The absolute and the relative bioavailability of D-penicillamine, available from different dosage forms and products, was studied in 10 healthy volunteers. Plasma levels and urine excretion of D-penicillamine were determined up to 8 h after administration by high performance liquid chromatography after intravenous administration of 250 mg and after oral administration of 250 mg (2 products) and 150 mg (1 product) D-penicillamine. The absolute bioavailability on oral administration was 50-70%. No statistical difference was found between the relative bioavailabilities of the different dosage forms tested.

Article Synopsis
- Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) significantly contributes to acute kidney injury, particularly affecting kidney transplants, and this study investigates the role of cuproptosis-related genes in RIRI to improve diagnostic methods.
- The research utilized bioinformatics to analyze data from 203 RIRI samples, identifying 18 cuproptosis-related differentially expressed genes (CRDEGs) and examining their connections with immune cells and biological pathways.
- Experimental validation in mouse models and cell cultures confirmed the involvement of these genes, highlighting the potential of the copper chelator D-Penicillamine in offering protection against RIRI-induced kidney damage.
Functionalized CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots for Intracellular pH Measurements by Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy.

pH is an important biomarker for many human diseases and great efforts are being made to develop new pH probes for bioimaging and biomedical applications. Here, the use of three different CdSe/ZnS QDs, functionalized with d-penicillamine and small peptides, as pH probes for fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is investigated. The fluorescence pH sensitivity of the nanoparticles is analyzed in different experimental media: aqueous solution, synthetic intracellular medium, and mesenchymal C3H10T1/2 and tumoral SK-MEL-2 cell lines.

Aims And Background: We compared the bone mineral density (BMD) of adult Wilson disease (WD) patients (n = 148), with an age- and gender-matched healthy control population (n = 148). Within the WD cohort, correlations of BMD with WD disease parameters, lab results, type of treatment and known osteoporosis risk factors were analysed.
Methods: Hip and lumbar spine absolute BMD and T-score were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Methotrexate for treating rheumatoid arthritis.

Background: Methotrexate is a folic acid antagonist widely used for the treatment of neoplastic disorders. Methotrexate inhibits the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins by binding to dihydrofolate reductase. Currently, methotrexate is among the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The mercapto group of cysteine (Cys) is a predominant target for oxidative modification, where one-electron oxidation leads to the formation of Cys thiyl radicals, CysS(•). These Cys thiyl radicals enter 1,2- and 1,3-hydrogen transfer reactions, for which rate constants are reported in this paper. The products of these 1,2- and 1,3-hydrogen transfer reactions are carbon-centered radicals at position C(3) (α-mercaptoalkyl radicals) and C(2) ((•)C(α) radicals) of Cys, respectively.
