Abstract

Validated methods for the determination of CA1, the active agent derived from the prodrug CA1P, in human plasma and urine, and of CA1P and three glucuronides CA1G1, CA1G2 and CA1DG in human urine were developed using LC-MS. Plasma CA1 was extracted using solid phase extraction and validated over the range 5-1000 nM. Urine samples were analysed without extraction, and the assays validated over the range 50-2000 nM (CA1P), 25-2000 nM (CA1), 50-40,000 nM (CA1G1 and CA1G2) and 25-4000 nM (CA1DG). The mean correlation coefficient (r²) was ≥ 0.997 for all assays. The intra-day and inter-day accuracy and precision were within the generally accepted criteria for bioanalytical methods (<15%). Mean recovery of CA1 from plasma was 101%, and 97% from urine. Mean urine recovery of CA1P was 98%, CA1G1 96%, CA1G2 93% and CA1DG 93%. The method was applied to plasma and urine samples from a recently completed clinical trial of the prodrug. Peak plasma concentrations of up to 470 nM CA1 were seen. The majority of drug-related material measured in urine comprised of the two monoglucuronides; CA1 and the diglucuronide were about 10-fold lower. No CA1P was detectable in urine.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
