    Abstract Oxidation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can impact their efficacy and may therefore represent critical quality attributes (CQA) that require evaluation. To complement classical CQA, bevacizumab and infliximab were subjected to oxidative stress by H2O2 for 24, 48, or 72 h to probe their oxidation susceptibility. For investigation, a middle-up approach was used utilizing liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS). In both mAbs, the Fc/2 subunit was completely oxidized. Additional oxidations were found in the light chain (LC) and in the Fd’ subunit of infliximab, but not in bevacizumab. By direct comparison of methionine positions, the oxidized residues in infliximab were assigned to M55 in LC and M18 in Fd’. The forced oxidation approach was further exploited for comparison of respective biosimilar products. Both for bevacizumab and infliximab, comparison of posttranslational modification profiles demonstrated high similarity of the unstressed reference product (RP) and the biosimilar (BS). However, for bevacizumab, comparison after forced oxidation revealed a higher susceptibility of the BS compared to the RP. It may thus be considered a useful tool for biopharmaceutical engineering, biosimilarity assessment, as well as for quality control of protein drugs.

    Abstract The demand for efficient machine learning (ML) accelerators is growing rapidly, driving the development of novel computing concepts such as resistive random access memory (RRAM)-based tiled computing-in-memory (CIM) architectures. CIM allows to compute within the memory unit, resulting in faster data processing and reduced power consumption. Efficient compiler algorithms are essential to exploit the potential of tiled CIM architectures. While conventional ML compilers focus on code generation for CPUs, GPUs, and other von Neumann architectures, adaptations are needed to cover CIM architectures. Cross-layer scheduling is a promising approach, as it enhances the utilization of CIM cores, thereby accelerating computations. Although similar concepts are implicitly used in previous work, there is a lack of clear and quantifiable algorithmic definitions for cross-layer scheduling for tiled CIM architectures. To close this gap, we present CLSA-CIM, a cross-layer scheduling algorithm for tiled CIM architectures. We integrate CLSA-CIM with existing weight-mapping strategies and compare performance against state-of-the-art (SOTA) scheduling algorithms. CLSA-CIM improves the utilization by up to 17.9 x , resulting in an overall speedup increase of up to 29.2 x compared to SOTA.

    Abstract Batch recalls for valsartan containing pharmaceutical products in July 2018 initiated a discussion on possible contaminations with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). It appeared that NDMA was generated during synthesis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from the solvent dimethylformamide (DMF) and the reagent nitrite. Discussion on NDMA as API impurity is extended to other drugs since then. Already several years before scientific literature reported NDMA as impurity of several other drugs, thus underlining the apparent risk. At present none of the pharmacopoeias tests for NDMA and only very limited publications of methods for its determination in pharmaceuticals are published so far. This review summarizes aspects for the analyses of nitrosamines (NAs) with special focus on NDMA and discusses their potential applicability for drug analyses. The majority of recent publications utilize GC-MS or GC-MS/MS due to its high selectivity and low detection levels. GC-TEA also provides high selectivity for nitrosamines. However, current availability of this combination is very limited. Alternatively, LC-MS/MS is also performed in NA analysis. An integration of a general test in future pharmacopoeias is suggested due to the toxicological relevance and broader spectrum of possible APIs that may be affected.

    Abstract The investigation of molecular model systems is fundamental towards a deeper understanding of key photochemical steps in natural photosynthesis. Herein, we report an entirely non-covalent triad consisting of boron dipyrromethene (BDP), porphyrin (ZnP), and fullerene (C60). Non-covalent binding motifs such as an amidinium-carboxylate salt bridge as well as axial pyridyl-metal coordination offer substantial electronic coupling and establish efficient pathways for photoactivated energy and electron transfer processes along a well-tuned gradient. Experimental findings from steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic assays, as well as (spectro-)electrochemical measurements corroborate the formation of BDP|ZnP|C60 in solution, on one hand, and significant communication in the excited states, on the other hand. BDP acts as an energy harvesting antenna towards ZnP, which eventually undergoes charge separation with C60 by electron transfer from ZnP to C60. Notably, full spectral deconvolution of the transient species was achieved, supporting the successful self-assembly as well as giving a clear view onto the occurring photophysical processes and their spectral footprints upon photoexcitation.

    Abstract Controlling the molecular architecture of well-organized organic building blocks and linking their functionalities with the impact of solar-light converting systems constitutes a grand challenge in materials science. Strong absorption cross-sections across the visible range of the solar spectrum as well as a finely balanced energy- and redox-gradient are all important features that pave the way for either funneling excited state energy or transducing charges. In light of this, we used thiopyridyl-phthalocyanines (PcSPy) and ruthenium (

    Abstract Background: Although neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery (NT) is the standard of care for esophageal cancer in Western countries, upfront surgery (US) followed by adjuvant therapy (when indicated) still is commonly used in Asia to minimize overtreatment. This study investigated the cost-effectiveness of NT versus US for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
    Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of ESCC between 2010 and 2015 were divided into NT or US according to the intention to treat. Two propensity score-matched groups of patients with clinical stage 2 (135 pairs) or stage 3 (194 pairs) disease were identified and compared in terms of overall survival (OS) and direct costs incurred within 3 years after diagnosis.
    Results: The esophagectomy rates after NT were 82% for stage 2 and 88% for stage 3 disease. Compared with US, surgery after NT was associated with higher R0 resection rates, a lower number of dissected lymph nodes, and similar postoperative mortality. On an intention-to-treat analysis, stage 3 patients who received NT had a significantly better 3-year OS rate (45%) than those treated with US (37%) (p = 0.029) without significant cost increases (p = 0.89). However, NT for clinical stage 2 disease neither increased costs nor improved 3-year OS rates (47% vs 47%; p = 0.88). At a willingness-to-pay level of US$50,000 per life-year, the probability of NT being cost-effective was 92% for stage 3 versus 59% for stage 2 ESCC.
    Conclusion: Because of its higher cost-effectiveness, NT is preferable to US for patients with clinical stage 3 ESCC, but US remains a viable option for stage 2 disease.
