Methotrexate (MTX) has been a longstanding therapeutic option for mycosis fungoides (MF); however, data on its real‐world effectiveness remain limited. This study aimed to assess real‐world outcomes of oral MTX in the treatment of MF. Data from five referral centres for cutaneous lymphoma in Greece were retrospectively reviewed with the baseline‐ and ...

Therapeutic Efficacy of Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine and Prevalence of Resistance Markers in Tanzania Prior to Revision of Malaria Treatment Policy: Plasmodium Falciparum Dihydrofolate Reductase and Dihydropteroate Synthase Mutations in Monitoring in Vivo Resistance. [PDF]
Prior to the 2001 malarial treatment policy change in Tanzania, we conducted trials to assess the efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and the usefulness of molecular markers in monitoring resistance.

ABSTRACT Background Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune condition resulting in hair loss, sometimes just in small patches but occasionally across larger areas like the entire scalp. For localized AA, treatments often involve injecting corticosteroids, such as triamcinolone acetonide (TrA), directly into the affected areas.

PCFT‐Independent Cellular Uptake of Cyclic Cell‐Penetrating Peptide‐Conjugated Folic Acid
Cell‐penetrating peptide (CPP)‐conjugated folic acid mediates efficient internalization of folic acid that is independent of the presence of proton‐coupled folate transporter (PCFT) on the intestinal cells. CPP‐conjugated folic acid demonstrates superior cellular uptake at all studied pH and in the presence of PCFT inhibitors and shows enhanced ...

Effect of Dimerization on Dihydrofolate Reductase Catalysis
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima (TmDHFR) forms a very stable homodimer, while DHFRs from other organisms are monomers. We investigated the effect of dimerization on DHFR catalysis by preparing a dimeric variant, Xet-3, of DHFR from Escherichia coli (EcDHFR).

On the relationship between thermal stability and catalytic power of enzymes [PDF]
The possible relationship between the thermal stability and the catalytic power of enzymes is of great current interest. In particular, it has been suggested that thermophilic or hyperthermophilic (Tm) enzymes have ...

High‐Throughput Tiling of Essential mRNAs Increases Potency of Antisense Antibiotics
The systematic tiling of essential genes’ mRNA here presented, proposes a valuable tool for the identification of novel PNA sequences with antibiotic potential. The high‐throughput synthetic set up opens the door to investigating thousands of sequences in an economic way and ultimately identifies potent antisense oligonucleotides while also giving room

Cell-Cycle-Dependent Pharmacology of Methotrexate in HL-60
The role of the susceptibility of cells and the pharmacokinetics of MTX on the time-dependent change of methotrexate (MTX) pharmacologic action in HL-60 (human leukemia cell) was investigated from the viewpoints of the rhythm of DNA synthesis.
