Patient safety is our top priority at Novo Nordisk, and we work closely with the US Food and Drug Administration to continuously monitor the safety profile of our medicines
Research has shown that various polyphenols can provide cardiovascular protection by binding to lipoproteins and preventing their oxidation at both lysosomal/inflammatory pH (5.2) and physiological pH (7.4) (Tung et al., 2020)
This is relevant as the drug predominantly used off-label for IIH, acetazolamide, can be poorly tolerated
ROS are reported to cause oxidation of the catalytic cysteine residue at the active site of E1 and E2 enzymes and promote the formation of E1/E2-containing disulfide complexes, which prevents these enzymes from catalyzing ubiquitination [note: this would decrease levels of ubiquitin conjugates] (Hunter, 2007)
