Dose-adjusted concentrations of Posaconazole oral suspension in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients and analysis of the influential factors / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To analyze the dose-adjusted concentrations of Posaconazole oral suspension in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation （HSCT） and their influential factors. METHODS Data were collected from hospitalized HSCT patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University （Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital） from January 2021 to April whtwhm@yeah.net 2023 who took Posaconazole oral suspension for the prevention of invasive fungal disease （IFD） and received blood concentration of posaconazole. The rate of concentration attainment and clinical failure rate of posaconazole for the prevention of IFD were evaluated， and one-way and multiple linear regression analyses were performed for the influential factors of dose-adjusted concentrations （C0/D） of posaconazole. RESULTS A total of 44 patients were enrolled； the mean C0 of posaconazole in patients was （0.99±0.94） µg/mL， and 20 patients had a C0≥0.7 μg/mL， with a concentration attainment rate of 45.45% for the prevention of IFD； 13 cases were clinical failures， with a clinical failure rate of 29.55%. Of 24 patients who did not achieve C0/D of posaconazole for IFD prophylaxis， one patient was a clinical failure despite timely dose adjustment of posaconazole in seven patients； seven of the thirteen patients who did not undergo dose adjustment were clinical failures； and the remaining four patients were switched to other antifungal agents. The results of univariate analysis showed that gender， body mass index （BMI）， renal function， combined use of sodium phenytoin， omeprazole and metoclopramide had a significant effect on the C0/D of posaconazole （P＜0.05）； the results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that gender， BMI and combined use of sodium phenytoin were the independent factors affecting the C0/D of posaconazole （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Significant individual differences are reflected in the blood concentration of Posaconazole oral suspension； gender， BMI and combined use of sodium phenytoin are independent factors affecting the C0/D of posaconazole.

Design and synthesis of novel benzimidazole derivatives as anti-tuberculosis agents / 药学学报

In recent studies some urea derivatives have been identified as potent anti-tuberculosis agents by targeting mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (MmpL3). However, this compound series as exemplified by AU1235 exhibited poor in vitro pharmacokinetic profile. With AU1235 as the lead, we have identified a novel benzimidazole series as potential anti-tuberculosis agents by using scaffold hopping approach. Among these synthesized compounds, 2-aminobenzimidazole derivative 8b showed the potent anti-tuberculosis activity with the MIC value of 0.03 microg x mL(-1). This compound also showed improved metabolic stability compared to AU1235. Our investigation indicated that benzimidazole derivatives are the promising lead for further optimization as anti-tuberculosis agents.

Design, synthesis and in vitro activity of glycinamide-bearing compounds as DPP-IV inhibitors / 药学学报

To research the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of glycinamide-bearing compounds that used as inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), P32/98 and compound A were chosen as the leading compounds, heterocycles containing nitrogen atom were introduced to form amide, and different residues on a-position of carbonyl were designed. The nineteen designed compounds were synthesized by a simple route and were evaluated as inhibitors of DPP-IV. All of the structures were characterized by 1H NMR and HRMS. The preliminary SAR result was obtained.
