An "On Demand" canakinumab regimen for treating children with Colchicine-Resistant familial Mediterranean fever - A multicentre study
CONCLUSION: For individuals with crFMF, COD compared to CFF policy can achieve similar efficacy and safety, with a lower accumulated canakinumab dose, rendering it less immunosuppressive and less expensive.PMID:38569431 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111967 (Source: International Immunopharmacology)

Prednisolone Versus Colchicine for Acute Gout in Primary Care: statistical analysis plan for the pragmatic, multicenter, randomized, and double-blinded COPAGO non-inferiority trial
To date, colchicine and prednisolone are two effective therapies for the treatment of acute gout but have never been compared directly in a randomized clinical trial. In addition, in previous trials of treatin... (Source: Trials)

Tobacco smoke condensate-induced senescence in endothelial cells was ameliorated by colchicine treatment via suppression of NF- κB and MAPKs P38 and ERK pathways activation
Smoking is the major cause of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. It induces oxidative stress, leading to DNA damage and cellular senescence. Senescent cells increase the expression and release of pro-inflamma... (Source: Cell Communication and Signaling)

High systemic inflammation as a novel cardiovascular risk factor and target for anti-cytokine therapy: comment regarding the triglyceride glucose index
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2024 Apr 1. doi: 10.1007/s10554-024-03046-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the last century, there has been more than enough research that proved the association of high lipid and glucose levels with cardiovascular disease, thus establishing the current well-known traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Hence, these cardiovascular risk factors are target therapy for glucose and lipid-lowering agents to prevent adverse cardiovascular events. However, despite controlling the lipid and glucose levels, some studies demonstrated the subclinical...

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new 2,6-difluorinated phenyl 4-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonates as new antimicrotubule agents
In this study, we evaluated the effect of the difluorination of the aromatic ring bearing the imidazolidin-2-one moiety (ring A) at positions 3, 5 and 2, 6 on their antiproliferative activity on four cancer cell lines, their ability to disrupt the microtubules and their toxicity toward chick embryos. We thus synthesized, characterized and biologically evaluated 24 new difluorinated PIB-SO derivatives designated as phenyl 3,5-difluoro-4-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonates (3,5-PFB-SOs, 4-15) and phenyl 2,6-difluoro-4-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonates (2,6-PFB-SOs, 16-27). The concentration of the drug required...

Role of Colchicine in Cardiovascular Disease Management
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2024 Mar 21. doi: 10.1161/ATVBAHA.124.319851. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColchicine-an anti-inflammatory alkaloid-has assumed an important role in the management of cardiovascular inflammation ≈3500 years after its first medicinal use in ancient Egypt. Primarily used in extremely high doses for the treatment of acute gout flares during the 20th century, research in the early 21st century demonstrated that low-dose colchicine effectively treats acute gout attacks, lowers the risk of recurrent pericarditis, and can even add to secondary prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events.
