Purpose: The effect of omeprazole on the oral bioavailability and urinary exposure of the Depomed formulation of extended-release (ER) ciprofloxacin was studied.
Methods: A two-way crossover study was conducted in healthy subjects. Subjects received either a single dose of ER ciprofloxacin 1000 mg or a single dose of ER ciprofloxacin 1000 mg following three days of treatment with omeprazole 40 mg. Blood and urine samples were collected over 36 hours, and ciprofloxacin concentrations were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography.
Results: Twenty-seven subjects (16 men, 11 women) received both treatments. The mean maximum concentration, mean area under the plasma-versus-concentration curve, and mean amount of ciprofloxacin excreted in urine were similar between the two treatments and met strict bioequivalence criteria.
Conclusion: Omeprazole did not affect the plasma or urinary pharmacokinetics of an oral ER formulation of ciprofloxacin.

Sophora alkaloids, including matrine, oxymatrine, and sophoridine, are quinolizidines found in plants used in traditional Chinese medicine such as Sophora flavescens and Sophora tonkinensis. Reports on acute Sophora alkaloid poisoning in humans outside of mainland China are lacking. This study aimed to characterize the clinical presentations, management, and outcomes of acute poisoning involving Sophora alkaloids in Hong Kong.

Infected burn wounds present significant clinical challenges due to delayed healing and risk of infection, necessitating advanced treatments that offer both antimicrobial and regenerative properties. This study aimed to develop and evaluate multifunctional electrospun nanofiber films incorporating rhamnose (as an angiogenic agent) and therapeutic agents, namely fluticasone, mupirocin, ciprofloxacin, and silver sulfadiazine, for the enhanced healing of infected burn wounds. Nanofibers containing rhamnose, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol and therapeutic agents were fabricated electrospinning.

Introduction: This study assessed a new antimicrobial paste formulation containing nitrofurantoin for regenerative endodontics against multispecies biofilms.
Methods: Four groups of 11 single-root teeth each were tested: Negative control group (brain-heart infusion broth + micro-organisms); Hoshino 1 conventional tri-antibiotic paste group (1:1:1 ratio); Hoshino 5 group (5:5:5 ratio); Experimental group with nitrofurantoin, ciprofloxacin, and metronidazole. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of each antimicrobial were determined.

This study presents the formulation and evaluation of chitosan-based homogeneous nanoparticles of ciprofloxacin (CP) and metronidazole (MTZ) with improved loading efficiency to enhance the controlled release of drug within the human body as well as for the enhancement of the antibacterial activity. The drug-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) were prepared using deacetylated chitosan extracted from shrimp shells. The characterization of the drug-loaded CSNPs were performed by FTIR, XRD, SEM and TEM analyses.
