Phenyllactic Acid: Antimicrobial Activity against Vaginal Microbiota and Cytotoxic Properties on Human Cervical Epithelial Cells
Researchers at the University of Arizona investigated the antimicrobial properties of Phenyllactic Acid (PLA) derivatives against both commensal and Bacterial vaginosis (BV)-associated bacteria, as well as their cytotoxic effects on human cervical epithelial cells. PLA is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound produced by vaginal Lactobacillus species;...

Biocompatible Ionic Liquids for Improving Delivery of Therapeutic Agents
This invention relates to three types of ionic liquids (ILs) that will improve the delivery of a diverse array of therapeutic agents. The first type of ILs consists of a drug as either cation or anion and a biocompatible counterion to improve the aqueous or lipid solubility and permeability of drugs and to facilitate the incorporation of these ILs into...
