Currently pyrethroid resistance has been reported in western and eastern Africa, therefore monitoring resistance is important in all malaria endemic countries. The overall goal of this study is to monitor resistance levels in malaria vectors in Okitipupa. Susceptibility of malaria vectors to insecticides was determined in Ayeka, Idepe, Igbodigo and Okitipupa districts of Okitipupa town using WHO test. Three sentinel sites from each district were selected and mosquitoes were collected from each sentinel site. The collected Anopheles mosquitoes were reared to adults in the insectary of the Department of Biological Sciences of Olusegun AgaguUniversity of Science and Technology, Okitipupa. Two to five days old An. gambiae mosquitoes were assessed for resistance levels to Pirimiphos-methyl (0.25%), Lambdacyhalothrin (0.05%), Bendiocarb (0.1%), Permethrin (0.75%) and Propoxur (0.1%). Knockdown time (KDT) was recorded up to 60 minutes and maintained for 24hrs post-exposure on 10 % glucose solution, after which mortality was recorded. The susceptibility test showed that mosquito mortality after 24 hrs for Pirimiphos-methyl was 25%, Lambdacyhalothrin was 0%, Propoxur was 75%, Bendiocarb was 100% and Permethrin was 50%. This study revealed development of resistance to Pirimiphos-methyl, Permethrin and Lambdacyhalothrin in An. gambiae s. l. across all sentinel sites. The implication of this was discussed and suggestion for monitoring was made before this problem becomes widespread in Okitipupa town.","PeriodicalId":16581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76657767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) may cause skin irritation in both humans and animals. Adverse effects, such as skin dryness, barrier destruction, dermatitis, and pruritus, developed following the repeated application of 10% SDS to a local site. Therefore, the present study investigated the antipruritic effects of YKSCH on skin irritation induced by a repeated SDS stimulation in mice and attempted to elucidate the underlying mechanism of action. ICR mice were stimulated with 10% SDS and co-treated with oral YKSCH extract for four days. Only oral YKSCH extract was administered on the fifth day. Scratching behavior was observed 24 h after the last application of SDS. Intraepidermal nerve growth was investigated by an immunofluorescence analysis. NGF concentrations in the epidermis were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of amphiregulin (Areg) and semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. The oral administration of YKSCH (200-400 mg/kg) dose-dependently suppressed pruritus, significantly reduced intraepidermal nerve growth, and down-regulated epidermal Areg mRNA expression in SDS-treated mice. These results suggest that YKSCH exerts antipruritic effects against SDS-induced pruritus in mice. The mechanism of action of YKSCH may involve reductions in intraepidermal nerve density due to the down-regulated expression of Areg.","PeriodicalId":16581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design","volume":"287 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73098337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of ceftazidime-avibactam combined with high dose meropenem in the treatment of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) klebsiella pneumonia (Kp) bacteremia. Methods: In 1 critically ill patient with XDR-Kp diagnosed through blood culture, tigecycline combined with cefoperazone-sulbactam and tigecycline combined with polymyxin B were successively given, and both showed poor anti-infection effects. The clinical pharmacists recommend ceftazidime-avibactam combined with high dose meropenem for anti-infection therapy. Through literature review, clinical pharmacists dynamically adjusted the dose according to the creatinine clearance rate of patients. Clinical pharmacists analyzed whether meropenem (MIC ≥ 16 mg/L) could be combined with ceftazidine-avibactam for XDR-Kp and recommended the dose of meropenem for 2g q8h and intravenous pumping for 4 hours. Results: Ceftazidime-avibactam combined with a large dose of meropenem pumped into the vein for a long time made XDR-Kp rapidly negative conversion, with clinical symptoms, signs and inflammatory indicators such as body temperature, PCT, and CRP significantly improved, without adverse reactions such as liver and kidney function. Conclusion: Ceftazidime-avibactam combined with high dose meropenem has a significant therapeutic effect on XDR-Kp and the efficacy is safe and reliable.","PeriodicalId":16581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77648301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iodine can inhibit and kill microorganisms in pharmaceutical preparations. The risk of microbial contamination of cellular products can be reduced when cultured in the presence of iodine. This however, may impact the sensitivity of microbiological tests. Iodine-containing Preparations does not guarantee sterility but may just reduce the proliferation rate of microorganisms, microbiological testing of medicinal products remains obligatory. Thus, an appropriate method to test for microbial contamination of iodine-containing products has to be validated. Objective: To establish a method that would allow microbial limit testing of four iodine-containing preparations (concentrated iodine tincture, compound iodine oral solution, iodine tincture, and iodine glycerin). Methods: To specifically determine the degree of contamination in the four in-house iodine preparations, sodium thiosulfate was used to reduce the iodine molecules to iodide ions, thereby eliminating the intrinsic antibacterial property of the preparations. Then, the suitability of this method was evaluated according to the regulations for non-sterile microbial limit tests. Results: The neutralization method effectively eliminated the interference of the antibacterial iodine component, rendering the control bacteria detectable. The recovery ratio of the test strains met the required standards. Conclusion: The neutralization method with sodium thiosulfate as the iodine neutralizer is suitable for microbial limit testing of concentrated iodine tincture, compound iodine oral solution, iodine tincture, and iodine glycerin, with the results being accurate and reliable.","PeriodicalId":16581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85838642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
