Abstract Although atovaquone is effective in treating and preventing Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), it’s use is limited by nonlinear absorption and adverse events. The current study was undertaken to examine the activity of encochleated atovaquone (eATQ), a novel lipid-crystal nanoparticle formulation, in a mouse model of PCP. eATQ 100 to 200 mg was superior to commercially available atovaquone at 14 days in decreasing total Pneumocystis nuclei and asci. eATQ plus anidulafungin reduced nuclei significantly better than commercial atovaquone plus anidulafungin. eATQ is a novel formulation of atovaquone that warrants further evaluation for treatment and prevention of PCP.

A recently discovered mouse model (‘mdx’) for muscular dystrophy in man may be of considerable interest, since the disease in ‘mdx’ mice is inherited by the same mode of inheritance (X-linked) as the human Duchenne (DMD) muscular dystrophy. Unlike DMD, which results in a situation in which the continual muscle destruction cannot keep up with abortive regenerative attempts of the musculature, and the sufferers of the disease die early, the disease in ‘mdx’ mice appears to be transient, and the mice do not die as a result of it. In fact, it has been reported that the severely damaged Tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of ‘mdx’ mice seem to display exceptionally good regenerative powers at 4-6 weeks, so much so, that these muscles are able to regenerate spontaneously up to their previous levels of physiological activity.
