Drug therapy

Drug therapy to achieve the recommended target blood pressure remains the cornerstone of the management of hypertension. Today, there are strong evidences from randomized controlled trials that antihypertensive drugs are more effective than placebo at reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.

The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is established as a causative agent of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and lowering plasma LDL-C levels represents the main approach to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Statins remain the cornerstone of drug therapy for dyslipidemia.

Intracranial infection (abscess) - usually staphylococci or streptococci. Cranial surgery performed to open and drain abscess. Epilepsy - Cranial surgery to remove the epileptic focus for patients whose epilepsy cannot be controlled by drug therapy. Skull fractures - for depressed fracture or fracture with loose fragments. Cranial surgery necessary to elevate depressed bone and/or remove fragments.

The HIV-1 proteinase (PR) has proved to be a good target for antiretroviral therapy of AIDS, and various PR inhibi-tors are now in clinical use. However, there is a rapid selec-tionof viral variantsbearingmutations in theproteinase that are resistant to clinical inhibitors. Drug resistance also involves mutations of the nucleocapsid/p1 and p1/p6 clea-vage sites ofGag, bothin vitroandin vivo.

Numerous adhesion molecules have been described, and the molecular mechanisms of lymphocyte trafficking across the endothelium is starting to be elucidated. Identification of the molecules involved in the organoselec-tivity of this process would help in the targeting of drug therapy to specific tissues. Adhesion-regulating molecule-1 (ARM-1) is an adhesion-regulating molecule previously identified on T cells. It does not belong to any known families of adhesion molecules.

The spontaneous acquisition of resistance to a variety of unrelated cytotoxic compounds has important implications in medical treatment of infectious diseases and anticancer therapy. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaethis pheno-menon is caused by overexpression of membrane efflux pumps and is called pleiotropic drug resistance. We have found that allelic forms of the genes for the transcription activators Pdr1p and Pdr3p, designated PDR1-12and PDR3-33,respectively, mediate resistance to diazaborine....

Anti-poxvirus therapies are currently limited to cidofovir [(S)-1-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)cytosine], but drug-resistant strains have already been characterized. In the aim of finding a new target, the thymidy-late (TMP) kinase from vaccinia virus, the prototype of Orthopoxvirus, has been overexpressed inEscherichia coliafter cloning the gene (A48R).

Endogenous and exogenous opiates are currently considered the drugs of choice for treating different kinds of pain. However, their prolonged use produces several adverse symptoms, and in addition, many forms of pain are resistant to any kind of therapy.

Pyrimidine biosynthesis enzymes function in many cellular processes and are closely associated with pyrimidine antagonists used in cancer chemo-therapy. These enzymes are well characterized from bacteria to mammals, but not in a simple metazoan. To study the pyrimidine biosynthesis path-way inCaenorhabditis elegans, we screened for mutants exhibiting resis-tance to the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).

Metronidazole (MTZ) is widely used in combination therapies against the human gastric pathogenHelicobacter pylori. Resistance to this drug is com-mon among clinical isolates and results from loss-of-function mutations in rdxA, which encodes an oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase. The RdxA-associated MTZ-reductase activity ofH. pyloriis lost upon cell disruption. Here we provide a mechanistic explanation for this phenomenon.

Multidrug resistance is a major challenge in the therapy of cancer and pathogenic fungal infections. More than three decades ago, P-glycoprotein was the first identified multidrug transporter. It has been studied exten-sively at the genetic and biochemical levels ever since. Pdr5, the most abun-dant ATP-binding cassette transporter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae,is highly homologous to azole-resistance-mediating multidrug transporters in fungal pathogens, and a focus of clinical drug resistance research. ...

HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) has two associated activities, DNA poly-merase and RNase H, both essential for viral replication and validated drug targets. Although all RT inhibitors approved for therapy target DNA poly-merase activity, the search for new RT inhibitors that target the RNase H function and are possibly active on RTs resistant to the known non-nucleoside inhibitors (NNRTI) is a viable approach for anti-HIV drug development.
