Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

Anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and ulcerogenic activity of a zinc-diclofenac complex in rats
We investigated the anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and ulcerogenic activity of a zinc-diclofenac complex (5.5 or 11 mg/kg) in male Wistar rats (180-300 g, N = 6) and compared it to free diclofenac (5 or 10 mg/kg) and to the combination of diclofenac (

Stimuli-Responsive Crosslinked Chitosan/PVP/PEG Hydrogel Networks for Targeted Drug Delivery and Antimicrobial Performance. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In this study, a unique pH‐sensitive PEG/C/PVA hydrogel based on chitosan (C), polyvinyl propylene (PVP) and polyethylenglycol (PEG) crosslinked with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was fabricated. This PEG/C/PVA hydrogel was designed to deliver different drugs with distinct release profiles, including diclofenac sodium and ciprofloxacin, and ...
