Clinical characteristics of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in non-human immunodeficiency virus infected children (PubMed, Zhonghua Er Ke Za Zhi)
Among the 59 pediatric patients, 34 cases (58%) were treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole monotherapy, 19 cases (32%) received combination therapy with micafungin, and 7 cases (12%) received combination therapy with clindamycin. Clinical manifestations and imaging findings lack specificity, and mNGS facilitates early diagnosis. The core treatment is trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, most children require respiratory support, and combination with low-dose glucocorticoids may improve prognosis.

ALAQ: Pharmacokinetic Study of Artemether-lumefantrine and Amodiaquine in Healthy Subjects (clinicaltrials.gov)
P1, N=8, Terminated, University of Oxford | N=16 --> 8 | Trial completion date: Aug 2026 --> Apr 2025 | Recruiting --> Terminated | Trial primary completion date: Aug 2026 --> Apr 2025; The decision was made due to the expired investigational drug and regulatory changes by the Thai FDA, along with increased importation costs. The research team and investigational drug sponsor agreed to seek approval for early project termination.

Artemisinin sensitizes triple negative breast cancer to immune checkpoint therapy through suppressing KEAP1-mediated PD-L1 degradation. (PubMed, Biochem Pharmacol)
Through a high-throughput screen of FDA-approved compounds, artemether (ART) emerged as a robust inducer of PD-L1 surface expression in multiple murine and human TNBC cell lines. Critically, in syngeneic TNBC mouse models, ART synergistically enhanced the antitumor efficacy of atezolizumab, promoting tumor regression and increasing intratumoral CD8+ T cell infiltration and cytotoxicity. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism by which ART upregulates PD-L1 through KEAP1 inhibition and establish ART as a promising pharmacological agent to improve the clinical outcomes of PD-L1 checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in TNBC.

Discovery of novel and potent harringtonine derivative P2 via systematic structure-activity Optimization: Semi-Synthesis, anti-leukemia activity, and mechanism study. (PubMed, Eur J Med Chem)
P2 exhibited a ∼10-fold increase in antiproliferative potency against human leukemic cell lines compared to homoharringtonine (HHT)...Our findings provide valuable insights to guide the future structural optimization of harringtonine derivatives. Furthermore, P2 has been identified as a promising anti-leukemic candidate and warrants further development.

Targeting FOXM1 regulates metabolic signatures through ROS-dependent JNK/Bmi1/Skp2 axis in human cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Moreover, thiostrepton treatment sensitized the CTCL cells to proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, promoting apoptosis and autophagy. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that FOXM1 targeting disrupts the metabolic status and stemness features of CTCL cells via JNK activation, thereby offering novel insights into potential therapeutic strategies for overcoming therapeutic challenges in CTCL.

Role of oral tetracyclines in preventing acneiform rash in patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors: a systematic review. (PubMed, Actas Dermosifiliogr)
Oral tetracyclines appear to reduce the incidence of all-grade acneiform rash or, alternatively, to decrease the incidence of high-grade rash. Preventive treatment for acneiform rash at the initiation of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy should therefore be considered. Further controlled trials are needed to confirm the efficacy of oral tetracyclines in preventing acneiform rash.

Homoharringtonine suppresses acute myeloid leukemia progression by orchestrating EWSR1 phase separation in an m6A-YTHDF2-dependent mechanism. (PubMed, Imeta)
In vivo, the anti-leukemic efficacy of HHT was significantly diminished upon EWSR1 knockdown, demonstrating that EWSR1 was required for therapeutic response. Collectively, these findings uncover a phase separation-centric mechanism by which HHT exerts anti-AML activity, establish the EWSR1-YTHDF2-m6A axis as a critical regulator of leukemia progression, and position EWSR1 as both a functional target and a predictive biomarker for optimizing HHT-based therapies.

Transcriptome-Guided Drug Repurposing Identifies Homoharringtonine (HHT) as a Candidate for Radiation-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis. (PubMed, Pharmaceutics)
This study highlights the value of computational drug repurposing platforms for accelerating therapeutic discovery. Further preclinical investigations are warranted to evaluate HHT's in vivo efficacy and clinical applicability in RPF.
