BIOPHARMACY: Microchip 'could improve detection of substandard drugs'

http://biopharmacy.blogspot.com/2012/08/microchip-could-improve-detection-of.html

Martes, 14 de agosto de 2012. Microchip 'could improve detection of substandard drugs'. A new way of detecting substandard drugs will be put to field tests soon. A microchip tailored to detect a specific active ingredient in a drug that costs only a few US cents to produce could help in efforts to detect counterfeit and substandard medicines in the developing world, researchers say. Zaman said the new approach is better than a one-size-fits-all strategy, because the probes for each type of drug are more ...

BIOPHARMACY: Promising microbicide can be produced by plants

http://biopharmacy.blogspot.com/2009/06/promising-microbicide-can-be-produced.html

Martes, 23 de junio de 2009. Promising microbicide can be produced by plants. Fields of genetically modified tobacco could produce large quantities of microbicide. Scientists have developed an anti-HIV microbicide that can be mass-produced in plants — in quantities large enough to make it affordable for people in developing countries, they say. The researchers also showed that the microbicide can be mass-produced by transferring the gene constructed for the microbicide into tobacco plant cells. But the r...

BIOPHARMACY: For the First Time, Lab-Grown Blood Is Pumped Into a Human's Veins

http://biopharmacy.blogspot.com/2011/11/for-first-time-lab-grown-blood-is.html

Domingo, 13 de noviembre de 2011. For the First Time, Lab-Grown Blood Is Pumped Into a Human's Veins. Artificial blood may become a common reality, thanks to the first successful transfusion of lab-grown blood into a human. Luc Douay, of Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris, extracted hematopoietic stem cells from a volunteer's bone marrow, and encouraged these cells to grow into red blood cells with a cocktail of growth factors. This is great news for international health care. Other attempts to syn...

BIOPHARMACY: Thousands of possible malaria drugs found

http://biopharmacy.blogspot.com/2010/05/thousands-of-possible-malaria-drugs.html

Sábado, 29 de mayo de 2010. Thousands of possible malaria drugs found. Scientists have discovered thousands of potential new drug compounds for tackling malaria. Malaria, caused by a parasite carried by mosquitoes, kills hundreds of thousands of people each year, with the highest disease burden in Sub-Saharan Africa, and resistance to existing drugs threatens to make it even deadlier. But now, two papers in. Some 8,000 worked well against multi drug-resistant. From today, the structures of the compounds ...

BIOPHARMACY: African countries should unite for drug development

http://biopharmacy.blogspot.com/2010/05/african-countries-should-unite-for-drug.html

Domingo, 9 de mayo de 2010. African countries should unite for drug development. African nations must pool resources to promote local pharmaceutical innovation, say. Africa bears a quarter of the world's disease burden, yet accounts for less than one per cent of global expenditure on health. About half of the continent's population lacks access to essential medicines and the few drugs that are available often come from outside — Sub-Saharan Africa imports nearly 90 per cent of its medicines. Both approac...

BIOPHARMACY: First promising TB drug in decades, say researchers

http://biopharmacy.blogspot.com/2009/06/first-promising-tb-drug-in-decades-say.html

Lunes, 29 de junio de 2009. First promising TB drug in decades, say researchers. The first new tuberculosis drug in 40 years has successfully treated multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients in a clinical trial in South Africa. Diarylquinoline TMC207 works differently from other anti-tuberculosis drugs by targeting an enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the agent that causes TB. The researchers gave the drug to 20 patients in addition to standard therapy for MDR-TB for eight weeks. What we sa...
