Received: 4 October 2020; Accepted: 21 October 2020; Published: 25 October 2020 Abstract: Leishmaniases are neglected diseases that are endemic in many tropical and sub-tropical Countries. Therapy is based on different classes of drugs which are burdened by severe side effects, occurrence of resistance and high costs, thereby creating the need for more efficacious, safer and inexpensive drugs. Herein, sixteen 9-thioxanthenone derivatives (lucanthone analogues) and four compounds embodying the diarylethene substructure of amitriptyline (amitriptyline analogues) were tested in vitro for activity against Leishmania tropica and L. infantum promastigotes. All compounds were characterized by the presence of a bulky quinolizidinylalkyl moiety. All compounds displayed activity against both species of Leishmania with IC50 values in the low micromolar range, resulting in several fold more potency than miltefosine, comparable to that of lucanthone, and endowed with substantially lower cytotoxicity to Vero-76 cells, for the best of them. Thus, 4-amino-1-(quinolizidinylethyl)aminothioxanthen-9-one (14) and 9-(quinolizidinylmethylidene)fluorene (17), with selectivity index (SI) in the range 16–24, represent promising leads for the development of improved antileishmanial agents. These two compounds also exhibited comparable activity against intramacrophagic amastigotes of L. infantum. Docking studies have suggested that the inhibition of trypanothione reductase (TryR) may be at the basis (eventually besides other mechanisms) of the observed antileishmanial activity. Therefore, these investigated derivatives may deserve further structural improvements and more in-depth biological studies of their mechanisms of action in order to develop more efficient antiparasitic agents.

COVID-19 is caused by the novel beta coronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since the inception of the pandemic, treatment options have been either limited or ineffective. Remdesivir, a drug originally designed to be used for Ebola virus, has antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and has been included in the COVID-19 treatment regimens. Remdesivir is an adenosine nucleotide analog prodrug that is metabolically activated to a nucleoside triphosphate metabolite (GS-443902). The active nucleoside triphosphate metabolite is incorporated into the SARS-CoV-2 RNA viral chains, preventing its replication. The lack of reported drug development and characterization studies with remdesivir in public domain has created a void where information on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination (ADME) properties, pharmacokinetics (PK), or drug-drug interaction (DDI) is limited. By Citation: Deb, S.; Reeves, A.A.; understanding these properties, clinicians can prevent subtherapeutic and supratherapeutic levels of Hopefl, R.; Bejusca, R.

  • In Search of a Generic Chiral Strategy: 101 Separations with One Method
    32 September 2009 In Search of a Generic Chiral Strategy: 101 Separations With One Method Jim Thorn and John C. Hudson, Beckman Coulter, Inc., Fullerton, CA, USA In any approach to drug discovery, the challenges presented to the analytical chemist are compounded when a product contains one or more chiral centres. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that display chirality, having one or more asymmetric carbon centres, allowing them to exist as non-superimposable mirror images of one another. These isomers are difficult to analyze as they are both physically and chemically identical and differ only in the way they bend plane-polarized light and in their behaviour in a chiral environment. The key to separating enantiomers is to first enantiomeric drug substances. A group of Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. create diastereomers from these compounds selected from a set of drugs Solutions of these drug and metabolite enantiomers.

A stock solution may be made by dissolving the chlorprothixene (hydrochloride) in the solvent of choice. Chlorprothixene (hydrochloride) is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide, which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of chlorprothixene (hydrochloride) in these solvents is approximately 30 mg/ml. Further dilutions of the stock solution into aqueous buffers or isotonic saline should be made prior to performing biological experiments. Ensure that the residual amount of organic solvent is insignificant, since organic solvents may have physiological effects at low concentrations. Organic solvent-free aqueous solutions of chlorprothixene (hydrochloride) can be prepared by directly dissolving the crystalline solid in aqueous buffers. The solubility of chlorprothixene (hydrochloride) in PBS, pH 7.2, is approximately 10 mg/ml. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day.

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and its precursors, gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD), are drugs of abuse which act primarily as central nervous system (CNS) depressants. In recent years, the rising recreational use of these drugs has led to an increasing burden upon health care providers. Understanding their toxicity is therefore essential for the successful management of intoxicated patients. We review the epidemiology, mechanisms of toxicity, toxicokinetics, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of poisoning due to GHB and its analogs and discuss the features and management of GHB withdrawal. Methods.
