In the present study distribution and elimination of RGH-5002--a new centrally acting muscle relaxant--were investigated in rats by using 14C-labelled compound. Whole-body autoradiography and quantitative determination of the radioactivity in various organs following single and repeated oral administration of [14C]RGH-5002 demonstrated extensive distribution of the drug with high levels in the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver, endocrine and exocrine glands and lungs. Minimal accumulation was observed after repeated (8 days) administration. The same distribution characteristics were observed in both sexes. In pregnant rats radioactivity appeared in the placenta and fetal tissues. Elimination was investigated by measuring radioactivity in 24 h fractions of urine and faeces after single dose administration of the drug. The larger portion of radioactivity was excreted in the urine (81.67 +/- 1.61% of the dose). The faecal recovery was 11.12 +/- 1.19% of the administered dose. Approximately 80% of the excreted radioactivity was recovered within the first 24 hours.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disorder commonly affecting multiple organs such as the lungs, pancreas, liver, kidney, and intestine. Our search focuses on the pathophysiological changes that affect the drugs' absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). This review aims to identify the ADME data that compares the pharmacokinetics (PK) of different drugs in CF and healthy subjects.

Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a key first-line antituberculosis drug that plays an important role in eradicating persister (TB) bacilli and shortening the duration of tuberculosis treatment. However, PZA-resistance is on the rise, particularly among persons with multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis. This nationwide study was conducted to explore the prevalence of mutations conferring PZA resistance, catalogue mutation diversity, investigate the associations of PZA resistance with specific lineages, examine co-resistance to 13 first- and second-line drugs, and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sequencing A and D genes for predicting PZA resistance.

In this work, we use a well-defined water-soluble macrocyclic molecule cucurbit[5]uril (CB5) to modify 2D TiCT MXene and assemble a novel high-performance adsorbent CB5-TiCT for Sr ion by density functional theory and experimental methods. The structural stabilities of two distinct types of CB5-TiCT (T = F, O and OH) complexes, i.e.

Herein, we report the synthesis and chiroptical characteristics of the first (double) helicenes possesing the 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole (DHPP) moiety as their central core. We have developed a three-step synthesis with 6π-electrocyclization accompanied with HBr elimination as its key step. We found that, whereas for smaller periphereal arms double 6π-electrocyclization occurs smoothly forming a double helicene, in the case of longer policyclic aromatic hydrocarbons the reaction becomes less efficient and mono-helicenes are the only products.

Background: Transcription factor 19 (TCF19) is considered a crucial transcription factor and acts as an oncogene in a few cancers. Nevertheless, the effect and mechanism of TCF19 on glioma remain unknown.
Objective: This research aimed to explore the function of TCF19 on glioma progression and clarify the potential mechanism.
