Association of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Hyperkalemia in Hemodialysis-dependent Chronic Kidney Disease Patients by Ashutosh Soni, Jagdish Vishnoi, Kamlesh Bhatt, Kalu Ram Sharma, Akanksha Shukla

“…The mean serum potassium in the iPTH >300 pg/mL group was 6.33 mEq/L. 90.9% of the participants in the group iPTH: ≤300 pg/mL had serum potassium: ≤5.5 mEq/L while 88.0% of the participants in the group iPTH: >300 pg/mL had serum potassium: >5.5 mEq/L. There was a strong positive correlation between iPTH and serum potassium, and this correlation was statistically significant (rho = 0.72, P ≤ 0.001). …”

Structure–Activity Relationship Studies of Tetracyclic Pyrrolocarbazoles Inhibiting Heterotetrameric Protein Kinase CK2 by Lukas Kröger, Sebastian Borgert, Miriam Lauwers, Michaela Steinkrüger, Joachim Jose, Markus Pietsch, Bernhard Wünsch

“…The introduction of larger substituents at the 2-position and/or at <i>p</i>-position of the phenyl moiety at the 10-position to increase the surface for the inhibition of the PPI did not enhance the inhibition of the CK2α/CK2β association. The strong inhibition of the CK2α/CK2β association by the histidine derivative (+)-<b>20a</b> (<i>K</i>_i = 6.1 µM) translated into a high inhibition of the kinase activity of the CK2 holoenzyme (CK2α₂β₂, IC₅₀ = 2.5 µM). …”
