Dual action of epigallocatechin-3-gallate in virus-induced cell Injury
CONCLUSIONS: The EGCG has proven to be an efficient antiviral against SARS-CoV-2 and HSV-2, as well as a wound-healing phytochemical. We assume that EGCG may be a promising option for slowing the course of acute cellular damage induced by systemic (Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)) or topical (HSV-2) viral infections.PMID:38012348 | DOI:10.1186/s43141-023-00624-4 (Source: Herpes)

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 7775: Azorean Black Tea (Camellia sinensis) Antidermatophytic and Fungicidal Properties
a Gonçalves The treatment of dermatophytoses, the most common human fungal infections, requires new alternatives. The aim of this study was to determine the antidermatophytic activity of the aqueous Azorean Black Tea extract (ABT), together with an approach to the mechanisms of action. The phytochemical analysis of ABT extract was performed by HPLC. The dermatophytes susceptibility was assessed using a broth microdilution assay; potential synergies with terbinafine and griseofulvin were evaluated by the checkerboard assay. The mechanism of action was appraised by the quantification of the fungal cell wall chitin and &...

Bioequivalence of 240  mg Apalutamide Tablets and Preparation in Aqueous Food Vehicles for Alternative Administration
AbstractA 240-mg single tablet has been developed with the focus of reducing the pill burden of the apalutamide daily dose of 240  mg (4 × 60-mg tablets). An open-label, randomized, single-dose phase 1 study with a 2-sequence and 2-period crossover design in healthy men determined the bioequivalence of a 240-mg single tablet versus the currently available 4 × 60-mg tablets (Part 1, N = 74) and assessed effect of a high- fat meal (Part 2, N = 21) on apalutamide maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-72  h). The 90% confidence interval of geometric mean ratios...
