Clozapine-associated perturbation of arachidonic acid metabolism: A future direction for clozapine-induced cardiotoxicity.

Toxicol Lett

September 2025

Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacology, The University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand. Electronic address:

Clozapine is an effective antipsychotic medication utilised for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, clinical use of clozapine is limited due to the risk of cardiotoxicities, including clozapine-induced myocarditis. Oxidation of clozapine and reduction of clozapine-N-oxide can be catalysed by the cardio-selective cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP2J2, CYP1A1 and CYP1B1, which are also reported to metabolise arachidonic acid.

Background: This study aimed to provide an updated assessment of the changes in respiratory function after β-adrenergic receptor antagonists (β-blockers) administration in asthma patients. The main assumption of the study was to use new methodological and statistical approaches not previously applied in this field in systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Methods: To select studies, PubMed/Medline, Embase, ClinicalTrials.

Beta-blockers have generated an exciting discourse for their potential as a cheap, safe, and effective adjunctive therapy for cutaneous melanoma patients, but the field remains murky. This systematic review investigates the association between beta-blocker use and survival outcomes in cutaneous melanoma patients. We reviewed 12 studies with 21,582 patients in a network meta-analysis and found a benefit between beta-blocker use and disease-free survival but no other significant association for melanoma-specific or overall survival.

Introduction: To understand the current clinical practices followed by healthcare professionals (HCPs) among populations with hypertension and obesity with sympathetic overactivity and develop strategies to improve the management of hypertension.

Methods: A standard questionnaire was formulated based on high sympathetic overactivity and/or obesity in young patients with hypertension to gather information on the perception and practices of HCPs toward the management of young patients with hypertension who have high sympathetic overactivity and/or obesity. HCPs throughout India were selected.

Article Synopsis
  • - Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene for type III collagen, leading to fragile blood vessels and serious complications like aneurysms or ruptures, particularly affecting medium-sized arteries.
  • - Previously, vEDS was associated with a high mortality rate and an average life expectancy of around 50 years, but recent advancements in medical awareness and treatment have improved patient outcomes significantly.
  • - Current treatments, particularly the use of celiprolol, a specific heart medication, have shown promise in reducing vascular incidents in vEDS patients; however, more research is needed to fully understand its benefits, and other potential therapeutic avenues are being explored for future treatment. *
