The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) hydrolytic resistance method for glass vials is routinely used to screen pharmaceutical glass vial supply. In an effort to better understand and control the factors affecting method precision and robustness, several potential sources of variability in the Ph. Eur. alkalinity method have been studied for 3 cc glass vials. Method parameters including vial rinsing, vial covering, autoclave cycle execution, sample hold times, and titration procedure were evaluated in this study. The results of this study indicate the method parameters which require stringent control in order to achieve acceptable method precision and robustness. The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) hydrolytic resistance method for glass vials is routinely used to screen biopharmaceutical glass vial supply. The method was studied to assess contributions to its variability and to potentially improve its reliability. The results of this study indicate which method parameters require stringent control in order to generate reliable data using the Ph. Eur. hydrolytic resistance method.

Background: The OXA-48-like enzymes are members of the class D β-lactamases, primarily detected in Enterobacterales, with the capacity to hydrolyze carbapenems. The allelic variant bla, which has low hydrolytic activity towards carbapenemes, was detected in Argentina in 2011 and spread successfully since then, giving sporadic origin to novel local variants.
Aim: To study the phenotypic profile and the dissemination strategies of two novel OXA enzymes, bla and bla, harbored in Escherichia coli M17224 and Klebsiella pneumoniae M21014, isolated from two pediatric patients.

Piceatannol, a stilbene compound, undergoes a comprehensive phase II metabolism mediated by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and sulfotransferases (SULTs) in humans. Despite their well-documented beneficial effects on health, their detailed pharmacokinetic fate, including the metabolite structure and properties, is poorly understood. Thus, we determined the structure of seven glucuronides and six sulfates transformed from piceatannol and its methylated derivatives in recombinant yeast cells expressing UGTs or SULTs.

Maintaining and enhancing agricultural productivity for food security while preserving the ecology and environment from the harmful effects of toxicants is the main challenge in modern monoculture farming systems. Microbial biological agents can be a promising substitute for traditional synthetic pesticides to manage plant diseases. Trichoderma spp.

This study presents the design and experimental evaluation of advanced corrosion protection coatings for application on prestressing strands which are the core constituents of prestressed concrete structures such as bridges. Variety of self-heal coatings embodying corrective and protective phenomena in response to the degrading effects of corrosion have been designed and tested in simulated aggressive weathering conditions. Standard 7-wire prestressing strands coated with self-heal epoxy, self-heal toughened epoxy and hybrid epoxy coating systems were subjected to salt fog spray up to a duration of 2500 h, and 3M CalCl, 3M NaOH, saturated Ca(OH) solutions and distilled water up to 45 days duration.

The requirement for the development of advanced technologies is the need to create new functional thermostable soluble polysilsesquioxanes. Combining the potential of organosilicon chemistry and the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds is a promising direction for the formation of novel organosilicon polymer systems with new properties and new possibilities for their practical application. Using the classical method of hydrolysis and polycondensation of previously unknown trifunctional (trimethoxysilylpropyl)glutarimide in the presence or absence of an acid or base catalyst, a universal approach to the formation of new thermostable soluble polysilsesquioxanes with glutarimide side-chain groups is proposed, which forms the basis for the synthesis of polysilsesquioxane polymers with different functionality.
