Abstract In pharmaceutical synthesis, heavy metal catalysts are commonly used, and their residues often remain in the final product. These heavy metals—primarily from catalyst residues—not only affect drug efficacy but also pose serious health risks to patients. As a result, pharmacopoeias in various countries impose ...
l Composite Materials Combining HA with polymers like polylactic acid (PLA) or metals such as titanium has resulted in materials with enhanced mechanical properties and biodegradability. ...

Red blood cell membrane bionic nanosystems can be applied to heavy metal detoxification therapy as well as anti-tumor therapy. Leukocyte Membrane in Bionic Nanomedicine Leukocytes are blood cells responsible for repairing tissue damage, fighting off invaders, etc. ...
The main considerations include optical chirality, polymorphism, impurities (product-related, process-related, free drugs and related substances, residual solvents, heavy metals), biological activity (target specific binding, affinity, effector function) and potency. ...
By predicting and annotating all genes in the genome, they aim to identify genes associated with various phenotypes, including drug resistance, heavy metal resistance, and environmental adaptability. Importance of Validating Drug Resistance Genes While drug resistance genes identified through plasmid sequencing may show resistance in heterologous hosts, it is ...
Some environmental microorganisms can adapt to special environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, acid, alkali, heavy metal, and high substrate concentration. Microbial whole genome sequencing allows people to know about the secrets of these microorganisms' adaptation to extreme environments, and provides a lot of assistance in ...
The enzyme activity can be inhibited by heavy metal ions, hydroxylamine, cyanide, carbonyl reagents such as aminourea, and sulfhydryl compounds. ...
Researchers also believe that there is a link between some types of cardiomyopathy and excessive exposure to certain toxins and/or drugs, such as alcohol, heavy metals and chemotherapy drugs. Symptoms and Diagnosis Unfortunately, pediatric cardiomyopathy often goes undetected until the late stages of the disease when heart failure symptoms appear. ...
Overview of pharmaceutical sludge: Pharmaceutical wastewater is a type of organic wastewater with complex components, high biological toxicity, and difficult-to-degrade substances. It is a recognized source of serious environmental pollution. Pharmaceutical wastewater is discharged intermittently, and the water quality and volume fluctuate greatly. Pharmaceutical sludge refers to the ...
A new state-of-the-art automated manufacturing system is enabling Porvair Sciences to produce ultra-pure porous plastics that are fully compliant with FDA, USP Class VI and European Pharmacopoeia statutory regulations as well as being free from heavy metals. Kevin Doolan, General Manager of Porvair Sciences said, "Over the last 18 months we have invested ...
But seaweed as source contains a very small amount (about 0.01%) of fucoxanthin and its cultivation is often conducted in a non-controlled environment, allowing exposure to heavy metals and other contaminants. The seaweed-derived process is not considered sustainable or efficient, which also increases costs significantly. ...

Moreover, toxicological studies have highlighted the potential health concerns of ENDS by revealing detectable levels of both heavy metals and carbonyls, such as formaldehyde and acrolein, in the vapor produced by some of the devices (9–11). ...
Moreover, supply of seaweed has always been limited, relying on the harvest seasons and subject to issues with heavy metals and other contamination accumulated from ocean ...

Results found that drinking water was contaminated with glyphosate and heavy metals, and that these compounds were making their way to workers kidneys. Evidence shows that glyphosate bonds with heavy metals like arsenic and cadmium, forming stable compounds in water that do not break down until reaching the kidneys. ...
In this work, a novel bead adsorbent, polyvinyl alcohol–graphene oxide (PVA-GO) macroporous hydrogel bead was prepared as filter media for p-nitrophenol (PNP), dye methylene blue (MB), and heavy metal U(VI) removal from aqueous solution. Batch and fixed-bed column experiments were carried out to evaluate the adsorption capacities of PNP, MB, and U(VI) on this ...
Lead is one of the most widespread toxic heavy metals in the industrial region of Upper Silesia (Poland). Elevated blood Pb levels in children continue to be a matter of serious concern. ...
Tobacco can easily accumulate certain heavy metals in leaves and thus poses a potential threat to human health. ...
Parameters like total number of coelomocytes, riboflavin content in coelomocytes, expression of genes implied in metal homeostasis and detoxification mechanisms can be used as biomarkers in order to assess the impact of metals on Annelids. Defense biomarkers (detoxification gene expressions and coelomocyte parameters) were investigated in the ecotoxicologically important species Eisenia andrei ...
