    Abstract Ritlecitinib, an orally available Janus kinase 3 and tyrosine kinase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of alopecia areata (AA), is highly soluble across the physiological pH range at the therapeutic dose. As such, it is expected to dissolve rapidly in any in vitro dissolution conditions. However, in vitro dissolution data showed slower dissolution for 100-mg capsules, used for the clinical bioequivalence (BE) study, compared with proposed commercial 50-mg capsules. Hence, a biowaiver for the lower 50-mg strength using comparable multimedia dissolution based on the f2 similarity factor was not possible. The in vivo relevance of this observed in vitro dissolution profile was evaluated with a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. This report describes the development, verification, and application of the ritlecitinib PBPK model to translate observed in vitro dissolution data to an in vivo PK profile for ritlecitinib capsule formulations. Virtual BE (VBE) trials were conducted using the Simcyp VBE module, including the model-predicted within-subject variability or intra-subject coefficient of variation (ICV). The results showed the predicted ICV was predicted to be smaller than observed clinical ICV, resulting in a more optimistic BE risk assessment. Additional VBE assessment was conducted by incorporating clinically observed ICV. The VBE trial results including clinically observed ICV demonstrated that proposed commercial 50-mg capsules vs clinical 100-mg capsules were bioequivalent, with > 90% probability of success. This study demonstrates a PBPK model-based biowaiver for a clinical BE study while introducing a novel method to integrate clinically observed ICV into VBE trials with PBPK models.

    Abstract The main challenge in second generation bioethanol production is the efficient breakdown of cellulose to sugar monomers (hydrolysis). Due to the recalcitrant character of cellulose, feedstock pretreatment and adapted hydrolysis steps are needed to obtain fermentable sugar monomers. The conventional industrial production process of second-generation bioethanol from biomass comprises several steps: thermochemical pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and sugar fermentation. This process is undergoing continuous optimization in order to increase the bioethanol yield and reduce the economic cost. Therefore, the discovery of new enzymes with high lignocellulytic activity or new strategies is extremely important. In nature, wood-feeding termites have developed a sophisticated and efficient cellulose degrading system in terms of the rate and extent of cellulose hydrolysis and exploitation. This system, which represents a model for digestive symbiosis has attracted the attention of biofuel researchers. This review describes the termite digestive system, gut symbionts, termite enzyme resources, in vitro studies of isolated enzymes and lignin degradation in termites.

    Abstract Second generation biofuel production depends on lignocellulosic (LC) biomass transformation into simple sugars and their subsequent fermentation into alcohols. However, the main obstacle in this process is the efficient breakdown of the recalcitrant cellulose to sugar monomers. Hence, efficient feedstock pretreatment and hydrolysis are necessary to produce a cost effective biofuel. Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been recognized as a promising solvent able to dissolve different biomass feedstocks, providing higher sugar yields. However, most of the hydrolytic enzymes and microorganisms are inactivated, completely or partially, in the presence of even low concentrations of IL, making necessary the discovery of novel hydrolytic enzymes and fermentative microorganisms that are tolerant to ILs. In this review, the current state and the challenges of using ILs as a pretreatment of LC biomass was evaluated, underlining the advances in the discovery and identification of new IL-tolerant enzymes and microorganisms that could improve the bioprocessing of biomass to fuels and chemicals.

    Abstract Aim: To determine the population pharmacokinetic parameters of vancomycin in neonatal patients with a wide range of gestational age and birth weight, and subsequently to design an initial dosing schedule for vancomycin in neonates.
    Methods: Using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling (NONMEM VI), the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin were investigated in 70 neonates with postmenstrual age and body weight ranging 25.1-48.1 weeks and 0.7-3.7kg, respectively. A one-compartment linear disposition model with zero order input and first-order elimination was used to describe the data. Nine demographic characteristics and 21 co-administered drugs were evaluated as covariates of clearance (CL) and distribution volume (V(d) ) of vancomycin.
    Results: Weight-normalized clearance of vancomycin was influenced by postmenstrual age (PMA) and co-administration of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Weight-normalized volume of distribution was influenced by co-administration of spironolactone. CL and V(d) of the typical individual in this study population (PMA = 34.6 weeks, weight = 1.7kg) were estimated to be 0.066lh(-1) kg(-1) (95% CI 0.059, 0.073lh(-1) kg(-1) ) and 0.572lkg(-1) (95% CI 0.505, 0.639lkg(-1) ), respectively. This model was used to predict a priori serum vancomycin concentrations in a validation group (n= 41), which were compared with observed concentrations to determine the predictive performance of the model. The 95% confidence interval of mean prediction error included zero for both peak and trough vancomycin concentrations.
    Conclusions: Postmenstrual age, co-administration of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and spironolactone have a significant effect on the weight-normalized CL and V(d) . An initial dosage guideline for vancomycin is proposed for preterm and full-term neonates, whereas the population pharmacokinetic model can be used for dosage individualization of vancomycin.

    Abstract Genetically modified Lactococcus lactis, non-pathogenic bacteria expressing the FNIII(7-10) fibronectin fragment as a protein membrane have been used to create a living biointerface between synthetic materials and mammalian cells. This FNIII(7-10) fragment comprises the RGD and PHSRN sequences of fibronectin to bind α5β1 integrins and triggers signalling for cell adhesion, spreading and differentiation. We used L. lactis strain to colonize material surfaces and produce stable biofilms presenting the FNIII(7-10) fragment readily available to cells. Biofilm density is easily tunable and remains stable for several days. Murine C2C12 myoblasts seeded over mature biofilms undergo bipolar alignment and form differentiated myotubes, a process triggered by the FNIII(7-10) fragment. This biointerface based on living bacteria can be further modified to express any desired biochemical signal, establishing a new paradigm in biomaterial surface functionalisation for biomedical applications.

    Abstract Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a critical role during development of both normal and malignant colorectal cancer tissues. Phosphorylation of β-catenin protein alters its trafficking and function. Such conventional allosteric regulation usually involves a highly specialized set of molecular interactions, which may specifically turn on a particular cell phenotype. This study identifies a novel transcription modulator with an FLYWCH/Zn-finger DNA-binding domain, called "FLYWCH1." Using a modified yeast-2-hybrid based Ras-Recruitment system, it is demonstrated that FLYWCH1 directly binds to unphosphorylated (nuclear) β-catenin efficiently suppressing the transcriptional activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling that cannot be rescued by TCF4. FLYWCH1 rearranges the transcriptional activity of β-catenin/TCF4 to selectively block the expression of specific downstream genes associated with colorectal cancer cell migration and morphology, including ZEB1, EPHA4, and E-cadherin. Accordingly, overexpression of FLYWCH1 reduces cell motility and increases cell attachment. The expression of FLYWCH1 negatively correlates with the expression level of ZEB1 and EPHA4 in normal versus primary and metastatic colorectal cancer tissues in patients. Thus, FLYWCH1 antagonizes β-catenin/TCF4 signaling during cell polarity/migration in colorectal cancer. IMPLICATIONS: This study uncovers a new molecular mechanism by which FLYWCH1 with a possible tumor suppressive role represses β-catenin-induced ZEB1 and increases cadherin-mediated cell attachment preventing colorectal cancer metastasis.
