All these supportive treatments are aided by some medication through oral route, which produces several side effects on prolonged use. Present work endeavors to combine these different treatments: supportive and medicated treatments by incorporating sustained release medicated topical patch into the inner side of surgical braces through specially designed patch holder mechanism for easy incorporation and removal of patch. It not only eliminates need of oral medication but also gives localized administration of medication, thus resulting in more patient compliant treatment with improving overall safety profile. For developing model prototype of the same, combination of surgical knee brace and oral NSAID (diclofenac) was selected. In order to execute the working prototype, a pocket mechanism to incorporate a sustained release patch of 7 cm X 7 cm size was designed. Patch formulation was randomly selected based on trial batches for sustaining drug release up to 12 h, considering put on- put off phases of brace of 12 h each. The pocket was designed in such a way that in case of any discomfort or other unfavorable conditions, it can be easily removed from the brace. Flexibility in terms of size, shape and drug release profiles proves its versatility for other supportive braces and medications. Thus this innovation can be easily extended for other braces like elbow braces, shoulder braces, back braces etc. It not only enhances efficacy of the current treatments but also improves patient compliance significantly.","PeriodicalId":312909,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 5th International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127844122","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}

Bleck, Matthias Schneider, J. Jose","doi":"10.3390/ecmc2019-06289","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ecmc2019-06289","url":null,"abstract":"Breast-milk αS1-casein was suggested as an agonist of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).1 Pathogen recognition receptor TLR4 responds to lipopolysaccharides and a wide range of molecules, from proteins to metal ions. In consequence, three criteria are required to validate agonists which directly activate TLR4 and exclude TLR4-agonisticity through contaminants.2 Recently, we demonstrated that αS1-casein fulfilled two of these criteria. (i) αS1-Casein required TLR4/MD2 complex as well as cofactor CD14 to induce IL-8 secretion via TLR4 and (ii) αS1-casein bound TLR4, MD2 and CD14.3 Aim of this study was to (iii) identify a synthetic amino acid sequence derived from human αS1-casein responsible for TLR4-agonistic effects. \u0000For this, we analyzed the amino acid sequence (AAS) of αS1-casein in silico. αS1‑Casein showed to be α-helical and was likely to be intrinsically disordered in the region corresponding to R16-K99 of αS1-casein. Six truncated variants of αS1-casein coding for parts of the AAS were purified from Escherichia coli. These variants were tested for binding to HEK293 cells transfected with TLR4 (TLR4+) by flow cytometry and their induction of IL-8 secretion via TLR4. Variants of αS1-casein truncated at the N-terminus (E35-W185, R57-W185, V77-W185) bound TLR4+ induced lower IL-8 secretion with less AAS (7.5 ng/ml, 4.8 ng/ml, 3.6 ng/ml). Variant corresponding to E93-W185 of αS1-casein was neither binding TLR4+ nor inducing IL-8 secretion. Therefore, we postulated V77-E92 derived from αS1-casein as TLR4-agonist. This was confirmed by a synthetic peptide V77-E92 derived from αS1-casein, which induced an IL-8 secretion of 0.95 ng/ml. Hence, the third criteria of TLR4-agonists fulfilled and activation of TLR4 through contamination was excluded. \u0000In conclusion, αS1-casein was proofed as an agonist directly activating TLR4. This supported our postulate that αS1-casein has at least two functions, a nutritional and an immune active one. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Vordenbaumen, S. et al.

In order to characterize the microemulsions, accelerated stability tests, pH, and internal phase droplets size measurements were performed. Then, a double face hydrophilic and lipophilic stick was prepared from the microemulsion chosen and characterized according to their hardness and coloration. The results showed that the microemulsion did not change its internal phase droplets size throughout the study. The stick hydrophilic face had lower hardness and showed less color change than lipophilic face.

The synthesis of 3‑[(2‑hydroxy‑5‑nitrobenzylidene)amino]‑2‑(2‑hydroxy‑5‑nitrophenyl)‑2,3‑dihydroquinazolin‑4(1H)‑one was described, and its spectral analysis, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities were presented [3].

The dynamics of activity against S. aureus was analyzed using the time-kill curve method, and the activity was considered as bacteriostatic.
