Antidiabetic, Antihypertensive and Statin Medication Use in Metabolic Syndrome

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterised by a cluster of metabolic risk factors, which eventually increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of the current study was to investigate medication use in outpatient communities with respect to the occurrence of these metabolic risk factors as defined by ATPIII.

A Pharmacokinetic Analysis and Pharmacogenomic Study of 6-mercaptopurine

Background: The efficacy and safety of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) therapy rely on the concentration of its metabolites. The aim of the current study is the pharmacokinetic analysis of 6-MP and the detection of its metabolites as well as the role of Thiopurine S-methyl transferase (TPMT), the enzyme associated with 6-MP metabolism, as a pharmacogenomics biomarker.

Heat Shock Protein 90 c-Terminal Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is 90 kDa highly conserved dimeric chaperone protein in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and it is localized in different parts of the cell. Hsp90AA1 (inducible) and Hsp90AB1 (constitutive) are available in the cytosol; Grp94 and TRAP1 exist in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria; respectively. In unstressed cells, expression level of Hsp90 corresponds to 1-2% of total cellular protein, and Hsp90 is responsible for protein folding, maintenance and degradation of misfolded proteins, cell cycle control, and cellular signaling.
