QT Interval Prolongation with One or More QT-Prolonging Agents Used as Part of a Multidrug Regimen for Rifampicin-Resistant Tuberculosis Treatment: Findings from Two Pediatric Studies
In conclusion, we found a low risk of QTcF interval prolongation in children with RR-TB who received at least one QT-prolonging drug. Greater increases in maximum QTcF and ΔQTcF were observed when MFX and CFZ were used together. Future studies characterizing exposure-QTcF responses in children will be helpful to ensure safety with higher doses if required for effective treatment of RR-TB.PMID:37358463 | DOI:10.1128/aac.01448-22 (Source: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy)

Advances of new drugs bedaquiline and delamanid in the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in children
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem, with nearly 10 million new cases and millions of deaths each year. Around 10% of these cases are in children, but only a fraction receive proper diagnosis and treatment. The spread of drug-resistant (DR) strain of TB has made it difficult to control, with only 60% of patients responding to treatment. Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is often undiagnosed in children due to lack of awareness or under-diagnosis, and the target for children’s DR-TB treatment has only been met in 15% of goals. New medications such as bedaquiline and delamanid have been approved for treating ...

Epub 2023 Feb 1.ABSTRACTThe inner mitochondrial membrane, thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and bacterial plasma membrane play a central role in energy transduction processes exploiting a ubiquitous membrane-bound enzyme complex known as F1FO-ATPase. The enzyme maintains the same function of ATP production between the species and a basic molecular mechanism of enzymatic catalysis during ATP synthesis/hydrolysis. However, small structural divergences distinguish prokaryotic ATP synthases, embedded in cell membranes, from eukaryotic ones localized in ...
