    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2025, 22 (3): 241-248.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240899
    Abstract816)      PDF(pc) (2553KB)(675)       Save
    Objective To identify druggable targets for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), evaluate their safety, and to predict the traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) that can regulate these druggable targets for IDD. Methods Data on expression quantitative trait loci of druggable genes was retrieved from the eQTLGen Consortium as exposures, while data on IDD genome-wide association study was downloaded from the GWAS Catalog to serve as outcomes for Mendelian randomization analysis intended to identify potential IDD therapeutic targets. Enrichment analyses were conducted on druggable genes related to IDD. The data on protein quantitative trait loci of druggable genes related to IDD was retrieved from the FinnGen database to validate the efficacy of these genes. A phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) via the PheWAS Portal was conducted to assess drug safety. The BATMAN-TCM 2.0 and ETCM 2.0 platforms were used to mine TCM components and analyze medication patterns. Potential lead compounds were identified through molecular docking of targets and TCM components on the CB-Dock 2 platform. Results 35 TCMs, including Corydalis yanhusuo W. T. Wang., Morinda officinalis How., and Artemisia argyi Lévl. et Vant., were found to treat IDD by regulating three druggable targets-ZP3, RRM2B, and CCL4, through their 20 active components. Gene expression MR indicated that 248 druggable genes were causally related to IDD, and enrichment analyses showed that these genes were associated with cytokine activities and cellular senescence. Protein MR validated six of these genes as druggable targets for IDD. PheWAS revealed no significant adverse effects associated with the aforementioned druggable targets. Molecular docking results showed good binding activity between the TCM components and the druggable targets, with the best binding energy of -10.2 kcal·mol-1. Conclusion Such genes as ZP3, RRM2B, and CCL4 are potential therapeutic targets for IDD with good safety profiles. TCMs like Morinda officinalis How., Corydalis yanhusuo W. T. Wang., and Artemisia argyi Lévl. et Vant. can treat IDD through these druggable targets, and their active components, such as Xanthosine, are potential compounds for new drug development.

    Objective To analyze the adverse drug events (ADE) caused by levothyroxine sodium tablets to provide a reference for rational and safe clinical use. Methods The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was searched to retrieve the ADE data on the primarily suspected drug collected from the first quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2023. The reporting odds ratio (ROR)、proportional reporting ratio (PRR), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCNPP) and multi-item gamma poisson shrinker (MGPS) methods were used to screen for effective signals of ADEs of drugs. Results A total of 271 356 ADEs related to levothyroxine tablets as the primary suspect were reported. Most of the people involved were women (198 219, 73.05%) and the patients ranged from 18 to 85 in age (62.46%). A total of 5 991 adverse events of levothyroxine sodium tablets were mined, 3 371 signals were obtained after excluding non-drug adverse event signals, and 20 organ systems were found to be involved. Fatigue (22 511 items), nausea (17 591 items), diarrhea (16 400 items), headache (15 043 items) and dyspnea (12 866 items)were the top five ADEs reported.Analysis showed that neonatal gangrene (ROR=267.57, IC025=4.66), bronchiolithiasis (ROR=187.30, IC025=267.57), homophonic association (ROR=107.03, IC025=267.57), increased trans-triiodothyronine (ROR=89.19, IC025=4.42), and decreased free thyroxine indexes (ROR=80.27, IC025=4.38)were the top five ADEs in terms of intensities of signals. Based on secondary screening, the top three PTs related to the neonatal risk signal intensity were neonatal gangrene, neonatal intestinal dilation, and neonatal thyrotoxicosis. The top three PTs regarding the stone risk signal intensity were bronchial stones, cerebral stones, and staghorn stones. A total of 146 signals that were not recorded in the instructions were found, which were mostly manifested in various examinations, gastrointestinal system diseases, infections and invasive diseases, nervous system diseases, benign and malignant tumors of unknown nature. Conclusion Levothyroxine sodium tablets can potentially cause such ADRs as calculuses, infections and secondary tumors in patients with hypothyroidism. Clinical multidisciplinary follow-up is recommended for patients taking levothyroxine sodium tablets.

    YAN Caiying, QIN Linying, XU Yaoqing, WANG Xinge, CHAI Nannan, CHEN Long
    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2025, 22 (5): 592-595.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240857
    Abstract593)      PDF(pc) (1222KB)(183)       Save
    Objective To explore the research progress in uric acid-lowering drugs so as to provide a reference for their clinical applications. Methods By accessing the official websites of the National Medical Products Administration, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database and PubMed, information was collected on the safety of uric acid-lowering drugs, including urate transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitors, xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors and exogenous uricase, which were used in the treatment of chronic gout between April 1, 2014, and September 1, 2024. In addition, the key information on 27 uric acid-lowering drugs currently under development was analyzed using the Cortellis platform. Results The adverse reactions of URAT1 inhibitors mostly involved the digestive system, manifested as liver function abnormalities. The adverse reactions caused by XO inhibitors and exogenous uric acid oxidases primarily manifested themselves as skin and mucous membrane damage and blood system damage, such as immunogenic reactions and serious cardiovascular events. The targets of action for most of the currently-developed anti-gout drugs were URAT1 inhibitors, which increased the excretion of uric acid while reducing the incidence of gout. Conclusion Although three types of drugs are usually used for the treatment of chronic gout, the potential adverse reactions remain a concern. Future research and development of anti-gout drugs should focus on dual-target or new-target drugs with unique advantages in order to offer more options for the clinical treatment of patients.

    CHEN Siyi, SHENG Lisong, SUN Rong
    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2024, 21 (12): 1321-1328.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240700
    Abstract489)      PDF(pc) (1661KB)(401)       Save
    Objective To review the recent applications of “target fishing” technique in the fields of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in recent years in order to contribute to overcoming the bottleneck of TCM modernization caused by the complexity of TCM components and the uncertainty of target components. Methods Literature on “target fishing” techniques in the field of TCM in the past 15 years was searched. Research methods involved in the commonly used “target fishing” techniques were summarized. The strengths and weaknesses of these techniques in revealing the action or toxicity targets of TCM components were analyzed. Results “Target fishing” techniques applied in the field of TCM were mostly based on “affinity fishing”, which was often used in conjunction with liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and other technologies for direct target research of TCM potent or toxic components on the basis of a clear mechanism of affinity fishing and toxicity. It was difficult to apply this technique to small molecules with close conformational relationships or to perform rapid and unbiased protein target identification for complex TCM systems. The interpretation of TCM theories in existing studies remained weak, and there was a lack of in-depth integration with TCM theories in subsequent validation studies or in-depth excavation. Conclusion The “target fishing” technique offers novel insights and methodologies for elucidating the molecular-level mechanisms of TCM action. This study proposes a research strategy for investigating the effects and toxicity of TCM, which should be thoroughly explored within the framework of TCM theories and substantiated from comprehensive system-level perspectives. The“target fishing” technique provides references for integrated evaluation of the “effect-toxicity” of TCM.

    Objective To examine the real-world clinical medications for pediatric and adolescent patients with depressive disorders, analyze the usage of drugs, and provide references for rational prescriptions. Methods The demographic characteristics, types of drugs used, treatment regimens, and adverse drug reactions among pediatric and adolescent patients with depressive disorders treated at psychological clinic of Fujian Energy General Hospital between 2019 and 2023 were analyzed. Results A total of 2 550 prescriptions for pediatric and adolescent depression patients were collected, involving 14 597 prescriptions for Western medicines and 46 583 drug entries. The majority of patients were aged 16 to 18, who far outnumbered those in groups ages 10 to 12 and 13 to 15. The average age of patients declined over time, with females outnumbering males. The five most commonly prescribed psychiatric medications were sertraline, alprazolam, quetiapine, olanzapine, and aripiprazole. The treatment approach primarily involved polypharmacy (more than 80%), with the most common regimens being antidepressant + antipsychotic (30.81%), and antidepressant + antipsychotic + sedative-hypnotic or anxiolytic (26.69%). Adverse drug reactions included gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic and nutritional disturbances, and psychiatric symptoms. Conclusion Antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are the mainstay of treatments for pediatric and adolescent depression in outpatient settings. Sertraline is the most commonly prescribed despite its declining usage. The typical treatment regimen involves a single antidepressant, often combined with benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotics and atypical antipsychotics.
