Epidemiological and Clinical Data from the European lipodystrophy (ECLip) registry
OBJECTIVE: Lipodystrophy syndromes comprise a group of rare diseases characterized by loss of adipose tissue without nutritional or catabolic causes. As the rarity of these conditions necessitates collaboration, the European Consortium of Lipodystrophies (ECLip) established an international, longitudinal registry for patients with all forms of lipodystrophy (excluding HIV-associated cases).; METHODS: From December 2017 to November 2023, 19 centres from 13 countries recruited 631 patients into the ECLip registry. Cross-sectional data were analysed using descriptive statistics.; RESULTS: Prospective data was available for 467 patients (82.7%, female; 86.5% adults; median age 44.0 years). Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) was the most common subtype (57.4%), especially FPLD2 (37.9%). However, in men congenital generalized lipodystrophy was nearly as common as FPLD (33.3% vs. 35.8%). Symptoms at onset varied by subtype, with loss of adipose tissue being the most frequent. More than 70% of the patients suffered from metabolic complications, particularly dyslipidaemia (59.0%) and diabetes (48.4%) but prevalence and severity varied between subtypes (prevalence of diabetes for example 76.9% in patients with acquired partial lipodystrophy vs 8.7% in acquired localized lipodystrophy). Metreleptin, the only disease-specific treatment, was used by 11.6% of all patients. 34 deaths were documented, primarily due to cardiovascular events and cancer. Patients with generalized forms of lipodystrophy died earlier compared to patients with partial forms (median age at death 27.0 vs. 72.0 years).; CONCLUSION: This study describes the largest cohort of patients with lipodystrophy reported to date. The dataset offers a comprehensive view of the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and associated comorbidities of lipodystrophy. © The Author(s) 2025.

Targeting Inflammation: Cytosporone B Modulates Imatinib-Driven Biochemical Alterations in Rat Heart
In recent decades, chemotherapy has significantly improved cancer survival, yet its adverse effects on non-cancerous tissues raise increasing concerns. In this context, growing attention has been focused on natural compounds that may be useful in mitigating the undesirable effects of chemotherapeutic agents. Here, we aimed to demonstrate that Cytosporone B (CsnB) is a potent agent for counteracting the cardiovascular effects induced by Imatinib. To this end, 12-week-old male Wistar rats were studied; they were divided into three groups as follows: (1) control, (2) Imatinib-treated (Imatinib: 60 mg/kg/day, per os), (3) Imatinib + CsnB-treated (CsnB: 5 mg/kg/day, i.p.). After the two-week-long experimental period, rats were euthanized. Their hearts were used for the following biochemical measurements: NADPH oxidase (NOX4), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) level, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Imatinib caused a marked upregulation of key inflammatory and oxidative markers, including HMGB1, TNF-α, MPO, iNOS, PAD4, and NOX4 in cardiac tissue; however, CsnB treatment mitigated these elevations, implying its role in opposing Imatinib-induced inflammatory and oxidative processes in the heart. Our findings suggest that CsnB holds promise as a cardioprotective agent capable of modulating Imatinib-induced adverse cardiac effects
Synthesis of 1,3-Thiazine and 1,4-Thiazepine Derivatives via Cycloadditions and Ring Expansion
Non-cephem drugs with 1,3-thiazine-derived rings are very rare, although a number of bioactive 1,3-thiazine derivatives are known. Similarly, 1,4-thiazepine-derived drugs are rare, but many 1,4-thiazepine derivatives show interesting biological activities. Therefore, our aim was the synthesis of such N,S-heterocycles using a versatile and short (1–3 steps) literature method. First, a three-component reaction of a cycloalkene, a thioamide, and an aldehyde provided 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazines. Afterwards, Staudinger ketene–imine cycloaddition with chloroketene resulted in β-lactam-fused 1,3-thiazinanes. Finally, treatment with sodium methoxide induced ring expansion, yielding 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,4-thiazepines. This synthetic pathway generates 3–5 new chiral centers with the help of pericyclic reactions, and almost every cycloaddition proceeded in a diastereoselective manner. Two-dimensional NOESY as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction enabled unequivocal determination of the stereochemistry of all synthesized compounds
