Abstract
Formulations containing more than one active ingredient are increasingly gaining popularity due to advantages with regard to patient convenience as well as reduced cost of production, packaging, and transportation. Such fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) demand for enhanced analytical methodologies and tools to efficiently achieve quality control of these complex products as compared to the conventional products containing only one active constituent. Highly efficient analytical methods can measure multiple constituents at once, improving their quality control. This review article discusses the challenges in the development of such methods due to the similarities or differences in the chemical identity of the participating drug molecules in an FDC. The latest developments in multiple analyte determination using various analytical techniques (HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, IR, powder XRD and DSC) are discussed, with a focus on special considerations in each case. The article discusses challenges with sample preparation of complex FDC products, and the use of Chemometrics and Quality by Design to develop efficient analytical methods. Lastly, an equation-based approach is proposed and demonstrated to arrive at a parameter referred to as "percentage efficiency gain" that would be useful in directly accessing the relevance and commercial benefits of a simultaneous method vis-a-vis separate methods for individual components.

Abstract
Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl) is regulated by the arrangement of its regulatory core, consisting sequentially of the SH3, SH2, and kinase (KD) domains, where an assembled or disassembled core corresponds to low or high kinase activity, respectively. It was recently established that binding of type II ATP site inhibitors, such as imatinib, generates a force from the KD N-lobe onto the SH3 domain and in consequence disassembles the core. Here, we demonstrate that the C-terminal αI-helix exerts an additional force toward the SH2 domain, which correlates both with kinase activity and type II inhibitor-induced disassembly. The αI-helix mutation E528K, which is responsible for the ABL1 malformation syndrome, strongly activates Abl by breaking a salt bridge with the KD C-lobe and thereby increasing the force onto the SH2 domain. In contrast, the allosteric inhibitor asciminib strongly reduces Abl's activity by fixating the αI-helix and reducing the force onto the SH2 domain. These observations are explained by a simple mechanical model of Abl activation involving forces from the KD N-lobe and the αI-helix onto the KD/SH2SH3 interface.

Abstract
Alteration of gut microbiota and microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) coexisted with stress-generated brain disorders, including depression. Herein, we investigated the effect of SCFAs in a treatment-resistant depression (TRD) model of rat. Rats were exposed to chronic-unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and repeated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) injections to generate a TRD-like phenotype. The cecal contents of these animals were engrafted into healthy-recipient rats and allowed to colonize for 4 weeks (TRD-FMT group). Blood, brain, colon, fecal, and cecal samples were collected for molecular studies. Rats exposed to CUMS + ACTH showed TRD-like phenotypes in sucrose-preference (SPT), forced swim (FST), and elevated plus maze (EPM) tests. The TRD-FMT group also exhibited anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. Administration of SCFAs (acetate, propionate, and butyrate at 67.5, 25, and 40 mM, respectively) for 7 days exerted robust antidepressant and antianxiety effects by restoring the levels of SCFAs in plasma and fecal samples, and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), serotonin, GABA, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the hippocampus and/or frontal cortex of TRD and TRD-FMT animals. SCFAs treatment elevated the expression of free-fatty acid receptors 2/3, BDNF, doublecortin, and zonula-occludens, and reduced the elevated plasma levels of kynurenine and quinolinic acid and increased mucus-producing goblet cells in TRD and TRD-FMT animals. In 16S sequencing results, decreased microbial diversity in TRD rats corresponds with differences in the genus of Faecalibacterium, Anaerostipes, Allobaculum, Blautia, Peptococcus, Rombustia, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-002, Solobacterium, Subdolibacterium, and Eubacterium ventriosum. SCFAs may impart beneficial effects via modulation of tryptophan metabolism, inflammation, neurotransmitters, and microbiota-gut-brain axis in TRD rats.

Abstract
As a major public health issue, colorectal cancer causes 9.4% of total cancer-related deaths and comprises 10% of new cancer diagnoses worldwide. In the year 2023, an estimated 153,020 people are expected to receive an identification of colorectal cancer (CRC), resulting in roughly 52,550 fatalities anticipated as a result of this illness. Among those impacted, approximately 19,550 cases and 3750 deaths are projected to occur in individuals under the age of 50. Irinotecan (IRN) is a compound derived from the chemical structure of camptothecin, a compound known for its action in inhibiting DNA topoisomerase I. It is employed in the treatment strategy for CRC therapies. Comprehensive in vivo and in vitro studies have robustly substantiated the anticancer efficacy of these compounds against colon cancer cell lines. Blending irinotecan in conjunction with other therapeutic cancer agents such as oxaliplatin, imiquimod, and 5 fluorouracil enhanced cytotoxicity and improved chemotherapeutic efficacy. Nevertheless, it is linked to certain serious complications and side effects. Utilizing nano-formulated prodrugs within "all-in-one" carrier-free self-assemblies presents an effective method to modify the pharmacokinetics and safety portfolio of cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. This review focuses on elucidating the mechanism of action, exploring synergistic effects, and innovating novel delivery approaches to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of irinotecan.

Abstract
Forced degradation studies provide rapid access to degradation products (DPs), where structural characterization and assessment of their potential toxicity are vital for pharmaceutical safety and regulatory compliance. As per the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Q1A R(2) guidelines, a forced degradation study of Bictegravir (BIC), a USFDA-approved drug for HIV wild type, in hydrolytic conditions (acid, base, and neutral) revealed the formation of six DPs in RP-HPLC (Reverse Phase- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) gradient elution program using a C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 µm) column. DP-1, 2, and 3 were characterized using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), whereas DP-4, 5, and 6 posed difficulties in characterization due to their isomeric nature. Using characteristic NOEs (Nuclear Overhauser Effect) from 2D ROESY NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) studies, we have elucidated diastereomeric DP-4/5 and isomeric DP-6/BIC configurational structures. Furthermore, in silico toxicity studies for the six degradation products were predicted for toxicity endpoints by employing DEREK, SARAH, and Pro Tox-II application tools. The DP-1 (methanamine) and DP-3 (carboxylic acid) resulting from acid-catalyzed hydrolysis, were predicted to have potential carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. These findings contribute significantly to our understanding of BIC's stability and safety profile in pharmaceutical development and underscore the rigorous characterization of stereoisomers by NMR that were further utilized for toxicity prediction.

Abstract
Two novel redox conopeptides with proline residues outside and within the active site disulfide loop were derived from the venom duct transcriptome of the marine cone snails Conus frigidus and Conus amadis. Mature peptides with possible post-translational modification of 4-trans-hydroxylation of proline, namely, Fr874, Fr890[P1O], Fr890[P2O], Fr906, Am1038, and Am1054, have been chemically synthesized and characterized using mass spectrometry. The estimated reduction potential of cysteine disulfides of synthetic peptides varied from -298 to -328 mV, similar to the active site cysteine disulfide motifs of the redox family of proteins. Fr906/Am1054 exhibited pronounced catalytic activity and assisted in improving the yields of natively folded globular form α-conotoxin ImI. Three-dimensional (3D) structures of the redox conopeptides were optimized using computational methods and verified by 2D-ROESY NMR spectroscopy: C. frigidus peptides adopt an N-terminal helical fold and C. amadis peptides adopt distinct structures based on the Phe4-Pro/Hyp5 peptide bond configuration. The shift in the cis-trans configuration of the Phe4-Pro/Hyp5 peptide bond of Am1038/Am1054 was observed between reduced free thiol and oxidized disulfide forms of the optimized peptides. The report confirms the position-specific effect of hydroxyproline on the oxidative folding of conotoxins and sequence diversity of redox conopeptides in the venom duct of cone snails.

Abstract
Herein, we report the design and synthesis of two series of pyrazole-tethered sulfamoyl phenyl acetamides and pyrazole-tethered sulfamoyl phenyl benzamides. The synthesized compounds were investigated for inhibiting two human carbonic anhydrases, human carbonic anhydrases (hCA) I and II, and those of the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, mtCA 1-3. The results indicate that, among the synthesized compounds, pyrazoles with 4-aminobenzene sulfonamide were more selective toward hCA I and II over mtCAs, and compounds with 3-aminobenzene sulfonamide were selective toward mtCA 1-3 over hCA I, II. Compound 6g showed significant and selective inhibition toward hCA I and II, with Ki values of 0.0366 and 0.0310 µM, respectively. Compound 5g exhibited the best inhibition toward mtCA 2, with a Ki value of 0.0617 µM. Among the benzamides, compound 9b exhibited significant activity toward mtCA 2, with a Ki value of 0.0696 µM. Selectivity of these compounds was further supported by docking studies. When tested for antitubercular activity, many compounds showed moderate to good inhibition against the Mtb H37Rv strain, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 4-128 µg/mL.

Abstract
A multicomponent domino reaction has been developed for the preparation of N-substituted 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles directly from various hydrazides (32 examples). The formation of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole involves the Smiles rearrangement of thiazolidinone, which results in the formation of carbodiimide intermediate that concomitantly undergoes amide-imidic acid tautomerism followed by cyclization. The protocol developed has wide applicability and provides the desired 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole in excellent yields. The GSD studies of NMR spectra of aliphatic substrates (4di, 4dh) revealed the formation of three products, whereas, in the case of allylic and benzylic substrates, thiazolidinones were obtained as the sole products. Furthermore, to elucidate the plausible mechanism, DFT studies were performed affirming carbodiimide as the crucial intermediate for the interconversion of thiazolidinone to oxadiazole.

Abstract
The urgent development of newer alternatives has been deemed a panacea for tackling emerging antimicrobial resistance effectively. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 1,3-diaryl substituted pyrazole-based urea and thiourea derivatives as antimicrobial agents. Preliminary screening results revealed that compound 7a (3,4-dichlorophenyl derivative) exhibited potent activity against S. aureus (MIC = 0.25 μg mL-1) and compound 7j (2,4-difluorophenyl derivative) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC = 1 μg mL-1). Compounds 7a and 7j were non-toxic to Vero cells with a favorable selectivity index of 40 and 200, respectively, and demonstrated good microsomal stability. Compound 7a exhibited equipotent activity (MIC = 0.25 μg mL-1) against various multidrug-resistant strains of S. aureus, which include various strains of MRSA and VRSA, and elicited bacteriostatic properties. In an enzymatic assay, 7a effectively inhibited DNA gyrase supercoiling activity at a concentration of 8 times MIC. Further, molecular modeling studies suggested that compound 7a binds at the active site of DNA gyrase with good affinity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The emergence of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern in late November 2021 presaged yet another stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Paxlovid, a co-packaged dosage form of two antiviral drugs (nirmatrelvir and ritonavir) developed by Pfizer, received its first FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and conditional marketing by European Medical Agency in patients at high risk of developing severe COVID-19. AREAS COVERED We reviewed the timeline of the drug nirmatrelvir from its discovery to authorization by FDA. After 1 year of its authorization, numerous studies and reports on paxlovid's use and post-use consequences are available. This review summarizes the complete journey of paxlovid from its development, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approvals, ongoing clinical trials, and safety measures, followed by discussions on recent updates on drug-drug interactions, adverse effects, and relapse of COVID-19. EXPERT OPINION Paxlovid, a new oral antiviral therapy for COVID-19, has shown promising results in clinical trials and has the potential to be effective against the pandemic, particularly for individuals at high risk of severe illness. Comorbidity usage and pharmacovigilance will play a significant stake in the future of paxlovid development. Second-generation Mpro inhibitors play an important role in the upcoming problems associated with COVID-19.

Abstract
Aim: This study investigated the impact of food intake and circadian rhythms on the pharmacokinetics of mavacamten. Materials & methods: A sensitive bioanalytical method for quantifying mavacamten in rat plasma was developed and validated. This method was applied to assess the effect of chronopharmacology and food intake on the pharmacokinetics of mavacamten in rats. Results: A circadian variation at two doses resulted in significant changes in the volume of distribution, clearance and time of maximum plasma concentration of mavacamten (p < 0.05). In addition, food intake had an insignificant impact on the pharmacokinetic parameters except for the time of maximum plasma concentration (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These pharmacokinetic changes and human chronotype findings will help optimize dosing time.

Abstract
We report microwave-assisted selenation and exo-trig cyclization of secondary allylic carboxamides using Woollins' reagent, a serendipitous finding observed during an attempt to synthesize N-allylbenzoselenoamide compounds. This resulted in the first reported synthesis of 2-aryl-5-methyl selenazolines. Twenty-one diversified selenazolines and three late-stage-functionalized drug molecules were synthesized in 42-93% and 25-52% yield, respectively, and these were evaluated further for their anti-proliferative activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 outbreak has put enormous pressure on the scientific community to detect infection rapidly, identify the status of disease severity, and provide an immediate vaccine/drug for the treatment. Relying on immunoassay and a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) led to many false-negative and false-positive reports. Therefore, detecting biomarkers is an alternative and reliable approach for determining the infection, its severity, and disease progression. Recent advances in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) enable the protein biomarkers even at low concentrations, thus facilitating clinicians to monitor the treatment in hospitals. AREAS COVERED This review highlights the role of LC-MS/MS in identifying protein biomarkers and discusses the clinically significant protein biomarkers such as Serum amyloid A, Interleukin-6, C-Reactive Protein, Lactate dehydrogenase, D-dimer, cardiac troponin, ferritin, Alanine transaminase, Aspartate transaminase, gelsolin and galectin-3-binding protein in COVID-19, and their analysis by LC-MS/MS in the early stage. EXPERT OPINION Clinical doctors monitor significant biomarkers to understand, stratify, and treat patients according to disease severity. Knowledge of clinically significant COVID-19 protein biomarkers is critical not only for COVID-19 caused by the coronavirus but also to prepare us for future pandemics of other diseases in detecting by LC-MS/MS at the early stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the rising cases of treatment-refractory affective disorders, the discovery of newer therapeutic approaches is needed. In recent times, probiotics have garnered notable attention in managing stress-related disorders. Herein, we examined the effect of Bacillus coagulans Unique IS-2® probiotic on anxiety- and depression-like phenotypes employing maternal separation (MS) and chronic-unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model in rats. METHODS Both male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to MS + CUMS. Probiotic treatment was provided for 6 weeks via drinking water. Anxiety- and depression-like phenotypes were assessed using sucrose-preference test (SPT), forced-swimming test (FST), elevated-plus maze test (EPM), and open-field test (OFT). Blood, brain, intestine, and fecal samples were obtained for biochemical and molecular studies. RESULTS Stress-exposed rats drank less sucrose solution, showed increased passivity, and explored less in open-arms in SPT, FST, and EPM, respectively. These stress-generated neurobehavioral aberrations were alleviated by 6-week of Bacillus coagulans Unique IS-2 treatment. The overall locomotor activity in OFT remained unchanged. The decreased levels of BDNF and serotonin and increased levels of C-reactive protein, TNF-α, IL-1β, and dopamine, in the hippocampus and/or frontal cortex of stress-exposed rats were reversed following probiotic treatment. Administration of probiotic also restored the systemic levels of L-tryptophan, L-kynurenine, kynurenic-acid, and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, villi/crypt ratio, goblet-cell count, Firmicutes to Bacteroides ratio, and levels of acetate, propionate, and butyrate in fecal samples. These results indicate remodeling of the microbiome gut-brain axis in Bacillus coagulans Unique IS-2 recipient rats. However, protein levels of doublecortin, GFAP, and zona occludens in the hippocampus and occludin-immunoreactivity in the intestine remained unchanged. No prominent sex-specific changes were noted. CONCLUSION Anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects of Bacillus coagulans Unique IS-2 in MS + CUMS rat model may be mediated via reshaping the microbiome gut-brain axis.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase (AO) has garnered curiosity as a non-CYP metabolizing enzyme in drug development due to unexpected consequences such as toxic metabolite generation and high metabolic clearance resulting in the clinical failure of new drugs. Therefore, poor AO mediated clearance prediction in preclinical nonhuman species remains a significant obstacle in developing novel drugs. Various isoforms of AO, such as AOX1, AOX3, AOX3L1, and AOX4 exist across species, and different AO activity among humans influences the AO mediated drug metabolism. Therefore, carefully considering the unique challenges is essential in developing successful AO substrate drugs. The in vitro to in vivo extrapolation underpredicts AO mediated drug clearance due to the lack of reliable representative animal models, substrate-specific activity, and the discrepancy between absolute concentration and activity. An in vitro tool to extrapolate in vivo clearance using a yard-stick approach is provided to address the underprediction of AO mediated drug clearance. This approach uses a range of well-known AO drug substrates as calibrators for qualitative scaling new drugs into low, medium, or high clearance category drugs. So far, in vivo investigations on chimeric mice with humanized livers (humanized mice) have predicted AO mediated metabolism to the best extent. This review addresses the critical aspects of the drug discovery stage for AO metabolism studies, challenges faced in drug development, approaches to tackle AO mediated drug clearance's underprediction, and strategies to decrease the AO metabolism of drugs.

Abstract
Photostabilizers have been used to impart stability to an FDA-approved chemical UV-A filter avobenzone against the UV-A radiations and sunlight. The thiol group of glutathione plays a critical role in imparting the photostabilization activity of glutathione on avobenzone. The current report aims to evaluate the photostabilization activity of multiple thiols containing cysteine peptides on avobenzone. Cysteine-tripeptide and cysteine-pentapeptide were chemically synthesized and characterized using mass spectrometry. Synthetic peptides were assessed for their photostabilization activity on the enolic-form of the avobenzone under natural sunlight using UV-spectroscopy in both protic and aprotic solvents. Unlike glutathione which has pronounced activity in protic solvents, cysteine-pentapeptide exhibits similar photoprotection activity in both protic and aprotic solvents. Computational calculations using DFT suggest that peptide cysteine thiols may assist in the reversal of the photoketonization process of avobenzone thereby exhibiting the photoprotection activity to the enolic-form of avobenzone. Peptide cysteine thiols lower the activation energy barrier of keto-to-enol tautomerization of avobenzone by 30 kcal/mol by assisting the proton shuttle through a six-membered transition state. The current report emphasizes the applications of peptide thiols in cosmetics and may help in the development of peptides as aesthetic medicines.

Abstract
Stereoselective chiral molecules are responsible for specific biological functions in nature. At present, more than half of the prescribed drugs are chiral. Living organisms display divergent pharmacological responses to the enantiomers, leading to altered toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Thus, chiral analysis, separation, and extraction are crucial for ensuring enantiomeric purity to develop safe and effective medication. In recent times, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with appealing structures are gaining importance because of their fascinating properties as a sorbent and stationary phase. MOFs are crystalline porous solid materials built by interconnecting metal ions or clusters and organic linkers. This review explores the advancements in MOFs for the isolation and separation of chiral active pharmaceutical drugs.

Abstract
The quinoline moiety remains a privileged antitubercular (anti-TB) pharmacophore, whereas 8-nitrobenzothiazinones are emerging potent antimycobacterial agents with two investigational candidates in the clinical pipeline. Herein, we report the synthesis and bioevaluation of 30 piperazinyl-benzothiazinone-based quinoline hybrids as prospective anti-TB agents. Preliminary evaluation revealed 24/30 compounds exhibiting substantial activity (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] = 0.06-1 µg/ml) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv. Cytotoxicity analysis against Vero cells found these to be devoid of any significant toxicity, with the majority displaying a selectivity index of >80. Furthermore, potent nontoxic compounds, when screened against clinical isolates of drug-resistant Mtb strains, demonstrated equipotent inhibition with MIC values of 0.03-0.25 µg/ml. A time-kill study identified a lead compound exhibiting concentration-dependent bactericidal activity, with 10× MIC completely eliminating Mtb bacilli within 7 days. Along with acceptable aqueous solubility and microsomal stability, the optimum active compounds of the series manifested all desirable traits of a promising antimycobacterial candidate.

Abstract
Depression is a debilitating mental disorder that affects >322 million people worldwide. Despite the availability of several antidepressant agents, many patients remain treatment refractory. A growing literature study has indicated the role of gut microbiota in neuropsychiatric disorders. Herein, we examined the psychobiotic-like activity of multi-strain probiotic formulation in maternal separation (MS) and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) models of anxiety- and depression-like phenotypes in Sprague-Dawley rats. Early- and late-life stress was employed in both male and female rats by exposing them to MS and CUMS. The multi-strain probiotic formulation (Cognisol) containing Bacillus coagulans Unique IS-2, Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40, Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58, Bifidobacterium lactis UBBLa-70, Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01, and Bifidobacterium infantis UBBI-01 at a total strength of 10 billion cfu along with l-glutamine was administered for 6 weeks via drinking water. Neurobehavioral assessment was done using the forced swim test (FST), sucrose preference test (SPT), elevated plus maze (EPM), and open field test (OFT). Animals were sacrificed after behavioral assessment, and blood, brain, and intestine samples were collected to analyze the levels of cytokines, metabolites, and neurotransmitters and histology. Animals exposed to stress showed increased passivity, consumed less sucrose solution, and minimally explored the open arms in the FST, SPT, and EPM, respectively. Administration of multi-strain probiotics along with l-glutamine for 6 weeks ameliorated the behavioral abnormalities. The locomotor activity of animals in the OFT and their body weight remained unchanged across the groups. Cognisol treatment reversed the decreased BDNF and serotonin levels and increased CRP, TNF-α, and dopamine levels in the hippocampus and/or frontal cortex. Administration of Cognisol also restored the plasma levels of l-tryptophan, l-kynurenine, kynurenic-acid, and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid; the Firmicutes-to-Bacteroides ratio; the levels of acetate, propionate, and butyrate in fecal samples; the villi/crypt ratio; and the goblet cell count, which manifested in the restoration of intestinal functions. We suggest that the multi-strain probiotic and glutamine formulation (Cognisol) ameliorated the MS + UCMS-generated anxiety- and depression-like phenotypes by reshaping the gut microbiome-brain activity in both sexes.

Abstract
Ever increasing drug resistance has become an impeding threat that continues to hamper effective tackling of otherwise treatable tuberculosis (TB). Such dismal situation necessitates identification and exploration of multitarget acting newer chemotypes with bactericidal efficacy as a priority, that could efficiently hinder uncontrolled spread of TB. In this context, herein we present design, synthesis and bio-evaluation of chalcone tethered bezoxazole-2-amines as promising anti-TB chemotypes. Preliminary screening of 24 compounds revealed initial hits 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl and 5-nitrofuran-2-yl derivative exhibiting selective inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv. Further, structural optimization of hit compounds generated 12 analogues, amongst which 5-nitrofuran-2-yl derivatives displayed potent inhibition of not only drug-susceptible (DS) Mtb but also clinical isolates of drug-resistant (DR) Mtb strains equipotently. Moreover, cell viability test against Vero cells found these compounds with favourable selectivity. Time kill analysis led to the identification of the lead compound (E)-1-(4-((5-chlorobenzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)amino)phenyl)-3-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, that demonstrated bactericidal killing of Mtb bacilli. Together with acceptable microsomal stability, the lead compound of the series manifested all desirable traits of a promising antitubercular agent.

Abstract
It was recently reported (Xie et al., 2022) that the Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl) ATP-site inhibitor imatinib also binds to Abl's myristoyl binding pocket, which is the target of allosteric Abl inhibitors. This was based on a crystal structure of a truncated Abl kinase domain construct in complex with imatinib bound to the allosteric site as well as further isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), NMR, and kinase activity data. Although imatinib's affinity for the allosteric site is significantly weaker (10 µ M) than for the ATP site (10 nM), imatinib binding to the allosteric site may disassemble the regulatory core of Abl, thereby stimulating kinase activity, in particular for Abl mutants with reduced imatinib ATP-site affinity. It was argued that the previously observed imatinib-induced opening of the Abl regulatory core (Skora et al., 2013; Sonti et al., 2018) may be caused by the binding of imatinib to the allosteric site and not to the ATP site. We show here that this is not the case but that indeed imatinib binding to the ATP site induces the opening of the regulatory core at nanomolar concentrations. This agrees with findings that other type-II ATP-site inhibitors (nilotinib, ponatinib) disassemble the regulatory core despite demonstrated negligible binding to the allosteric site.

Abstract
Increasing evidence uncovers the involvement of gut microbiota in the metabolism of numerous pharmaceutical drugs. The human gut microbiome harbours 10-100 trillion symbiotic gut microbial bacteria that utilize drugs as substrates for enzymatic processes to alter host metabolism. Thus, microbiota-mediated drug metabolism can change the conventional drug action course and cause inter-individual differences in efficacy and toxicity, making it vital for drug discovery and development. This review focuses on drug biotransformation pathways and discusses different models for evaluating gut microbiota role in drug metabolism. Significance Statement This review emphasizes the importance of gut microbiota and different modes of drug metabolism mediated by them. It provides information on in vivo, in vitro, ex vivo, in silico and multi-omics approaches for identifying the role of gut microbiota in the metabolism. Further, it highlights the significance of gut microbiota mediated metabolism in the process of new drug discovery and development as a rationale for safe and efficacious drug therapy.

Abstract
Assessment of drug candidate's potential to inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes remains crucial in pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. Both direct and time-dependent inhibition of drug metabolizing CYP enzymes by the concomitant administered drug is the leading cause of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), resulting in the increased toxicity of the victim drug. In this context, pharmaceutical companies have grown increasingly diligent in limiting CYP inhibition liabilities of drug candidates in the early stages and examining risk assessments throughout the drug development process. This review discusses different strategies and decision-making processes for assessing the drug-drug interaction risks by enzyme inhibition and lays particular emphasis on in vitro study designs and interpretation of CYP inhibition data in a stage-appropriate context.

Abstract
Knowledge of the metabolic stability of a new drug substance eliminated by biotransformation is essential for envisaging the pharmacokinetic parameters required for deciding drug dosing and frequency. Strategies aimed at modifying lead compounds may improve metabolic stability, thereby reducing the drug dosing frequency. Replacement of selective hydrogens with deuterium can effectively enhance the drug's metabolic stability by increasing the biological half-life. Further, cyclization, change in ring size, and chirality can substantially improve the metabolic stability of drugs. The microsomal t1/2 approach for measuring drug in vitro intrinsic clearance by automated LC-MS/MS offers sensitive high-throughput screens with reliable data. The obtained in vitro intrinsic clearance from metabolic stability data helps predict the drug's in vivo total clearance using different scaling factors and hepatic clearance models. This review summarizes all the recent approaches and technological advancements in metabolic stability studies for narrowing down the potential lead compounds in drug discovery. Further, we summarized the potential pitfalls and assumptions made during the in vivo intrinsic clearance estimation from in vitro intrinsic clearance.

Abstract
Objective To describe outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19, particularly the association of renal replacement therapy to mortality. Design A single-center prospective observational study was carried out. Setting ICU of a tertiary care center. Patients Consecutive adults with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU. Intervention Renal replacement therapy. Main variables of interest Demographic data, medical history, illness severity, type of oxygen therapy, laboratory data and use of renal replacement therapy to generate a logistic regression model describing independent risk factors for mortality. Results Of the total of 166 patients, 51% were mechanically ventilated and 26% required renal replacement therapy. The overall hospital mortality rate was 36%, versus 56% for those requiring renal replacement therapy, and 68% for those with both mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy. The logistic regression model identified four independent risk factors for mortality: age (adjusted OR 2.8 [95% CI 1.8–4.4] for every 10-year increase), mechanical ventilation (4.2 [1.7–10.6]), need for continuous venovenous hemofiltration (2.3 [1.3–4.0]) and C-reactive protein (1.1 [1.0–1.2] for every 10 mg/L increase). Conclusions In our cohort, acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy was associated to a high mortality rate similar to that associated to the need for mechanical ventilation, while multiorgan failure necessitating both techniques implied an extremely high mortality risk.

Abstract
Glucose is a major energy fuel for the brain, however, less is known about specificities of its metabolism in distinct cerebral areas. Here we examined the regional differences in glucose utilization between the hypothalamus and hippocampus using in vivo indirect 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-[13C]-MRS) upon infusion of [1,6-13C2]glucose. Using a metabolic flux analysis with a 1-compartment mathematical model of brain metabolism, we report that compared to hippocampus, hypothalamus shows higher levels of aerobic glycolysis associated with a marked gamma-aminobutyric acid-ergic (GABAergic) and astrocytic metabolic dependence. In addition, our analysis suggests a higher rate of ATP production in hypothalamus that is accompanied by an excess of cytosolic nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) production that does not fuel mitochondria via the malate-aspartate shuttle (MAS). In conclusion, our results reveal significant metabolic differences, which might be attributable to respective cell populations or functional features of both structures.

Abstract
The constituent SH3, SH2, and kinase domains of the Abl kinase regulatory core can adopt an assembled (inactive) or a disassembled (active) conformation. We show that this assembly state strictly correlates with the conformation of the kinase activation loop induced by a total of 14 ATP site ligands, comprising all FDA-approved Bcr-Abl inhibiting drugs. The disassembly of the core by certain (type II) ligands can be explained by an induced push on the kinase N-lobe via A- and P-loop toward the SH3 domain. A similar sized P-loop motion is expected during nucleotide binding and release, which would be impeded in the assembled state, in agreement with its strongly reduced kinase activity.

Abstract
The proton double quantum-carbon single quantum correlation experiment has been applied to designed peptides in the solid state in natural isotopic abundance. Analogous to nOe studies in solution, through-space double-quantum connectivities have been exploited to obtain the cis-trans conformational polymorphism of diproline residues occurring at β-turns in the peptides.

Abstract
Unconstrained γ(4) amino acid residues derived by homologation of proteinogenic amino acids facilitate helical folding in hybrid (αγ)n sequences. The C12 helical conformation for the decapeptide, Boc-[Leu-γ(4)(R)Val]5-OMe, is established in crystals by X-ray diffraction. A regular C12 helix is demonstrated by NMR studies of the 18 residue peptide, Boc-[Leu-γ(4)(R)Val]9-OMe, and a designed 16 residue (αγ)n peptide, incorporating variable side chains. Unconstrained (αγ)n peptides show an unexpectedly high propensity for helical folding in long polypeptide sequences.
