Hence, the present work suggests the feasibility of using EOC-functionalized supports as filtering aids to enhance the microbial quality of liquid matrices with spore-forming microorganisms. PRACTICAL APPLICATION The developed antimicrobial-coated filters have shown remarkable removal properties against an important spore-forming bacterium in food industry. These filters may be used as a potential sterilization technique for preservation of different beverages alone or in combination with other mild-thermal or nonthermal techniques. The pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not fully clarified, although excessive glutamate (Glu) transmission and the downstream cytotoxic cascades are major mechanisms for motor neuron death. Two metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu and mGlu ) are overexpressed in ALS and regulate cellular disease processes. Expression and function of mGlu receptors are altered at early symptomatic stages in the SOD1 mouse model of ALS and knockdown of mGlu5 receptors in SOD1 mice improved disease progression. We treated male and female SOD1 mice with 2-chloro-4-((2,5-dimethyl-1-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethynyl)pyridine (CTEP), an orally available mGlu receptor negative allosteric modulator (NAM), using doses of 2 mg·kg per 48 h or 4 mg·kg per 24 h from Day 90, an early symptomatic disease stage. Disease progression was studied by behavioural and histological approaches. CTEP dose-dependently ameliorated clinical features in SOD1 mice. The lower dose increased survival and improved motor skills in female mice, with barely positive effects in male mice. Higher doses significantly ameliorated disease symptoms and survival in both males and females, females being more responsive. CTEP also reduced motor neuron death, astrocyte and microglia activation, and abnormal glutamate release in the spinal cord, w
