RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Ischemia can cause reversible or irreversible cell or tissue damage, and reperfusion after ischemia not only has no therapeutic effect but also aggravates cell damage. Notably, gut tissue is highly susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury under many adverse health conditions. Intestinal IR (IIR) is an important pathophysiological process in critical clinical diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to identify better therapeutic methods for relieving intestinal ischemia and hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygenation refers to the intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen in an environment greater than 1 atm pressure, which can better increase the oxygen level in the tissue and change the inflammatory pathway. Currently, it can have a positive effect on hypoxia and ischemic diseases. Related studies have suggested that hyperbaric oxygen can significantly reduce ischemia-hypoxic injury to the brain, spinal cord, kidney, and myocardium. This article reviews the pathogenesis of IR and the current treatment measures, and further points out that hyperbaric oxygen has a better effect in IR. We found that not only improved hypoxia but also regulated IR induced injury in a certain way. From the perspective of clinical application, these changes and the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy have important implications for treatment, especially IIR.

Itraconazole has been found to possess potent antiangiogenic activity, exhibiting promising antitumor activity in several human clinical studies. The wider use of itraconazole in the treatment of cancer, however, has been limited by its potent inhibition of the drug metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). In an effort to eliminate the CYP3A4 inhibition while retaining its antiangiogenic activity, we designed and synthesized a series of derivatives in which the 1,2,4-triazole ring is replaced with various azoles and nonazoles. Among these analogues, 15n with tetrazole in place of 1,2,4-triazole exhibited optimal inhibition of human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation with an IC50 of 73 nM without a significant effect on CYP3A4 (EC50 > 20 µM). Similar to itraconazole, 15n induced Niemann-Pick C phenotype (NPC phenotype) and blocked AMPK/mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling. These results suggest that 15n is a promising angiogenesis inhibitor that can be used in combination with most other known anticancer drugs.
