Abstract
Both latent and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) have been causing significant concern worldwide. A novel drug, pretomanid (PA-824), has shown a potent bactericidal effect against both active and latent forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) and a synergistic effect when combined with pyrazinamide and moxifloxacin. This study aimed to develop triple combination spray dried inhalable formulations composed of antitubercular drugs, pretomanid, moxifloxacin, and pyrazinamide (1:2:8 w/w/w), alone (PaMP) and in combination with an aerosolization enhancer, L-leucine (20 % w/w, PaMPL). The formulation PaMPL consisted of hollow, spherical, dimpled particles (<5 μm) and showed good aerosolization behaviour with a fine particle fraction of 70 %. Solid-state characterization of formulations with and without L-leucine confirmed the amorphous nature of moxifloxacin and pretomanid and the crystalline nature of pyrazinamide with polymorphic transformation after the spray drying process. Further, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis revealed the predominant surface composition of L-leucine on PaMPL dry powder particles. The dose-response cytotoxicity results showed pyrazinamide and moxifloxacin were non-toxic in both A549 and Calu-3 cell lines up to 150 µg/mL. However, the cell viability gradually decreased to 50 % when the pretomanid concentration increased to 150 µg/mL. The in vitro efficacy studies demonstrated that the triple combination formulation had more prominent antibacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1 µg/mL against the MTb H37Rv strain as compared to individual drugs. In conclusion, the triple combination of pretomanid, moxifloxacin, and pyrazinamide as an inhalable dry powder formulation will potentially improve treatment efficacy with fewer systemic side effects in patients suffering from latent and multidrug-resistant TB.

Abstract
The therapeutic repertoire for tuberculosis (TB) remains limited despite the existence of many TB drugs that are highly active in in vitro models and possess clinical utility. Underlying the lack of efficacy in vivo is the inability of TB drugs to penetrate microenvironments inhabited by the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including host alveolar macrophages. Here, we determined the ability of the phenoxazine PhX1 previously shown to be active against M. tuberculosis in vitro to differentially penetrate murine compartments, including plasma, epithelial lining fluid, and isolated epithelial lining fluid cells. We also investigated the extent of permeation into uninfected and M. tuberculosis-infected human macrophage-like Tamm-Horsfall protein 1 (THP-1) cells directly and by comparing to results obtained in vitro in synergy assays. Our data indicate that PhX1 (4,750 ± 127.2 ng/ml) penetrates more effectively into THP-1 cells than do the clinically used anti-TB agents, rifampin (3,050 ± 62.9 ng/ml), moxifloxacin (3,374 ± 48.7 ng/ml), bedaquiline (4,410 ± 190.9 ng/ml), and linezolid (770 ± 14.1 ng/ml). Compound efficacy in infected cells correlated with intracellular accumulation, reinforcing the perceived importance of intracellular penetration as a key drug property. Moreover, we detected synergies deriving from redox-stimulatory combinations of PhX1 or clofazimine with the novel prenylated amino-artemisinin WHN296. Finally, we used compound synergies to elucidate the relationship between compound intracellular accumulation and efficacy, with PhX1/WHN296 synergy levels shown to predict drug efficacy. Collectively, our data support the utility of the applied assays in identifying in vitro active compounds with the potential for clinical development. IMPORTANCE This study addresses the development of novel therapeutic compounds for the eventual treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Tuberculosis continues to progress, with cases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) resistance to first-line medications increasing. We assess new combinations of drugs with both oxidant and redox properties coupled with a third partner drug, with the focus here being on the potentiation of M. tuberculosis-active combinations of compounds in the intracellular macrophage environment. Thus, we determined the ability of the phenoxazine PhX1, previously shown to be active against M. tuberculosis in vitro, to differentially penetrate murine compartments, including plasma, epithelial lining fluid, and isolated epithelial lining fluid cells. In addition, the extent of permeation into human macrophage-like THP-1 cells and H37Rv-infected THP-1 cells was measured via mass spectrometry and compared to in vitro two-dimensional synergy and subsequent intracellular efficacy. Collectively, our data indicate that development of new drugs will be facilitated using the methods described herein.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones cause phototoxic reactions, manifested as different types of skin lesions, including hyperpigmentation. The disturbances of melanogenesis indicate that fluoroquinolones may affect cellular processes in melanocytes. It has been reported that these antibiotics may bind with melanin and accumulate in pigmented cells. The study aimed to examine the changes in melanogenesis in human normal melanocytes exposed to UVA radiation and treated with lomefloxacin and moxifloxacin, the most and the least fluoroquinolone, respectively. The obtained results demonstrated that both tested fluoroquinolones inhibited melanogenesis through a decrease in tyrosinase activity and down-regulation of tyrosinase and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor production. Only lomefloxacin potentiated UVA-induced melanogenesis. Under UVA irradiation lomefloxacin significantly enhanced melanin content and tyrosinase activity in melanocytes, although the drug did not cause an increased expression of tyrosinase or microphthalmia-associated transcription factor. The current studies revealed that phototoxic activity of fluoroquinolones is associated with alterations in the melanogenesis process. The difference in phototoxic potential of fluoroquinolones derivatives may be connected with various effects on UVA-induced events at a cellular level.

Abstract
A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated for the identification and quantification of moxifloxacin hydrochloride-related substances in finished dosage forms. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase (0.01 M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate as buffer and methanol in the ratio of 70:30) eluted in isocratic mode. The HPLC flow rate was 1.0 mL min-1 , and peaks were monitored at 230 nm using a photodiode array (PDA) detector. The column temperature was kept constant at 30°C, and the injection volume was 10 μL. The run time of the method was 16 min. The method was validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Linearity was recorded at various concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 1.5 μg mL-1 for all the moxifloxacin impurities. Linearity, regression value, recovery, %relative standard deviation (RSD) of method precision values were found within the acceptance limits. The method for related substances (RS) in moxifloxacin was found to be specific, linear, accurate, precise, rugged, and robust. The validated method was suitable for the quantification of the RSs in moxifloxacin drug products. The method was applied in quality control lab for the analysis of moxifloxacin impurities in stability analysis.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica-based nanoparticles (MSNs) are considered promising drug carriers because of their ordered pore structure, which permits high drug loading and release capacity. The dissolution of Si and Ca from MSNs can trigger osteogenic differentiation of stem cells towards extracellular matrix calcification, while Mg and Sr constitute key elements of bone biology and metabolism. The aim of this study was the synthesis and characterization of sol-gel-derived MSNs co-doped with Ca, Mg and Sr. Their physico-chemical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), Brunauer Emmett Teller and Brunauer Joyner Halenda (BET/BJH), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ζ-potential measurements. Moxifloxacin loading and release profiles were assessed with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) cell viability on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts and their hemolytic activity in contact with human red blood cells (RBCs) at various concentrations were also investigated. Doped MSNs generally retained their textural characteristics, while different compositions affected particle size, hemolytic activity and moxifloxacin loading/release profiles. All co-doped MSNs revealed the formation of hydroxycarbonate apatite on their surface after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) and promoted mitochondrial activity and cell proliferation.

Abstract
In vitro drug release systems have recently received tremendous attention because they allow noninvasive, convenient, and prolonged administration of pharmacological agents. On-demand epidermal drug release systems can improve treatment efficiency, prevent multidrug resistance, and minimize drug toxicity to healthy cells. In addition, real-time monitoring of drug content is also essential for guiding the determination of drug dosage and replacing drug carriers in time. Therefore, it is important to integrate the above properties in one ideal epidermal patch. Herein, photonic crystals (PCs) based on Fe3O4@C nanoparticles were introduced into drug-loaded poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-AAc)) hydrogel-functionalized textiles. Drug loading and release depended on the expansion and contraction of the hydrogels. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the hydrogels was adjusted to 40 °C, which is higher than the skin temperature, by varying the content of hydrophilic comonomer acrylic acid (AAc) to store the drug at room temperature, and on-demand release was achieved by mild thermal stimulation. Moreover, the lattice spacing (d) of PCs varied with the expansion and contraction of the hydrogels, which can cause the color of P(NIPAM-AAc) hydrogel-functionalized textiles to change. These synchronous thermoresponsive chromic drug uptake and release behaviors provided an effective method for visual and real-time monitoring of drug content. Furthermore, in view of the poor mechanical properties of hydrogel wound dressings, textile matrices were composited to prevent holistic breaking during the stretching process. Biological experiments proved that the drug-loaded P(NIPAM-AAc) hydrogel-functionalized textiles had good antibacterial properties and wound-healing effects.

Abstract
Conjunctival goblet cells (GCs) are specialized epithelial cells that secrete mucins onto the ocular surface to maintain the wet environment. Assessment of GCs is important because various ocular surface diseases are associated with their loss. Although there are GC assessment methods available, the current methods are either invasive or difficult to use. In this report, we developed a simple and non-invasive GC assessment method based on fluorescence imaging. Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution was used to label GCs via topical administration, and then various fluorescence microscopies could image GCs in high contrasts. Fluorescence imaging of GCs in the mouse conjunctiva was confirmed by both confocal reflection microscopy and histology with Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) labeling. Real-time in-vivo conjunctival GC imaging was demonstrated in a rat model by using both confocal fluorescence microscopy and simple wide-field fluorescence microscopy. Different GC densities were observed in the forniceal and bulbar conjunctivas of the rat eye. Moxifloxacin based fluorescence imaging provides high-contrast images of conjunctival GCs non-invasively and could be useful for the study or diagnosis of GC related ocular surface diseases.

Abstract
In this work, a series of novel moxifloxacin-amide-1,2,3-triazole-isatin hybrids 7a-l were designed and synthesized. The in vitro antibacterial activity against a panel of clinically important Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including drug-resistant pathogens was also evaluated. All hybrids showed considerable activity against the tested pathogens with MIC values of ≤0.03 to 128 μg/mL, and some of them such as hybrids 7e, 7g and 7j were comparable to or better than the parent moxifloxacin (MIC: ≤0.03-8 μg/mL). Moreover, hybrids 7e, 7g and 7j also demonstrated low cytotoxicity towards CHO cells. However, the in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles of these three hybrids were generally far inferior to the parent moxifloxacin. The structure-activity relationship and structure-cytotoxicity relationship were also studied and discussed which may help with the identification of new chemical entities as potent antibacterial agents.

Abstract
It is known that resistance of bacteria is one of the major issues in drug treatment. To cope this issue, it is required to synthesize new analogues which contest against mutated bacteria. This research study included synthesis of several derivatives of moxifloxacin by adding different phenol and alkyl halide at third position of carboxylic group with esterification reaction and the structures of synthesized derivatives were characterized by spectroscopic techniques i.e. 1H NMR, FT-IR and mass-spectrometry. In continuation, antimicrobial activities of the analogues were also evaluated against number of Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The experimental results of novel derivatives exhibit significant antibacterial and antifungal profile in which so many synthesized derivatives influenced a similar and enhanced activity against selected microbes that were S. typhi, P. mirabilis, P. aeruginosa, S. flexneri, B. subtilis as compared to the moxifloxacin. Moreover, few innovative derivatives were also produced better anti-fungal activity against F. solani and T. rubrum. Furthermore, the enzymatic activity of all analogues has been analyzed against urease and carbonic anhydrase and concluded that C2 was selected inhibitor of urease enzyme.

Abstract
A series of carboxamide derivatives of moxifloxacin has been synthesized. The synthesized derivatives has been characterization by using spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis, IR, H1NMR and Mass spectra, which suggested that incoming group has occupied azabicylo groups of selected moxifloxacin at 7th position. Antimicrobial screening has been systematically carried out against various gram-positive, Gram-negatives and fungi in comparison with parent drug. Enzymatic assay were also performed.
