Effect of laxatives and pharmacological therapies in chronic idiopathic constipation: systematic review and meta-analysis.
There has been no definitive systematic review and meta-analysis to date examining the effect of laxatives and pharmacological therapies in chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC).. To assess efficacy of these therapies systematically in CIC.. Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs).. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane central register of controlled trials were searched (up to September 2010).. Placebo-controlled trials of laxatives or pharmacological therapies in adult CIC patients were eligible. Minimum duration of therapy was 1 week. Trials had to report either a dichotomous assessment of overall response to therapy at last point of follow-up in the trial, or mean number of stools per week during therapy.. Symptom data were pooled using a random effects model. Effect of laxatives or pharmacological therapies compared to placebo was reported as RR of failure to respond to therapy, or a weighted mean difference (WMD) in mean number of stools per week, with 95% CIs.. Twenty-one eligible RCTs were identified. Laxatives (seven RCTs, 1411 patients, RR=0.52; 95% CI 0.46 to 0.60), prucalopride (seven trials, 2639 patients, RR=0.82; 95% CI 0.76 to 0.88), lubiprostone (three RCTs, 610 patients, RR=0.67; 95% CI 0.56 to 0.80), and linaclotide (three trials, 1582 patients, RR=0.84; 95% CI 0.80 to 0.87) were all superior to placebo in terms of a reduction in risk of failure with therapy. Treatment effect remained similar when only RCTs at low risk of bias were included in the analysis. Diarrhoea was significantly more common with all therapies.. Only two RCTs were conducted in primary care, and total adverse events data for laxatives and linaclotide were sparse.. Laxatives, prucalopride, lubiprostone and linaclotide are all more effective than placebo for the treatment of CIC.

Effects of a reactive oxygen species generator, napabucasin (BBI608), on tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics, and QT/QTc interval in healthy volunteers.
This study examined the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of napabucasin in healthy Asian and non-Asian participants and investigated the potential for QT/QTc interval prolongation. This five-part (A-E) study proceeded in a stepwise manner, unless stopping criteria were met. Parts A-D were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and included healthy Asian male and female and non-Asian male participants. PK parameters were measured following single-dose napabucasin (80-1200 mg) in the fasted or fed state (Part D). Potential QT/QTc interval prolongation was assessed using digital 12-lead electrocardiogram (Parts B and C). Part E was open-label, and examined the PK of single-dose napabucasin (240-720 mg) in healthy non-Asian males. Safety and tolerability were measured in Parts A-E. Changes from baseline in the Fridericia-corrected QT interval (ΔQTcF) and other electrocardiogram parameters were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. Napabucasin was well-tolerated across the study (n = 70), and no serious adverse events or significant safety issues were reported when administered with or without food. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events were diarrhea and abdominal pain, and these were mild in severity. No prolongation of the QTcF interval was reported following single-dose napabucasin (240-1200 mg) and changes in other cardiac parameters were negligible. The PK profile of napabucasin was consistent with earlier studies. Single-dose napabucasin was tolerated in healthy male and female participants, and no significant safety (including no QTcF prolongation) or tolerability issues were identified, irrespective of food intake. Clinical studies of napabucasin in advanced cancers are ongoing.

Safety and efficacy of abexinostat, a pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor, in non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia: results of a phase II study.
Histone deacetylase inhibitors are members of a class of epigenetic drugs that have proven activity in T-cell malignancies, but little is known about their efficacy in B-cell lymphomas. Abexinostat is an orally available hydroxamate-containing histone deacetylase inhibitor that differs from approved inhibitors; its unique pharmacokinetic profile and oral dosing schedule, twice daily four hours apart, allows for continuous exposure at concentrations required to efficiently kill tumor cells. In this phase II study, patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia received oral abexinostat at 80 mg BID for 14 days of a 21-day cycle and continued until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. A total of 100 patients with B-cell malignancies and T-cell lymphomas were enrolled between October 2011 and July 2014. All patients received at least one dose of study drug. Primary reasons for discontinuation included progressive disease (56%) and adverse events (25%). Grade 3 or over adverse events and any serious adverse events were reported in 88% and 73% of patients, respectively. The most frequently reported grade 3 or over treatment-emergent related adverse events were thrombocytopenia (80%), neutropenia (27%), and anemia (12%). Among the 87 patients evaluable for efficacy, overall response rate was 28% (complete response 5%), with highest responses observed in patients with follicular lymphoma (overall response rate 56%), T-cell lymphoma (overall response rate 40%), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (overall response rate 31%). Further investigation of the safety and efficacy of abexinostat in follicular lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma implementing a less dose-intense week-on-week-off schedule is warranted.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of prucalopride in men with chronic constipation.
Prucalopride is effective at alleviating symptoms of chronic constipation in women. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of 12 weeks of prucalopride treatment compared with placebo in men with chronic constipation.. This was a multicenter, stratified, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01147926). The primary end point was the proportion of patients with a mean of three or more spontaneous complete bowel movements (SCBMs) per week across the treatment period. Efficacy end points were assessed using daily electronic diaries, global assessment of the severity of constipation and efficacy of treatment, and Patient Assessment of Constipation-Symptoms (PAC-SYM) and Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) questionnaires.. In total, 374 patients were enrolled in the study. Significantly more patients achieved a mean of three or more SCBMs per week in the prucalopride group (37.9%) than in the placebo group (17.7%, P<0.0001). The proportion of patients rating their constipation treatment as "quite a bit" to "extremely" effective at the final on-treatment visit was 46.7 and 30.4% in the prucalopride and placebo groups, respectively. The difference between treatment groups was statistically significant (P<0.0001). The proportion of patients with an improvement of at least 1 point in PAC-QOL satisfaction subscale score was 52.7 and 38.8% in the prucalopride and placebo groups, respectively (P=0.0035). Prucalopride had a good safety profile and was well tolerated.. Prucalopride is effective, has a good safety profile, and is well tolerated for the treatment of men with chronic constipation.

Resveratrol dimer trans-ε-viniferin prevents rotaviral diarrhea in mice by inhibition of the intestinal calcium-activated chloride channel.
We previously identified, by a natural-product screen, resveratrol oligomers as inhibitors of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel. Here, we report the resveratrol dimer trans-ε-viniferin (TV) and tetramer r-2-viniferin (RV) as inhibitors of the intestinal calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) and demonstrate their antisecretory efficacy in a neonatal mouse model of rotaviral diarrhea. Short-circuit measurements show inhibition of CaCC current in the human colonic cell line HT-29 by TV and RV with IC Topics: Animals; Benzofurans; Chloride Channels; Diarrhea; HT29 Cells; Humans; Intestines; Male; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Resveratrol; Rotavirus; Rotavirus Infections; Stilbenes | 2018 |
Factors predictive of treatment-emergent adverse events of prucalopride: an integrated analysis of four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
This integrated analysis aimed to identify the factors associated with the most frequently re-ported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in Asian and non-Asian patients with chronic constipation (CC) who receive prucalopride or placebo over 12 weeks.. Pooled data from four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase III studies (NCT00488137, NCT00483886, NCT00485940, and NCT01116206) on pa-tients treated with prucalopride 2 mg or placebo were ana-lyzed. The associations between predictors and TEAEs were evaluated based on a logistic regression model.. Overall, 1,821 patients (Asian, 26.1%; non-Asian, 73.9%) were analyzed. Prucalopride treatment was significantly as-sociated with diarrhea, headache, and nausea (p<0.001), but not with abdominal pain, compared with placebo. Differ-ences in the prevalence of TEAEs between prucalopride and placebo decreased greatly after the first day of treatment. Compared with non-Asians, Asians were more likely to expe-rience diarrhea and less likely to develop abdominal pain, headache, and nausea. Prior laxative use, CC duration, and body weight were not predictive of any of these TEAEs. Con-clusions Prucalopride treatment was positively associated with diarrhea, headache, and nausea. Asian patients tended to have a higher frequency of diarrhea but lower frequencies of headache, abdominal pain, and nausea compared with non-Asians. (Gut Liver, 2015;9208-213).

Inhibition of enterotoxin-induced porcine colonic secretion by diarylsulfonylureas in vitro.
Muscle-stripped piglet colon was used to evaluate changes in short-circuit current (I(sc)) as an indicator of anion secretion. Mucosal exposure to Escherichia coli heat-stable (STa) or heat-labile enterotoxins (LT) stimulated I(sc) by 32 +/- 5 and 42 +/- 7 microA/cm(2), respectively. Enterotoxin-stimulated I(sc) was not significantly affected by either 4,4'-diaminostilbene-2, 2'-disulfonic acid or CdCl(2), inhibitors of Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels and ClC-2 channels, respectively. Alternatively, N-(4-methylphenylsulfonyl)-N'-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)urea (DASU-02), a compound that inhibits cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated Cl(-) secretion, reduced I(sc) by 29 +/- 7 and 34 +/- 11 microA/cm(2), respectively. Two additional diarylsulfonylurea (DASU)-based compounds were evaluated for their effects on enterotoxin-stimulated secretion. The rank order of potency for inhibition by these three closely related DASU structures was identical to that observed for human CFTR. The degree of inhibition by each of these compounds was similar for both STa and LT. The structure- and concentration-dependent inhibition shown indicates that CFTR mediates both STa- and LT-stimulated colonic secretion. Similar structure-dependent inhibitory effects were observed in forskolin-stimulated rat colonic epithelium. Thus DASUs compose a family of inhibitors that may be of therapeutic value for the symptomatic treatment of diarrhea resulting from a broad spectrum of causative agents across species.

Intestinal pathology in the dog induced by sublethal doses of amiodarone.
Amiodarone (A), an unique antiarrhythmic agent and amphiphilic drug, induces at sublethal doses dyslipidic storage in animals. The present work demonstrates a distinct intestinal pathology or "Malabsorption Syndrome" in the dog induced by A. Signs of intestinal pathology were observed in all animals receiving 100 mg/kg, but not in those receiving less than 50 mg/kg, after one month. The malabsorption syndrome was demonstrated by a dynamic study of lipid absorption and pathological lesions (partial villous atrophy and the accumulation of macrophages with dyslipidic inclusions.

[Effects and side effects of benzbromaron in the initial treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. Results of a field study on 3899 patients].
In a collective of 3899 out-patients, the effect of uric acid reduction of benzbromarone was tested. Ten days after beginning of treatment, a uric acid concentration of 5.1 to 5.7 mg/100 ml had been obtained. Three months after beginning of therapy, uric acid values were at 4.9 mg/100 ml, independently of age and sex. As side-effects were observed:diarrhoea in 1% (n = 41) of the treated patients, furthermore, 0,8% (n = 31) complained of gastro-intestinal trouble such as pressure over the stomach, nausea, sensation of fullness and epigastric pain. Only in 2 of the 3899 patients (0.05%) the appearance of a renal colic was observed.
