Complexed rifampicin with iron mitigates doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity. (PubMed, BMC Pharmacol Toxicol)
In conclusion, we propose the iron-rifampicin complex as a potential candidate for nephroprotection against doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity, subject to further validation.

Cross-linked (R)-(+)-lipoic acid nanoparticles loaded with silibinin induce apoptosis and autophagy in glioblastoma cells. (PubMed, Am J Transl Res)
SF@LA-NPs developed in this study significantly enhanced the delivery efficiency and antitumor activity of silibinin in glioblastoma cells. Moreover, a dual-mechanism mode of action was elucidated, involving ROS-induced mitochondrial apoptosis and compensatory protective autophagy. These findings provide a promising nano-platform and a theoretical basis for combination therapies targeting apoptosis-autophagy crosstalk in glioblastoma.

Guselkumab Safety in Patients With Latent Tuberculosis: Analysis of 11 Studies in Psoriatic Disease. (PubMed, J Dermatol)
Among 5 255 randomized patients, 374 (7.1%) had LTBI and received preventive treatment, most commonly isoniazid (82.1%) and rifampicin (11.8%). From Year 1-5 (after ~98% of LTBI+ patients completed preventive treatment), transaminase elevations were generally similar among LTBI+ and LTBI- patients. The absence of observed TB risk in guselkumab-treated patients suggests IL-23 inhibitors may be better treatment options than TNFi in high-risk patients, including those in TB-endemic regions.

Updates in Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment: No Longer Too Small to Ignore-A Review of Recent Therapeutic Advances. (PubMed, Am Soc Clin Oncol Educ Book)
From approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors and lurbinectedin, a newer chemotherapy agent, to novel immunotherapies such as tarlatamab, a DLL3-CD3 bispecific T-cell engager, and other upcoming promising drugs, the therapeutic armamentarium for SCLC is steadily expanding. In this study, we review the current landscape of both systemic therapy as well as radiation therapy for SCLC, with a focus on major developments over the past decade, current standards of care, and novel therapeutics that are expected to revolutionize the treatment of this aggressive malignancy.
