RESUMO
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of end-stage kidney disease and is associated with high mortality rates. The influence of routine clinical parameters on DKD onset in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains uncertain. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, for studies published from each database inception until January 11, 2024. We included cohort studies examining the association between DKD onset and various clinical parameters, including body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and serum uric acid (UA). Random-effect dose-response meta-analyses utilizing one-stage and/or cubic spline models, were used to estimate correlation strength. This study is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022326148). Findings: This analysis of 46 studies involving 317,502 patients found that in patients with T2DM, the risk of DKD onset increased by 3% per 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI (relative risk (RR) = 1.03, confidence interval (CI) [1.01-1.04], I2 = 70.07%; GRADE, moderate); a 12% increased risk of DKD onset for every 1% increase in HbA1c (RR = 1.12, CI [1.07-1.17], I2 = 94.94%; GRADE, moderate); a 6% increased risk of DKD onset for every 5 mmHg increase in SBP (RR = 1.06. CI [1.03-1.09], I2 = 85.41%; GRADE, moderate); a 2% increased risk of DKD onset per 10 mg/dL increase in TG (RR = 1.02, CI [1.01-1.03], I2 = 78.45%; GRADE, low); an 6% decreased risk of DKD onset per 10 mg/dL increase in HDL (RR = 0.94, CI [0.92-0.96], I2 = 0.33%; GRADE, high), and a 11% increased risk for each 1 mg/dL increase in UA (RR = 1.11, CI [1.05-1.17], I2 = 79.46%; GRADE, moderate). Subgroup analysis revealed a likely higher risk association of clinical parameters (BMI, HbA1c, LDL, and UA) in patients with T2DM for less than 10 years. Interpretation: BMI, HbA1c, SBP, TG, HDL and UA are potential predictors of DKD onset in patients with T2DM. Given high heterogeneity between included studies, our findings should be interpreted with caution, but they suggest monitoring of these clinical parameters to identify individuals who may be at risk of developing DKD.

RESUMO
Importance: The global prevalence of myopia is predicted to approach 50% by 2050, increasing the risk of visual impairment later in life. No pharmacologic therapy is approved for treating childhood myopia progression. Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of NVK002 (Vyluma), a novel, preservative-free, 0.01% and 0.02% low-dose atropine formulation for treating myopia progression. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomized phase 3 clinical trial conducted from November 20, 2017, through August 22, 2022, of placebo vs low-dose atropine, 0.01% and 0.02% (2:2:3 ratio). Participants were recruited from 26 clinical sites in North America and 5 countries in Europe. Enrolled participants were 3 to 16 years of age with -0.50 diopter (D) to -6.00 D spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) and no worse than -1.50 D astigmatism. Interventions: Once-daily placebo, low-dose atropine, 0.01%, or low-dose atropine, 0.02%, eye drops for 36 months. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary, prespecified end point was the proportion of participants' eyes responding to 0.02% atropine vs placebo therapy (<0.50 D myopia progression at 36 months [responder analysis]). Secondary efficacy end points included responder analysis for atropine, 0.01%, and mean change from baseline in SER and axial length at month 36 in a modified intention-to-treat population (mITT; participants 6-10 years of age at baseline). Safety measurements for treated participants (3-16 years of age) were reported. Results: A total of 576 participants were randomly assigned to treatment groups. Of these, 573 participants (99.5%; mean [SD] age, 8.9 [2.0] years; 315 female [54.7%]) received trial treatment (3 participants who were randomized did not receive trial drug) and were included in the safety set. The 489 participants (84.9%) who were 6 to 10 years of age at randomization composed the mITT set. At month 36, compared with placebo, low-dose atropine, 0.02%, did not significantly increase the responder proportion (odds ratio [OR], 1.77; 95% CI, 0.50-6.26; P = .37) or slow mean SER progression (least squares mean [LSM] difference, 0.10 D; 95% CI, -0.02 D to 0.22 D; P = .10) but did slow mean axial elongation (LSM difference, -0.08 mm; 95% CI, -0.13 mm to -0.02 mm; P = .005); however, at month 36, compared with placebo, low-dose atropine, 0.01%, significantly increased the responder proportion (OR, 4.54; 95% CI, 1.15-17.97; P = .03), slowed mean SER progression (LSM difference, 0.24 D; 95% CI, 0.11 D-0.37 D; P < .001), and slowed axial elongation (LSM difference, -0.13 mm; 95% CI, -0.19 mm to -0.07 mm; P < .001). There were no serious ocular adverse events and few serious nonocular events; none was judged as associated with atropine. Conclusions and Relevance: This randomized clinical trial found that 0.02% atropine did not significantly increase the proportion of participants' eyes responding to therapy but suggested efficacy for 0.01% atropine across all 3 main end points compared with placebo. The efficacy and safety observed suggest that low-dose atropine may provide a treatment option for childhood myopia progression. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03350620.
RESUMO
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused enormous public health and socioeconomic burden globally. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine (CM) against COVID-19. Eleven databases were searched on April 30, 2021, and 52 studies were included. The RoB 2.0, ROBINS-I, and GRADE tools were employed to assess the risks and evidence grades. The findings with moderate certainty in GRADE showed that compared with routine treatment (RT), Lianhua Qingwen granules (LHQW) adjunctive to RT showed significantly improved efficacy rate (relative risk (RR) = 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI): [1.09, 1.31]), febrile score (standard mean difference (SMD) = -1.21, 95% CI: [-1.43, -0.99]), and computerized tomography (CT) lung images (RR = 1.23, 95% CI: [1.10, 1.38]); Qingfei Paidu decoction (QFPD) plus RT significantly shortened the length of hospital stay (SMD = -1.83, 95% CI: [-2.18, -1.48]); Feiyan Yihao formula (FYYH) plus RT significantly improved the clinical efficacy rate (RR = 1.07, 95% CI: [1, 1.15]), febrile time (SMD = -0.02, 95% CI: [-0.23, 0.19]), and time to negative PCR test for COVID-19 (SMD = -0.72, 95% CI: [-0.94, -0.51]). Adjunctive effects of CM with lower certainty of evidence were found, including the improvements of symptoms, laboratory findings, and mortality. No or mild adverse events were observed in most of the studies. In conclusion, the current evidence indicates that CM formulae, particularly LHQW, QFPD, and FYYH, have adjunctive effects on the standard treatment of COVID-19.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been a preclinical and clinical concern due to high hospitalization rate and mortality. This study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) for AMI and exploring the possible mechanism of oxidative stress. Six databases were searched on March 26, 2021. Twenty-four studies were included and accessed by the RoB 2.0 or SYRCLE tool. Compared with routine treatment (RT), SBP showed the effectiveness in the clinical efficacy (RR = 1.15, 95% CI [1.06, 1.25]), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (SMD = 0.73, 95% CI [0.62, 0.95]), glutathione (GSH) (SMD = 2.07, 95% CI [1.51, 2.64]), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (SMD = 0.92, 95% CI [0.58, 1.26]), malondialdehyde (MDA) (SMD = -4.23, 95% CI [-5.80, -2.66]), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) (SMD = -4.98, 95% CI [-5.64, -4.33]), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) (SMD = -2.17, 95% CI [-2.57, -1.76]), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) (SMD = -1.34, 95% CI [-1.56, -1.12]), interleukin-6 (IL-6) (SMD = -0.99, 95% CI [-1.26, -0.71]), triglycerides (TG) (SMD = -0.52, 95% CI [-0.83, -0.22]), flow-mediated dilation (FMD) (SMD = 1.39, 95% CI [1.06, 1.72]), von Willebrand Factor (vWF) (SMD = -1.77, 95% CI [-2.39, -1.15]), nitric oxide (NO) (SMD = 0.89, 95% CI [0.65, 1.13]), and recurrent rate (RR = 0.30, 95% CI [0.15, 0.59]). But SBP adjunctive to RT plus PCI had no improvements in almost pooled outcomes except for the Hs-CRP (SMD = -1.19, 95% CI [-1.44, -0.94]) and TG (SMD = -0.25, 95% CI [-0.48, -0.02]). Laboratory findings showed that SBP enhanced the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and regulated laboratory indexes especially for homocysteine. In conclusion, SBP has adjunctive effects on AMI via the mechanism of antioxidative stress. The current evidence supports the use of SBP for mild and moderate AMI patients.

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22 is the fifth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of nearly 1900 human drug targets with an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. Although the Concise Guide constitutes over 500 pages, the material presented is substantially reduced compared to information and links presented on the website. It provides a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will survive database updates. The full contents of this section can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/bph.15538. G protein-coupled receptors are one of the six major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, catalytic receptors, enzymes and transporters. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading. The landscape format of the Concise Guide is designed to facilitate comparison of related targets from material contemporary to mid-2021, and supersedes data presented in the 2019/20, 2017/18, 2015/16 and 2013/14 Concise Guides and previous Guides to Receptors and Channels. It is produced in close conjunction with the Nomenclature and Standards Committee of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (NC-IUPHAR), therefore, providing official IUPHAR classification and nomenclature for human drug targets, where appropriate.

The cannabinoid receptors are G protein-coupled receptors activated by endocannabinoids or exogenous agonist such as tetrahydrocannabinol. Upon agonist binding, cannabinoid receptors will activate G proteins of the Gi family, which in turn inhibits adenylyl cyclase. Recently, inverse agonists and neutral antagonist for cannabinoid receptors have been discovered, demonstrating constitutive activity of the cannabinoid receptors. This chapter will discuss the current state of the art and provide a framework for evaluating constitutive receptor activity and distinguishing constitutive receptor activity from constitutive endogenous agonist tone.

Pharmacologic inhibition of the cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) in rodent models leads to weight loss and time-dependent changes in energy balance. This study evaluated the effects of CB1R inhibition on weight loss, energy expenditure (EE), and food intake (FI) in an obese canine model following 4 weeks of treatment. Eighteen maintenance-fed obese beagles were evenly and randomly allocated to a CB1R inverse agonist (AM251) (2 mg/kg), a 70% food-restricted (FR) diet, or a control group (C). Evaluations included body weight and composition (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan), EE (doubly labeled water), and FI. Change in body mass at week 4 was significantly greater (P < .050) in the AM251 (-1476.7 g) and FR groups (-1100.0 g) than in the C group (-228.3 g). Food intake was decreased from week 2 onward in the FR and AM251 groups (P < .05). Absolute and lean mass-adjusted EEs were decreased only in the FR group (P < .01); EE in the AM251 group was greater (P < .05) than that in the FR group. Pharmacologic inhibition of CB1R in a canine model led to sustained effects on FI and EE. Weight loss was greater with AM251 than could be accounted for by food restriction (â¼25%), an effect likely mediated by the EE response to CB1R inhibition.

Cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) play an important role in a variety of physiological functions and have been considered drug targets for obesity and psychiatric disorders. In particular, the CB1R is highly expressed in brain regions crucial to learning and memory processes, and several lines of evidence indicate that pharmacological blockade of this receptor could have therapeutic applications in the treatment of cognitive disorders. In this study, we investigated whether MK-7128 (0.1, 0.3, and 1 mg/kg, orally), a novel and selective CB1R inverse agonist, could improve learning and memory deficits induced by scopolamine (1 mg/kg, subcutaneously) in mice. The investigators also assessed CB1R occupancy in the brain to ensure target engagement of MK-7128, and showed that MK-7128 significantly improved both Y-maze spontaneous alternation and object habituation performance in scopolamine-treated mice and inhibits the binding of radioiodinated AM251 in murine cortex and hippocampus. These data indicate that MK-7128 improves cognitive performance in a model of cholinergic hypofunction and suggest that efficacy is achieved at relatively low levels of CB1R occupancy in the brain. Our results extend earlier findings suggesting a role of CB1Rs in the modulation of memory processes and a potential therapeutic application for CB1R inverse agonists in cognitive disorders.

The cannabinoid receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that are activated by endocannabinoids or exogenous agonists such as tetrahydrocannabinol. Upon agonist binding, cannabinoid receptors will activate Gi which in turn inhibits adenylyl cyclase. Recently, inverse agonists for the cannabinoid receptors have been identified, demonstrating constitutive activity of the cannabinoid receptors. Several methods have been used to measure inverse agonist activity of ligands for the cannabinoid receptors, including Gi-cAMP second messenger assay, GTPγS binding assay, and electrophysiological assays. Each assay has its advantages and limitations, and the Gi-cAMP second messenger assay appears to provide the best overall measurement of inverse agonism in a cellular environment.

We report an SAR study of MC4R analogs containing spiroindane heterocyclic privileged structures. Compound 26 with N-Me-1,2,4-triazole moiety possesses exceptional potency at MC4R and potent anti-obesity efficacy in a mouse model. However, the efficacy is not completely mediated through MC4R. Additional SAR studies led to the discovery of compound 32, which is more potent at MC4R. Compound 32 demonstrates MC4R mediated anti-obesity efficacy in rodent models.

The design, synthesis, and binding activity of ring constrained analogs of the acyclic cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) inverse agonist taranabant 1 are described. The initial inspiration for these taranabant derivatives was its conformation 1a, determined by (1)H NMR, X-ray, and molecular modeling. The constrained analogs were all much less potent than their acyclic parent structure. The results obtained are discussed in the context of a predicted binding of 1 to a homology model of CB1R.

Inhibition of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) has shown efficacy in reducing body weight and improving metabolic parameters, with the effects correlating with target engagement in the brain. The peripheral effects of inhibiting the CB1 receptor has been appreciated through studies in diet-induced obese and liver-specific CB1 knockout mice. In this article, we systematically investigated gene expression changes in peripheral tissues of diet-induced obese mice treated with the CB1 inverse agonist AM251 [1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)-4-methyl-N-(1-piperidyl)pyrazole-3-carboxamide]. CB1 receptor inhibition led to down-regulation of genes within the de novo fatty acid and cholesterol synthetic pathways, including sterol regulatory element binding proteins 1 and 2 and their downstream targets in both liver and adipose tissue. In addition, genes involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation were up-regulated with AM251 treatment, probably through the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha). In adipose tissue, CB1 receptor inhibition led to the down-regulation of genes in the tumor necrosis factor alpha signal transduction pathway and possibly to the activation of PPARgamma, both of which would result in improved insulin sensitivity.

This paper describes the discovery of N-[(4R)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (MK-5596, 12c) as a novel cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) inverse agonist for the treatment of obesity. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of lead compound 3, which had off-target hERG (human ether-a-go-go related gene) inhibition activity, led to the identification of several compounds that not only had attenuated hERG inhibition activity but also were subject to glucuronidation in vitro providing the potential for multiple metabolic clearance pathways. Among them, pyrazole 12c was found to be a highly selective CB1R inverse agonist that reduced body weight and food intake in a DIO (diet-induced obese) rat model through a CB1R-mediated mechanism. Although 12c was a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter, its high in vivo efficacy in rodents, good pharmacokinetic properties in preclinical species, good safety margins, and its potential for a balanced metabolism profile in man allowed for the further evaluation of this compound in the clinic.
