Inhibitors of bacterial efflux pumps that also inhibit efflux pumps of cancer cells.

Anticancer research, 2012
Bacteria and cancer cells frequently increase their resistance to chemotherapeutics as a consequence of therapy. Whenever studied, refractory response to chemotherapy is due to the over-expression of efflux pumps that render the bacterium or cancer cell resistant not only to the agent used for therapy, but to many, if not all other agents as well ...

Virtual screening and biological activity evaluation of novel efflux pump inhibitors targeting RE-CmeB in Campylobacter spp.

One Health Advances
RE-CmeABC is a variant of the efflux pump CmeABC in the major zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter, which is much more potent in conferring resistance to various antibiotics for the treatment of Campylobacter infections in both veterinary and medical clinics.

Cyclic Mechanical Loading of Cardiomyocytes via Pressure‐Driven Non‐Planar Membrane Deformation in a Bioreactor System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this research article, Mansoor and coworkers present a novel device that applies controlled mechanical stimuli to cardiomyocytes using pressure‐driven membrane deformation. By exposing cells to physiologically and pathologically relevant loading conditions, the platform reproduces distinct structural, functional and molecular responses associated ...

The effect of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazine on antibiotic susceptibility in MDR Enterobacteriaceae isolates in Babylon, Iraq

Medical Journal of Babylon
Background: One of the efflux pump inhibitors is carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) that has often been found to increase the susceptibility of a number of multi-drug resistant (MDR) MDR bacteria, isolated from human clinical specimens ...

A Fentanyl‐Responsive Microneedle Patch for Harm Reduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A fentanyl‐responsive microneedle patch is developed as a self‐regulating overdose intervention that releases naloxone upon detecting fentanyl. The system employs aptamer‐functionalized nanoparticles embedded in a swellable polymer matrix to enable rapid, on‐demand drug delivery through the skin.

De Novo Design of Membrane‐Targeting Antimicrobial Peptides Against Gram‐Negative Bacteria Using a Generative Artificial Intelligence Framework

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance caused by Gram‐negative bacteria remains difficult to overcome due to the protective outer membrane. To address this challenge, a multi‐condition constrained generative AI framework, GenMTAMP is proposed for de novo membrane‐targeting antimicrobial peptide design by integrating physicochemical and spatial structure descriptors.
