TM-2 is a novel semi-synthetic taxane derivative, selected for preclinical development based on its greater anticancer activity and lower toxicity compared with docetaxel. In this study, a rapid and sensitive analytical method based on ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed for the determination of TM-2 in rat plasma. The biological samples were extracted with methyl tert-butyl ether and separated on a C18 column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 2 mM ammonium acetate. The standard curves were linear over the range 5-1000 ng/mL in rat plasma. The precision (relative standard deviation, RSD, %) were within 14.5%, and the accuracy (relative error, RE, %) ranged from -1.56 to 2.36%. Recovery and matrix effect were satisfactory in rat plasma. The validated method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic studies after intravenous administration of TM-2 to rats. The pharmacokinetics of TM-2 in rats were characterized by a large volume of distribution and a long half-life of elimination after single dose (4, 8, and 16 mg/kg), and a good correlation was observed between AUC and dose. The preclinical data will be useful for the design of subsequent trials of TM-2.

Recently, exposure to sounds with ultrasound (US) components has been shown to modulate brain activity. However, the effects of US on emotional states remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that the olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) rat depression model is suitable for examining the effects of audible sounds on emotionality.

Multimorbidity, therapeutic complexity, and polypharmacy, which greatly increases the risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and adverse medical outcomes, have become important and growing challenges in clinical practice. Statins are frequently prescribed to manage post-transplant dyslipidemia and reduce overall cardiovascular risk in solid organ transplant recipients. This study aimed to determine whether rosuvastatin has significant DDIs with tacrolimus (the first-line immunosuppressant) and to evaluate the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with concomitant therapy.

The development of novel long-acting injectables for local anesthetics is necessary to effectively manage the acute postoperative pain. The aim of this study was to prepare an injectable oil-based formulation of ropivacaine (ROP) prodrug (ropivacaine stearoxil, ROP-ST) and to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics after injectable administration. A novel -acyloxymethyl prodrug of ROP, i.

Background/objectives: Aronia extract or its active compounds, especially anthocyanin, have shown potential for Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related pathologies, including neuroinflammation, fibrillogenesis of amyloid beta (Aβ), and cognitive impairment. However, there was still concern about their structural instability in vivo and in vitro. To solve the instability of anthocyanins, we combined aronia bioactive factions (ABFs) and alginic acid via electrostatic molecular interactions and created an ABF-alginic acid nanocomplex (AANCP).

For several decades, protein drugs (biologics) made in cell cultures have been delivered as sterile injections, decreasing their affordability and patient preference. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) gum is the first engineered human blood protein expressed in plant cells approved by the FDA without the need for purification and is a cold-chain and noninvasive drug delivery. This biologic is currently being evaluated in human clinical studies to debulk SARS-CoV-2 in the oral cavity to reduce coronavirus infection/transmission (NCT00543318).
