The kinetic interaction between salicylate and naproxen was investigated in 25 rheumatoid arthritis patients. Kinetic interactions were tested in serum after patients had been on each drug regimen for 1 month. Salicylate decreased serum naproxen concentration from 89.5 mg/liter to 65.9 mg/liter (P less than 0.001) and increased serum naproxen clearance by 56%. Naproxen had minimal effect on serum salicylate concentrations.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed a self-drug-delivery system using a supramolecular gelator called NAP-PHE∙PEA, derived from naproxen and amino acids, capable of gelling both water and organic solvents.* -
  • The study explored the molecular interactions governing the gel's formation using techniques like 1H-NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction to understand the gel-network structure and analyze various salt forms.* -
  • NAP-PHE∙PEA demonstrated strong anti-cancer effects on certain cancer cell lines without harming normal cells, and its gel form exhibited beneficial properties such as self-healing and load-bearing, making it suitable for topical treatments.*

This review presents a comprehensive analysis of current research on biological treatment processes for removing pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) from wastewater. Unlike previous studies on this topic, our study specifically delves into the effectiveness and drawbacks of various treatment approaches such as traditional wastewater treatment facilities (WWTP), membrane bioreactors (MBRs), constructed wetlands (CW), and moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR). Through the examination and synthesis of information gathered from more than 200 research studies, we have created a comprehensive database that delves into the effectiveness of eliminating 19 particular PhCs, including commonly studied compounds such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, ketoprofen, indomethacin, salicylic acid, codeine, and fenoprofen, amoxicillin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, tetracycline, atenolol, propranolol, and metoprolol.

Article Synopsis
  • Fourteen cobalt(II) complexes were created using various non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and nitrogen-donor ligands, characterized through spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
  • *The biological profiles of these complexes were examined, focusing on their interactions with serum albumins and DNA, revealing intercalation with calf-thymus DNA and low plasmid DNA cleavage activity.
  • *Additionally, the antioxidant abilities were evaluated, showing significant free radical scavenging activity and reduction capabilities.

Multinuclear complexes are metal compounds featured by adjacent bound metal centers that can lead to unconventional reactivity. Some ML-type paddlewheel dinuclear complexes with monoanionic bridging ligands feature promising properties, including therapeutic ones. Molybdenum has been studied for the formation of multiple-bonded M compounds due to their unique scaffold, redox, and spectroscopic properties as well as for applications in several fields including catalysis and biology.
