Purpose: Drug release from nanosystems at the sites of either absorption or effect biophase is a major determinant of its biological action. Thus, in vitro drug release is of paramount importance in gaining insight for the systems performance in vivo.
Methods: A novel in vitro in vivo correlation, IVIVC, model denoted as double reciprocal area method was presented and applied to 19 drugs from 55 nano formulations with total 336 data, gathered from literature.
Results: The proposed model correlated the in vitro with in vivo parameters with overall error of 12.4 ± 3.9%. Also the trained version of the model predicted the test formulations with overall error of 15.8 ± 3.7% indicating the suitability of the approach. A theoretical justification was provided for the model considering the unified classical release laws.
Conclusion: The model does not necessitate bolus intravenous drug data and seems to be suitable for IVIVC of drugs with release rate-limited absorption.

Among emerging contaminants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have captured public attention based upon their environmental ubiquity and potential risks to human health. Due to their typical surface release conditions and amphiphilic properties, PFAS tend to sorb to soil and accumulate at the air-water interface within the vadose zone. These processes can result in substantial plume attenuation.

The assumption of local equilibrium, especially in test standards for assessing the leaching of hazardous substances from materials, is crucial for the use of test results and the robustness of testing. However, previous studies of contact time conditions in percolation test standard have evaluated equilibrium and robustness separately. Therefore, this study tests the assumption of local equilibrium in the up-flow percolation test, standardized as ISO 21268-3 in 2019, and discusses the relationship between the similarity of test results and degree of equilibrium.

Prenylcysteine oxidases (PCYOXs) metabolize prenylated cysteines produced by protein degradation. They utilize oxygen as a co-substrate to produce free cysteine, an aldehyde, and hydrogen peroxide through the unusual oxidation of a thioether bond. In this study, we explore the evolution, structure, and mechanism of the two mammalian PCYOXs.

Co-milling is an effective technique for improving dissolution rate limited absorption characteristics of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, there is a scarcity of models available to forecast the magnitude of dissolution rate improvement caused by co-milling. Therefore, this study endeavoured to quantitatively predict the increase in dissolution by co-milling based on drug properties.

Abnormal sexual maturity exhibits significant detrimental effects on adult health outcomes, and previous studies have indicated that targeting histone acetylation might serve as a potential therapeutic approach to regulate sexual maturity. However, the mechanisms that account for it remain to be further elucidated. Using the mouse model, we showed that Trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, downregulated the protein level of Hdac1 in ovaries to promote the apoptosis of granulosa cells (GCs), and thus arrested follicular development and delayed sexual maturity.
