The depletion of the nitrofuran drugs furazolidone, nitrofurazone, furaltadone, and nitrofurantoin and their tissue-bound metabolites [3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ), semicarbazide (SC), 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ), and 1-aminohydantoin (AH), respectively] were examined in the muscle of channel catfish following oral dosing (1 mg/kg body weight). Parent drugs were measurable in muscle within 2 h. Peak levels were found at 4 h for furazolidone (30.4 ng/g) and at 12 h for nitrofurazone, furaltadone, and nitrofurantoin (104, 35.2, and 9.8 ng/g respectively). Parent drugs were rapidly eliminated from muscle, and tissue concentrations fell below the limit of detection (1 ng/g) at 96 h. Peak levels of tissue-bound AMOZ and AOZ (46.8 and 33.7 ng/g respectively) were measured at 12 h, and of SC and AH (31.1 and 9.1 ng/g, respectively) at 24 h. Tissue-bound metabolites were measurable for up to 56 days postdose. These results support the use of tissue-bound metabolites as target analytes for monitoring nitrofuran drugs in channel catfish.

A randomized clinical trial of on-demand oral pre-exposure prophylaxis does not modulate lymphoid/myeloid HIV target cell density in the foreskin.

Division of Immunology, Department of Pathology, University of Cape Town, South Africa.
Objectives: As topical pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been shown to cause immune modulation in rectal or cervical tissue, our aim was to examine the impact of oral PrEP on lymphoid and myeloid changes in the foreskin in response to dosing and timing of drug administration.
Design: HIV-negative male individuals ( n = 144) were recruited in South Africa and Uganda into an open-label randomized controlled trial in a 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 ratio to control arm (with no PrEP) or one of eight arms receiving emtricitabine-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) or emtricitabine-tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) at one of two different doses, 5 or 21 h before undergoing voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC).
Methods: After dorsal-slit circumcision, foreskin tissue sections were embedded into Optimal Cutting Temperature media and analysed, blinded to trial allocation, to determine numbers of CD4 + CCR5 + , CD1a + cells and claudin-1 expression.
Correlating Mass Spectrometry Imaging and Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Tissue-Based Pharmacokinetic Studies.

Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK.
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a standard tool used for absolute quantification of drugs in pharmacokinetic (PK) studies. However, all spatial information is lost during the extraction and elucidation of a drugs biodistribution within the tissue is impossible. In the study presented here we used a sample embedding protocol optimized for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to prepare up to 15 rat intestine specimens at once.

Acta Biochim Pol

Department of Molecular Biology, University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland.
Numerous epidemiological studies have suggested a link between vitamin D deficiency and the development of various autoimmune diseases, including diabetes mellitus type 1, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis or systemic lupus erythematosus. More recently, such a link has been also proposed for autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBD). This is a relatively rare and potentially life-threatening, organ-specific group of inflammatory skin diseases characterized by the presence of tissue-bound and circulating autoantibodies against various molecules present in desmosomes (in pemphigus diseases) or hemidesmosomes (in pemphigoid diseases).

Despite the ban of nitrofurans (NFs) for use in food production in many countries in the 1990s, NF metabolites in food are still regularly detected during import control testing. We have developed a confirmatory routine method for the detection and quantification of NF metabolites in seafood using LC-MS/MS and validated the method according to the strict criteria in European legislation and Codex Alimentarius. Method characteristics were found to fulfill the criteria.

J Biol Chem

From the Division of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305.
4-Methylumbelliferone (4-MU) inhibits hyaluronan (HA) synthesis and is an approved drug used for managing biliary spasm. However, rapid and efficient glucuronidation is thought to limit its utility for systemically inhibiting HA synthesis. In particular, 4-MU in mice has a short half-life, causing most of the drug to be present as the metabolite 4-methylumbelliferyl glucuronide (4-MUG), which makes it remarkable that 4-MU is effective at all.
