Riociguat versus sildenafil on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and ventilation/perfusion matching
2017
Introduction Current treatment with vasodilators for pulmonary hypertension associated with respiratory diseases is limited by their inhibitory effect on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) and uncoupling effects on ventilation-perfusion (V'/Q'). Hypoxia is also a well-known modulator of the nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and may therefore differentially affect the responses to phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) stimulators. So far, the effects of the sGC stimulator riociguat on HPV have been poorly characterized. Materials and methods Contraction was recorded in pulmonary arteries (PA) in a wire myograph. Anesthetized rats were catheterized to record …
Pelvic exenterations for primary rectal cancer: analysis from a 10-year national prospective database
2018
Aim: to identify short-term and oncologic outcomes of pelvic exenterations (PE) for locally advanced primary rectal cancer (LAPRC) in patients included in a national prospective database. Methods: few studies report on PE in patients with LAPRC. For this study, we included PE for LAPRC performed between 2006 and 2017, as available, from the Rectal Cancer Registry of the Spanish Association of Surgeons [Asociación Española de Cirujanos (AEC)]. Primary endpoints included procedure-associated complications, 5-year local recurrence (LR), disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). A propensity-matched comparison with patients who underwent non-exenterative surgery for low rectal canc…
The use of statins in people at risk of developing diabetes mellitus: Evidence and guidance for clinical practice
2014
Reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels using statins is associated with significant reductions in cardiovascular (CV) events in a wide range of patient populations. Although statins are generally considered to be safe, recent studies suggest they are associated with an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (T2D). This led the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to change their labelling requirements for statins to include a warning about the possibility of increased blood sugar and HbA1c levels and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to issue guidance on a small increased risk of T2D with the statin class. This review examines the evidence leading to these clai…

Enzimas de la biosíntesis del virus SARS-CoV-2 como dianas potenciales para el descubrimiento de nuevos antivirales
2021
La aparición de la pandemia producida por la COVID-19 (enfermedad producida por coronavirus 2019), cuyo agente causal es el SARS-CoV-2, ha provocado una gran preocupación a nivel mundial. Esta emergencia sanitaria ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad urgente que existe de desarrollar o bien una nueva vacuna o bien agentes terapéuticos antivirales que permitan combatir al SARS-CoV-2. El reposicionamiento de fármacos es una de las estrategias más rápidas y prácticas de identificar rápidamente nuevos fármacos que permitirían prevenir, controlar o incluso erradicar el virus. Encontrar agentes terapéuticos que actúen directamente sobre enzimas específicas que tengan un rol esencial en la replica…
The oral KIF11 inhibitor 4SC‐205 exhibits antitumor activity and potentiates standard and targeted therapies in primary and metastatic neuroblastoma …
2021
Inhibidor de KIF11; Terapias dirigidas; Metástasis Inhibidor de KIF11; Teràpies dirigides; Metàstasi KIF11 inhibitor; Targeted therapies; Metastasis In summary, our study provides a rationale for the future therapeutic integration in clinical trials of 4SC-205, an structurally distinct oral KIF11 inhibitor that shows potent antitumor activity in multiple preclinical neuroblastoma models and sensitizes neuroblastoma cells to standard chemotherapy and specific neuroblastoma-targeted therapies. The financial support for this research was provided by Instituto de Salud Calos III (PI20/00530 to Miguel F. Segura; PI20/01107 to Rosa Noguera; PI17/02248 and CPII18/00027 to Anna Santamaria; PI19/013…
Saving the pharmacy of the sea: How does global change affect species with bioactive potential in the Mediterranean?
2020
Several marine species in the Mediterranean produce molecules with bioactive potential that could be used to develop new drugs (antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and antitumourals). Different human activities such as pollution, marine recreation, and fishing, as well as climate change, threaten and even endanger some of these species. These vulnerable species with bioactive potential must be protected, especially in marine reserves, not only because they are valuable components of marine ecosystems, but also because they are a potential source of molecules with pharmacological properties that are currently being researched for the creation of new drugs.
