Published: October 1998

Albendazole is a poorly water soluble drug, with low oral bioavailability, used in pharmacological treatment of a systemic disease as hydatid parasitosis. Lipidic matrices of Gelucires (44/14 and 35/02) were developed. After "in vitro" studies, one formulation was chosen for a single dose study in 8 healthy volunteers, with a cross-over and randomised design, taking a commercially available tablet as reference. Drug absorption was followed by albendazole sulphoxide dosage in urine by high pressure liquid chromatography. Neither albendazole nor albendazole sulphoxide were recovered in urine after tablet administration while 0.18% (+/- 0.06) of dose was recovered after lipidic matrix administration in the first 24 hours. Besides ageing control were performed up to 18 months post-elaboration. Lipidic matrix with Gelucire 44/14 was revealed as a promising attempt for oral pharmaceutical form in albendazole systemic treatment.

Atgl-dependent adipocyte lipolysis promotes lipodystrophy and restrains fibrogenic responses during skin fibrosis.

During skin fibrosis, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are overproduced, and resident lipid-filled, mature dermal adipocytes are depleted in both human disease and mouse models. However, the mechanisms by which the reduction in lipid-filled adipocytes occurs during fibrosis are not well understood. Here, we identify that adipocyte lipolysis via the rate limiting enzyme, adipocyte triglyceride lipase (Atgl), is required for loss of adipose tissue during skin fibrosis in mice.

Obtaining high-quality matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) images and the reproducibility of the technique depend strongly on the sample preparation protocol. The most crucial part is the application of the MALDI matrix, which often relies on expensive spraying or sublimation coaters. In this work, we present a new dual-polarity matrix for MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI): Basic Blue 7 (BB7), which belongs to the group of triarylmethane dyes.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the biological changes in rabbit corneas caused by two light-activated corneal stiffening methods: riboflavin with UVA and WST11 with NIR.
  • Differentially expressed proteins were identified following treatments, showing RF-D/UVA affected cell metabolism and keratocyte differentiation, while WST-D/NIR influenced extracellular matrix regulation.
  • The findings reveal a metabolic shift towards glycolysis in RF-D/UVA treated corneas compared to normal respiration in WST-D/NIR treated corneas, highlighting the distinct biological effects of each treatment.

Sample pretreatment for mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics and lipidomics is normally conducted independently with two sample aliquots and separate matrix cleanup procedures, making the two-step process sample-intensive and time-consuming. Herein, we introduce a high-throughput pretreatment workflow for integrated nontargeted metabolomics and lipidomics leveraging the enhanced matrix removal (EMR)-lipid microelution 96-well plates. The EMR-lipid technique was innovatively employed to effectively separate and isolate non-lipid small metabolites and lipids in sequence using significantly reduced sample amounts and organic solvents.

Influence of chitosan encapsulation on functionality and stability of astaxanthin nanoemulsion fabricated using high pressure homogenizer.

Int J Biol Macromol

Department of Food Technology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand. Electronic address:

Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant substance, but it can be easily degraded by light, heat, and oxidation. One solution to overcome these problems is to transform astaxanthin into nanoemulsion within a protective matrix produced during an encapsulation process. In this study astaxanthin nanoemulsion (ANE) and chitosan (CS) incorporated with ANE (CS-ANE) were fabricated using high-pressure homogenizer (HPH).
