Gut- targeting is an effective means of increasing the local concentration of active substance at the desired site of action while minimizing concentrations elsewhere in the body that could lead to unwanted side-effects. Several approaches to intestinal targeting exist. Physicochemical property manipulation can drive molecules to large, polar, low absorption space or alter- natively to lipophilic, high clearance space in order to minimize systemic exposure. Design of compounds that are sub- strates for transporters within the gastrointestinal tract, either uptake or efflux, or at the hepato-biliary interface, may help to increase intestinal concentration. Prodrug strategies have been shown to be effective particularly for colon targeting, and several different technology formulation approaches are currently being researched. This review provides examples of various approaches to intestinal targeting, and discusses challenges and areas in need of future scientific advances.

In order to ensure a proper functioning of cell replication and proteins and nucleic acids synthesis processes, folate metabolism rate is also increased in these cases. For this reason, folic acid antagonists have been used since their discovery to treat different kinds of microbial infections, taking advantage of this metabolic difference when compared with human cells. However, resistances to these compounds have emerged since then and only combined therapies are currently used in clinic. In addition, some of these compounds have been found to have an immunomodulatory behavior that allows clinicians using them as anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an updated state-of-the-art on the use of antifolates as antibacterial and immunomodulating agents in the clinical setting, as well as to present their action mechanisms and currently investigated biomedical applications.

Among the different antibiotic classes, tetracyclines and sulfonamides are two of the most used for veterinary proposals. Due to the fact that these compounds are poorly absorbed in the gut of animals, a significant proportion (up to ~90%) of them are excreted unchanged, thus reaching the environment mainly through the application of manures and slurries as fertilizers in agricultural fields. Once in the soil, antibiotics are subjected to a series of physicochemical and biological processes, which depend both on the antibiotic nature and soil characteristics. Adsorption/desorption to soil particles and degradation are the main processes that will affect the persistence, bioavailability, and environmental fate of these pollutants, thus determining their potential impacts and risks on human and ecological health.

  • Brain-Targeted Drug Delivery by Manipulating Protein Corona Functions
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11593-z OPEN Brain-targeted drug delivery by manipulating protein corona functions Zui Zhang1,2, Juan Guan1, Zhuxuan Jiang1, Yang Yang1, Jican Liu3, Wei Hua4, Ying Mao4, Cheng Li2, Weiyue Lu2, Jun Qian2 & Changyou Zhan 1,2 Protein corona presents a major obstacle to bench-to-bedside translation of targeted drug delivery systems, severely affecting targeting yields and directing unfavorable biodistribution. 1234567890():,; Corona-mediated targeting provides a new impetus for specific drug delivery by precisely manipulating interaction modes of functional plasma proteins on nano-surface. Here bio- inspired liposomes (SP-sLip) were developed by modifying liposomal surface with a short nontoxic peptide derived from Aβ1-42 that specifically interacts with the lipid-binding domain of exchangeable apolipoproteins. SP-sLip absorb plasma apolipoproteins A1, E and J, con- sequently exposing receptor-binding domain of apolipoproteins to achieve brain-targeted delivery. Doxorubicin loaded SP-sLip (SP-sLip/DOX) show significant enhancement of brain distribution and anti-brain cancer effect in comparison to doxorubicin loaded plain liposomes. SP-sLip preserve functions of the absorbed human plasma ApoE, and the corona-mediated targeting strategy works in SP modified PLGA nanoparticles. The present study may pave a new avenue to facilitate clinical translation of targeted drug delivery systems. 1 Department of Pharmacology, School of Basic Medical Sciences & State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers, Fudan University, 200032 Shanghai, PR China. 2 School of Pharmacy & Key Laboratory of Smart Drug Delivery (Fudan University), Ministry of Education, 201203 Shanghai, PR China. 3 Department of Pathology, Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital Qingpu Branch, Fudan University, 201700 Shanghai, PR China.

Various case reports concerning dapsone-induced agranulocytosis are reviewed. Introduction For the last 60 years, dapsone has been used successfully as both an antibacterial and anti- in¯ammatory agent in leprosy and a range of dermatological disorders. Various haematolo- gical adverse effects, including methaemoglobinaemia, haemolysis and fatal agranulocytosis, have been reported.1 Other rare adverse effects such as pulmonary eosinophilia without cutaneous allergic manifestations have also been reported.2 We have also reported dapsone- induced eosinophilia without pulmonary and cutaneous allergic manifestations.3 The ®rst case of dapsone-induced agranulocytosis was reported in 1958 in a patient receiving dapsone for dermatitis herpetiformis.4 In 1970, a report was published concerning 16 US soldiers in Vietnam who developed agranulocytosis after receiving 25 mg of dapsone daily for malaria prophylaxis with a 50% fatality rate.5 Agranulocytosis has also been reported as a complication of weekly maloprim, a combination of

The improved therapeutic efficacy of liposomal drugs is primarily attributed to enhanced distribution at the sites of action. The targeted distribution of liposomal drugs depends not only on the physicochemical properties of the liposomes, but also on multiple components of the biological system. Pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK–PD) modeling has recently emerged as a useful tool with which to assess the impact of formulation- and system-specific factors on the targeted disposition and therapeutic efficacy of liposomal drugs. The use of PK–PD modeling to facilitate the development and regulatory reviews of generic versions of liposomal drugs recently drew the attention of the U.S.

  • Sulfonamides and Sulfonamide Combinations*
    Sulfonamides and Sulfonamide Combinations* Overview Due to low cost and relative efficacy against many common bacterial infections, sulfonamides and sulfonamide combinations with diaminopyrimidines are some of the most common antibacterial agents utilized in veterinary medicine. The sulfonamides are derived from sulfanilamide. These chemicals are structural analogues of ρ-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). All sulfonamides are characterized by the same chemical nucleus. Functional groups are added to the amino group or substitutions made on the amino group to facilitate varying chemical, physical and pharmacologic properties and antibacterial spectra. Most sulfonamides are too alkaline for routine parenteral use. Therefore the drug is most commonly administered orally except in life threatening systemic infections. However, sulfonamide preparations can be administered orally, intramuscularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intrauterally and topically. Sulfonamides are effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Some protozoa, such as coccidians, Toxoplasma species and plasmodia, are generally sensitive. Chlamydia, Nocardia and Actinomyces species are also sensitive. Veterinary diseases commonly treated by sulfonamides are actinobacillosis, coccidioidosis, mastitis, metritis, colibacillosis, pododermatitis, polyarthritis, respiratory infections and toxo- plasmosis. Strains of rickettsiae, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Proteus, Clostridium and Leptospira species are often highly resistant. Sulfonamides are bacteriostatic antimicrobials

Dorman Received: 2 February 2016; Accepted: 26 February 2016; Published: 4 March 2016 Abstract: The widespread use of antibiotics in veterinary practice and aquaculture has led to the increase of antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens that may be transferred to humans. Global concern is reflected in the regulations from different agencies that have set maximum permitted residue limits on antibiotics in different food matrices of animal origin. Sensitive and selective methods are required to monitor residue levels in aquaculture species for routine regulatory analysis. Since sample preparation is the most important step, several extraction methods have been developed. In this review, we aim to summarize the trends in extraction of several antibiotics classes from shrimps and give a comparison of performance characteristics in the different approaches. Keywords: sample preparation; extraction; aquaculture; shrimps; chromatography; antibiotics 1.
