Abstract
BACKGROUND With Helicobacter pylori's increasing antibiotic resistance, evidence of more effective treatments is lacking in China, where H. pylori prevalence is nearly 50%. Thus, we performed a network meta-analysis to compare therapeutic regimens. METHODS Data extracted from eligible randomized controlled trials from January 2000 to September 2021 were entered into a Bayesian hierarchical random-effects model to evaluate the efficacy and safety of H. pylori eradication regimens. RESULTS This study included 101 trials involving 21,745 patients. Vonoprazan-bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (VBQT) ranked the highest [surfaces under cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA), 83.64%], followed by high-dose amoxicillin dual therapy (HDDT) [SUCRA, 79.70%, odds ratio (OR)=1.31, 95% credible interval (CrI) (0.36, 4.72)] and proton pump inhibitor-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) [SUCRA, 63.59%, OR=1.59, 95% CrI (0.48, 5.24)]. HDDT [OR=2.47, 95% CrI (1.51, 4.06)], BQT [OR=2.04, 95% CrI (1.69, 2.47)], concomitant quadruple nonbismuth therapy (CT) [OR=1.93, 95% CrI (1.19, 3.15)], and sequential therapy (ST) [OR=1.86, 95% CrI (1.50, 2.32)] had higher eradication rates than standard triple therapy (TT). ST (SUCRA, 82.52%) and VBQT (SUCRA, 83.89%) had the highest eradication rate before and after 2010 in the effectiveness ranking, respectively. Furthermore, the H. pylori eradication rate of patients receiving 14-day BQT treatment was higher than that of 10-day BQT regimen [OR=2.55, 95% CI (1.84, 3.53)] and 7-day BQT regimen [OR=3.64, 95% CI (2.64, 5.01)]. CONCLUSIONS The TT regimen was not an optimal choice in China for H. pylori eradication; VBQT, HDDT, and BQT showed better efficacy. After 2010, there is a trend toward significance that VBQT provided a higher H. pylori eradication rate in China, but with only 1 randomized controlled trial. Thus, more supportive real-world data are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling to assess the drug-drug interactions of anaprazole with clarithromycin and amoxicillin in patients undergoing eradication therapy of H. pylori infection. Eur J Pharm Sci 2023; 189:106534. [PMID: 37480962 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) interactions of anaprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. METHODS The PBPK models for anaprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin were constructed using the GastroPlus™ software (Version 9.7) based on the physicochemical data and PK parameters obtained from literature, then were optimized and validated in healthy subjects to predict the plasma concentration-time profiles of these three drugs and assess the predictive performance of each model. According to the analysis of the properties of each drug, the developed and validated models were applied to evaluate potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of anaprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin. RESULTS The developed PBPK models properly described the pharmacokinetics of anaprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin well, and all predicted PK parameters (Cmax,ss, AUC0-τ,ss) ratios were within 2.0-fold of the observed values. Furthermore, the application of these models to predict the anaprazole-clarithromycin and anaprazole-amoxicillin DDIs demonstrates their good performance, with the predicted DDI Cmax,ss ratios and DDI AUC0-τ,ss ratios within 1.25-fold of the observed values, and all predicted DDI Cmax,ss, and AUC0-τ,ss ratios within 2.0-fold. The simulated results show no need to adjust the dosage when co-administered with anaprazole in patients undergoing eradication therapy of H. pylori infection since the dose remained in the therapeutic range. CONCLUSION The whole-body PBPK models of anaprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin were built and qualified, which can predict DDIs that are mediated by gastric pH change and inhibition of metabolic enzymes, providing a mechanistic understanding of the DDIs observed in the clinic of clarithromycin, amoxicillin with anaprazole.

Enzymatically-Crosslinked Gelatin Hydrogels with Nanostructured Architecture and Self-Healing Performance for Potential Use as Wound Dressings. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15030780.

Abstract
Development of natural protein-based hydrogels with self-healing performance and tunable physical properties has attracted increased attention owing to their wide potential not only in the pharmaceutical field, but also in wounds management. This work reports the development of a versatile hydrogel based on enzymatically-crosslinked gelatin and nanogels loaded with amoxicillin (Amox), an antibiotic used in wound infections. The transglutaminase (TGase)-crosslinked hydrogels and encapsulating nanogels were formed rapidly through enzymatic crosslinking and self-assembly interactions in mild conditions. The nanogels formed through the self-assemble of maleoyl-chitosan (MAC5) and polyaspartic acid (PAS) may have positive influence on the self-healing capacity and drug distribution within the hydrogel network through the interactions established between gelatin and gel-like nanocarriers. The physicochemical properties of the enzymatically-crosslinked hydrogels, such as internal structure, swelling and degradation behavior, were studied. In addition, the Amox release studies indicated a rapid release when the pH of the medium decreased, which represents a favorable characteristic for use in the healing of infected wounds. It was further observed through the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility assays that the optimized scaffolds have great potential to be used as wound dressings.

Abstract
Elucidating the interactions between plastic nanoparticles and small molecules is important to understanding these interactions as they occur in polluted waterways. For example, plastic that breaks down into micro- and nanoscale particles will interact with small molecule pollutants that are also present in contaminated waters. Other components of natural water, such as dissolved organic matter, will also influence these interactions. Here we use a collection of complementary NMR techniques to examine the binding between polystyrene nanoparticles and three common antibiotics, belonging to a class of molecules that are expected to be common in polluted water. Through examination of proton NMR signal intensity, relaxation times, saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR, and competition STD-NMR, we find that the antibiotics have binding strengths in the order amoxicillin < metronidazole ≪ levofloxacin. Levofloxacin is able to compete for binding sites, preventing the other two antibiotics from binding. The presence of tannic acid disrupts the binding between levofloxacin and the polystyrene nanoparticles, but does not influence the binding between metronidazole and these nanoparticles.

Kavanagh ON. Alkalising agents in urinary tract infections: theoretical contraindications, interactions and synergy. Ther Adv Drug Saf 2022; 13:20420986221080794. [PMID: 35321040 PMCID: PMC8935415 DOI: 10.1177/20420986221080794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Alkalising agents have the potential to enhance the efficacy of many antimicrobial agents used in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections; they also have the potential to cause significant patient harm if used incorrectly. This work seeks to illustrate and quantify these risks and synergies by modelling drug solubility and supersaturation against pharmacokinetic data for commonly used antibiotic agents. Methods: Solubility-pH relationships are employed to quantify the crystalluria risk for compounds which may be reasonably expected to be co-prescribed—or co-administered—with urinary alkalisers (amoxicillin, nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin). These results are correlated against reports of crystalluria in the literature and in the EU Adverse Drug Reaction database. Results and Discussion: We find a correlation between the maximum theoretical supersaturation attainable and crystalluria reports for sulfamethoxazole, amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin. Shifts in urine pH which can be induced by alkalising agents may produce supersaturated states (and thus induce crystalluria) and may also affect antimicrobial efficacy. The importance of employing biorelevant media to improve predictive capacity of this analysis is also discussed. Conclusion: Despite their widespread use, alkalising agents have significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of the most common drugs used to treat UTIs. With self-care set to increase, all OTC products should be critically re-evaluated to ensure patient safety, particularly within contexts where healthcare professionals are not involved in treatment selection. This analysis suggests a need for consistency across patient and healthcare professional documents to improve clarity. Plain Language Summary OTC Alkalising agents need additional warning information

Abstract
TreatingHelicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infections has been a never-ending challenge, which has contributed to the high incidence of gastric cancer. The antibiotics commonly used are not reaching the infection site in its active state and in a concentration high enough to effectively kill the bacteria. In this context, amoxicillin-loaded lipid nanoparticles with carefully chosen materials were developed, namely dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) as a targeting agent and Tween®80 and linolenic acid as antimicrobial agents. This work shows the ability of these nanoparticles in (i) targeting the bacteria (imaging flow cytometry) and inhibiting their adhesion to MKN-74 cells (bacteria-gastric cells adhesion model); (ii) killing the bacteria even as an antibiotic-free strategy (time-kill kineticstudies, scanning electron microscopy, and bacterial membrane permeability studies); (iii)overcoming gastrointestinal features using a newly developedin vitroinfection model that includes both physical (epithelial cells and mucus) and the chemical (acid medium) barriers; and in (iv) being incorporated in a floating system that can increase the retention time at the stomach. Overall, this work presents an effective nanosystem to deal with the ulcer-bug. Besides, it also provides two innovative tools transferable to other fields-anin vitroinfection model and a floating system to incorporate nanoparticles.

Abstract
Two poly(δ-valerolactone)/poly(ethylene-co-vinylalcohol)/beta-tricalcium phosphate (PEVAL/PDVAL/β-TCP) composites containing an equal ratio of polymer and filled with 50 and 70 wt% of β-TCP microparticles were prepared by the solvent casting method. Interconnected pores were realized using the salt leached technique, and the porosity of the resulted composites was evaluated by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) method. The homogeneity of the hybrid materials was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The prepared materials' SEM images showed interconnected micropores that respond to the conditions required to allow their uses as scaffolds. The porosity of each scaffold was determined from micro computed tomography (micro-CT) data, and the analysis of the mechanical properties of the prepared materials was studied through the stress-strain compressive test. The proliferation test results used human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to grow and proliferate on the different types of prepared materials, reflecting that the hybrid materials were non-toxic and could be biologically acceptable scaffolds. The antibacterial activity test revealed that incorporation of amoxicillin in the specimens could inhibit the bacterial growth of S. aureus. The in vitro study of the release of amoxicillin from the PEVAL/PDVAL/amoxicillin and PEVAL/PDVAL/β-TCP/amoxicillin drug carrier systems in pH media 7.4, during eight days, gave promising results, and the antibiotic diffusion in these scaffolds obeys the Fickian model.

Abstract
Antibiotics can be detected in manure and digestate samples worldwide. As manure is a frequently used fertilizer, antibiotics are found in soil and leachate samples. Only little is known about the long-term fate of antibiotics in the soil environment. One shortcut is the lack of appropriate monitoring studies. Here we present the results of an unequalled soil monitoring study over 18 years from an agricultural field site in Lower Saxony (Germany). Sulfonamides and tetracycline are mainly fixed in the upper soil layer. Contents showed a sharp decrease below sampling depth of 30 cm (plough depth). Sulfaguanidine and sulfamethazine (SMZ) were detected down to 90 cm. Water samples taken below the field site revealed the transfer of sulfonamides into leachate. High variances were observed between sampling points emphasizing the need for sampling strategies for environmental studies. In addition, field lysimeters with defined input of sulfonamides enabled a long-term monitoring and mass balance of antibiotic transfer into leachate over 10 years. SMZ showed the highest mobility with concentrations up to 65 ng L−1. Less than 0.5% of the applied SMZ was transferred into the leachate. Data of lysimeter and field water samples support the theory of a steady state process with a continuous input of sulfonamides such as SMZ into leachate. Soils contaminated with antibiotics can be a long-term source for the input of antibiotic active compounds into deeper soil layers and groundwater.

Abstract
This study presents the development of an efficient extraction protocol for amoxicillin from plasma with improved solubility and stability using pH control. Solubility and stability of amoxicillin in commonly used extraction solvents were determined using a newly developed stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Following this, protein precipitation (PP) mediated sample purification protocol was developed and validated along with the HPLC method for the extracted amoxicillin from rabbit plasma. The protocol was applied in a pharmacokinetic study in rabbits. A five-fold increase in solubility and two-fold increase in stability of amoxicillin was found by addition of acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH 5.0) in acetonitrile. PP mediated extraction protocol containing acetate buffer-acetonitrile (1:18 v/v) resulted in an extraction recovery of >80% for all the samples. The HPLC assay following extraction was found linear (R2 >0.9999) over the range of 0.2-20 µg/mL with a lower limit of quantification of 0.2 µg/mL. The accuracy of the quality control samples was found between 97-115% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was found to be below 6% for all samples. The samples were stable in the mobile phase (pH 5.0) for 72 h post-extraction. Amoxicillin-spiked plasma samples were found stable for up to three freeze-and-thaw cycles but, nearly 50% samples had degraded following storage for two months at -20 °C. Pharmacokinetic analysis indicated a half-life of amoxicillin of nearly 1 h following intravenous injection in rabbits, which is similar to that in humans. Thus, a simple and repeatable, extraction protocol was developed using pH control for quantification of amoxicillin from plasma based on its physicochemical properties.

Reduced bioavailability of oral amoxicillin tablets compared to suspensions in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric subjects. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2019; 85:2118-2125. [PMID: 31215676 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.14023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2019] [Revised: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 06/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the relative bioavailability of oral amoxicillin (AMX) tablets in comparison to AMX suspension in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric subjects. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, cross-over study was performed on the bioavailability of oral AMX tablets and suspension in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass subjects operated at least 3 months previously . Doses of 875 mg of the AMX tablet or 800 mg of the AMX suspension were given to all the subjects, allowing a washout of 7 days between the periods. Blood samples were collected at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after drug administration and the AMX levels were quantified by liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by noncompartmental analysis, normalized to an 875 mg dose and the bioavailability of the AMX from the tablets was compared to that from the suspension formulation. RESULTS Twenty subjects aged 42.65 ± 7.21 years and with a body mass index of 29.88 ± 4.36 kg/m2 were enrolled in the study. The maximum AMX plasma concentration of the tablets and the suspension (normalized to 875 mg) were 7.42 ± 2.99 mg/L and 8.73 ± 3.26 mg/L (90% confidence interval of 70.71-99.11), and the total area under the curve from time zero to infinity were 23.10 ± 7.41 mg.h/L and 27.59 ± 8.32 mg.h/L (90% confidence interval of 71.25-97.32), respectively. CONCLUSION The tablets presented a lower bioavailability than the suspension formulation and the total absorbed amount of AMX in these subjects was lower in comparison to the standard AMX absorption rates in nonbariatric subjects, regardless of the formulation.

Abstract
Purpose Amoxicillin is a commonly used antibiotic, although degraded by the acidic pH of the stomach. This is an important limitation for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections. The purpose of this work was to encapsulate amoxicillin in lipid nanoparticles, increasing the retention time at the site of infection (gastric mucosa), while protecting the drug from the harsh conditions of the stomach lumen. Materials and methods The nanoparticles were produced by the double emulsion technique and optimized by a three-level Box-Behnken design. Tween 80 and linolenic acid were used as potential therapeutic adjuvants and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine as a targeting agent to Helicobacter pylori. Nanoparticles were characterized regarding their physico-chemical features, their storage stability, and their usability for oral administration (assessment of in vitro release, in vitro cell viability, permeability, and interaction with mucins). Results The nanoparticles were stable for at least 6 months at 4°C. In vitro release studies revealed a high resistance to harsh conditions, including acidic pH and physiologic temperature. The nanoparticles have a low cytotoxicity effect in both fibroblasts and gastric cell lines, and they have the potential to be retained at the gastric mucosa. Conclusion Overall, the designed formulations present suitable physico-chemical features for being henceforward used by oral administration to treat Helicobacter pylori infections.

Abstract
Fatty acid calcium salt is a high melting point powder excellent in lubricity and water repellency and is often used as a cosmetic raw material. We have shown that several calcium salts of fatty acids have high selective bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes and low bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis. In this study, we evaluated the influence of pH on the bactericidal behavior of calcium laurate, and showed that under acidic conditions it shows higher bactericidal activity against both bacteria but selectivity becomes lower. This finding is useful for designing skin cleansers and makeup cosmetics containing lauric acid.

Abstract
There are growing concerns that antibiotic pollution impacts environmental microbiota and facilitates the propagation of antibiotic resistance. However, the prediction or analytical determination of bioavailable concentrations of antibiotics in soil is still subject to great uncertainty. Biological assays are increasingly recognized as valuable complementary tools that allow a more direct determination of the residual antibiotic activity. This study assessed the bioavailability of structurally diverse antibiotics at a soil-water interface applying activity-based analyses in conjunction with equilibrium partitioning (EqP) modeling. The activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria of nine antibiotics from different classes was determined in the presence and absence of standard soil (LUFA St. 2.2). The addition of soil affected the activity of different antibiotics to highly varying degrees. Moreover, a highly significant correlation ( p < 0.0001) between the experimentally observed and the EqP-derived log EC50 (half-maximal effective concentration) values was observed. The innovative experimental design of this study provided new insights on the bioavailability of antibiotics at soil-water interfaces. EqP appears to be applicable to a broad range of antibiotics for the purpose of screening-level risk assessment. However, EqP estimates cannot replace soil-specific ecotoxicity testing in higher-tier assessments, since their accuracy is still compromised by a number of factors.

Abstract
Literature and experimental data relevant to waiver of in vivo bioequivalence (BE) testing for the approval of immediate-release solid oral dosage forms containing amoxicillin trihydrate are reviewed. Solubility and permeability characteristics according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS), therapeutic uses, therapeutic index, excipient interactions, as well as dissolution and BE and bioavailability studies were taken into consideration. Solubility and permeability studies indicate that amoxicillin doses up to 875 mg belong to BCS class I, whereas 1000 mg belongs to BCS class II and doses of more than 1000 mg belong to BCS class IV. Considering all aspects, the biowaiver procedure can be recommended for solid oral products of amoxicillin trihydrate immediate-release preparations containing amoxicillin as the single active pharmaceutical ingredient at dose strengths of 875 mg or less, provided (a) only the excipients listed in this monograph are used, and only in their usual amounts, (b) the biowaiver study is performed according to the World Health Organization-, U.S. Food and Drug Administration-, or European Medicines Agency-recommended method using the innovator as the comparator, and (c) results comply with criteria for "very rapidly dissolving" or "similarly rapidly dissolving." Products containing other excipients and those containing more than 875 mg amoxicillin per unit should be subjected to an in vivo BE study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the population pharmacokinetics of oral amoxicillin and to compare the PTA of current dosing regimens. METHODS Two groups, each with 14 healthy male volunteers, received oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid tablets on two separate days 1 week apart. One group received 875/125 mg twice daily and 500/125 mg three times daily and the other group 500/125 mg twice daily and 250/125 mg three times daily. A total of 1428 amoxicillin blood samples were collected before and after administration. We analysed the concentration-time profiles using a non-compartmental pharmacokinetic method (PKSolver) and a population pharmacokinetic method (NONMEM). The PTA was computed using Monte Carlo simulations for several dosing regimens. RESULTS AUC0-24 and Cmax increased non-linearly with dose. The final model included the following components: Savic's transit compartment model, Michaelis-Menten absorption, two distribution compartments and first-order elimination. The mean central volume of distribution was 27.7 L and mean clearance was 21.3 L/h. We included variability for the central volume of distribution (34.4%), clearance (25.8%), transit compartment model parameters and Michaelis-Menten absorption parameters. For 40% fT>MIC and >97.5% PTA, the breakpoints were 0.125 mg/L (500 mg twice daily), 0.25 mg/L (250 mg three times daily and 875 mg twice daily), 0.5 mg/L (500 mg three times daily) and 1 mg/L (750, 875 or 1000 mg three times daily and 500 mg four times daily). CONCLUSIONS The amoxicillin absorption rate appears to be saturable. The PTAs of high-dose as well as twice-daily regimens are less favourable than regimens with lower doses and higher frequency.

Abstract
Intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) has traditionally been determined from a constant surface area of a substance. Here we present an optofluidic single-particle intrinsic dissolution rate (SIDR) method, by means of which real-time determination of IDR from continuously changing effective surface areas of dissolving individual microparticles, is possible. The changing surface area of the individual microparticles is characterized through continuous random orientation 3D particle morphology characterization during the dissolution process. Using noninvasive optical monitoring and nonspecific image analysis, we determined IDRs of a diverse set of substances from individual pure-substance microparticles (14-747 μg) with an average relative standard deviation of 9.4%. A linear fit between SIDR and literature equilibrium solubility values (R(2) = 0.999) was achieved and kinetic solubility equivalent SIDRs were obtained, for all substances, in as little as 1 min. Such miniaturized methods could become valuable tools in drug discovery, by providing resource sparing higher quality data acquisition means to replace current high-throughput solubility methods.

Abstract
The objective of this work was first to investigate the chemical degradation of the sesquiterpene lactone nobilin and determine its solubility under conditions of concurrent degradation for partially amorphous starting material; second, to determine the effect of biorelevant media used in the in vitro measurement of intestinal absorption on degradation and solubility of nobilin. Purely aqueous medium (aq-TMCaco ), fasted and fed state simulated intestinal fluid (FaSSIF-TMCaco and FeSSIF-TMCaco ), and two liposomal formulations (LiposomesFaSSIF and LiposomesFeSSIF ) with the same lipid concentration as FaSSIF-TMCaco and FeSSIF-TMCaco were used. Degradation products were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray crystallography and the order of reaction kinetics was determined. Solubility was deduced with a mathematical model encompassing dissolution, degradation, and reprecipitation kinetics that took into account particle size distribution of the solid material. Degradation mechanism of nobilin involved water-catalyzed opening of the lactone ring and transannular cyclization resulting in five degradation products. Degradation followed first-order kinetics in aq-TMCaco and FaSSIF-TMCaco , and higher-order kinetics in FeSSIF-TMCaco and the two liposomal formulations, whereas degradation in the latter media was diminished. Solubility of nobilin increased in the order: aq-TMCaco < FaSSIF-TMCaco , < LiposomesFaSSIF < FeSSIF-TMCaco < LiposomesFeSSIF . Improvement of stability and solubility was consistent with the incorporation of the nobilin molecule into colloidal lipid particles. The developed kinetic model is proposed to be a useful tool for deducing solubility under dynamic conditions.

Abstract
In this study, high permeability flat sheet polysulfone nanofiltration membranes were prepared for amoxicillin (AMX) recovery from pharmaceutical wastewater. Membrane fabrication includes two steps: raw ultrafiltration membrane synthesis by phase inversion method and nanaofiltration membrane synthesis by surface photopolymerization. Raw ultrafiltration membranes were synthesized using different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as pore former and different coagulation bath temperatures (CBTs). The synthesized ultrafiltration membranes were modified using UV-assisted polymerization technique and their performance in the separation of AMX at different pHs, were studied. The results showed that the more irradiation time, the smaller surface pore size. Moreover, the membranes made with higher molecular weight of PEG and coagulation bath temperatures were more susceptible for UV-modification at these conditions; fabricated membranes had higher flux as well as relatively high AMX separation. Moreover, pH enhancement increased AMX rejection by 85%. The effect of irradiation on membrane surface morphology was studied by SEM surface images and the morphological effects of pore former and coagulation bath temperatures on membrane structure were confirmed by SEM cross section images. A fairly comprehensive discussion about the effects of PEG, coagulation bath temperature and irradiation time on membrane structure and AMX recovery performance was represented in this study.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria may interact with antibiotic contaminants in aquatic environments, but the interaction effects and mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, aqueous culture of Microcystis aeruginosa was exposed to 50ng/l-1μg/l of spiramycin and amoxicillin for seven days. The influences of antibiotics on the antioxidant system of M. aeruginosa and the degradation of antibiotics by M. aeruginosa were investigated. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in spiramycin-treated M. aeruginosa were stimulated by up to 2.2 folds, while the activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) were inhibited by spiramycin at test concentrations of 500ng/l-1μg/l, with a decrease of up to 71% and 76% compared to the control, respectively. The activities of SOD, POD and CAT in M. aeruginosa were stimulated by amoxicillin during the whole exposure period, with respective increases of up to 60%, 30% and 120% relative to the control. At test concentrations of 500ng/l-1μg/l, the higher MDA contents in spiramycin-treated M. aeruginosa indicated a higher toxicity of spiramycin than amoxicillin, possibly due to the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide caused by the inhibited activities of POD and CAT under exposure to spiramycin. The increase of glutathione content, the stimulation of glutathione S-transferase activity and the degradation of each antibiotic were observed in M. aeruginosa during the 7-day exposure. At the end of exposure, 12.5%-32.9% of spiramycin and 30.5%-33.6% of amoxicillin could be degraded by M. aeruginosa from the culture medium, indicating the ability of M. aeruginosa to eliminate coexisting contaminants via detoxification.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2012; 47:661-77. [PMID: 22903046 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2012.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2012] [Revised: 07/31/2012] [Accepted: 08/04/2012] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The total solubility of three penicillin derivatives was determined, in pure water and NaCl aqueous solutions at different salt concentrations (from ∼0.15 to 1.0 mol L(-1) for ampicillin and amoxicillin, and from ∼0.05 to 2.0 mol L(-1) for (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid), using the shake-flask method for generating the saturated solutions, followed by potentiometric analysis. The knowledge of the pH of solubilization and of the protonation constants determined in the same experimental conditions, allowed us to calculate, by means of the mass balance equations, the solubility of the neutral species at different ionic strength values, to model its dependence on the salt concentration and to determine the corresponding values at infinite dilution. The salting parameter and the activity coefficients of the neutral species were calculated by the Setschenow equation. The protonation constants of ampicillin and amoxicillin, determined at different temperatures (from T=288.15 to 318.15K), from potentiometric and spectrophotometric measurements, were used to calculate, by means of the Van't Hoff equation, the temperature coefficients at different ionic strength values and the corresponding protonation entropies. The protonation enthalpies of the (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid were determined by isoperibol calorimetric titrations at T=298.15K and up to I=2.0 mol L(-1). The dependence of the protonation constants on ionic strength was modeled by means of the Debye-Hückel and SIT (Specific ion Interaction Theory) approaches, and the specific interaction parameters of the ionic species were determined. The hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring was studied by spectrophotometric and H NMR investigations as a function of pH, ionic strength and time. Potentiometric measurements carried out on the hydrolyzed (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid allowed us to highlight that the opened and the closed β-lactam forms of the (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid have quite different acid-base properties. An analysis of literature solubility, protonation constants, enthalpies and activity coefficients is reported too.

Abstract
Recent developments in isothermal microcalorimetry allow the direct determination of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for slow reactions from studies conducted at appropriate temperatures and under designated environmental control. The degradation kinetics of amoxicillin trihydrate has been investigated as a function of pH (1–10) and temperature (303.15–318.15 K) at 0.5 M ionic strength using heat conduction microcalorimetry. Equations were developed incorporating calorimetric accessible data, rate constants and change in enthalpy, which showed that the degradation of amoxicillin trihydrate in aqueous solution followed pseudo-first-order kinetics under our experimental conditions. The enthalpy of degradation reaction was found to be exothermic in nature. The values of the rate constant k for individual steps were determined from the values of the overall rate constants at different pH. Energy of activation of overall reaction as a function of pH and for individual rate constants was determined. The log k-pH profiles indicated specific-acid and specific-base catalysis and there were inflection points near pH 3 and pH 7 corresponding to the pKa1 and pKa2 values. Quantitatively, there was good correlation between calorimetric determined half-life (t1/2) and the literature value in the acidic region determined by other methods at 310.15 K. The presence of a β-lactam ring and of an α-amino group in the C-6 side chain played a critical role in the degradation of amoxicillin trihydrate and the zwitterionic form of the drug was found to be more stable.

Abstract
The stability of aqueous admixtures of amoxicillin sodium and potassium clavulanate was studied in the liquid state at selected pH values. Potassium clavulanate was found to catalyze the rate of degradation of amoxicillin sodium under the conditions of this study. In phosphate buffer (at pH 7.0) both amoxicillin sodium and potassium clavulanate showed first-order degradation when stored separately. However, when combined the rate of amoxicillin degradation increased and t(90) values for amoxicillin decreased from 69.6 min for amoxicillin alone to 10.8 min for amoxicillin in the combination at 55 degrees C. A kinetic model was developed that explained the catalytic behavior of potassium clavulanate and phosphate buffer. In acetate buffer the rate of degradation of amoxicillin sodium followed first-order kinetics, but the catalytic effect of clavulanate caused curvature in the rate plots at higher temperatures and clavulanate concentrations. This catalytic effect was less than that occurred in phosphate buffer (where the t(90) value of amoxicillin decreased from 137.3 min for amoxicillin alone to 52.5 min for amoxicillin in combination at 55 degrees C). First-order bi-exponential decay occurred with amoxicillin degradation, which explained this change in rate.

Abstract
A fast method for the quantitative determination of amoxicillin (AMO), amoxicilloic acid (AMA) and amoxicillin diketopiperazine-2',5'-dione (DIKETO) in pig edible tissues (kidney, liver, fat and muscle) with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) is presented. The method uses a simple liquid-liquid extraction of the tissue matrix with a 10 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.5) as extraction solvent. After deproteinisation by ultrafiltration, the tissue extract was directly injected onto the LC column. Chromatographic separation of the components was performed on a PLRP-S polymeric column using 0.1% of formic acid in water and acetonitrile. The mass spectrometer was operated in the positive electrospray MS/MS mode. The method was fully validated according to EU requirements (linearity, precision, trueness, quantification limit, detection limit and specificity). The stability of the components was evaluated over the pH range from 1.2 to 8.0. Biological samples of pigs medicated with AMO and AMO/clavulanic acid were analyzed using the developed method.

Abstract
A methodology (by VICH guidelines) for the stability evaluation of amoxicillin in granular premixes is described. This method is based on the monitoring of the degradation products formed during the stability study by a new HPLC-RP method, which has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of amoxicillin and its degradation products. The method uses a Nucleosil 120 C18 column and gradient elution. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of methanol and buffer solution pH 3+/-0.05 at different proportion according to a time-schedule programme, pumped at a flow rate of 1.750 ml min(-1). The DAD detector was set at 230 nm. The validation study was carried out fulfilling the VICH guidelines in order to prove that the new analytical method, meets the reliability characteristics, and these characteristics showed the capacity of analytical method to keep, throughout the time, the fundamental criteria for validation: selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, sensitivity (LOD, LOQ) and robustness. The method was applied during the stability study of an amoxicillin premix in order to quantify the drug (amoxicillin) and all its degradation products to evaluate the shelf life of the new veterinary dosage form. The method also proved to be suitable as a rapid and reliable quality control method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure effects of Escherichia coli O149:F4-induced diarrhea on water consumption and pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin after administration in drinking water. ANIMALS 24 recently weaned 24- to 28-day-old crossbred pigs. PROCEDURE 10 pigs were inoculated with E. coli O149:F4; all 10 pigs subsequently developed diarrhea. Pigs were medicated by administration of amoxicillin in the drinking water (0.75 mg/mL) for a 4-hour period on 2 consecutive days. Fourteen age-matched noninfected healthy pigs (control group) were medicated in a similar manner. Blood samples were obtained from both groups daily, and plasma concentrations of amoxicillin were analyzed by use of high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Diarrhea reduced the area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) of amoxicillin on the first day of medication by 56% and 63%, respectively. The AUC of amoxicillin on the second day of medication for diarrheic pigs did not differ significantly from that of control pigs on the first day of medication. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE E. coli-induced diarrhea reduced the AUC of amoxicillin and time that plasma concentration of amoxicillin was > 0.025 microg/mL and, hence, less likely to have a therapeutic effect on the first day of administration in drinking water. On the assumption that plasma concentrations may indirectly reflect concentrations at the site of infection, analysis of our results suggests that higher doses of amoxicillin may be appropriate for administration in drinking water during a 4-hour period on the first day that pigs have diarrhea attributable to E. coli O149:F4.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of polyoxometalates (PMs) against Helicobacter pylori was investigated based on determinations of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC), time-killing of the bacteria, bacterial morphology and PM-uptake into the bacteria cell. The result of MIC values revealed that, of 13 PMs used in this study, highly negative-charged polyoxotungstates, such as K27[KAs4W40O140] and K18[KSb9W21O86], and Keggin-structural polyoxotungstates exhibited a potent antibacterial activity with the MIC values of less than 256 microg/ml. The former was the most active, and superior to metronidazole (MTZ) against MTZ-susceptible and resistant strains and also to clarithromycin (CLR) against CLR-resistant strains. In contrast, most of polyoxomolybdates showed little antibacterial activity with the MIC values of more than 256 microg/ml. The result of FIC index values indicated that the antibacterial polyoxotungstates had partially synergistic effect in combination with MTZ and CLR but indifferent effect in combination with amoxicillin (AMX). From the results of the time-killing and scanning electron microscope images, K27[KAs4W40O140] and K18[KSb9W21O86] proved the concentration-dependent bactericidal activity with the morphological change from bacillary form to coccoid form, while Keggin-structural K5[SiV(V)W11O40] showed the bacteriostatic activity with small change of morphology to coccoid form. The fluorescent X-ray analysis demonstrated that these polyoxotungstates were taken into the bacteria cell. It is pointed out that the Keggin-structure and/or high negativity polyoxotungstates are an important factor for the antibacterial activity against H. pylori.

Abstract
A method for determination of antibiotics in hospital sewage water has been developed and validated. Analogue internal standards for fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, beta-lactams (penicillins and cephalosporins), nitroimidazoles and tetracyclines were successfully used for calibration and shown to generally improve precision compared to external calibration. Matrix components caused ion suppression/enhancement effects during the MS detection for all analytes studied. Two effects were observed: general suppression and short-term variations in the MS response. In the hospital sewage water large temporal variations in the analyte concentration were observed during the course of the sampling period (seven grab samples in 13 h). Analyte concentrations varied within the following ranges (in microg l(-1)): ciprofloxacin, 3.6-101.0; metronidazole, 0.1-90.2; sulfamethoxazole, 0.4-12.8; ofloxacin, 0.2-7.6; trimethoprim, 0.6-7.6; and doxycycline, 0.6-6.7.

Abstract
Solution calorimetric technique has been used to determine the compatibility of binary and ternary systems of ampicillin trihydrate (AMP), sulbactam sodium (SS), amoxicillin trihydrate (AM), potassium clavulanate (PC) and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CP). The enthalpy of solution (DeltasolH) were obtained over a wide range of composition in the pH range 2-9. For all the pure drugs the DeltasolH is endothermic in nature. The molar enthalpies of interaction of binary (DeltaHbi.E) and ternary (DeltaHter.E) mixtures of the drugs in aqueous buffers have been determined. The DeltaHbi.E for all binary systems is negative and pH dependent (maximum pH 6-8) indicating the interaction among charged species of the drugs. In case of binary systems with CP the magnitude of DeltaHbi.E indicate strong interactions. The variation and magnitude of DeltaHbi.E for the systems is discussed in terms of hydrogen bonding and van der Waal's interaction in the solution. The interaction parameter for ternary systems (A) is positive indicating repulsive interaction among the drugs. The coefficients hi's calculated from Redlich-Kister equation for binary systems (DeltaHbi.E) and ternary interaction parameter (A) were used to predict the compatibility of the marketed formulations in pH range studied.

The sustained release of amoxicillin is desired because of its short biological half-life. Particularly to treat Helicobacter pylori infections, the sustained release is desired to be confined to the upper gastrointestinal tract. In vitro dissolution of amoxicillin has been evaluated utilizing a direct UV-absorption method. However, UV-absorption has been reported as not useful to determine amoxicillin in acidic dissolution test medium. To clarify the suitability of the assay method, the stability and dissolution behavior of amoxicillin sustained release tablets was determined by HPLC, iodometric titration and UV-absorption. Stability of amoxicillin studied under dissolution test conditions of pH 1.2, 37 degrees C and 50 rpm and determined by HPLC and titration showed considerable degradation of amoxicillin. On the other hand, the UV-absorption increased progressively as amoxicillin degradation proceeded. Amoxicillin release curves determined by different analytical methods show different release profiles, which can be corrected for amoxicillin degradation and change in the UV-absorption to produce similar dissolution results. Release curves determined by UV-absorption and obtained from tablets containing 1017 mg amoxicillin trihydrate and Carbopol 971P NF in a range from 180 to 680 mg showed increasing values of the exponent indicative of the release mechanism (n) and decreasing release constant values (k) as the matrix polymer content increased. The release constant (k) and the exponent (n) were found to be logarithmically related.

Abstract
Amoxycillin-poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) compacts were prepared by direct compression of both powder mixtures or films in a pre-heated press. Release profiles generally showed two phases separated by an induction period. Thus, both diffusion and polymer degradation mechanisms were involved in drug release, the relative importance of each depending on processing type and drug loading. Drug release parameters for each phase were determined. The fraction of total drug released, in the initial release phase, increased with drug loading and was much larger for compressed physical mixtures than for compressed composites prepared from co-evaporate films. Comparison of the polymer mass loss profiles of drug-loaded and drug-free discs indicated that the presence of the amphoteric drug amoxycillin had little impact on the polymer degradation rate, in contrast to the marked acceleration previously reported for basic drugs. Significant drug degradation occurred and was associated with release at later times. Release data was fitted to an equation accounting for degradation of the drug on release and suggested accelerated amoxycillin degradation during the polymer degradation controlled release phase, consistent with changes in pH in the microenvironment of the eroding compact.

Abstract
A rapid, selective and sensitive HPLC assay has been developed for the routine analysis of amoxicillin in rat plasma, gastric juice aspirate and gastric tissue which is applicable to low concentrations of amoxicillin (<1 microg mL(-1)) or small sample volumes. Amoxicillin was converted, via an internal rearrangement, to form a fluorescent product which was subsequently recovered using liquid-liquid extraction. A Kromasil ODS 3 microm (150 x 3.2 mm I.D.) column was maintained at 40 degrees C and used with a mobile phase consisting of methanol-water (55:45, v/v). Fluorimetric detection was at an lambda(ex) of 365 nm and an lambda(em) of 445 nm. The limits of quantitation for amoxicillin were 0.1 microg mL(-1) for gastric juice aspirate (500 microL), 0.5 microg mL(-1) for plasma (50 microL) and 0.075 microg g(-1) for gastric tissue (250 mg). The method was linear up to at least 15 microg mL(-1) in gastric juice aspirate, up to 200 microg mL(-1) in plasma and up to 100 microg g(-1) in gastric tissue, with inter- and intra-day RSDs being less than 19%. The assay has been applied to the measurement of amoxicillin in rat plasma, gastric juice aspirate and gastric tissue for pharmacokinetic studies in individual rats.
