Optimized Background Regimen for Treatment of Active Tuberculosis with the Next-Generation Benzothiazinone Macozinone (PBTZ169)

Stewart Cole, Anthony Vocat, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Andréanne Lupien

The efficacy of the standardized four-drug regimen (comprising isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol) for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is menaced by the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drugresistant (XDR) strains of ...

Drugs Based on de novo-developed Peptides are Coming of Age

Christian Heinis, Kaycie Marie Butler

Naturally evolved peptides, such as the hormone oxytocin or the anti-bacterial vancomycin, have seen decades of success as powerful therapeutics due to many of the favorable properties of peptides. Not every desired target has a naturally occurring bioacti ...

Allosteric cross-talk in chromatin can mediate drug-drug synergy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ursula Röthlisberger, Tina Riedel, Giulia Palermo

Exploitation of drug-drug synergism and allostery could yield superior therapies by capitalizing on the immensely diverse, but highly specific, potential associated with the biological macromolecular landscape. Here we describe a drug-drug synergy mediated ...

New 1-hydroxy-2-thiopyridine derivatives active against both replicating and dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Anthony Vocat

Tuberculosis (TB) treatment is confounded by the range of metabolic states displayed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, by the long duration required and by the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant strains. Latent TB infection is especially difficult to tre ...

Optimization of drug combinations using Feedback System Control

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Andrea Brett Gasser

We describe a protocol for the discovery of synergistic drug combinations for the treatment of disease. Synergistic drug combinations lead to the use of drugs at lower doses, which reduces side effects and can potentially lead to reduced drug resistance, w ...

Allosteric Optical Control of a Class B G-Protein-Coupled Receptor

Johannes Broichhagen

Allosteric regulation promises to open up new therapeutic avenues by increasing drug specificity at G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, drug discovery efforts are at present hampered by an inability to precisely control the allosteric site. Herei ...

Micro- and nanoscale hierarchical structure of core-shell protein microgels

Giovanni Dietler, Raffaele Mezzenga, Francesco Simone Ruggeri

Protein nanofibrils were first discovered in the context of misfolding and neurodegenerative diseases but have recently been found in naturally occurring functional materials including algal adhesives, bacterial coatings, and even mammalian melanosomes. Th ...

Stabilization of the Amorphous Structure of Spray-Dried Drug Nanoparticles

Esther Amstad

The bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs strongly increases if they are formulated as amorphous materials because the solubility of the amorphous phase is much higher than that of the crystal. Moreover, the stability of these particles against crystallizat ...

Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This paper compares the percent drug relea ...

Self-heating hydrogel for mechanically-controlled drug release

Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Due to our active lifestyle, knee cartilage is at risk for focal defects. Unfortunately, the native healing properties of the articular cartilage are very limited. New strategies to treat cartilage defects are then developed such as the local delivery of g ...

A streamlined search technology for identification of synergistic drug combinations

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Andrea Brett Gasser

A major key to improvement of cancer therapy is the combination of drugs. Mixing drugs that already exist on the market may offer an attractive alternative. Here we report on a new model-based streamlined feedback system control (s-FSC) method, based on a ...
