Intraocular penetration of intravenous micafungin in inflamed human eyes.

Eight eyes of 7 patients with fungal disease received intravenous injections of 150 to 300 mg micafungin, and samples of blood, cornea, retina-choroid, aqueous humor, and vitreous humor were collected. The micafungin levels in all collected samples exceeded the MICs; however, the levels in the vitreous and aqueous humors were lower. Our findings suggest that intravenous micafungin should be giv...

In vitro investigation of the hepatobiliary disposition mechanisms of the antifungal agent micafungin in humans and rats.

The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the transport mechanisms responsible for elimination of micafungin, a new semisynthetic echinocandin antifungal agent, which is predominantly cleared by biliary excretion in humans and rats. In vitro studies using sandwich-cultured rat and human hepatocytes were conducted. Micafungin uptake occurred primarily (∼75%) by transporter-mediated mecha...

Cefazolin levels after intravitreal injection. Effects of inflammation and surgery.

Cefazolin (2.25 mg) was injected into the vitreous cavity of phakic, aphakic, and aphakic/vitrectomized rabbits; inflamed eyes were compared to controls. Vitreous levels of cefazolin were determined at selected times from 2 to 48 hr, and the half-life was calculated. The effect of inflammation was to increase the half-life or to reduce the rate of elimination of cefazolin from the vitreous cavi...

Comparative effects of micafungin, caspofungin, and anidulafungin against a difficult-to-treat fungal opportunistic pathogen, Candida glabrata.

The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro and in vivo activities of micafungin, caspofungin, and anidulafungin against Candida glabrata. The MICs against 28 clinical isolates showed that the overall susceptibilities to caspofungin and to micafungin were not statistically different in the absence of human serum, whereas the isolates were less susceptible to micafungin than to caspofungin...

The expression of LGR5 in healthy human stem cell niches and its modulation in inflamed conditions

PURPOSE The aims of this study are to investigate the expression of leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) protein in the normal human cornea and limbus and to analyze modifications of this expression under inflammatory conditions. METHODS The expression of LGR5 was evaluated in seven limbal epithelial crypts (LECs), collected from healthy cadaver donors, and five ...
