Abstract

A method for the simultaneous determination of TM208 and its major metabolite (sulfine 4-methyl-piperazine-1-carbodithioc acid 3-cyano-3,3-diphenylpropyl ester, TM208-SO) was developed and validated for the first time. The analytes were extracted from plasma samples by liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Flunarizine hydrochloride was used as the internal standard. Chromatographic separations were performed on a Diamonsil C(18) analytical column. The mobile phases consisted of 20 mM ammonium acetate adjusted to pH 4.20 with acetic acid (solvent A) and acetonitrile (solvent B). The analytes were detected at 254 nm after linear gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min. Linearity was obtained over the concentration range of 0.104-5.20 microg/mL for TM208 and 0.145-5.80 microg/mL for TM208-SO in rat plasma. The limit of quantification was 0.104 microg/mL for TM208 and 0.145 microg/mL for TM208-SO, respectively. The inter- and intra-day precision was less than 12.8% for TM208 and 14.1% for TM208-SO. And the accuracy was 96.2-111.1% for TM208 and 95.5-108.6% for TM208-SO. This analytic procedure was applied to a pharmacokinetic study of TM208 and TM208-SO in rats, and the pharmacok...Continue Reading

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
