Journal: Co-resistance to isoniazid and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis at a tertiary care hospital in Thailand. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 7, 2024 In addition, the Hr-TB clinical isolates presented co-resistance to ethambutol (3/161, 1.9%), levofloxacin (2/96, 2.1%), and pyrazinamide (24/118, 20.3%)...The susceptibility profiles of Hr-TB clinical isolates, especially when they are co-resistant to second-line drugs, are critical in the selection of the appropriate treatment regimen to prevent treatment failure. This study highlights the susceptibility profiles of the WHO-recommended treatment regimen in Hr-TB clinical isolates from a tertiary care hospital in Thailand and the concordance and importance of using the phenotypic drug susceptibility testing or genotypic drug susceptibility testing for accurate and comprehensive interpretation of results.

Journal: Adsorption of Levofloxacin onto Graphene Oxide/Chitosan Composite Aerogel Microspheres. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 26, 2024 In addition, to obtain deeper insight into the adsorption process, the thermodynamics and kinetics of the process were also investigated with four different models of LOF adsorption. The thermodynamic modeling results revealed that LOF adsorption is exothermic, and the kinetic investigation demonstrated that LOF adsorption is generally consistent with a pseudo-first-order rate law.

Journal: Core-shell structured carbon dots with up-conversion fluorescence and photo-triggered nitric oxide-releasing properties. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 15, 2024 Moreover, the chromophores in the carbon core irradiated by visible LED light generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) that will oxidize the guanidine groups located on the shell of the Arg-CDs and further increase the NO releasing capacity remarkably. The as-synthesized Arg-CDs show excellent biocompatibility, bright up-conversion fluorescence, and a light-controlled ROS & NO releasing ability, which can be a potential light-modulated nanoplatform to integrate bioimaging and therapeutic functionalities.

Journal: Genome sequencing of Porostereum spadiceum to study the degradation of levofloxacin. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2024 Using UV and high-resolution mass spectrometry, we were able to detect five levofloxacin degradation products. Their putative identity based on their MS fragmentation patterns led to the conclusion that the piperazine moiety was the main target of oxidative modification of levofloxacin by P. spadiceum, leading to a decrease in antibiotic activity.

Journal: Levofloxacin alleviates blood-brain barrier disruption following cerebral ischemia and reperfusion via directly inhibiting A-FABP. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2024 Importantly, the BBB- and neuro-protective effects of levofloxacin were abolished in A-FABP or MMP-9 knockout mice, suggesting that the therapeutic effects of levofloxacin highly depended on specific targeting of the A-FABP-MMP-9 axis. Overall, our study demonstrates that levofloxacin alleviates A-FABP-induced BBB disruption and neural tissue injury following cerebral I/R, and unveils its therapeutic potential for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Journal: Effects of Apex Size on Dissolution Profiles in the USP II Paddle Apparatus. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 6, 2024 Differences in apex centrality by 3 mm did not affect the dissolution rate. Our results indicate that apex vessels with low apex heights have a mount-resolving effect, but the degree of dissolution improvement by avoiding the coning phenomenon depends on the formulation characteristics used in the dissolution tests.

Journal: Photocatalytic activity evaluation of polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 assisted synthesis of 1D oxygen-vacancy-rich Bi5O7BrxI1-x nanorod solid solution. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 2, 2024 With the aid of regulating the energy band structure of photocatalytic materials and equilibrating the response towards visible light and redox ability, a novel oxygen-vacancy-rich BiOBrI nanorod solid solution was synthesized by polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 assisted solvothermal method, and its photocatalytic behavior was investigated for the degradation of antibiotic levofloxacin under visible light...The photocatalytic degradation pathways were explored and the toxicity of the intermediates was also appraised. The present work provides a mild and feasible construction of solid solutions and introduction of oxygen vacancies to eliminate environmentally refractory organic pollutants with photocatalytic technology.
