Glyceryl Trinitrate Enhances Caffeine Cytotoxicity Under Metabolic Stress in Cancer Cells. (PubMed, Molecules)
Nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate, GTN), a nitric oxide donor, and 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), a glycolysis inhibitor, have individually demonstrated anticancer potential through modulation of cellular metabolism and redox balance. Nevertheless, these findings should be considered exploratory and hypothesis-generating because target expression, enzymatic activity, and pathway activation were not experimentally validated. Overall, the results suggest that GTN enhances caffeine-induced cytotoxicity under metabolically stressed conditions through combined metabolic and redox perturbation, although the magnitude of the response depends on cellular context and warrants further mechanistic investigation.

Inhibiting astrocyte activation is effective in triptan-induced medication-overuse headache model and prolonged hyperalgesia. (PubMed, Headache)
Our findings demonstrate that sustained astrocyte activation in TNC is a potential driver of prolonged hyperalgesia in triptan-induced MOH. Inhibiting astrocyte activity effectively reverses behavioral and molecular markers of MOH, highlighting astrocyte inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for MOH.

Malignant Extra-adrenal Paraganglioma of the Bladder: A Rare Clinical Entity. (PubMed, Cureus)
Intraoperative hypertensive crisis (blood pressure (BP) 224/120 mmHg) was managed with nitroglycerin infusion...Radical surgery with meticulous perioperative hemodynamic control is the cornerstone in recurrent/metastatic disease. Lifelong follow-up with imaging and biochemical surveillance is mandatory.

Protective Effects of Riociguat Against Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: An Experimental and Machine Learning-Based Study in Rats. (PubMed, Kaohsiung J Med Sci)
The apoptotic index and nitric oxide were identified as dominant predictors, indicating mechanistic relevance but limited clinical screening utility because these predictors require histological assessment. Overall, riociguat demonstrated significant renoprotective effects through anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative mechanisms, and machine learning provided hypothesis-generating insight rather than a clinically deployable predictive model.
