A skin pharmacokinetics study of permeation enhancers: The root cause of dynamic enhancement effect on in vivo drug permeation

Jiuheng Ruan et al.

Summary: Skin pharmacokinetics (SPK) can explain the different effects of permeation enhancers on drug permeation at the kinetic level. SPK of permeation enhancers can be classified into lateral elimination and longitudinal elimination, and evaluated using the diffusion ratio (DRSC-EP). The linear relationship between parameters such as ke-enhancer and Delta Cmax-drug, MRTenhancer and Delta Tmax-drug, and AUCt-enhancer and Delta AUCt-drug suggests that SPK precisely controls drug permeation in vivo.

Antifungal activity and potential mechanism of action of caspofungin in combination with ribavirin against Candida albicans

Yuting Wang et al.

Summary: The number of invasive fungal infections has increased significantly, leading to high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Caspofungin (CAS) resistance is a growing concern, limiting the treatment options for severe invasive Candida albicans infections. This study investigated the activity of CAS in combination with ribavirin (RBV) against C. albicans, and found that the combination had synergistic effects in inhibiting biofilm formation and reducing tissue damage. The findings provide insights into drug resistance and suggest potential applications for RBV in the treatment of C. albicans infections.

Assessing the Solubility of Baricitinib and Drug Uptake in Different Tissues Using Absorption and Fluorescence Spectroscopies

Roya Mohammadi-Meyabadi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the solubility of baricitinib in Transcutol and determine the drug recovery using in vitro techniques. Results showed that Transcutol enhanced the drug solubility and allowed baricitinib to penetrate different human tissues. This suggests that Transcutol may be a suitable solvent for further development of topical formulations.

Candida albicans-The Virulence Factors and Clinical Manifestations of Infection

Jasminka Talapko et al.

Summary: Candida albicans is a common commensal fungus in the human body, which can cause various infections when the balance with the host immune system is disrupted. Factors such as dysbiosis of microbiota, immune dysfunction, and mucosal barrier damage contribute to the transition of C. albicans from a normal flora to a pathogenic state. The presence of C. albicans in the bloodstream can lead to invasive infections.
