Assessment of the inhibitory potential of tenofovir ester conjugates against α-glucosidase activity using in-vitro and in-silico methods
Background: Alpha-glucosidase is an essential enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, responsible for hydrolyzing disaccharides into monosaccharides (glucose). Inhibition of this enzyme is an effective approach to control postprandial hypergl...

The effect of alternating use of enteric-coated aspirin and clopidogrel on gastrointestinal symptoms and patient compliance in elderly patients with coronary heart disease
Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is essential for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD), but gastrointestinal (GI) intolerance often leads elderly patients to self-reduce the dose or discontinue medication. Ob...

Adjunctive heat-clearing Chinese patent medicines for pediatric acute upper respiratory tract infection: A network meta-analysis
Background: Oral heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) are frequently added to conventional therapy for pediatric acute upper respiratory tract infection (AURTI), but comparative evidence among products is sparse....

Therapeutic role of norepinephrine infusion and 28-day mortality in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A pharmaco-epidemiological cohort study with overlap weighting
Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is frequently complicated by hemodynamic instability and impaired cerebral perfusion, which may require vasoactive support. However, the association between norepinephrine (NE) exposu...

Reserpine, a lipophilic indole alkaloid derived from Rauwolfia, targets ABCB1 to overcome docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer
Background: Overexpression of ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) is a major driver of docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer. Thus, identifying effective agents that specifically target ABCB1 is essential for overcoming c...

Early and late suppression of Toll-like receptor 4 signaling induces distinct changes in a nephrotoxicant-induced mouse model of acute kidney injury
Background: Many essential genes in different signaling pathways are significantly expressed in a stress- and time-dependent manner after acute kidney injury (AKI). Despite their traditional role in driving inflammation, TLR activation i...
