Gatifloxacin is an antibacterial agent belonging to the fourth-generation fluoroquinolone family. Four piperazine-linked fluoroquinolone dimers of Gatifloxacin were observed during the laboratory process for Gatifloxacin and they were identified. The present work describes the origin, synthesis, characterization, and control of these dimers along with the synthesis of Despropylene Gatifloxacin (metabolite).

Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism Research Unit, Department of Medicine, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Purpose Of Review: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is characterized by marked elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This is a review of novel pharmacological therapies to lower LDLC in patients with HoFH.

Recent Findings: Novel therapies can be broadly divided by whether their efficacy is dependent or independent of residual low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) function.

This systematic study delves into the synthesis and characterization of robust bi-functional aminopropyl-tagged periodic mesoporous organosilica with a high loading of small imidazolium bridges in its framework (PrNH@R-PMO-IL, ∼2 mmol g of IL). The materials proved to be a reliable and enduring support for the immobilization of Ru species, demonstrating strong performance and excellent selectivity in the -bromination of various derivatives of 2-phenylpyridine compounds and other heterocycles, showcasing its effectiveness and robust nature. The synthesized materials were thoroughly characterized to determine their structural properties, such as pore size distribution, loading of organic groups, and surface area, using various analytical techniques.
