Numerous RCTs have demonstrated the efficacy of oral TA in the treatment of melasma.27 Melasma has several features suggestive of a photoaging disorder, such as neovascularization, basement membrane damage, and solar elastosis.28 TA appears to indirectly decrease metalloproteinase 1 activation and reduce the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor
Additionally, topiroxostat inhibits the ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2), which plays a key role in renal uric acid reabsorption and the secretion of uric acid from the intestines
Intestinal cell lines (e.g., Caco-2 or IPEC-J2) or gastric cell lines (e.g., NCI-N87) are widely used in cytotoxicity and transportation assays because the first host defense barrier against per os mycotoxin exposure is the gastrointestinal wall (Wang et al., 2018
