    Author : Anneli Nordqvist; Anders Karlén; Mats Larhed; Anders Hallberg; Anna Linusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tuberculosis; Glutamine synthetase; Imidazo[1; 2-a]pyridine analogues; Focused hierarchical design of experiments; DXR; Fosmidomycin analogues; 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase; Cinnamaldehydes; Oxidative Heck reaction; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Läkemedelskemi; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Abstract : Since the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) as the bacterial agent causing tuberculosis, the permanent eradication of this disease has proven challenging. Although a number of drugs exist for the treatment of tuberculosis, 1.7 million people still die every year from this infection. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tuberculosis : diagnosis and drug susceptibility testing where resources are scarce

    Author : Kristian Ängeby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tuberculosis; diagnosis; microscopy; drug susceptibility testing; low-income countries;

    Abstract : Background: Tuberculosis remains a major global public health problem. Not surprisingly, most cases of this disease occur in poor countries and an increasing number of patients harbor drug - resistant bacteria. The cornerstone of bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculosis is direct sputum smear microscopy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanism-based modeling of biological processes involved in oral absorption

    Author : Benjamin Guiastrennec; Mats O. Karlsson; Martin Bergstrand; Jörg Lippert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; absorption; bile acids; enterohepatic circulation; food effect; gallbladder; in vitro in vivo correlation; NONMEM; pediatrics; pharmacometrics; tuberculosis; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

    Abstract : For orally administered drugs, the rate and extent of absorption are governed by the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, the characteristics of the dosage form and the physico-chemical properties of the drug. This thesis primarily aimed to improve the mechanistic understanding and the predictability of processes involved in the absorption of orally administered drugs using a population modeling approach.
