  • Fructose As an Endogenous Toxin
    HEPATOCYTE MOLECULAR CYTOTOXIC MECHANISM STUDY OF FRUCTOSE AND ITS METABOLITES INVOLVED IN NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS AND HYPEROXALURIA By Yan (Cynthia) Feng A thesis submitted in the conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Yan (Cynthia) Feng 2010 ABSTRACT HEPATOCYTE MOLECULAR CYTOTOXIC MECHANISM STUDY OF FRUCTOSE AND ITS METABOLITES INVOLVED IN NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS AND HYPEROXALURIA Yan (Cynthia) Feng Master of Science, 2010 Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences University of Toronto High chronic fructose consumption is linked to a nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) type of hepatotoxicity. Oxalate is the major endpoint of fructose metabolism, which accumulates in the kidney causing renal stone disease. Both diseases are life-threatening if not treated. Our objective was to study the molecular cytotoxicity mechanisms of fructose and some of its metabolites in the liver. Fructose metabolites were incubated with primary rat hepatocytes, but cytotoxicity only occurred if the hepatocytes were exposed to non-toxic amounts of hydrogen peroxide such as those released by activated immune cells. Glyoxal was most likely the endogenous toxin responsible for fructose induced toxicity formed via autoxidation of the fructose metabolite glycolaldehyde catalyzed by superoxide radicals, or oxidation by Fenton’s hydroxyl radicals. As for hyperoxaluria, glyoxylate was more cytotoxic than oxalate presumably because of the formation of condensation product oxalomalate causing mitochondrial toxicity and oxidative stress. Oxalate toxicity likely involved pro-oxidant iron complex formation. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to dedicate this thesis to my family. To my parents, thank you for the sacrifices you have made for me, thank you for always being there, loving me and supporting me throughout my life.

  • Severe Child Form of Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 2
    Konkoľová et al. BMC Medical Genetics (2017) 18:59 DOI 10.1186/s12881-017-0421-8 CASE REPORT Open Access Severe child form of primary hyperoxaluria type 2 - a case report revealing consequence of GRHPR deficiency on metabolism Jana Konkoľová1,2*, Ján Chandoga1,2, Juraj Kováčik3, Marcel Repiský2, Veronika Kramarová2, Ivana Paučinová3 and Daniel Böhmer1,2 Abstract Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 2 is a rare monogenic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. It results from the absence of the enzyme glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase (GRHPR). As a consequence of deficient enzyme activity, excessive amounts of oxalate and L-glycerate are excreted in the urine, and are a source for the formation of calcium oxalate stones that result in recurrent nephrolithiasis and less frequently nephrocalcinosis. Case presentation: We report a case of a 10-month-old patient diagnosed with urolithiasis. Screening of inborn errors of metabolism, including the performance of GC/MS urine organic acid profiling and HPLC amino acid profiling, showed abnormalities, which suggested deficiency of GRHPR enzyme. Additional metabolic disturbances observed in the patient led us to seek other genetic determinants and the elucidation of these findings. Besides the elevated excretion of 3-OH-butyrate, adipic acid, which are typical marks of ketosis, other metabolites such as 3- aminoisobutyric acid, 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid, 3-hydroxypropionic acid and 2-ethyl-3-hydroxypropionic acids were observed in increased amounts in the urine. Direct sequencing of the GRHPR gene revealed novel mutation, described for the first time in this article c.454dup (p.Thr152Asnfs*39) in homozygous form. The frequent nucleotide variants were found in AGXT2 gene.

  • Rxoutlook® 4Th Quarter 2020
    ® RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 optum.com/optumrx a RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 While COVID-19 vaccines draw most attention, multiple “firsts” are expected from the pipeline in 1Q:2021 Great attention is being given to pipeline drugs that are being rapidly developed for the treatment or prevention of SARS- CoV-19 (COVID-19) infection, particularly two vaccines that are likely to receive emergency use authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the near future. Earlier this year, FDA issued a Guidance for Industry that indicated the FDA expected any vaccine for COVID-19 to have at least 50% efficacy in preventing COVID-19. In November, two manufacturers, Pfizer and Moderna, released top-line results from interim analyses of their investigational COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer stated their vaccine, BNT162b2 had demonstrated > 90% efficacy. Several days later, Moderna stated their vaccine, mRNA-1273, had demonstrated 94% efficacy. Many unknowns still exist, such as the durability of response, vaccine performance in vulnerable sub-populations, safety, and tolerability in the short and long term. Considering the first U.S. case of COVID-19 was detected less than 12 months ago, the fact that two vaccines have far exceeded the FDA’s guidance and are poised to earn EUA clearance, is remarkable. If the final data indicates a positive risk vs. benefit profile and supports final FDA clearance, there may be lessons from this accelerated development timeline that could be applied to the larger drug development pipeline in the future. Meanwhile, drug development in other areas continues. In this edition of RxOutlook, we highlight 12 key pipeline drugs with potential to launch by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
