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.

Abstract Ivermectin is considered to be a wonder drug due to its broad-spectrum antiparasitic activity against both ectoparasites and endoparasites (under class of endectocide) and has multiple applications in both veterinary and human medicine. In particular, ivermectin is commonly used in the treatment of different kinds of infections and infestations. By altering the vehicles used in the formulations, the pharmacokinetic properties of different ivermectin preparations can be altered. Since its development, various vehicles have been evaluated to assess the efficacy, safety, and therapeutic systemic concentrations of ivermectin in different species. A subcutaneous route of administration is preferred over a topical or an oral route for ivermectin due to superior bioavailability.

  • The Late Iron Age Bear-Tooth Pendants in Finland: Symbolic Mediators Between Women, Bears, and Wilderness?
    The Late Iron Age Bear-Tooth Pendants in Finland: Symbolic Mediators between Women, Bears, and Wilderness? NORA KIVISALO University of Turku Abstract In the article I discuss the different functions and meanings of bronze bear-tooth pendants in the Finnish Late Iron Age (800–1150/1300 ce). I first focus on an analysis of the pendants in terms of archaeological methodology: chronology, typology and find context. The second focus of attention, and in this article the most important one, is on the interpretation of these pendants. They are usually interpreted as magical items, amulets. In my opinion this is not the only possible interpretation. I suggest that the pendants can be interpreted as magi- cal or religious, but that their possible protective use as amulets does not exclude other functions, such as a decorative and/or social one. I emphasise the possibility that bear-tooth pendants may be linked to a symbolic form of expression involving the idea of control of the forest and wilderness. Finnish folk tradition and mythology point to a metaphoric and metonymic relationship on the one hand between the bear and the wilderness, on the other the bear and women. The bronze bear-tooth pendants – possibly worn only by women – may have carried a symbolic message of control over the wilderness; this control could have been mythology-based and practised by ritual acts; at the same time it could also take the form of concrete acts, such as utilization of the wilderness: a fur-based economy and control over the fur trade. Keywords: bear-tooth pendant, Iron Age, Finland, cognitive archaeology In Finland, more than a hundred bear-tooth pendants are known.

  • The New Anthelmintic Tribendimidine Is an L-Type (Levamisole and Pyrantel) Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonist
    The New Anthelmintic Tribendimidine is an L-type (Levamisole and Pyrantel) Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonist Yan Hu1, Shu-Hua Xiao2, Raffi V. Aroian1* 1 Section of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California, United States of America, 2 National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China Abstract Background: Intestinal parasitic nematodes such as hookworms, Ascaris lumbricoides, and Trichuris trichiura are amongst most prevalent tropical parasites in the world today. Although these parasites cause a tremendous disease burden, we have very few anthelmintic drugs with which to treat them. In the past three decades only one new anthelmintic, tribendimidine, has been developed and taken into human clinical trials. Studies show that tribendimidine is safe and has good clinical activity against Ascaris and hookworms. However, little is known about its mechanism of action and potential resistance pathway(s). Such information is important for preventing, detecting, and managing resistance, for safety considerations, and for knowing how to combine tribendimidine with other anthelmintics. Methodology/Principal Findings: To investigate how tribendimidine works and how resistance to it might develop, we turned to the genetically tractable nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. When exposed to tribendimidine, C. elegans hermaphrodites undergo a near immediate loss of motility; longer exposure results in extensive body damage, developmental arrest, reductions in fecundity, and/or death. We performed a forward genetic screen for tribendimidine- resistant mutants and obtained ten resistant alleles that fall into four complementation groups. Intoxication assays, complementation tests, genetic mapping experiments, and sequencing of nucleic acids indicate tribendimidine-resistant mutants are resistant also to levamisole and pyrantel and alter the same genes that mutate to levamisole resistance.

Batch specific analytical results are provided on each certificate of analysis. Laboratory Procedures Derquantel is supplied as a solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the derquantel in the solvent of choice. Derquantel is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide, which should be purged with an inert gas. Derquantel is sparingly soluble in aqueous solutions. To enhance aqueous solubility, dilute the organic solvent solution into aqueous buffers or isotonic saline. If performing biological experiments, ensure the residual amount of organic solvent is insignificant, since organic solvents may have physiological effects at low concentrations. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day. Description Derquantel is an anthelmintic spiroindole that acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, causing flaccid paralysis and expulsion of nematodes.1 A combination of derquantel and the macrocyclic lactone, abamectin (Item No. 19201), has been found to have synergistic anthelmintic effects against gastrointestinal nematode parasites in sheep.2 References 1.

  • Haemonchus Contortus ABC Transporters Linked to Macrocyclic
    Haemonchus contortus ABC transporters linked to Macrocyclic lactone resistance Pablo Godoy Rosas Institute of Parasitology, McGill University Montreal, CANADA March 2015 A thesis submitted to Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, McGill University in partial fulfillment with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Pablo Godoy 2015 0 Abstract. Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode distributed all around the world where ruminants graze and it causes serious decreases in small ruminants production. In order to control this veterinary helminth as well as others, the administration of anthelmintic chemotherapeutics is still the main strategy used to overcome parasitosis in veterinary medicine. One particular anthelmintic class is the macrocyclic lactones (MLs), which since their launch more than thirty years ago have shown remarkable efficacy against endo and ectoparasites, being successful against parasitic pathogens resistant to older parasiticide drugs. Currently, they represent the cornerstone of antiparasite chemotherapy in animal health and are also important in humans. Unfortunately, due to their outstanding effects, the continuous use of the MLs against parasitic nematodes, including H. contortus, has led to drug resistance, and now limits their use. In H. contortus, one of the resistance mechanisms involved could be the over expression of P- glycoproteins (PGPs) and possibly other nematode transporters, homologs of multidrug resistance (MDR) pumps in mammals which belong to the ATP-Binding- Cassette (ABC) transporter protein family. The activity of the ABC transporters is based on the hydrolysis of ATP coupling to the extrusion of many unrelated compounds across the membrane. In the host, these plasma membrane proteins are expressed in different organs and tissues such as intestine, liver, blood-brain- barreer (BBB) and kidney, influencing the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of different substrates including the ML drugs.

  • Finland During the First Millenium
    FINLAND DURING THE FIRST MILLENIUM 1st millennia AD Jouko Pesonen The old sagas contain stories from the ancient times, as in here, in which I have collected, during the last twenty years, pieces of data about the Viking kings and mostly Finnish and Danish Vikings.
