Article Synopsis
  • Tuberculosis lymphadenitis is a common form of extra-pulmonary TB, traditionally requiring six months of treatment, but this study explored a potential four-month regimen using ofloxacin.
  • The trial involved adult TB patients randomly assigned to either a four-month ofloxacin-based treatment or a traditional six-month regimen, with outcomes assessed based on TB recurrence and treatment success.
  • Results showed the four-month regimen was as effective and safe as the six-month control, with similar rates of favorable response and manageable side effects, making it a promising alternative.

A new type of 4-isopropylcalix[4]arene-capped (3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)propylsilyl-appended silica particles (IPC4CD-HPS) has been prepared by treatment of bromoacetate-substituted (3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)propylsilyl-appended silica particles (BACD-HPS) with 4-isopropylcalix[4]arene oxyanions in anhydrous N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The bonded silica IPC4CD-HPS has been successfully used as chiral stationary phase (CSP) in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the first time. The synthetic stationary phase was characterized by means of elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Rifamycin-capped (3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)-propylsilyl-appended silica particles (RCD-HPS), a new type of substituted β-cyclodextrin-bonded chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), have been synthesized by the treatment of bromoacetate-substituted-(3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)-propylsilyl-appended silica particles (BACD-HPS) with rifamycin SV in anhydrous acetonitrile. The stationary phase is characterized by means of elemental analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. This new CSP has a chiral selector with two recognition sites: rifamycin and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD).
