    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2025, 22 (3): 241-248.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240899
    Abstract919)      PDF(pc) (2553KB)(729)       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.

    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2025, 22 (8): 841-850.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20250170
    Abstract325)      PDF(pc) (3192KB)(653)       Save
    Objective To explore the effects of Shufeng Jiedu capsules (SFJD) on the humoral immune response in mice with non-lethal influenza A virus (H1N1) infection and the mechanisms using an in vitro model. Methods A mouse model of non-lethal H1N1 infection was established. Mice were randomly divided into the normal, PR8 model, positive drug oseltamivir-phosphate (27.5 mg·kg-1·d-1), SFJD medium-dose (1.144 g·kg-1·d-1), and SFJD high-dose groups (2.288 g·kg-1·d-1). Each group was then divided into five time-point subgroups: Days 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. The drug was administered by gavage from day 0 to day 4. At each time point, the mice were euthanized for sample collection. Lung and body weights were measured to calculate the lung index. Total IgA, IgM, and IgG in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected using a high-throughput liquid phase protein chip multiplex assay. H1N1-specific IgA, IgM, and IgG were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). On day 8, viral loads in lung tissues were assessed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR). Lung images were obtained using Micro-CT. The percentage of B cells in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was analyzed by flow cytometry. Human bronchi epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) were allocated into 6 groups: normal control, virus infection, positive drug (62.5 μmol·L-1), SFJD high-dose (15.6 μg·mL-1) and SFJD medium-dose (7.8 μg·mL-1). Murine lung epithelial-12 cells (MLE12) were divided into five groups: normal control, virus infection, positive drug (250 μmol·L-1), SFJD high-dose (62.5 μg·mL-1) and SFJD medium-dose (31.3 μg·mL-1). Western blot was employed to evaluate the impact of SFJD on expression levels of B cell activating factor (BAFF) in respiratory epithelial cells. Results SFJD reduced the lung index of H1N1 infected mice from day 4 to day 8 (P<0.05), viral load on day 8 (P<0.01), and alleviated inflammatory lesions. It increased the proportion of B cells in peripheral blood and lung tissues (P<0.01, P<0.001), decreased total IgA levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid on day 8, increased total IgM levels (P<0.01), and reduced specific IgA secretion on day 4 (P<0.0001) while promoting specific IgM (P<0.0001) and IgG (P<0.0001) secretion on day 8. SFJD also inhibited BAFF expression in respiratory epithelial cell lines (P<0.05, P<0.001). Conclusion Early administration of SFJD in case of H1N1 infection can restore the peripheral blood B cell proportion, promote their infiltration into lung tissues, enhance specific IgM and IgG secretion, and exert antiviral effects. Additionally, SFJD regulates the humoral immune response post-infection by inhibiting BAFF expression in respiratory epithelial cells and by preventing excessive B cell activation.

Results The revisions of the provisions fully reflected the current needs of regulation, aligned with the reality in monitoring and evaluation of ADR, and served as a strong force behind related monitoring. The central purpose of this revision was to meet the requirement that “the state establish a pharmacovigilance system” stipulated in the “Drug Administration Law”. Importance was attached to the compatibility between related regulations and guidelines, and efforts were made to ensure inheritance and innovation of the provisions. Revisions involved delimiting the range of reporting, optimizing the requirements for reporting, highlighting risk control, and strengthening supervision and management. Conclusion The revisions of the provisions have a long way to go, but are of great significance for pharmacovigilance in China for some time to come, and will usher China's pharmacovigilance into a new stage of development.

    Effect of Compound Paracetamol Tablets on Plasma Concentrations of Risperidone in Patients with Schizophrenia Complicated with a Cold
    LUO Jianchao, YANG Rong, FU Qiong, LI Jixian
    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2025, 22 (3): 292-296.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240513

    Objective To analyze the effect of compound paracetamol tablets on plasma concentrations of risperidone in patients with schizophrenia who had a cold. Methods The clinical data of 424 cold patients who received risperidone treatment in a hospital between June 1, 2019 and June 1, 2024 was retrospectively collected, 296 of whom had taken compound paracetamol alkane tablets while they had a cold and were assigned to the medication group. The rest of the patients who received no medication for their cold were included in the non-intervention group. The effects of colds and compound paracetamol tablets on high-level plasma concentrations of risperidone in these patients were analyzed. Results ①In the medication group, plasma concentrations of risperidone increased to varying degrees compared with the baseline (P <0.05).②The plasma concentrations of risperidone in both groups increased to varying extents compared with the baseline (P <0.05), especially in the medication group (P <0.05).③There was little difference in levels of risperidone between male and female patients ages 18 to 45 in the medication group (P >0.05), but the plasma concentrations of risperidone were higher in females than in males aged 46 to 60 (P <0.05).④There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions related to risperidone between the two groups (P >0.05), but more than half of the cases of adverse reactions occurred among patients with high concentrations of risperidone. Conclusion Colds may increase the plasma concentration of risperidone in patients with schizophrenia. Using compound paracetamol tablets can make matters worse among patients with a cold. It is recommended that blood concentrations be monitored and medication plans be adjusted when necessary.

    Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity Related to Regulation of Mitochondrial-Associated Membranes by PDK4
    SHI Yanlei, ZHANG Bing, WANG Yu, XU Zhuoxin, TIAN Min, MENG Min, SA Rina
    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2025, 22 (8): 863-868.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20250272
    Abstract1052)      PDF(pc) (1785KB)(553)       Save
    Objective To analyze the molecular mechanism through which PDK4 regulates Mitochondria-Associated Membranes(MAMs) and explore its potential association with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in order to provide data for developing cardioprotective strategies. Methods By reviewing recent literature, the role of PDK4 in MAMs and its potential involvement in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity was explored. Results There were complicated interactions between PDK4, MAMs, and anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, primarily manifested as energy metabolism disorders, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and calcium homeostasis imbalance. These interactions played a significant role in the progression of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Conclusion Overexpression of PDK4 can, above all, disrupt calcium homeostasis mediated by MAMs, leading to mitochondrial calcium overload and consequently exacerbating anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. This study can offer novel insights and help identify potential therapeutic targets for developing protective strategies against anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity.

    Uncertainty Evaluation for Determination of Ambroxol in Rat Plasma by UPLC-MS/MS Method
    JIN Shaoming, NING Xiao
    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2025, 22 (4): 381-385.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240851
    Abstract154)      PDF(pc) (1419KB)(518)       Save
    Objective To develop a method for the determination of ambroxol in rat plasma using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and to analyze the uncertainty associated with this method. Methods The sources of uncertainty in the process of establishing the UPLC-MS/MS method for determining ambroxol in rat plasma were analyzed and synthesized. Results The extended uncertainties at a low concentration (20 ng·mL-1) and at a high concentration (400 ng·mL-1) of ambroxol in rat plasma were 1.25 ng·mL-1 and 20.82 ng·mL-1, respectively (P=95%, k=2). Conclusion The uncertainty that arises from the determination of concentrations of ambroxol in rat plasma using the UPLC-MS/MS method is primarily introduced by standard curve fitting, solution preparation, and repeatability at low concentrations, and by the plasma recovery rate and matrix effects at high concentrations.
