Correlation between trough concentration and AUC for elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) modulators are the first drugs to directly target the underlying defect of the disease, and have been transforming treatment of people with Cystic Fibrosis (pwCF). The combination of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) is the newest and most effective CFTR modulating medicine [1]. ETI is administered at a fixed dose in adolescents and adults (aged 12 years and older) and adjusted to age and/or weight in the pediatric population (under 12 years) [1].

Pharmacokinetics of polymyxin B in different populations: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: We conclude that small sample sizes, lack of multicentre collaboration, and patient homogeneity are the primary reasons for the discrepancies in the results of the current studies. In addition, most of the studies limited in the internal evaluation, which confined the implementation of model-informed precision dosing strategies.PMID:38483544 | DOI:10.1007/s00228-024-03666-w (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

Challenges and mitigation strategies associated with Burkholderia cepacia complex contamination in pharmaceutical manufacturing
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Mar 14;206(4):159. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03921-9.ABSTRACTBurkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming bacterium with more than 20 opportunistic pathogenic species, most commonly found in soil and water. Due to their rapid mutation rates, these organisms are adaptable and possess high genomic plasticity. BCC can cause life-threatening infections in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with cystic fibrosis, chronic granulomatous disease, and neonates. BCC contamination is a significant concern in pharmaceutical manufacturing, frequently causing non-sterile product re...

Biofilm Formation in Mycobacterial Genus; Mechanism of Biofilm Formation and Anti-Mycobacterial Biofilm Agents
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 11. doi: 10.2174/0113892010277107240227054933. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae, and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are among the most significant human pathogens within the Mycobacterium genus. These pathogens can infect people who come into contact with biomaterials or have chronic illnesses. A characteristic pathogenic trait of mycobacteria is the development of biofilms, which involves several molecules, such as the GroEL1 chaperone, glycopeptidolipids, and shorter-chain mycolic acids. Bacterial behavior is influenced by nutrients, ions, ...
