This study investigated the occurrence and dissipation of three azole biocides climbazole, clotrimazole and miconazole in biosolid-amended soils of the three sites (Zhejiang, Hunan and Shandong) in China following three treatments (CK: control without biosolid application; T1: one biosolid application; T2: biosolid application every year). The results showed that climbazole, clotrimazole and mi...

nitrate is a widely used antifungal agent, but its use in topical formulations is not efficacious because deepseated fungal infections are difficult to treat with conventional topical formulations. The entrapment of a drug in liposomes can facilitate localized delivery of the drug, and improved availability by means of a controlled-release pattern can advance the treatment of deep fungal infect...

The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of pod and seed development on leaf chlorophyll concentration, and on activities of leaf ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, leaf nitrate reductase, and root nodule acetylene reduction in field-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). Two genetic male-sterile lines and their fertile counterparts (Williams and Clark 63) were compared in bot...

OBJECTIVES Increasing multidrug resistance amongst canine pathogenic staphylococci has renewed interest in topical antibacterial therapy for skin infections in the context of responsible veterinary prescribing. We therefore determined the activity in vitro of three clinically relevant topical agents and synergism between two of them against Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus aur...

A direct study evaluating whether differential drug uptake of topical 2% miconazole and 2% ketoconazole from cream formulations into human stratum corneum correlated with differential pharmacological activity against Candida albicans was investigated in healthy human subjects. A single 24-h topical dose of 2% ketoconazole cream or 2% miconazole cream was applied unoccluded, at the same dose (2....

Azole agents especially Miconazole are widely used even during pregnancy as antifungal agents. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of FTIR Micro-Spectroscopy for discriminating of Miconazole treated liver tissue from control liver tissue. The mice were injected with Miconazole (60 mg/Kg) on gestation day 9 and they were dissected on pregnancy day 15. The fetus fixed, dehydrated a...

Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for 10-15% of all strokes and is strongly associated with mortality and morbidity worldwide, but its prevention and therapeutic interventions remain a major challenge. Here, we report the identification of miconazole as a hemorrhagic suppressor by a small-molecule screen in zebrafish. We found that a hypomorphic mutant fn40a, one of several known β-pix mutant alleles...
