Natural Polymer-Based Nanogel for pH-Responsive Delivery of Sorafenib Tosylate in Hemangiosarcoma
This study is promising but challenging depending on the in vivo study. The nanogel was successfully prepared and evaluated for pH-responsive release. As hemangiosarcoma commonly occurs in dogs, this formulation helps to limit the difficulties with administration.PMID:38605211 | DOI:10.1208/s12249-024-02797-8 (Source: AAPS PharmSciTech)

Design, selective synthesis and biological activities evaluation of novel thiazol-2-ylbenzamide and thiazole-2-ylbenzimidoyl chloride derivatives
Bioorg Chem. 2024 Apr 6;147:107333. doi: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107333. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo promote the development and exploitation of novel antifungal agents, a series of thiazol-2-ylbenzamide derivatives (3A-3V) and thiazole-2-ylbenzimidoyl chloride derivatives (4A-4V) were designed and selective synthesis. The bioassay results showed that most of the target compounds exhibited excellent in vitro antifungal activities against five plant pathogenic fungi (Valsa mali, Sclerotinia scleotiorum, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani and Trichoderma viride). The antifungal effects of compounds 3B (EC50 = 0.72 mg/L)...

Increased Intracranial Arterial Pulsatility and Microvascular Brain Damage in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum [NEUROVASCULAR/STROKE IMAGING]
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum have increased intracranial artery flow pulsatility and measures of small-vessel disease. Carotid siphon calcification might underlie the high prevalence of cerebrovascular disease in pseudoxanthoma elasticum. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

Ursodeoxycholic and chenodeoxycholic bile acids attenuate systemic and liver inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide in rats
Mol Cell Biochem. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.1007/s11010-024-04994-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces general inflammation, by activating pathways involving cytokine production, blood coagulation, complement system activation, and acute phase protein release. The key cellular players are leukocytes and endothelial cells, that lead to tissue injury and organ failure. The aim of this study was to explore the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cytoprotective properties of two bile acids, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) in LPS-induced endotoxemia in rats.

Population-specific variations in < em > KCNH2 < /em > predispose patients to delayed ventricular repolarization upon dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine therapy
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2024 Mar 28:e0139023. doi: 10.1128/aac.01390-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDihydroartemisinin-piperaquine is efficacious for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria and its use is increasing globally. Despite the positive results in fighting malaria, inhibition of the Kv11.1 channel (hERG; encoded by the KCNH2 gene) by piperaquine has raised concerns about cardiac safety. Whether genetic factors could modulate the risk of piperaquine-mediated QT prolongations remained unclear. Here, we first profiled the genetic landscape of KCNH2 variability using data from 141,614 individuals. Overall, we ...

Normal Clinical Laboratory Ranges by Age and Sex, and Impact on Study Screening Outcomes in Rural Mali
We examined hematological and clinical chemistry parameters in healthy residents at two rural vaccine trial sites: Bancoumana and Doneguebougou in Mali, West Africa. During screening of clinical studies in 2018 and 2019, peripheral blood samples from 1,192 apparently healthy individuals age 6 months to 82 years were analyzed at a laboratory accredited by the College of American Pathologists for a complete blood count, and creatinine and/or alanine aminotransferase levels. Based on manufacturers' reference range values, which are currently used in Malian clinical laboratories, abnormal values were common in this healthy pop...
