Multipurpose Prevention Approaches with Antiretroviral-Based Formulations.

چکیده
We compared the preclinical safety and efficacy of tenofovir (TFV) 1% gel with that of MZC gel [containing 50 μM MIV-150, 14 mM Zn(O2CCH3)2(H2O)2, and 3% carrageenan] through a series of in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo assays. The two gels showed good antiviral therapeutic indexes (50% cytotoxic concentration/50% effective concentration ratios; range, >25 to 800). MZC showed greater anti-simian-human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase (SHIV-RT) activity than TFV 1% gel in rhesus macaque vaginal explants. MZC protected mice from vaginal herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) challenge (P < 0.0001), but the TFV 1% gel did not.

متن کاملAn Improved Formulation For Scheduling Multipurpose Batch Plants Using Synchronous Slots
Several continuous-time formulations in the literature address the most demanding problem of scheduling in multipurpose batch plants. These formulations can be broadly classified into two types based on the assignment binary variables. They are (i) Formulations with decoupling and (ii) ones without decoupling. The former rely on the postulation that decoupling the tasks from units reduces the n...
