Detection of Newly Emerging Psychoactive Substances Using Raman Spectroscopy and Chemometrics
(2018-09-12)
A novel approach for the identification of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) by means of Raman spectroscopy coupled with Principal Components Analysis (PCA) employing the largest dataset of NPS reference materials to date ...
Use of quercetin in animal feed : effects on the P-gp expression and pharmacokinetics of orally administrated enrofloxacin in chicken
(2018-03-13)
Modulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, encoded by Mdr1) by xenobiotics plays central role in pharmacokinetics of various drugs. Quercetin has a potential to modulate P-gp in rodents, however, its effects on P-gp modulation ...
Rational design of novel fluorescent tagged glutamic acid dendrimers with different terminal groups and in-silico analysis of their properties
(2017-09-25)
Dendrimers are hyperbranched polymers with a multifunctional architecture that can be tailored for the use in various biomedical applications. Peptide dendrimers are particularly relevant for drug delivery applications due ...
Poly-glutamic dendrimer-based conjugates for cancer vaccination - a computational design for targeted delivery of antigens
(2017-08-10)
Computational techniques are useful to predict interaction models and molecular properties for the design of drug delivery systems, such as dendrimers. Dendrimers are hyperbranched macromolecules with repetitive building ...
Intended and Unintended Use of Cathinone Mixtures
(2017-06-28)
Introduction: Cathinones are one of the most popular categories of new psychoactive substances (NPS) consumed. Cathinones have different pharmacological activities and receptor selectivity for monoamine transporters based ...
Optimization of protein loaded PLGA nanoparticles manufacturing parameters following a quality-by-design approach
(2016-10-26)
Development of a multivariate-based regression model for estimating the critical attributes for establishing a design-space for poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles formulated by a double emulsion-solvent ...
In silico modelling of prostacyclin and other lipid mediators to nuclear receptors reveal novel thyroid hormone beta receptor antagonist properties.
(2016-01-01)
Prostacyclin (PGI2) is a key mediator involved in cardiovascular homeostasis, acting predominantly on two receptor types; cell surface IP receptor and cytosolic peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) β/δ. Having ...
Survey of knowledge of legal highs (novel psychoactive substances) amongst London pharmacists
(2015-06-01)
Purpose: To determine pharmacists’ knowledge of legal highs (novel psychoactive substances; NPS). Approach: A questionnaire was handed out at 2 London pharmacist continuing education events in mid-2014. These events update ...
Intramolecular cyclization of β-nitroso-o-quinone methides : A theoretical endoscopy of a potentially useful innate 'reclusive' reaction
(2015-01-14)
Oxidatively generated β-nitroso-o-quinone methides undergo an o- and/or peri-intramolecular cyclization to arene-fused 1,2-oxazoles, 1,2-oxazines or indoles. The reaction, found to be an innate process, has been scrutinized ...
