    Abstract Background: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZM) are antimalarial drugs recently reported to be active against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus- 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is causing the global COVID-19 pandemic. In an emergency response to the pandemic, we aimed to develop a quantitation method for HCQ, its metabolites desethylhydroxychloroquine (DHCQ) and bisdesethylchloroquine (BDCQ), and AZM in human plasma.
    Methods: Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to develop the method. Samples (20 μL) are extracted by solid-phase extraction and injected onto the LC-MS/MS system equipped with a PFP column (2.0 × 50 mm, 3 μm). ESI+ and MRM are used for detection. Ion pairs m/z 336.1→247.1 for HCQ, 308.1→179.1 for DHCQ, 264.1→179.1 for BDCQ, and 749.6→591.6 for AZM are selected for quantification. The ion pairs m/z 342.1→253.1, 314.1→181.1, 270.1→181.1, and 754.6→596.6 are selected for the corresponding deuterated internal standards (IS) HCQ-d4, DHCQ-d4, BDCQ-d4, and AZM-d5. The less abundant IS ions from 37Cl were used to overcome the interference from the analytes.
    Results: Under optimized conditions, retention times are 0.78 min for BDCQ, 0.79 min for DHCQ, 0.92 min for HCQ and 1.87 min for AZM. Total run time is 3.5 min per sample. The calibration ranges are 2-1000 ng/mL for HCQ and AZM, 1-500 ng/mL for DHCQ and 0.5-250 ng/mL for BDCQ; samples above the range are validated for up to 10-fold dilution. Recoveries of the method ranged from 88.9-94.4% for HCQ, 88.6-92.9% for DHCQ, 88.7-90.9% for BDCQ, and 98.6%-102% for AZM. The IS normalized matrix effect were within (100±10) % for all 4 analytes. Blood samples are stable for at least 6 hr at room temperature. Plasma samples are stable for at least 66 hr at room temperature, 38 days at -70°C, and 4 freeze-thaw cycles.
    Conclusions: An LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantitation of HCQ, DHCQ, BDCQ, and AZM in human plasma was developed and validated for clinical studies requiring fast turnaround time and small samples volume.

    Abstract Piperaquine (PQ) is an antimalarial drug that is highly protein-bound. Variation in plasma protein contents may affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure of unbound drug, leading to alteration of clinical outcomes. All published methods for determination of PQ in human plasma measure the total PQ including both bound and unbound PQ to plasma proteins. There is no published method for unbound PQ determination. Here we report an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for determination of PQ in human plasma filtrate prepared by filtering human plasma through Millipore Microcon® centrifugal filters (10k NMWL). The filter cup had to be treated with 5% benzalkonium chloride to reduce non-specific binding to the filter devices before filtration of plasma samples.

    Abstract Piperaquine (PQ) is an antimalarial drug that is highly protein-bound. Variation in plasma protein contents may affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure of unbound drug, leading to alteration of clinical outcomes. All published methods for determination of PQ in human plasma measure the total PQ including both bound and unbound PQ to plasma proteins. There is no published method for unbound PQ determination. Here we report an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for determination of PQ in human plasma filtrate prepared by filtering human plasma through Millipore Microcon® centrifugal filters (10k NMWL). The filter cup had to be treated with 5% benzalkonium chloride to reduce non-specific binding to the filter devices before filtration of plasma samples. Multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) of the ion pairs m/z 535/288 for PQ and m/z 541/294 for the internal standard (IS) was selected for quantification. When electrospray ionization (ESI+) was used, paradoxical matrix effect was observed despite the structure similarity of the deuterated IS: Ion suppression for PQ versus ion enhancement for the PQ-d6, even though they were closely eluted: 0.62 min versus 0.61 min. Separation was achieved on Evo C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm, Phenomenex Inc.) eluted with 10 mM NH4OH and MeCN. When atmospheric pressure chemical ionization in positive mode (APCI+) was used for ion source, matrix effect diminished. Separation was achieved on a PFP column (30 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm, Waters, Corp.) eluted with aqueous 20 mM ammonium formate 0.14% trifluoroacetic acid (A) and methanol-acetonitrile (4:1, v/v) containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (B) at 0.8 mL/min flow rate in a gradient mode: 30–30–80–80–30–30%B (0–0.1–1.0–1.40–1.41–1.50 min). The retention time was 0.67 min for both PQ and the IS. The method was validated with a linear calibration range from 20 to 5,000 pg/mL and applied to clinical samples.

    Abstract Background: Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus has been of public health concern since 2003. Probable risk factors for A(H5N1) transmission to human have been demonstrated in several studies or epidemiological reports. However, transmission patterns may differ according to demographic characteristics of the population and local practices. This article aggregates these data from three studies with data collected in the previous surveys in 2006 and 2007 to further examine the risks factors associated with presence of anti-A(H5) antibodies among villagers residing within outbreak areas.
    Methods: We aggregated 5-year data (2006-2010) from serology survey and matched case-control studies in Cambodia to further examine the risks factors associated with A(H5N1) infection among villagers in the outbreak areas.
    Results: Serotesting among villagers detected 35 (1.5 % [0-2.6]) positive cases suggesting recent exposure to A(H5N1) virus. Practices associated with A(H5N1) infection among all ages were: having poultry cage or nesting area under or adjacent to the house (OR: 6.7 [1.6-28.3]; p = 0.010) and transporting poultry to market (OR: 17.6 [1.6-193.7]; p = 0.019). Practices found as risk factors for the infection among age under 20 years were swimming/bathing in ponds also accessed by domestic poultry (OR: 4.6 [1.1-19.1]; p = 0.038). Association with consuming wild birds reached borderline significance (p = 0.066).
    Conclusion: Our results suggest that swimming/bathing in contaminated pond water and close contact with poultry may present a risk of A(H5N1) transmission to human.

    Abstract It is well established that intramolecular hydrogen bonding and N-methylation play important roles in the passive permeability of cyclic peptides, but other structural features have been explored less intensively. Recent studies on the oral bioavailability of the cyclic heptapeptide sanguinamide A have raised the question of whether steric occlusion of polar groups via β-branching is an effective, yet untapped, tool in cyclic peptide permeability optimization. We report the structures of 17 sanguinamide A analogues designed to test the relative contributions of β-branching, N-methylation, and side chain size to passive membrane permeability and aqueous solubility. We demonstrate that β-branching has little effect on permeability compared to the effects of aliphatic carbon count and N-methylation of exposed NH groups. We highlight a new N-methylated analogue of sanguinamide A with a Leu substitution at position 2 that exhibits solvent-dependent flexibility and improved permeability over that of the natural product.

    Abstract In Cambodia, most poultry are raised in backyard flocks with a low level of biosecurity, which increases the risk of spread of infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a practical biosecurity intervention based on affordable basic measures. A cluster randomised trial was conducted in 18 villages in Cambodia from November 2009 to February 2011. Generalised estimating equations were used to test the association between the intervention and mortality rates in flocks of chickens and ducks. Mortality rates in chicken flocks in intervention villages (mean 6.3%, range 3.5-13.8%, per month) were significantly higher than in control villages (mean 4.5%, range 2.0-9.7%, per month; P<0.01). Mortality rates in duck flocks in intervention villages (mean 4.1%, range 1.9-7.9%, per month) were significantly higher than in control villages (mean 2.8%, range 0.6-8.0%, per month; P<0.01). Despite good compliance among poultry owners, the biosecurity intervention implemented in this study was not associated with improvements in poultry mortality rates. These findings suggest that basic biosecurity measures may not suffice to limit the spread of infectious diseases in backyard poultry flocks in Cambodia.
