DeBoer, Mark D. published the artcileEffect of scheduled antimicrobial and nicotinamide treatment on linear growth in children in rural Tanzania: A factorial randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, Name: 2-((5-Nitrothiazol-2-yl)carbamoyl)phenyl acetate, the main research area is .

Background: Stunting among children in low-resource settings is associated with enteric pathogen carriage and micronutrient deficiencies. Our goal was to test whether administration of scheduled antimicrobials and daily nicotinamide improved linear growth in a region with a high prevalence of stunting and enteric pathogen carriage. Methods and findings: We performed a randomized, 2 x 2 factorial, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in the area around Haydom, Tanzania. Mother-child dyads were enrolled by age 14 days and followed with monthly home visits and every 3-mo anthropometry assessments through 18 mo. Those randomized to the antimicrobial arm received 2 medications (vs. corresponding placebos): azithromycin (single dose of 20 mg/kg) at months 6, 9, 12, and 15 and nitazoxanide (3-day course of 100 mg twice daily) at months 12 and 15. Those randomized to nicotinamide arm received daily nicotinamide to the mother (250 mg pills months 0 to 6) and to the child (100 mg sachets months 6 to 18). Primary outcome was length-for-age z-score (LAZ) at 18 mo in the modified intention-to-treat group. Between Sept. 5, 2017 and August 31, 2018, 1,188 children were randomized, of whom 1,084 (n = 277 placebo/placebo, 273 antimicrobial/placebo, 274 placebo/nicotinamide, and 260 antimicrobial/nicotinamide) were included in the modified intention-to-treat anal. The study was suspended for a 3-mo period by the Tanzanian National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) because of concerns related to the timing of laboratory testing and the total number of serious adverse events (SAEs); this resulted in some participants receiving their final study assessment late. There was a high prevalence of stunting overall (533/1,084, 49.2%). Mean 18-mo LAZ did not differ between groups for either intervention (mean LAZ with 95% confidence interval [CI]: antimicrobial: -2.05 CI -2.13, -1.96, placebo: -2.05 CI -2.14, -1.97; mean difference: 0.01 CI -0.13, 0.11, p = 0.91; nicotinamide: -2.06 CI -2.13, -1.95, placebo: -2.04 CI -2.14, -1.98, mean difference 0.03 CI -0.15, 0.09, p = 0.66). There was no difference in LAZ for either intervention after adjusting for possible confounders (baseline LAZ, age in days at 18-mo measurement, ward, hospital birth, birth month, years of maternal education, socioeconomic status (SES) quartile category, sex, whether the mother was a member of the Datoga tribe, and mother’s height). Adverse events (AEs) and SAEs were overall similar between treatment groups for both the nicotinamide and antimicrobial interventions. Key limitations include the absence of laboratory measures of pathogen carriage and nicotinamide metabolism to provide context for the neg. findings. Conclusions: In this study, we observed that neither scheduled administration of azithromycin and nitazoxanide nor daily provision of nicotinamide was associated with improved growth in this resource-poor setting with a high force of enteric infections. Further research remains critical to identify interventions toward improved early childhood growth in challenging conditions. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03268902.

de Jesus, Joao Paulo Almirao published the artcileEffect of drug metabolism in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 from an entirely computational perspective, SDS of cas: 55981-09-4, the main research area is .

Abstract: Understanding the effects of metabolism on the rational design of novel and more effective drugs is still a considerable challenge. To the best of our knowledge, there are no entirely computational strategies that make it possible to predict these effects. From this perspective, the development of such methodologies could contribute to significantly reduce the side effects of medicines, leading to the emergence of more effective and safer drugs. Thereby, in this study, our strategy is based on simulating the electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS) fragmentation of the drug mols. and combined with mol. docking and ADMET models in two different situations. In the first model, the drug is docked without considering the possible metabolic effects. In the second model, each of the intermediates from the EI-MS results is docked, and metabolism occurs before the drug accesses the biol. target. As a proof of concept, in this work, we investigate the main antiviral drugs used in clin. research to treat COVID-19. As a result, our strategy made it possible to assess the biol. activity and toxicity of all potential byproducts. We believed that our findings provide new chem. insights that can benefit the rational development of novel drugs in the future.

Escobedo, Angel A published the artcileEfficacy of 5-nitroimidazole compounds for giardiasis in Cuban children: systematic review and meta-analysis., Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is .

Five-nitroimidazole (5-NI) compounds are among the most commonly used medications in the treatment of giardiasis. However, after more than five decades of their initial indication for such treatment, there are some concerns about the efficacy of 5-NIs in giardiasis. This study sought to compare the efficacy of any 5-NI with any other antigiardial drug for the treatment of Cuban children with giardiasis. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We searched CUMED, EBSCOhost and PubMed databases. Two reviewers independently assessed trial eligibility, trial quality and extracted appropriate data. The primary outcome was the parasitological cure. The effect estimate was the pooled relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). We included seven RCTs in the systematic review, involving a total of 1046 children. When the effect of 5-NIs was compared with that of benzimidazole compounds, the pooled effect was significant and favored 5-NIs [the relative risk (RR) is 1.35, 95% CI =1.05 to 1.75], with high heterogeneity (4 studies, I2 =79%). Compared with chloroquine, the pooled effects of the 5-NIs were not significant [RR is 0.96, 95% CI=0.79 to 1.18, (2 studies, I2=68%)]. Our results support the use of 5-NIs (mainly tinidazole) as first-line therapy for Cuban pediatric patients infected with Giardia and may continue being used as reference drugs in future RCTs of giardiasis. These data could help inform policy decisions in Cuba. Caution is needed in extrapolating such data in other settings.

Iza, José A published the artcileGiardiasis: report of a case refractory to treatment., Formula: C12H9N3O5S, the main research area is .

Caused by the protozoan Giardia lamblia, giardiasis is one of the most common parasitic diarrheal infections affecting humans. Although a variety of antigiardial drugs are available to treat infections in humans, failure of conventional treatment with nitroimidazoles for giardiasis has been increasingly reported. We describe the follow-up of a patient with recurrent giardiasis refractory to nitroimidazoles. Despite the different therapies received, the symptomatology and parasitic forms of G. lamblia persisted in the patient. There is no standard treatment regimen for giardiasis refractory to nitroimidazoles. When treatment failure is confirmed, it is necessary to switch to second-line regimens.

Muffly, Matthew K published the artcileSpeeding the Detection of Vessel Cannulation: An In-Vitro Stimulation Study., SDS of cas: 123-29-5, the main research area is .

BACKGROUND: Some practitioners “”prime”” small IV angiocatheter needles with 0.9% sodium chloride-claiming this modification speeds visual detection of blood in the angiocatheter flash chamber on vessel cannulation. METHODS: We compared the time required for human blood to travel the length of saline-primed and saline-unprimed 24- and 22-gauge angiocatheter needles (Introcan Safety IV Catheter; B. Braun, Bethlehem, PA). A syringe pump (Medfusion 4000, Cary, NC) advanced each angiocatheter needle through the silicone membrane of an IV tubing “”t-piece”” (Microbore Extension Set, 5 Inch; Hospira, Lake Forest, IL) filled with freshly donated human blood. When the angiocatheter needle contacted the blood, an electrical circuit was completed, illuminating a light-emitting diode. We determined the time from light-emitting diode illumination to visual detection of blood in the flash chamber by video review. We tested 105 saline-primed angiocatheters and 105 unprimed angiocatheters in the 24- and 22-gauge angiocatheter sizes (420 catheters total). We analyzed the median time to visualize the flash using the nonparametric Wilcoxon rank sum test in R (http://www.R-project.org/). The Stanford University Administrative Panel on Human Subjects in Medical Research determined that this project did not meet the definition of human subjects research and did not require institutional review board oversight. RESULTS: In the 24-gauge angiocatheter group, the median (and interquartile range) time for blood to travel the length of the unprimed angiocatheter needle was 1.14 (0.61-1.47) seconds compared with 0.76 (0.41-1.20) seconds in the saline-primed group (P = 0.006). In the 22-gauge catheter group, the median (interquartile range) time for blood to travel the length of the unprimed angiocatheter needle was 1.80 (1.23-2.95) seconds compared with 1.46 (1.03-2.54) seconds in the saline-primed group (P = .046). CONCLUSIONS: These results support the notion that priming small angiocatheter needles, in particular 24-gauge catheters, with 0.9% sodium chloride may provide earlier detection of vessel cannulation than with the unprimed angiocatheter.

Lalikoglu, Melisa published the artcileThe Synthesis of Benzyl Acetate as a Fragrance and Flavoring Agent with Green Solvents., Computed Properties of 140-11-4, the main research area is .

Benzyl acetate, which has a crucial role in the industry as a flavor and fragrance component, is important for human health to be obtained with a green and clean process. For this purpose, the esterification reaction of acetic acid (AA) and benzyl alcohol (BA) was investigated using five different ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts. 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, [EMIM] [HSO4], 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [EMIM] [BF4], 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [OMIM] [BF4], 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis [(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] imide [EMIM] [NTf2], and 1,3-diethylimidazolium bis [(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] imide [DEIM] [NTf2] were used as catalysts. The best catalytic performance was obtained with 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, [EMIM] [HSO4]. The influence of different anions and cations in the IL’s structure, the reaction conditions such as initial acid/alcohol ratio, the catalyst amount, the reaction temperature, and the time on conversion were observed. The Box-Behnken experimental design of response surface methodology was applied to estimate the relationship between acid conversion (%) and reaction parameters. According to the model, in all esterification experiments carried out at 110°C, the optimum conditions for maximum conversion were AA:BA molar ratio of 1:1, IL molar ratio of 0.66, and reaction time 4 hours. Under these conditions, 90.34% acid conversion was achieved. [EMIM] [HSO4] can be used for up to three cycles with minimal loss in activity.

Ashigbie, Paul G published the artcileUse-case scenarios for an anti-Cryptosporidium therapeutic., Application In Synthesis of 55981-09-4, the main research area is .

Cryptosporidium is a widely distributed enteric parasite that has an increasingly appreciated pathogenic role, particularly in pediatric diarrhea. While cryptosporidiosis has likely affected humanity for millennia, its recent “”emergence”” is largely the result of discoveries made through major epidemiologic studies in the past decade. There is no vaccine, and the only approved medicine, nitazoxanide, has been shown to have efficacy limitations in several patient groups known to be at elevated risk of disease. In order to help frontline health workers, policymakers, and other stakeholders translate our current understanding of cryptosporidiosis into actionable guidance to address the disease, we sought to assess salient issues relating to clinical management of cryptosporidiosis drawing from a review of the literature and our own field-based practice. This exercise is meant to help inform health system strategies for improving access to current treatments, to highlight recent achievements and outstanding knowledge and clinical practice gaps, and to help guide research activities for new anti-Cryptosporidium therapies.

Gnimavo, Ronald Sètondji published the artcileAssociated factors study into the belated screening for leprosy in Benin., Safety of Benzyl acetate, the main research area is .

INTRODUCTION: In the absence of early treatment, leprosy, a neglected tropical disease, due to Mycobacterium leprae or Hansen Bacillus, causes irreversible grade 2 disability (G2D) numerous factors related to the individual, the community and the health care system are believed to be responsible for its late detection and management. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with belated screening for leprosy in Benin. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study conducted from January 1 to June 31, 2019, involving all patients and staff in leprosy treatment centers and public peripheral level health structures in Benin. The dependent variable of the study was the presence or not of G2D, reflecting late or early screening. We used a logistic regression model, at the 5% threshold, to find the factors associated with late leprosy screening. The fit of the final model was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. RESULTS: A number of 254 leprosy patients were included with a mean age of 48.24 ± 18.37 years. There was a male dominance with a sex ratio of 1.23 (140/114). The proportion of cases with G2D was 58.27%. Associated factors with its belated screening in Benin were (OR; 95%CI; p) the fear of stigma related to leprosy (8.11; 3.3-19.94; <0.001), multiple visits to traditional healers (5.20; 2.73-9.89; <0.001) and multiple visits to hospital practitioners (3.82; 2.01-7.27; <0.001). The unawareness of leprosy by 82.69% of the health workers so as the permanent decrease in material and financial resources allocated to leprosy control were identified as factors in link with the health system that helps explain this late detection. CONCLUSION: This study shows the need to implement strategies in the control programs to strengthen the diagnostic abilities of health workers, to improve the level of knowledge of the population on the early signs and symptoms of leprosy, to reduce stigmatization and to ban all forms of discrimination against leprosy patients.

Xu, Lu published the artcileWidespread receptor-driven modulation in peripheral olfactory coding, SDS of cas: 140-11-4, the main research area is .

Olfactory responses to single odors have been well characterized but in reality we are continually presented with complex mixtures of odors. We performed high-throughput anal. of single-cell responses to odor blends using Swept Confocally Aligned Planar Excitation (SCAPE) microscopy of intact mouse olfactory epithelium, imaging ∼10,000 olfactory sensory neurons in parallel. In large numbers of responding cells, mixtures of odors did not elicit a simple sum of the responses to individual components of the blend. Instead, many neurons exhibited either antagonism or enhancement of their response in the presence of another odor. All eight odors tested acted as both agonists and antagonists at different receptors. We propose that this peripheral modulation of responses increases the capacity of the olfactory system to distinguish complex odor mixtures

Kaul, Grace published the artcileNitazoxanide potentiates linezolid against linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in vivo., Computed Properties of 55981-09-4, the main research area is .

BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance is a growing menace, claiming millions of lives all over the world. In this context, drug repurposing is one approach gaining interest as a suitable alternative to conventional drug discovery and development. METHODS: Whole-cell assays were used to screen FDA-approved drugs to identify novel antimicrobial agents active against bacterial pathogens. Following identification of nitazoxanide, its various characteristics, such as antimicrobial activity against MDR isolates, time-kill kinetics, ability to synergize with approved drugs, antibiofilm activity and ability to generate resistance in Staphylococcus aureus, were determined, followed by determination of its in vivo potential against MDR S. aureus. RESULTS: Nitazoxanide demonstrated a potent in vitro antistaphylococcal profile, including equipotent activity against clinical drug-resistant S. aureus and Enterococcus spp. Nitazoxanide exhibited concentration-dependent killing, significantly eradicated preformed S. aureus biofilm and S. aureus did not generate resistance to it. Nitazoxanide strongly synergized with linezolid both in vitro and in vivo against linezolid-susceptible and -resistant S. aureus, displaying superior activity to untreated control and drug-alone treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Nitazoxanide can be utilized in combination with linezolid against infections caused by linezolid-resistant S. aureus as it exhibits strong synergism in vitro and in vivo.
