Potential pharmacological effect of Quercetin Phytosome™ in the management of hyperuricemia: results from real-life clinical studies by Francesco Di Pierro, Francesco Di Pierro, Francesco Di Pierro, Fazle Rabbani, Meherullah Tareen, Roohi Nigar, Amjad Khan, Nicola Zerbinati, Maria L. Tanda, Massimiliano Cazzaniga, Alexander Bertuccioli, Alexander Bertuccioli, Paolo Falasca, Gabriele Damiani, Nicola Villanova

“…BackgroundHyperuricemia is associated with several metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, and traditional treatments, such as xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors, often have limitations, such as severe hypersensitivity reactions or ineffectiveness in achieving target serum urate levels in some patients. Quercetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, has shown potential as a hypouricemic agent through XO inhibition.ObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate the potential hypouricemic effect of Quercetin Phytosome™ (QP) supplementation across three cohort studies involving healthy adults with various metabolic health profiles, exploring its potential as a safe, effective intervention for hyperuricemia.MethodsClinical data collected in various clinics in Italy between September 2021 and April 2024 under real-life clinical settings from three distinct cohort studies, were analyzed. …”

PD-L1/TLR7 dual-targeting nanobody-drug conjugate mediates potent tumor regression via elevating tumor immunogenicity in a host-expressed PD-L1 bias-dependent way by Wei Huang, Ji Zhou, Jia Li, Yakun Wan, Chao Hu, Meng Liu, Pan Xu, Feng Tang, Jianhua Sun, Xiaolu Yu, Yiru Long, Binfan Chen, Yongliang Tong, Mengwen Shan, Xiaomin Jia, Henglei Lu, Runqiu Chen, Jin Ren, Guangyi Jin, Likun Gong

“…After coupling to form dual-targeting NDCs, TLR7 agonists and PD-L1 nanobodies exerted synergistic antitumor effects and safety in either ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ tumor and early or advanced tumor models, reshaped the tumor immune microenvironment and induced antitumor immune memory. CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells were the main effector cells for NDCs to function. …”
