In a previous study, we reported a novel method for the separation and quantification of a strong negatively charged material, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), using fluorometric labeling with 2-aminopyridine and size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography. In the present study, we developed a method for the separation of pyridylamino-DSS (PA-DSS) using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RPLC). In vitro enzymatic degradation of the PA-DSS was carried out using alpha-amylase. In RPLC, depolymerized PA-DSS was eluted on the basis of molecular mass (in the order pentamer, trimer, dimer, and monomer of PA-DSS) and separations were more sharply than in size-exclusion chromatography. The combination of RPLC and size-exclusion chromatography also separated depolymerized PA-DSS as effectively as RPLC alone.

Technology-critical elements (TCEs) refer to the elements that play an important role in many emerging technologies and the production of advanced materials, and these include lanthanides, tungsten and vanadium. Actinides, Tl, and Pb, which also belong to TCEs, are abundantly used in power generation, industrial applications, and modern agricultural practices. The information on the influence of these elements on the aquatic environment and biota is still rather scarce.

Effect of Oral Posaconazole on Venetoclax Plasma Concentration and its Efficacy in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Recent Pat Anticancer Drug Discov

January 2025

Department of Hematology, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510282, P.R. China.

Background: BCL-2 was the first gene identified to have antiapoptotic effects, and venetoclax is an oral selective BCL-2 inhibitor, which has great potential in the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not candidates for intensive therapy. Notably, posaconazole, an oral antifungal drug, is also a strong factor that can affect blood venetoclax concentrations. To the best of our knowledge, the relationship between BCL-2 expression, posaconazole, and venetoclax, as well as their influence on treatment efficacy and the prognosis of patients with AML, has not been reported.

Department of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya Cancer Centre, Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has shown to be a promising agent for prostate cancer imaging under PET-CT. With the automation in radiolabeling with 68Ga, using iTG 68Ge/68Ga generator, it has helped introduce various new diagnostic agents and achieve good manufacturing practices (GMP) simultaneously. However, before any radiopharmaceutical is put into clinical usage, it should always be checked for its radiochemical purity and other quality parameters before injecting in the patient.
