Alkali‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Acylglycerol Estolides Exclusively from Castor Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
This work advances sustainable chemistry by converting renewable castor oil into high‐performance estolides via solvent‐free, low‐energy catalysis. ABSTRACT Estolides are oligomers composed of fatty acid (FA) monomers linked through secondary ester bonds located along the mid‐chain region.

Navigating adverse immunostimulation: A practical guide for clinical researchers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Problem Setting As drug development moves towards more complex products, early clinical development programmes are increasingly hampered by unwanted and/or unexpected activation of the immune system (adverse immune stimulation, AIS). Solution At the Centre for Human Drug Research, we have introduced standardized procedures to make AIS manageable, while

Adverse immunostimulation in early phase clinical trials: Key findings and recommendations based on the investigator's clinical experience

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Problem setting The emergence of therapeutic proteins has coincided with an increase of acute adverse immunostimulation (AIS). AIS has occured in clinical trials despite compliance with regulatory guidelines on preclinical evaluation and its incidence is anticipated to increase even further.

Repeated intradermal lipopolysaccharide challenge responses in healthy volunteers: Implications for clinical pharmacology studies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Intradermal application of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a Toll‐like receptor 4 agonist, induces a local inflammatory response and is used as a human challenge model to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of investigational medicinal products. While currently applied in a single, parallel‐group setting, alternative within‐subject designs involving repeated ...

Pharmacometric evaluation of pre‐referral rectal artesunate in children with severe malaria

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Parenteral artesunate is the preferred first‐line treatment for severe malaria. Pre‐referral rectal artesunate suppositories are recommended where parenteral treatment is inaccessible. In this study, we compared dihydroartemisinin exposure and model‐predicted early parasite clearance following rectal artesunate and intravenous artesunate in ...

Enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) score predicts hepatic decompensation and mortality

JHEP Reports
Background & Aims: In community pathways for detection of liver disease the most common reason for referral is fibrosis assessment. We investigated the impact of adding the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) score as a second-line test (subsequent to an ...

Safety and pharmacokinetics of inhaled aloxistatin: A first‐in‐human phase 1 dose escalation trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Aloxistatin (E64d) is a membrane‐permeable cysteine protease inhibitor prodrug that is converted by esterases to the active metabolite E64c (loxistatin). This first‐in‐human study evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of inhaled E64d in healthy volunteers.

Connecting Thoughts and Actions: A Managerial Process Model on Circular Business Model Innovation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Addressing environmental grand challenges such as resource scarcity requires circular business model innovation (CBMI) that enables firms to efficiently close and slow resource cycles through novel activity systems. Drawing on a grounded theory approach based on 59 in‐depth interviews with top managers from Swiss SMEs, we developed a process ...
