    Abstract: Embodiments of the presently-disclosed subject matter include activators of HssRS that induce endogenous heme biosynthesis by perturbing central metabolism. These molecules are toxic to fermenting S. aureus, including clinically relevant small colony variants (SCVs). The utility of targeting fermenting bacteria is exemplified by the fact that this compound prevents the emergence of antibiotic resistance, enhances phagocyte killing, and reduces S. aureus pathogenesis. This small molecule is a powerful tool not only for studying bacterial heme biosynthesis and central metabolism, but also establishes targeting of fermentation as a viable antibacterial strategy.

  • Publication number: 20170246162
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid pharmaceutical dosage form for abusable drug delivery with reduced illicit abuse potential. The dosage form is presented as a bioerodable transmucosal delivery device that includes an abusable drug and an antagonist to the abusable drug associated with an abuse-resistant matrix. The devices of the invention may be in the form of a layered film or a tablet. Upon application in a non-abusive manner, the device adheres to the mucosal surface, providing transmucosal drug delivery of the drug with minimal absorption of the antagonist into systemic circulation.
