Isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) are the two main drugs used for the management of tuberculosis. They are often used as a fixed drug combination, but their delivery is challenged by suboptimal solubility and physical instability. This study explores the potential of active pharmaceutical ingredient-ionic liquids (API-ILs) to improve the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of INH and RIF.

Aluminum Cluster Molecular Ring-Based Heterometallic Framework Materials for Iodine Capture.

Inorg Chem

January 2025

College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Qingdao University, Shandong 266071, P. R. China.

With the development of the nuclear industry, the risk of elements that are difficult to degrade in nuclear fission has been gradually increasing. Therefore, the efficient capture of iodine (I) has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The aluminum cluster-based metal framework materials show great advantage in iodine adsorption due to the designable pore sizes, excellent physicochemical stability, and cheap raw materials.

Hair isoniazid levels predict TB sputum culture conversion.

Int J Tuberc Lung Dis

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Makerere College of Health Sciences, Kampala, Uganda.

BACKGROUNDSputum culture is the gold standard for diagnosing TB disease and confirming treatment outcomes. However, the turnaround time is 6-8 weeks, which leads to delays in decision-making regarding the care of TB patients.OBJECTIVETo evaluate isoniazid hair drug levels as a predictor of sputum culture conversion at 8 weeks of TB treatment.

Rifampicin and isoniazid resistance not promote fluoroquinolone resistance in Mycobacterium smegmatis.

PLoS One

January 2025

National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases, Shenzhen Clinical Research Center for Tuberculosis, Shenzhen Third People's Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.

Background: The emergence of drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB) has made treatment challenging. Although fluoroquinolones (FQs) are used as key drugs in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the problem of FQs resistance is becoming increasingly serious. Rifampicin (RIF) resistance is considered a risk factor for FQs resistance.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of death globally. Despite WHO recommendations for TB preventive therapy (TPT), challenges persist, including incompletion of treatment and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). There is limited data on the 3-month isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenomics and their relation with ADRs.
