Identification and characterization of the functional tetrameric UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Klebsiella pneumoniae

mBio
In all kingdoms of life, the enzyme uridine diphosphate-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP) occupies a central role in metabolism, as its reaction product uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glc) is involved in various crucial cellular processes.

Pharmacokinetic Assessment of Atazanavir and Favipiravir Following Echinacea Supplementation: A Controlled Herb–Drug Interaction Investigation

Biopharmaceutics &Drug Disposition, EarlyView.
Pharmacokinetic interactions between Echinacea and two antiviral drugs, favipiravir and atazanavir, were assessed in rats. The findings suggest that Echinacea does not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of favipiravir and atazanavir. These results provide preliminary evidence that concurrent use of Echinacea with these antiviral drugs may be ...

Investigations Into the Metabolism and Elimination of Tesofensine in Human Urine

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This study investigated tesofensine metabolism and urinary elimination after a single 483 μg intake via a dietary supplement. In six volunteers, urine was collected up to 659 h. LC‐HRMS/MS identified four tentative metabolites; maximum urinary concentrations reached 4 ng/mL within 4–48 h.
