: is a globally emerging pathogen with widespread antimicrobial resistance driven by multiple mechanisms, such as altered expression of efflux pumps like AdeABC, placing it as a priority for research. Driven by the lack of new treatments, alternative approaches are being explored to combat its infections, among which efficacy-enhancing adjuvants can be found. This study presents and characterizes MV6, a synthetic cyclic peptide that boosts aminoglycoside efficacy.

In this study, netilmicin (NTM) was selectively assessed in its dosage forms after a facile derivatization reaction. The proposed approach was based on the interaction between NTM and o-phthalaldehyde/2-mercaptoethanol (Roth's reagent). The reaction product was fluorometrically measured at λ of 434 nm after λ of 338 nm.

Plazomicin is currently the only next-generation aminoglycoside approved for clinical use that has the potential of evading the effects of widespread enzymatic resistance factors. However, plazomicin is still susceptible to the action of the resistance enzyme AAC(2')-Ia from Providencia stuartii. As the clinical use of plazomicin begins to increase, the spread of resistance factors will undoubtedly accelerate, rendering this aminoglycoside increasingly obsolete.

Objective: The rapid emergence of drug resistant Leishmanial strains makes it imperative to continue the development of cheap and effective drugs against the parasite. Due to the absence of effective vaccines against leishmaniasis, current therapeutic measures exclusively rely on chemotherapy. Here we attempt, to identify novel antileishmanial from a list of known drugs determined from a previous bioinformatics study.
