1. Dissipation and residue determination of penicillin G and its two metabolites in citrus under field conditions by DSPE/UPLC-MS/MS
Qiyang Zhao, Jiao An, Jie Zhou, Chao Dong, Bining Jiao, Yaohai Zhang, Yongliang Cui Biomed Chromatogr . 2020 Dec;34(12):e4962. doi: 10.1002/bmc.4962.
A rapid determination method of residual penicillin G and its two metabolites in citrus was developed and validated by dispersive solid-phase extraction and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (DSPE/UPLC-MS/MS). The samples were extracted with 80% acetonitrile and purified with octadecylsilane. High linearity was obtained with correlation coefficients (r2) >0.9981. The limits of quantification were 0.005-0.01 mg/kg. The recoveries of penicillin G and its metabolites spiked in blank citrus were within 76.7-107%, with relative standard deviations of 1.3-9.6%. The dissipation dynamics and distribution of penicillin G in citrus followed first-order kinetics, with half-life of 1.7-2.7 days. Penicillin G degraded easily in citrus and the metabolite was mainly penilloic acid, which can exist stably for long time. The terminal residues of penicillin G in pulp, whole citrus and peels were 0.015-0.701, 0.047-7.653 and 0.162-13.376 mg/kg, respectively. The hazard indexes for risk assessment of citrus were significantly <1, suggesting that the health risks to humans after consumption of citrus were insignificant and negligible. These results could provide necessary data for evaluating the safe and proper use of penicillin G in citrus.
2. Serum penicillin G levels are lower than expected in adults within two weeks of administration of 1.2 million units
Jeffrey L Blumer, Kevin L Russell, Edward L Kaplan, Michael P Broderick, Dennis J Faix, Christian J Hansen PLoS One . 2011;6(10):e25308. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0025308.
When introduced in the 1950s, benzathine penicillin G (BPG) was shown to be effective in eradicating group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS) for at least 3 weeks after administration. Several studies since the 1990s suggest that at 3-4 weeks serum penicillin G levels are less than adequate (below MIC(90) of 0.016 µg/ml). We studied these levels for 4 weeks after the recommended dose of BPG in military recruits, for whom it is used as prophylaxis against GAS. The 329 subjects (mean age 20 years) each received 1.2 million units BPG IM and gave sera 1 day post injection and twice more at staggered time points over 4 weeks. Serum penicillin G levels were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectometry. The half-life of serum penicillin G was 4.1 days. By day 11, mean levels were <0.02 µg/ml, and by day 15<0.01 µg/ml. Levels in more than 50% of the subjects were below 0.02 µg/ml on day 9, and <.01 µg/ml on day 16. There was no demonstrable effect of subject body-surface area nor of the four different lots of BPG used. These data indicate that in healthy young adults serum penicillin G levels become less than protective <2½ weeks after injection of 1.2 million units of BPG. The findings require serious consideration in future medical and public health recommendations for treatment and prophylaxis of GAS upper respiratory tract infections.
3. Short chain α-pyrones capable of potentiating penicillin G against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Clair A Huffine, Whitney R Craig, Amanda L Wolfe, Jacob C Chappell, Leah M Bouthillette, Lauren Fields, Catherine F Allen, Jacob T Shumate Bioorg Med Chem Lett . 2020 Aug 15;30(16):127301. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2020.127301.
The dramatic increase in bacterial resistance over the past three decades has greatly reduced the effectiveness of nearly all clinical antibiotics, bringing infectious disease to the forefront as a dire threat to global health. To combat these infections, adjuvant therapies have emerged as a way to reactivate known antibiotics against resistant pathogens. Herein, we report the evaluation of simplified α-pyrone adjuvants capable of potentiating penicillin G against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative pathogen whose multidrug-resistant strains have been labeled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a serious threat to public health.
