pyrazine derivatives are important class of compounds with diverse biological and cytotoxic activities and clinical applications. in this study, b3 p 86 / 6 – 31 + + g * was used to compute and map the molecular surface electrostatic potentials of a group of substituted amides of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acids to identify common features related to their subsequent cytotoxicities. several statisti...

the interest in plants antimicrobial properties has been revived because of the current problems associated with the use of antibiotics. nowadays, the fact that microorganisms tend to develop drug resistance, besides the side effects of certain antibiotics has offered considerable potentials for the development of new effective antifungal and antioxidant agents; medicinal plants are prolific so...

OBJECTIVES To assess the quality of antifungal use, to propose a point score for this evaluation and to estimate the potential economic savings of an antifungal stewardship programme. METHODS From December 2010 to January 2011, we identified 100 adult inpatients receiving systemic antifungals. Antifungal use was evaluated by means of a predefined score that considered indication, drug selecti...
