AB  - Patients treated with ECMO are at great risk of nosocomial infections, and around 10% of isolates are gram-positive pathogens. Linezolid (LZD) is effective in the treatment of these infections but appropriate dosing is challenging. The aim was to evaluate the occurrence of thrombocytopenia during ECMO when treated with LZD. An LZD trough concentration of 8 mg/L was set as the cutoff value for thrombocytopenia occurrence among critically ill patients who received parenteral LZD therapy at a dose of 600 mg every 8 h during ECMO. Eleven patients were included in this prospective observational study. Median LZD trough concentrations were 7.85 (interquartile range (IQR), 1.95-11) mg/L. Thrombocytopenia was found in 81.8% of patients. Based on the median LZD trough concentrations cutoff value, patients were divided into two groups, 1.95 (IQR, 0.91–3.6) and 10.3 (IQR, 9.7–11.7) mg/L, respectively. Median platelet values differed significantly between groups on admission, ECMO day 0, ECMO day 1, and LZD sampling day [194 and 152.5, (p < 0.05)], [113 and 214, (p < 0.05)], [76 and 147.5, (p < 0.01)], and [26 and 96.5, (p < 0.01)], respectively. Duration of LZD therapy was similar between the groups. Significant platelet reduction was observed in both groups, emphasizing the need for closer monitoring to prevent LZD-associated thrombocytopenia.

AB  - Fatty acids play a crucial role in obesity development and in the comorbidities of obesity in both adults and children. This study aimed to assess the impact of circulating fatty acids on biomarkers of metabolic health of adolescents living with obesity. Parameters such as blood lipids, redox status, and leukocyte telomere length (rLTL) were measured alongside the proportions of individual fatty acids. The Mann–Whitney U test revealed that individuals with obesity exhibited an unfavorable lipid and redox status compared to the control normal weight group. The group with obesity also had lower plasma n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and a higher ratio of n-6 to n-3 PUFAs than the control group. They also had a shorter rLTL, indicating accelerated biological aging. There was an inverse association of rLTL and plasma n-6-to-n-3 PUFA ratio. Future studies should explore the impact of recommended nutrition plans and increased physical activity on these parameters to determine if these interventions can enhance the health and well-being of adolescents with obesity, knowing that early obesity can track into adulthood.

AB  - In recent years, Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) have attracted increasing attention in
various scientific disciplines. Their unique properties, such as low toxicity, biodegradability, low
cost and versatility, have made them an attractive alternative to conventional organic solvents. In
pharmaceutical analysis, where the demand for environmentally friendly methods is growing,
questions regarding whether DESs can replace organic solvents as "green solvents" have arisen.
This paper explores the potential applications of DESs in drug analysis, and highlights the benefits
and challenges they bring. Examples of the use of DESs in chromatographic techniques and in
the extraction of drugs from various samples are presented. Additionally, research on the stability
and toxicity of DESs in analytical applications is discussed. Based on the available data, it could
be concluded that DESs have the potential to become an important component of analytical
methods in pharmaceutical analysis and provide environmentally sustainable and efficient
alternatives to conventional organic solvents. However, further research is needed to better
understand their properties and optimize their application in drug analysis.

ekološki prihvatljivim metodama, postavlja se pitanje da li eutektički rastvarači, kao „zeleni
rastvarači“, mogu da zamene organske rastvarače. Ovaj rad istražuje potencijalnu primenu
eutektičkih rastvarača u analizi lekova i ističe prednosti i izazove koje oni donose. Prikazani su
primeri upotrebe eutektičkih rastvarača u hromatografiji i u ekstrakciji lekova iz različitih
uzoraka. Pored toga, razmatrana je stabilnost i toksičnost eutektičkih rastvarača koji se koriste u

imaju značajan potencijal u pogledu upotrebe u analitičkim metodama u farmaceutskoj analizi i

AB  - The healthcare structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina is decentralized, thus facing patients with unequal access to healthcare services especially for medicines. We attempted to develop a tool for assessment of the stakeholders’ opinion, and with the further research we will propose the model that can bring equality in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The developed tool will examine the attitudes and opinions for introducing new methods in the decision-making process during the listing of medicines for the reimbursement list in Bosnia and Herzegovina. An update of the country’s legislation can be presented based on the research results. The tool was developed using the Delphi method. The experts who were included in the Delphi panel are qualified for rating and discussing questions. The questionnaire was validated on a 5-point Likert scale, and additional comments or clarification are optional. Introductory interviews were held face to face with each expert individually; after that the panel was anonymous. After 3 rounds of Delphi, the created tool was checked through a pilot study. The developed tool was categorized into three groups based on the KAP survey (Knowledge, Attitudes, Perceptions). All questions were verified in pilot and with the results for Cronbach’s alpha 0.96. This shows sufficient reliability of the created questionnaire, and it can be administered to a larger group of respondents, which has been planned for further research. The findings provide reliable information useful for planning the country’s legislation updates and planning for the introduction of a new approach in the decision-making process.

AB  - Laser sintering, known as powder bed fusion–laser beam (PBF-LB), offers promising potential for the fabrication of patient-specific drugs. The aim of this study was to provide an insight into the PBF-LB process with regard to the process parameters, in particular the laser hatching distance, and its influence on the properties of zolpidem tartrate (ZT) tablets. PHARMACOAT® 603 was used as the polymer, while Candurin® Gold Sheen and AEROSIL® 200 were added to facilitate 3D printing. The particle size distribution of the powder blend showed that the layer height should be set to 100 µm, while the laser hatching distance was varied in five different steps (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 µm), keeping the temperature and laser scanning speed constant. Increasing the laser hatching distance and decreasing the laser energy input led to a decrease in the colour intensity, mass, density and hardness of the ZT tablets, while the disintegration and dissolution rate were faster due to the more fragile bonds between the particles. The laser hatching distance also influenced the ZT dosage, indicating the importance of this process parameter in the production of presonalized drugs. The absence of drug-polymer interactions and the amorphization of the ZT were confirmed.

AB  - With the progress in medicine during the last several decades, it became clear
that the course of the disease and response to applied therapy differ to a great
extent between patients due to differences in genetic, anatomical, and physiological
characteristics of the patients. This brought into question the current
concept of therapy, so-called one size fits all, where similar drug doses have
been prescribed to a huge number of patients, with neglect of interindividual
differences between patients.

AB  - Hydantoin derivatives are versatile structural motifs found in natural products
and various compounds with different biological or other properties. Due to
their importance in both organic and medicinal chemistry, a number of synthetic procedures have been developed. In this article, a novel methodology
utilizing N-Boc protected amino acid amides for their preparation has been
described. The cyclisation process was accomplished using solid supported
PPh3 and CBr 4 as reagents affording substituted hydantoins in moderate to
good yields (40%–77%).

AB  - Background and Purpose: The ligands of the imidazoline and α-adrenergic receptors are mainly imidazoline and guanidine derivatives, known as centrally-acting antihypertensives and compounds with potential use in various neurological disorders. The extent of their ionisation has a major influence on their behaviour in the different analytical systems. The main objective of this work was to compare the mechanism of chromatographic retention and electrophoretic mobility under acidic, neutral and basic conditions. Experimental Approach: Multiple Linear Regression and Partial Least Squares Regression were applied for the QSRR (quantitative structure-retention relationship) and QSMR (quantitative structure-mobility relationship) modelling and to select the most important molecular parameters describing the chromatographic and electrophoretic behaviour of the investigated compounds. Key Results: The most important molecular descriptors, such as the chemical composition of the compounds, lipophilicity, polarizability and molecular branching, in the selected QSRR models showed that an important insight into the retention behaviour can be derived from the 0D-, 1D- and 2D-descriptors. The electrophoretic mobility could be explained by 2D- and 3D-descriptors, which provide information on the molecular mass, size and complexity, as well as on the influence of charge transfer and electronic properties on the migration behaviour. Conclusion: All created QSRR/QSMR models met the stringent validation criteria and showed high potential in describing the chromatographic and electrophoretic behaviour of investigated compounds.

AB  - The acid–base equilibria of raloxifene and the mutual influence of pH and solubility enhancers on the solubility of raloxifene
hydrochloride were studied. The apparent ionization constants (pKa*) of raloxifene were determined potentiometrically in
methanol–water mixtures (45%-55% w/w), and the pKa values (pKa1 = 7.21 ± 0.02, pKa2 = 7.86 ± 0.02, pKa3 = 9.97 ± 0.04)
defining ionization in aqueous media were obtained by extrapolating the pKa* values to 0% of methanol. The obtained pKa
values were assigned to the corresponding ionization centers. Based on the ionization constants obtained in this study, the
distribution of the equilibrium forms of raloxifene was calculated. The solubility of raloxifene hydrochloride in 0.01 M
HCl, acetate buffer pH 4.5 and phosphate buffer pH 6.8 was studied with and without the presence of β-CD, HP-β-CD and
polysorbate 80. The most effective solubility enhancer of raloxifene hydrochloride in 0.01 M HCl was polysorbate 80 at a
concentration of 0.5%, while the influence of this enhancer in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 was negligible. The highest solubility
of raloxifene hydrochloride in acetate and phosphate buffer was achieved in the presence of 10–
3 M HP–β-CD which
was 1.3-fold higher in both 0.01 M HCl and acetate buffer and 2.3-fold higher in phosphate buffer than in the presence of
10–
3 M β-CD.

AB  - Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat, leading to an alarming increase in the prevalence of bacterial infections that can no longer be treated with available antibiotics. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2050 up to 10 million deaths per year could be associated with antimicrobial resistance, which would equal the annual number of cancer deaths worldwide. To overcome this emerging crisis, novel anti-bacterial compounds are urgently needed. There are two possible approaches in the fight against bacterial infections: a) targeting structures within bacterial cells, similar to existing antibiotics; and/or b) targeting virulence factors rather than bacterial growth. Here, for the first time, we provide a comprehensive overview of the key steps in the evaluation of potential new anti-bacterial and/or anti-virulence compounds. The methods described in this review include: a) in silico methods for the evaluation of novel compounds; b) anti-bacterial assays (MIC, MBC, Time-kill); b) anti-virulence assays (anti-biofilm, anti-quorum sensing, anti-adhesion); and c) evaluation of safety aspects (cytotoxicity assay and Ames test). Overall, we provide a detailed description of the methods that are an essential tool for chemists, computational chemists, microbiologists, and toxicologists in the evaluation of potential novel antimicrobial compounds. These methods are cost-effective and have high predictive value. They are widely used in preclinical studies to identify new molecular candidates, for further investigation in animal and human trials.

AB  - The effect of the lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As) mixture (MIX) on hematotoxicity development was investigated trough combined approach. In vivo subacute study (28 days) was performed on rats (5 per group): a control group and five groups orally exposed to increasing metal(loid) mixture doses, MIX 1- MIX 5 (mg/kg bw./day) (Pb: 0.003, 0.01, 0.1, 0.3, 1; Cd: 0.01, 0.03, 0.3, 0.9, 3; Hg: 0.0002, 0.0006, 0.006, 0.018, 0.06; As: 0.002, 0.006, 0.06, 0.18, 0.6). Blood was taken for analysis of hematological parameters and serum iron (Fe) analysis. MIX treatment increased thrombocyte/platelet count and MCHC and decreased Hb, HCT, MCV and MCH values compared to control, indicating the development of anemia and thrombocytosis. BMDIs with the narrowest width were identified for MCH [pg] (6.030E-03 - 1.287E-01 mg Pb/kg bw./day; 2.010E-02 - 4.290E-01 mg Cd/kg bw./day; 4.020E-04 - 8.580E-03 mg Hg/kg bw./day; 4.020E-03 - 8.580E-02 mg As/kg bw./day). In silico analysis showed target genes connected with MIX and the development of: anemia - ACHE, GSR, PARP1, TNF; thrombocytosis – JAK2, CALR, MPL, THPO; hematological diseases - FAS and ALAD. The main extracted pathways for anemia were related to apoptosis and oxidative stress; for thrombocytosis were signaling pathways of Jak-STAT and TPO. Changes in miRNAs and transcription factors enabled the mode of action (MoA) development based on the obtained results, contributing to mechanistic understanding and hematological risk related to MIX exposure.

AB  - Digital transformation in education and relevant calls for action are recognised global priorities aimed to support education and training in the digital age. The experiences from the emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and recent research findings reveal relevant advantages, challenges, as well as different students and teaching staff perspectives which should be carefully considered and integrated into institutional strategies and policies to improve and enrich students’ learning experience. The present study aimed to explore health sciences students' perspectives on online teaching and learning (T&L) in four domains—Satisfaction, Motivation, Interaction and Challenges, and to identify the preferred T&L models or tools. A total of 1,041 responses were collected, including 476 dental medicine (45.7%), 399 pharmacy (38.3%), and 166 medical students (15.9%). Overall Satisfaction was quite high (4.0 ± 1.2; out of 5), followed by satisfactory Interaction (3.4 ± 1.4), whereas Motivation was quite low on average (3.0 ± 1.5). Challenges in online T&L were not markedly expressed (3.0 ± 1.6). The majority of students (46.6%) opted for the blended model as the preferred T&L model. Moodle lessons were perceived as the most useful online T&L tool (45.5% of students), followed by video materials (32.2%). Other T&L tools which require more active student's role, such as short test/quiz, and group or team assignment were declared as less favourable. The findings from the current study may contribute to raising the awareness of academic staff and higher institutions management about the student attitudes and needs related to online T&L and inform institutional planning, decision-making and policy development.

AB  - Aging is closely related to the main aspects of multiple sclerosis (MS). The average age of the MS population is increasing and the number of elderly MS patients is expected to increase. In addition to neurons, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are also expressed on non-neuronal cells, such as immune cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of NMDARs in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in young and aged rats. Memantine, a non-competitive NMDAR antagonist, was administered to young and aged Dark Agouti rats from day 7 after immunization. Antagonizing NMDARs had a more favourable effect on clinical disease, reactivation, and apoptosis of CD4+ T cells in the target organ of aged EAE rats. The expression of the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 was increased in memantine-treated rats, but to a greater extent in aged rats. Additionally, memantine increased Nrf2 and Nrf2-regulated enzymes’ mRNA expression in brain tissue. The concentrations of superoxide anion radicals, malondialdehyde, and advanced oxidation protein products in brain tissue were consistent with previous results. Overall, our results suggest that NMDARs play a more important role in the pathogenesis of EAE in aged than in young rats.

AB  - Metals exert detrimental effects on various systems within the body, including the nervous system. Nevertheless, the dose-response relationship concerning the administration of low doses of metal mixtures remains inadequately explored. The assessment of neurotoxic effects of lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic mixture (MIX) administered at low dose ranges, was conducted using an in vivo approach. A subacute study was conducted on a rat model consisting of a control and five treatment groups subjected to oral exposure with gradually increasing doses (from MIX 1 to MIX 5). The results indicated that behavioural patterns in an already developed nervous system displayed a reduced susceptibility to the metal mixture exposure with tendency of higher doses to alter short term memory. However, the vulnerability of the mature brain to even minimal amounts of the investigated metal mixture was evident, particularly in the context of oxidative stress. Moreover, the study highlights superoxide dismutase's sensitivity as an early-stage neurotoxicity marker, as indicated by dose-dependent induction of oxidative stress in the brain revealed through Benchmark analysis. The narrowest Benchmark Dose Interval (BMDI) for superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (1e-06 - 3.18e-05 mg As/kg b.w./day) indicates that arsenic may dictate the alterations in SOD activity when co-exposed with the other examined metals. The predicted Benchmark doses for oxidative stress parameters were very low, supporting “no-threshold” concept. Histopathological alterations were most severe in the groups treated with higher doses of metal mixture. Similarly, the brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease significant in higher doses, while BMDI suggested Cd as the main contributor in the examined metal mixture. These findings imply varying susceptibility of neurotoxic endpoints to different doses of environmentally relevant metal mixtures, advocating for risk assessment and regulatory measures to address metal pollution and enhance remediation strategies.

AB  - Serious hematological adverse drug reactions (HADRs) may lead to or prolong hospitalization
and even cause death. The aim of this study was to determine the regulatory factors associated
with HADRs caused by drugs that were authorized up to July 2023 by the European Medicines
Agency (EMA) and to evaluate the frequency of HADRs. Using a cross-sectional approach, the type
and frequency of HADRs were collected from the Summaries of Product Characteristics of Drugs
Authorized by the EMA and analyzed within proprietary, nonproprietary, and biosimilar/biological
frameworks. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to investigate the associations of generic
status, biosimilar status, conditional approval, exceptional circumstances, accelerated assessment,
orphan drug status, years on the market, administration route, and inclusion on the Essential
Medicines List (EML) with HADRs. In total, 54.78% of proprietary drugs were associated with HADRs
at any frequency, while anemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia were observed in approximately
36% of the patients. The predictors of any HADR, anemia, and thrombocytopenia of any frequency
are generic status, biosimilar status, and inclusion on the EML, while the only protective factor is the
administration route. Biosimilars and their originator biologicals have similar frequencies of HADRs;
the only exception is somatropin. Knowledge of the regulatory factors associated with HADRs could
help clinicians address monitoring issues when new drugs are introduced for the treatment of patients.

AB  - Drug-related hospitalizations pose a significant burden to the health-care system. The aim
was to investigate the prevalence of drug-related problems (DRPs) and their association with hospital
admissions in five internal medicine wards. The study included patients admitted to the nephrology,
cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and geriatric wards. The Pharmaceutical Care Network
Europe classification V9.1 was used for identifying DRPs. In total, 535 patients participated in the study.
We identified 954 DRPs (range 1-7) in 80.7% of patients. Most DRPs were identified on the endocrinology,
cardiology, and geriatric wards, and they were associated with the efficacy of treatment (71.4%), adverse
drug events (10.2%), and unnecessary drug treatment (18.4%). DRPs were associated with the cause of
hospitalization in 74.4% of patients on the nephrology ward, 60.1% and 60.6% of patients on the cardiology
and endocrinology wards, respectively, whereas this number was lower on the geriatric and gastroenterology
wards (26.9% and 8.9%, respectively). Suboptimal drug treatment due to medication omissions was often
associated with the potential cause of hospital admission. Focusing on patients with specific diseases and
DRPs, rather than reducing the number of medications in primary care, may be potentially rational in an
attempt to reduce drug-related hospitalizations.

admissions in five internal medicine wards. The study included patients admitted to the nephrology,
cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and geriatric wards. The Pharmaceutical Care Network
Europe classification V9.1 was used for identifying DRPs. In total, 535 patients participated in the study.
We identified 954 DRPs (range 1-7) in 80.7% of patients. Most DRPs were identified on the endocrinology,
cardiology, and geriatric wards, and they were associated with the efficacy of treatment (71.4%), adverse
drug events (10.2%), and unnecessary drug treatment (18.4%). DRPs were associated with the cause of
hospitalization in 74.4% of patients on the nephrology ward, 60.1% and 60.6% of patients on the cardiology
and endocrinology wards, respectively, whereas this number was lower on the geriatric and gastroenterology
wards (26.9% and 8.9%, respectively). Suboptimal drug treatment due to medication omissions was often
associated with the potential cause of hospital admission. Focusing on patients with specific diseases and
DRPs, rather than reducing the number of medications in primary care, may be potentially rational in an
attempt to reduce drug-related hospitalizations.",

AB  - Abstract: The retention profile of six serotonin receptor ligands such as arylpiperazines (aripiprazole, ziprasidone, risperidone), and benzothiazepine derivatives (olanzapine, mianserin, quetiapine), was investigated on C8 alkyl and pentafluorophenylpropyl stationary phases. The experimental design methodology was used to define their retention behavior and achieve acceptable separation results. Both phases showed satisfactory selectivity for all compounds. The optimal separation among the structurally related arylpiperazines and benzothiazepines was found with the C8 phase at 25°C, using acetonitrile (40%, v/v) and 20 mM ammonium acetate as a mobile phase modifier. The selectivity and sensitivity performances of the selected C8 system were discussed considering the separation of aripiprazole and its related compounds. In addition, the specified conditions were validated for determining aripiprazole in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The developed reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method can be successfully used for the rapid chromatographic profiling of serotonin receptor ligands and related analogs, providing increased selectivity during pharmaceutical analysis.

AB  - Hypotensive influences of benzodiazepines and other GABAA receptor ligands, recognized in clinical practice, seem to stem from the existence of “vascular” GABAA receptors in peripheral blood vessels, besides any mechanisms in the central and peripheral nervous systems. We aimed to further elucidate the vasodilatatory effects of ligands acting through GABAA receptors. Using immunohistochemistry, the rat aortic smooth muscle layer was found to express GABAA γ 2 and α1-5 subunit proteins. To confirm the role of “vascular” GABAA receptors, we investigated the vascular effects of standard benzodiazepines, mida-zolam, and flumazenil, as well as the novel compound MP-III-058. Using two-electrode voltage clamp electrophysiology and radioligand binding assays, MP-III-058 was found to have modest binding but substantial functional selectivity for α5β3γ 2 over other αxβ3γ 2 GABAA receptors. Tissue bath assays revealed comparable vasodilatory effects of MP-III-058 and midazo-lam, both of which at 100 μmol/L concentrations had efficacy similar to prazosin. Flumazenil exhibited weak vasoactivity per se, but significantly prevented the relaxant effects of midazolam and MP-III-058. These studies indicate the existence of functional GABAA receptors in the rat aorta, where ligands exert vasodilatory effects by positive modulation of the benzodiazepine binding site, suggesting the potential for further quest for leads with optimized pharmacokinetic properties as prospective adjuvant vasodilators.

AB  - Heterocyclic pharmacophores such as thiazole and quinoline rings have a significant role in medicinal chemistry. They are considered privileged structures since they constitute several Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs for cancer treatment. Herein, we report the synthesis, in silico evaluation of the ADMET profiles, and in vitro investigation of the anticancer activity of a series of novel thiazolyl-hydrazones based on the 8-quinoline (1a–c), 2-quinoline (2a–c), and 8-hydroxy-2-quinolyl moiety (3a–c). The panel of several human cancer cell lines and the nontumorigenic human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293 were used to evaluate the compound-mediated in vitro anticancer activities, leading to [2-(2-(quinolyl-8-ol-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)]-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-thiazole (3c) as the most promising compound. The study revealed that 3c blocks the cell-cycle progression of a human colon cancer cell line (HCT-116) in the S phase and induces DNA double-strand breaks. Also, our findings demonstrate that 3c accumulates in lysosomes, ultimately leading to the cell death of the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (Hep-G2) and HCT-116 cells, by the mechanism of autophagy inhibition.

AB  - Oxidative stress has been implicated in numerous pregnancy-related disorders. Biologically active plant sec-
ondary metabolites, which are present in everyday diet, could prove effective therapeutic agents in preventing
these disorders. This study evaluated effects of taxifolin (dihydroquercetin) on ROS production, markers of
oxidative damage to lipids and proteins, activity of antioxidant enzymes and production of pro-inflammatory
cytokines in H2O2-induced oxidative stress in trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells. Taxifolin in 10 μM and 100 μM
concentrations attenuated oxidative damage to lipids and proteins, as evidenced by a decrease in MDA content,
extracellular LDH activity, carbonyl groups and nitrite contents. A reduction in the activity of antioxidant en-
zymes SOD, CAT and GPx in cells pre-treated with taxifolin, prior to H2O2 exposure, was also observed, along
with a reduction in intracellular ROS production. Both evaluated concentrations of taxifolin showed anti-
inflammatory activity in trophoblast cells, by reducing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-
6. In this model of H2O2-induced oxidative stress, taxifolin showed marked antioxidative and anti-
inflammatory activities in trophoblast cells, adding further evidence of its protective effects and showing po-
tential as a therapeutic agent in preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes.

AB  - Background: The influence of homeostatically regulated physiological processes, including cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), on the response to physical stressors such as acclimatisation and marching, remains understudied. We aimed to investigate the effects of summer and winter acclimatisation and marching on cortisol levels and blood lactate, to gain insight into the role of these physiological processes in the stress response. Methods: Two groups of young Europeans, classified as poor (PCF; n=9) and good physical condition (GCF; n=21), based on a VO2max threshold of 40 mL O2/ kg/min, underwent 2-h march (6–7 km/h) in winter (5 ∘C) and summer (32 ∘C). Commercial tests, UniCel DxI Access Cortisol assay and EKF Biosen Clinic/GP assay were used for cortisol and lactate blood measurements (morning samples and those taken immediately after marches), respectively. Results: Basal cortisol levels were significantly higher at 5 °C than at 32 °C (PCF group: P=0.0079; cortisol dropped after the march at 5 °C in both groups, but increased at 32 °C only in PCF. Basal lactate levels were higher at 32 °C only in the GCF group (compared to PCF, P=0.0014) and post-marching (compared to basal values, P=0.0002). Conclusion: Cold exposure elicits a more significant stress response, based on higher basal cortisol levels, in individuals with worse physical fitness. Anaerobe metabolism prevails in participants with better physical fitness exposed to high ambient temperature based on increased basal and post-marching lactate levels. The study is significant for individual training/performance optimisation as it indicates the association between physiological stress responses and individual physical fitness levels.

abstract = "Background: The influence of homeostatically regulated physiological processes, including cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), on the response to physical stressors such as acclimatisation and marching, remains understudied. We aimed to investigate the effects of summer and winter acclimatisation and marching on cortisol levels and blood lactate, to gain insight into the role of these physiological processes in the stress response. Methods: Two groups of young Europeans, classified as poor (PCF; n=9) and good physical condition (GCF; n=21), based on a VO2max threshold of 40 mL O2/ kg/min, underwent 2-h march (6–7 km/h) in winter (5 ∘C) and summer (32 ∘C). Commercial tests, UniCel DxI Access Cortisol assay and EKF Biosen Clinic/GP assay were used for cortisol and lactate blood measurements (morning samples and those taken immediately after marches), respectively. Results: Basal cortisol levels were significantly higher at 5 °C than at 32 °C (PCF group: P=0.0079; cortisol dropped after the march at 5 °C in both groups, but increased at 32 °C only in PCF. Basal lactate levels were higher at 32 °C only in the GCF group (compared to PCF, P=0.0014) and post-marching (compared to basal values, P=0.0002). Conclusion: Cold exposure elicits a more significant stress response, based on higher basal cortisol levels, in individuals with worse physical fitness. Anaerobe metabolism prevails in participants with better physical fitness exposed to high ambient temperature based on increased basal and post-marching lactate levels. The study is significant for individual training/performance optimisation as it indicates the association between physiological stress responses and individual physical fitness levels., Uvod: Uticaj homeostatski regulisanih fiziolo{kih procesa, uklju~uju}i kardiorespiratornu kondiciju (VO2max), na odgovor na fizi~ke stresore poput aklimatizacije i mar{i- ranja, ostaje nedovoljno prou~en.

AB  - Plants of the genus Prangos are intensively investigated as potential new sources of bioactive isolated products. In this work, the chemical composition of volatile constituents (essential oils and headspace volatiles) and dichloromethane extracts, as well as antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of essential oils and MFDEs (methanol fractions of dichloromethane extracts) of Prangos trifida from Serbia, were investigated. Volatiles of roots, leaves, stems and fruits, and fatty acids and phytosterols in dichloromethane extracts of roots and fruits were analyzed by GC-FID-MS, whereas coumarins in MFDEs by LC–MS and some isolated coumarins by 1H-NMR. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations/minimum fungicidal concentrations (MBCs/MFCs) of essential oils and MFDEs were determined against 13 microorganisms. Antibiofilm activity was assessed against four microorganisms. Additionally, congo red and ergosterol binding assays were conducted to elucidate selected mechanisms of antibiofilm action in the case of Candida albicans. Total of 52 volatile constituents, 16 fatty acids, eight phytosterols and 10 coumarins were identified. Essential oils demonstrated significant activity, surpassing that of commercial food preservatives, against six tested molds from the Aspergillus, Penicillium and Trichoderma genera, as well as against bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. Most of the oils strongly inhibited the formation of biofilms by S. aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. MFDEs exhibited noteworthy effects against B. cereus and the tested Aspergillus species, particularly A. niger, and significantly inhibited C. albicans biofilm formation. This inhibition was linked to a marked reduction in exopolysaccharide production, while antifungal mechanisms associated with ergosterol remained unaffected.

AB  - The aim of this work was to investigate the composition of essential oils isolated from fruits of Peucedanum longifolium, and Rhizomatophora aegopodioides (a species which was previously placed in the genus Peucedanum), as well as to compare the obtained results to those available for other previously investigated related species (including taxa which are also, according to some authors, excluded from the genus Peucedanum). Essential oils were obtained via hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus and their composition was analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS. To compare these data to those of previously investigated taxa, a chemometric approach was applied; the data were analyzed using multivariate statistical methods: non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) and hierarchical cluster analysis. The most abundant in P. longifolium essential oil were monoterpenes (79.7%), mostly α-phellandrene (26.2%), β-phellandrene + limonene (21.0%) and myrcene (9.5%), followed by sesquiterpenes (18.3%), mostly germacrene B (9.5%). On the other hand, dominant in R. aegopodioides essential oil were non-terpenic aliphatic hydrocarbons (46.1%), mainly n-undecane (16.5%) and n-nonane (11.3%). In addition, this essential oil also contained a notable quantity of sesquiterpenes (25.1%), with (E)-sesquilavandulol being the most abundant (10.0%). The results of multivariate statistics revealed a clear separation of the essential oil composition of R. aegopodioides and P. longifolium, as well as of P. longifolium and P. officinale. The clustering of the samples of most of the taxa that do not belong to the Peucedanum in the narrow sense (sensu stricto) was also observed, which is in accordance with their recent inclusion in separate genera.

AB  - Bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV control the topological state of DNA during replication
and represent important antibacterial drug targets. To be successful as drug candidates, newly synthesized compounds must possess optimal lipophilicity, which enables efficient delivery to the site of action. In this study, retention behavior of twenty-three previously synthesized dual DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibitors was tested in RP-HPLC system, consisting of C8 column and acetonitrile/phosphate buffer (pH 5.5 and pH 7.4) mobile phase. logD was calculated at both pH values and the best correlation with logD was obtained for retention parameter φ0, indicating that this RP-HPLC system could be used as an alternative to the shake-flask determination of lipophilicity. Subsequent QSRR analysis revealed that intrinsic lipophilicity (logP) and molecular weight (bcutm13) have a positive, while solubility (bcutp3) has a negative influence on this  retention parameter.

AB  - Purpose: End-stage renal disease patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) have a shortened life expectancy compared to the general population. The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible link between three new and emerging factors in renal pathophysiology: Klotho protein, telomere length in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (TL) and redox status parameters before HD (bHD) and after HD (aHD), and to test mortality prediction capability of these emerging parameters in a population of HD patients. Methods: The study included 130 adult patients with average age 66 (54–72), on HD (3 times per week; 4–5 h per session). Klotho level, TL, routine laboratory parameters, dialysis adequacy and redox status parameters: advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), prooxidant–antioxidant balance (PAB), superoxide anion (O2.−), malondialdehyde (MDA), ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), total sulfhydryl group content (SHG), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined. Results: Klotho concentration was significantly higher aHD; 68.2 (22.6–152.9) vs. bHD 64.2 (25.5–119.8) (p = 0.027). The observed increase in TL was not statistically significant. AOPP, PAB, SHG, and SOD activity were significantly increased aHD (p > 0.001). The patients with the highest mortality risk score (MRS) had significantly higher PAB bHD (p = 0.002). Significantly lower O2.− (p < 0.001), SHG content (p = 0.072), and IMA (p = 0.002) aHD were found in patients with the lowest MRS values. Principal component analysis revealed redox balance-Klotho factor as a significant predictor of high mortality risk (p = 0.014). Conclusion: Decreased Klotho and TL attrition as well as redox status disturbance could be connected with higher mortality rate in HD patients.
