  • Taking Salmonella Seriously Policies to Protect Public Health Under Current Law
    Taking Salmonella Seriously Policies to Protect Public Health under Current Law Thomas Gremillion Director of the Food Policy Institute November 27, 2018 1620 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200 | Washington, DC 20006 | (202) 387-6121 | ConsumerFed.org I. Introduction No one knows exactly how Salmonella Heidelberg infected Noah Craten, but in September of 2013, at the age of 17-months, he was stricken with a persistent fever. His parents sought medical care early and often. Noah did not have the vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or other telltale signs of a Salmonella infection, so Noah’s doctors treated him with antibiotics. They ordered test after test over the course of a month, but to no avail. Noah’s condition deteriorated. Eventually, his doctors admitted him to the hospital, where they discovered a large abscess in his brain that required emergency surgery. It was not until two days after surgeons opened the toddler’s skull that testing identified Salmonella as the culprit. To recover from his surgery, the doctors hooked up Noah to a ventilator and kept him in a medically- induced coma for days. Upon regaining consciousness, Noah began an arduous recovery process that included relearning how to speak.1 Noah was just one of 639 people in 29 states that were confirmed to have been sickened by an antibiotic resistant strain of Salmonella Heidelberg, linked to chicken produced by Foster Poultry Farms (“Foster Farms”).2 Overall, the outbreak likely affected thousands more. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that, for every

Ltd. *Corresponding Author’s Email [email protected] Received 12 April 2015; Review Completed 28 April 2015; Accepted 06 may 2015, Available online 15 May 2015 ABSTRACT Prodrugs are bioreversible derivatives of drug molecules that undergo an enzymatic and/or chemical transformation in vivo to release the active parent drug, which can then exert the desired pharmacological effect. Prodrug design is a choice of approach in solving many of the problems like stability, toxicity, solubility, permeability and drug targeting that affect drug discovery and development. Prodrug design is fruitful approach for drug targeting by changing the physiochemical, biopharmaceutical or pharmacokinetic properties of drugs. About 10-14% of drugs approved worldwide can be classified as prodrugs. The present article takes a review of introduction, classification, applications of prodrug design in various areas of drug development and basic functional groups that are amenable to prodrug design. Keywords: Prodrugs, objectives, classification, application, functional groups, limitation. INTRODUCTION: The term prodrug refers to a pharmacologically inactive introduction of prodrug which is best among physical compound that is converted to an active drug by a and biological means.

Mohi Iqbal Mohammed Abdul1, Sabahuddin Siddique2, Syed Ata Ur Rahman1, Durdana Lateef3, Shubhasis Dan4,5, Pallab Mandal4, Anirbandeep Bose5* 1College of Pharmacy, Taibah University, Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2Patel College of Pharmacy, Madhyanchal Professional University, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India 3College of Science, Taibah University, Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 4Bioequivalence Study Centre, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India 5TAAB Biostudy Services, Jadavpur, Kolkata, India Abstract Herbal medicines have recently been used for treatment of various diseases. The unwanted reaction and other concern like authenticity of herbal drugs is one of the important issues that have been addressed in this article. Toxicity of various important herbal drugs which are used regularly may also induce fatal reaction in our body. Herbal drug interaction with conventional drug and their serious consequences may be also life threatening for the patients who consume herbal drugs. Drug mutagenicity and contamination of herbal drugs are discussed here with suitable example. Drug authenticity with suitable illustration is also depicted in this review article. The aim of this article is to deliver an insight to the critical points of modern herbal drugs therapy and to find the scope for future scientists to overcome the serious issues regarding the herbal drugs treatment in recent era. Keywords: Herbal drugs, Toxicity, Drug authenticity, Drug interaction. Accepted on September 4, 2018 Introduction The herbal therapy as mainline treatment becomes very selection of wrong species.

  • Global Contamination Initiative a Proposal for a New Global Initiative Addressing One of the Most Serious Threats to Our Planet and Our Future
    A safer, cleaner environmental future Global Contamination Initiative A proposal for a new global initiative addressing one of the most serious threats to our planet and our future Prof. Ravi Naidu Managing Director, Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment Inaugural Director, Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation, University of South Australia September 2013 1 Background Technological advances in the manufacture and use of chemicals have delivered enormous benefits to humanity. However, contamination by the chemical products and byproducts of human activity has pervasive and far-reaching impacts upon the Earth and our own health and wellbeing. Traces of anthropogenic contamination are now found from the stratosphere to the deep oceans, from pole to pole, in many forms of wildlife, in all modern societies, in the food chain, and in most individuals, including newborns. It is estimated that there are over 3 million contaminated sites worldwide, chiefly in urban areas, of which the vast majority are unremediated. Many such sites are contaminated with hydrocarbons that release toxic volatiles that pose significant risk to people in residential and commercial areas. In addition, modern homes and offices may themselves emit toxic vapours which harm their inhabitants every day. Rockstrom et al (Nature 461, 2009) identified chemical contamination as one of the ten ‘planetary boundaries’ that humanity, for its own sake, ought not to transgress. However, owing to a lack of data, they were unable to quantify the extent of global contamination, its effects or where to set the boundary: n tio llu d o e p tif al n c ua i q m t e e h y t C o N Figure 1.
