Aim: To investigate the effect of bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium and the extracellular metabolite of B. subtilis IMV B-7724 on the antitumor immune response of mice with a model tumor.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on Balb/c mice with transplanted solid Ehrlich adenocarcinoma (ACE).
The introduction of potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) has been a major innovation in gastric H,K-ATPase inhibition and many laboratories are actively engaged in the development of novel molecules within this class. This work investigates the interaction between H,K-ATPase and tegoprazan, a representative of the P-CABs group, in terms of K and H binding, through functional and structural analyses. First, by studying the H,K-ATPase activity, we found a model to describe the non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics through a "ping-pong" mechanism that explains a stoichiometry of 1 H, 1 K, and 1 ATP molecule, but also considering the influence of H on the ionization states of the protein.

Materials And Methods: Studies were performed on Balb/c mice; Ehrlich adenocarcinoma (АСЕ) was used as an experimental tumor.
In the present work, we evaluated the antifungal activities of two novel ebselen analogs, -allyl-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one (-allyl-bs) and -3-methylbutylbenzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one (-3mb-bs). Colorimetric and turbidity assays were performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of these compounds in S1 (fluconazole-sensitive) and S2 (fluconazole-resistant) strains of . -3mb-bs was more active than the -allyl-bs compound.

Materials And Methods: The studies were performed on C57Bl/6J mice; LLC was used as an experimental transplantable tumor.
