<ns3:p>Background As lung cancer treatment has progressed, there been an increase in awareness of the short- and long-term adverse effects targeted therapies tyrosine kinase inhibitors, particularly cardiovascular toxicities. Methods The current study assessed potential drug interactions using interaction drug-interaction checkers (IBM Micromedex Drugs.com). Molecular docking was employed to further investigate involvement human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) pregnane X receptor (PXR)...

Isoniazid is primarily metabolized by the arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NAT2 gene could classify an individual into three distinct phenotypes: rapid, intermediate and slow acetylators. SNPs acetylator phenotype have been implicated as risk factors for development of antitubercular drug-induced liver injury (AT-DILI) several tuberculosis (TB) populations. We conducted a prospective observational study to characterize compare SNPs,...

Purpose: A 28-year-old male reported to our hospital with Stevens–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) overlap syndrome that developed as an adverse drug reaction (ADR) allopurinol. HLA-B*58:01 allele is associated increased risk of developing allopurinol-induced SJS/TEN. Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. sequencing done using SANGER method. Results: Pharmacogenetic testing results revealed positive for allele. Symptoms the patient receded...

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a major respiratory disease globally with higher prevalence in Asian and African countries than rest of the world. With larger population tuberculosis patients anticipated to be co-infected COVID-19 infection, an ongoing pandemic, identifying, preventing managing drug–drug interactions inevitable for maximizing patient benefits current repurposed antitubercular drugs. Methods: We assessed potential between drugs using drug interaction checker IBM Micromedex®....
