Folic Acid Antagonists: Antimicrobial and Immunomodulating Mechanisms and Applications
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Folic Acid Antagonists: Antimicrobial and Immunomodulating Mechanisms and Applications Daniel Fernández-Villa 1, Maria Rosa Aguilar 1,2 and Luis Rojo 1,2,* 1 Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Polímeros, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC, 28006 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (D.F.-V.); [email protected] (M.R.A.) 2 Consorcio Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Bioingeniería, Biomateriales y Nanomedicina, 28029 Madrid, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-915-622-900 Received: 18 September 2019; Accepted: 7 October 2019; Published: 9 October 2019 Abstract: Bacterial, protozoan and other microbial infections share an accelerated metabolic rate. 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. Keywords: folic acid antagonists; antifolates; antibiotics; antibacterials; immunomodulation; sulfonamides; antimalarial 1. -

Received: 1 September 2020; Accepted: 13 October 2020; Published: 16 October 2020 Abstract: In recent years, huge amounts of antibiotics have been administered to farm animals, and as a result, residues of these antibiotics can accumulate in livestock products and, once consumed, may be transmitted to humans. Farm animals’ antibiotic treatment may therefore present a risk for consumers health, especially for children and adolescents. In children, the immune system is not fully developed, and thus, they are more susceptible than adults to resistant bacteria. A dietary exposure assessment was conducted on veterinary antibiotics found in raw pork meat among children and adolescents in Cyprus, since pork is the most consumed red meat in Cypriot population. -

Folic Acid may reduce the anti-parasitic effect of pyrimethamine and also increase the risk of pyrimethamine induced bone marrow suppression , for these reasons folinic acid is used to counteract the antifolate effect of pyrimethamine. Avoid brands of sunblock that contain PABA as this may reduce the effectiveness of sulfadiazine.

The Ocean As a Global Reservoir of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
The Ocean as a Global Reservoir of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Stephen M. Hatosy,a Adam C. Martinya,b Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, California, USAa; Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine, California, USAb Recent studies of natural environments have revealed vast genetic reservoirs of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes. Soil bacteria and Downloaded from human pathogens share AR genes, and AR genes have been discovered in a variety of habitats. However, there is little knowledge about the presence and diversity of AR genes in marine environments and which organisms host AR genes. To address this, we identified the diversity of genes conferring resistance to ampicillin, tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, and sulfadimethoxine in diverse marine environments using functional metagenomics (the cloning and screening of random DNA fragments). Marine environ- ments were host to a diversity of AR-conferring genes. Antibiotic-resistant clones were found at all sites, with 28% of the genes identified as known AR genes (encoding beta-lactamases, bicyclomycin resistance pumps, etc.). However, the majority of AR genes were not previously classified as such but had products similar to proteins such as transport pumps, oxidoreductases, and hydrolases. Furthermore, 44% of the genes conferring antibiotic resistance were found in abundant marine taxa (e.g., Pelagibac- http://aem.asm.org/ ter, Prochlorococcus, and Vibrio). Therefore, we uncovered a previously unknown diversity of genes that conferred an AR pheno- type among marine environments, which makes the ocean a global reservoir of both clinically relevant and potentially novel AR genes. he spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) is critically important sity of marine AR genes, and (iii) are these genes harbored by Tto human health. -

For this purpose, Sarafloxacin (SAR) was employed to synthesize the immunogen and coating antigen through EDC conjugation method, and cell fusion technology was used to produce anti-SAR monoclonal antiobdy. Based on the square matrix titration, an icELISA method was established. The dynamic range for Sarafloxacin in assay buffer was from 0.004 to 18 ng/mL, with LOD and IC50 value of 0.002 ng/mL and 0.32 ng/mL, respectively. After optimization, the physiological pH (7.4) was selected for the immunoassays, and this assay could tolerate up to 10% acetonitrile. The results of this assay showed a high cross- reactivity to Difloxacin (85.5%), Norfloxacin (61.7%), and Pefloxacin (34.8%). Under the 10-fold dilution in authentic fish samples, the regression curve equations for Sarafloxacin, Difloxacin, Norfloxacin and Pefloxacin were y = 1.0114x - 0.4003, R2= 0.9901; y = 0.9782x + 0.2754, R2= 0.9807; y = 0.9892x +0.0489, R2= 0.9843; and y = 0.9797x +0.8017, R2= 0.9844, respectively. -

The modified QuEChERS consists of an extraction kit (4 g Na2SO4+ Jian-Zhong Li 1 g NaCl) and a dispersive-SPE kit (50 mg PSA, 150 mg, C18EC, 900 mg Na2SO4); the Agilent Technologies Co., Ltd., extraction solvent is 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile. Satisfactory recoveries were Beijing, 100102 China achieved by this method for all four classes of veterinary drugs. The veterinary drugs were quantified by LC/ESI/MS/MS using Dynamic Multiple Reaction Monitoring (DMRM). The observed limits of detection are in accordance with the various MRLs for the four classes of veterinary drugs, and the average recoveries exceed 50%, thus meeting the requirement for routine analysis.

Thus, therapy is based on antimicrobials that leave the animal’s tissues mainly via urine, reaching the environment through slurry and waste water. Once there, antimicrobial residues may lead to antibacterial resistance as well as toxicity for plants, animals, or humans. Hence, the objective was to describe the rate of antimicrobial excretion in urine in order to select the most appropriate molecule while reducing harmful effects. Thus, 62 pigs were treated with sulfamethoxypyridazine, Citation: Serrano, M.J.; oxytetracycline, and enrofloxacin. Urine was collected through the withdrawal period and analysed García-Gonzalo, D.; Abilleira, E.; via LC-MS/MS.
