Comparative Evaluation of the Radioprotective Properties of Copper Chlorophyllin, Trolox, and Indralin in an Experiment on Mice.

The radioprotective properties of copper chlorophyllin (100 and 150 μg/g), the standard antioxidant trolox (100 and 200 μg/g), and the standard radioprotector indralin (100 and 150 μg/g) were compared in male ICR mice (CD-1) subjected to whole-body irradiation (X-ray radiation) in doses of 6, 6.5, and 6.75 Gy.

Assessment of the Acute Toxicity of Chlorophyllin and Trolox for the Possibility of Studying Their Radioprotective Properties.

The acute toxicity of chlorophyllin and trolox upon intraperitoneal injection of their solutions was studied in male ICR (CD-1) mice. The LD of chlorophyllin was found to be 633±37.2 μg/g body weight, which is lower than the LD of established radioprotectors.

Radioprotective Properties of Riboxin (Inosine) and Indralin under External Irradiation.

A comparative assessment of radioprotective properties of inosine nucleoside (riboxin) and recognized radioprotector indralin was carried out. We analyzed survival of male ICR CD-1 mice weighting 32.2±0.

The role of fruits as reservoirs for resistant and virulent strains of opportunistic yeasts.

Strains of the Candida parapsilosis and Meyerozyma guilliermondii species complexes isolated from the internal tissues of 26 fruit species from 21 countries were evaluated for their susceptibility to conventional antifungal compounds (fluconazole, voriconazole, amphotericin B) and hydrolytic activity. A total of 144 strains were studied. Resistance to at least one of the antifungal compounds tested was found in 26.

Enhanced in vivo blood brain barrier transcytosis of macromolecular cargo using an engineered pH-sensitive mouse transferrin receptor binding nanobody.

Background: The blood brain barrier limits entry of macromolecular diagnostic and therapeutic cargos. Blood brain barrier transcytosis via receptor mediated transport systems, such as the transferrin receptor, can be used to carry macromolecular cargos with variable efficiency. Transcytosis involves trafficking through acidified intracellular vesicles, but it is not known whether pH-dependent unbinding of transport shuttles can be used to improve blood brain barrier transport efficiency.
