Enrofloxacin (ENRO) is a poorly soluble drug used in veterinary medicine. It differs from the more widely used fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin (CIP) by the presence of an ethyl substituent on its piperazine amino group. While a number of recent studies have

Effective therapeutic delivery of peptide and protein drugs is challenged by short in vivo half-lives due to rapid degradation. Sustained release formulations of αCT1, a 25 amino acid peptide drug, would afford lower dosing frequency in indications that require long

The white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor degraded trichloroethylene (TCE), a highly oxidized chloroethene, and produced 2,2,2-trichloroethanol and carbon dioxide as the main products of degradation, based on the results obtained using [13C]-TCE as the substrate. For a range of concentrations of
