics approach reveals distinct metabolic patterns associated with different GOLD stages, KNGF profiles and SYS subtypes in COPD patients, highlighting unique mechanisms and pathways underlying various COPD classification systems.
Background Sepsis diagnosis in preterm neonates is challenging due to symptom overlap with non-infectious inflammatory conditions, and slow, unreliable diagnostic practices. This study aims to identify metabolic biomarkers to elucidate sepsis pathophysiology, and enable timely, accurate diagnosis, w...
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is associated with idiosyncratic drug induced liver injury (DILI), which remains difficult to predict. SMX is primarily metabolized by the N-acetyltransferases NAT1 and NAT2 to form N4-acetyl sulfamethoxazole (NA-SMX) and by cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation to form SMX-hydro...
