N-[5-(4-bromophenyl)-6-{2-[(5-bromopyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]ethoxy}pyrimidin-4-yl]aminosulfonamide
Aprocitentan, sold under the brand name Tryvio, is a medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).[1] It is developed by Idorsia.[2] It is taken by mouth.[1]
Aprocitentan is a dual endothelin-1 antagonist that targets both endothelin A and endothelin B receptors.[3][4]
Aprocitentan was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2024.[1][2][5] It is the first endothelin receptor antagonist to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat systemic hypertension.[2]
Medical uses
Aprocitentan is indicated for the treatment of hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, to lower blood pressure in adults who are not adequately controlled on other medications.[1]
Adverse effects
Aprocitentan may cause hepatotoxicity (liver damage), edema (fluid retention), anemia (reduced hemoglobin), and decreased sperm count.[1]
Contraindications
Data from animal reproductive toxicity studies with other endothelin-receptor agonists indicate that use is contraindicated in pregnant women.[1]
Mechanism of action
Aprocitentan is an endothelin receptor agonist that inhibits the protein endothelin-1 from binding to endothelin A and endothelin B receptors.[1][4] Endothelin-1 mediates various adverse effects via its receptors, such as inflammation, cell proliferation, fibrosis, and vasoconstriction.[1]
Society and culture
Economics
Aprocitentan is developed by Idorsia, which sold it to Janssen and purchased the rights back in 2023, for US$343 million.[6]
Legal status
Aprocitentan was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2024.[1]
In April 2024, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Jeraygo, intended for the treatment of resistant hypertension in adults.[7] The applicant for this medicinal product is Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Deutschland GmbH.[7]

Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefepime has an extended spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with greater activity against both types of organism than third-generation agents. A 2007 meta-analysis suggested when data of trials were combined, mortality was increased in people treated with cefepime compared with other β-lactam antibiotics.[1] In response, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) performed their own meta-analysis which found no mortality difference.[2]
Cefepime was patented in 1982 by Bristol-Myers Squibb and approved for medical use in 1994.[3] It is available as a generic drug and sold under a variety of trade names worldwide.[citation needed][4]
It was removed from the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines in 2019.[5]
Medical use
Cefepime is usually reserved to treat moderate to severe nosocomial pneumonia, infections caused by multiple drug-resistant microorganisms (e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and empirical treatment of febrile neutropenia.[6]
Cefepime has good activity against important pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and multiple drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. A particular strength is its activity against Enterobacteriaceae. Whereas other cephalosporins are degraded by many plasmid– and chromosome-mediated beta-lactamases, cefepime is stable and is a front-line agent when infection with Enterobacteriaceae is known or suspected.[medical citation needed]
Spectrum of bacterial susceptibility
Cefepime is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic and has been used to treat bacteria responsible for causing pneumonia and infections of the skin and urinary tract. Some of these bacteria include Pseudomonas, Escherichia, and Streptococcus species. The following represents MIC susceptibility data for a few medically significant microorganisms:[7]
- Escherichia coli: ≤0.007 – 128 μg/ml
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa: 0.06 – >256 μg/ml
- Streptococcus pneumoniae: ≤0.007 – >8 μg/ml
Chemistry
The combination of the syn-configuration of the methoxy imino moiety and the aminothiazole moiety confers extra stability to β-lactamase enzymes produced by many bacteria. The N–methyl pyrrolidine moiety increases penetration into Gram-negative bacteria. These factors increase the activity of cefepime against otherwise resistant organisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.

Semisynthetic, fourth generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Prepn: S. Aburaki et al., DE 3307550; eidem, US 4406899 (both 1983 to Bristol-Myers); and antibacterial activity: T. Naito et al., J. Antibiot. 39, 1092 (1986).
Trade names
Following expiration of the Bristol-Myers Squibb patent,[] cefepime became available as a generic and is now] marketed by numerous companies worldwide under tradenames including Neopime (Neomed), Maxipime, Cepimax, Cepimex, and Axepim.

Society and culture
Legal status
Berdazimer sodium was approved for medical use in the United States in January 2024.[4]
Names
Berdazimer sodium is the international nonproprietary name.[6]
Berdazimer is a polymeric substance consisting of a polysiloxane backbone (Si-O-Si bonds) with covalently bound N-diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide (NO) donors. It releases NO through exposure to proton donors like water, which will degrade the N-diazeniumdiolate entity.2 Berdazimer was previously investigated as a potential treatment for molluscum contagiosum, a viral cutaneous infection mainly affecting children, sexually active adults, and immunocompromised patients. It is one of the 5 most prevalent skin diseases in the world and the third-most common viral skin infection in children.3 Previously, the first line treatment for molluscum contagiosum was surgical excision, although it poses challenges such as repeated doctor visits, post-surgical scarring and skin discoloration, and fear and anxiety in the pediatric population.3
On Jan 05, 2024, the FDA approved berdazimer under the brand name ZELSUVMI for the treatment of adult and pediatric molluscum contagiosum, and it is the first drug to be approved for this condition. This decision is based on positive results demonstrated in 2 Phase 3 trials, B-SIMPLE 4 and B-SIMPLE 2, where reduced lesion counts were observed with once-a-day uses of berdazimer.5

It was approved for medical use in the United States in April 2024,[1][2][3][4] and is the first approval of a systemic therapy for the treatment of people with pediatric low-grade glioma with BRAF rearrangements, including fusions.[2]
Medical uses
Tovorafenib is indicated for the treatment of people six months of age and older with relapsed or refractory pediatric low-grade glioma harboring a BRAF fusion or rearrangement, or BRAF V600 mutation.[1][2]
History
Efficacy was evaluated in 76 participants enrolled in FIREFLY-1 (NCT04775485), a multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial in participants with relapsed or refractory pediatric low-grade glioma harboring an activating BRAF alteration detected by a local laboratory who had received at least one line of prior systemic therapy.[2] Participants were required to have documented evidence of radiographic progression and at least one measurable lesion.[2] Participants with tumors harboring additional activating molecular alterations (e.g., IDH1/2 mutations, FGFR mutations) or with a known or suspected diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 were excluded.[2] Participants received tovorafenib based on body surface area (range: 290 to 476 mg/m2, up to a maximum dose of 600 mg) once weekly until they experienced disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.[2] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for tovorafenib priority review, breakthrough therapy, and orphan drug designations.[2]
