The multidrug resistance protein (ABCC1 or MRP1) causes resistance to multiple drugs through reduced drug accumulation. We have previously demonstrated direct interaction between MRP1 and unmodified drugs using photoreactive drug analogues. In this study, we describe the use of [125I]iodoaryl azido-rhodamine123 (IAARh123)-a photoactive drug analogue of rhodamine 123, to study the effects of mild detergents and denaturing agents on MRP1-drug binding in membrane vesicles prepared from HeLa cells transfected with the MRP1 cDNA. Our results show that the zwitterionic detergent CHAPS and a nonionic detergent Brij35 inhibited the photolabeling of MRP1 with IAARh123. Sodium deoxycholate (SDC) and octyl-beta-glucoside (OG), structurally similar to CHAPS and Brij35 and disrupting the lipid bilayer, showed a modest increase of MRP1 photolabeling with IAARh123. Proteolytic digestion of IAARh123 photolabeled MRP1 labeled in the presence or absence of various detergents (CHAPS, SDC, or OG) revealed identical photolabeled peptides. Consistent with the drug-binding results, non-toxic concentrations of CHAPS and Brij35 reversed vincristine and etoposide (VP16) toxicity in MRP1 expressing cells. Taken together, the results of this study show that MRP1-drug interaction can occur outside the lipid bilayer environment. However, this interaction is inhibited with certain mild detergents.

Background: After almost 70 years of using indoor residual spraying (IRS) as the primary intervention for malaria vector control, the Republic of Panama wanted to evaluate the operational feasibility and acceptability of distributing long-lasting insecticidal hammock nets (LLIHNs) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in the country.
Methods: A pilot study conducted in 2019 distributed LLINs and LLIHNs to cover all sleeping spaces in 15 high burden localities of the indigenous Comarca of Guna Yala and measured retention, coverage, use and physical deterioration, washing and drying practices, as well as people's satisfaction with product characteristics post-distribution.
Results: Overall, 89.
Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Sodium Taurodeoxycholate, HY209, a GPCR19 Agonist Inhibiting Inflammasomal Activation.

Background: HY209 is a synthesized sodium taurodeoxycholate (TDCA) that is expected to serve as a novel treatment for sepsis by inhibiting the inflammasomal activation that suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of HY209 after intravenous administration in healthy subjects.
Methods: A dose-block randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study was conducted.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and on-demand aqueous chlorine dioxide mouthwash on the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in mildly symptomatic COVID-19 patients.
- In a randomized clinical trial, participants were assigned to one of three groups: CPC mouthwash, chlorine dioxide mouthwash, or a placebo.
- Results showed that CPC mouthwash significantly reduced salivary viral titer at 10 minutes but had no effect at later intervals, whereas chlorine dioxide mouthwash showed no significant difference compared to the placebo at any time point.

The formation of inclusion bodies (IBs) in microbial cell factories is a very common process occurring during recombinant protein production. Different protocols have been developed for the extraction of soluble proteins from IBs using several strategies, ranging from the use of harsh denaturing and high concentrations of chaotropic agents and reducing agents to the use of mild protocols based on the use of non-denaturing detergents. However, in recent years, the biological vision of IBs has changed and research studies have demonstrated that these protein aggregates contain biologically active and properly folded recombinant proteins.

The overexpression of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) remains one of the biggest hurdles for structural studies of these proteins. To date, the most usually applied system for this task is the insect cell/baculovirus expression system. A drawback of this system, however, is the accumulation of protein that is resistant to solubilization with the commonly used mild detergent DoDecylMaltoside (DDM).
