Aim: The present study was undertaken out of a commercial need for the synthesis of Linezolid with impurity limits within the specification.
Materials And Methods: (R)-Glycidyl butyrate (RGB) is raw material for the synthesis of Linezolid drug substance. This RGB contains (S)-(+)-Glycidyl butyrate (SGB) and SGB appears in same concentration in the final Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient. So, a normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed to determine the SGB level in the raw material. RGB and SGB were separated using an HPLC system equipped with quaternary gradient pumps on a Daicel chiralpak AD-H (250 × 4.6 mm) column with a mobile phase consisting 2.0 ml of ethanol in 1 000 ml of n-hexane. A 0.5 ml/minute flow rate and a 10 μl injection volume was used and the compounds were detected at 215 nm.
Results: Method validation parameters demonstrated the same to be reliable, reproducible, and accurate one.
Conclusion: Thus, the present study may be used for regular quality control of RGB to improve commercial feasibility for the synthesis of Linezolid.

Linezolid, a widely used oxazolidinone antibiotic, exhibits potent activity against resistant bacterial infections but is associated with serotonergic toxicity, primarily due to its inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO). MAOs, consisting of MAO-A and MAO-B isoforms, play crucial roles in neurotransmitter metabolism, with implications for neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. This study aims to optimize Linezolid's structure to transform it into a selective MAO-B inhibitor.

The rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-positive bacteria threatens the effectiveness of current antibiotic therapies. However, the development of new antibiotics has stagnated in recent years, highlighted the critical need for the discovery of innovative antimicrobial agents. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of naphthoquinones derived from Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst (ADNs) and elucidate their underlying mechanisms.

- The study explores using lytic bacteriophages combined with the antibiotic linezolid to treat methicillin-resistant bacteria, showing a strong synergistic effect against planktonic cells.
- A checkerboard assay indicated that a specific combination of low doses of both agents completely inhibited bacterial growth, but the order of treatments affected biofilm cells—sequential treatment was less effective while simultaneous treatment was more beneficial.
- Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the combination altered bacterial metabolism, including energy and virulence factors, emphasizing the need to optimize treatment strategies for maximum effectiveness against infections.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) treatment typically involves a tailored combination of four antibiotics based on the drug resistance profile of the infecting strain. The increasing drug resistance of () requires the development of novel antibiotics to ensure effective treatment regimens. Gallium (Ga) is being explored as a repurposed drug against TB due to its ability to inhibit growth and disrupt iron metabolism.
