Objective: Xuebijing injection (XBJ) is a commonly used herbal medicine injection in China. However, the physical compatibility of XBJ with other intravenous drugs remains unclear. The purpose of this research is to evaluate physical compatibility of Xuebijing injection (XBJ) with 53 intravenous drugs (including 31 Chinese medicine injections and 22 chemicals) during simulated Y-site administration.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer is a big health issue for women, and a gene called MEG3 is important in understanding it better.
  • Researchers found that a chemical change (called hypermethylation) reduces MEG3's activity, which can lead to more cancer cell growth.
  • By using a special treatment to block this change, they found that MEG3 could be boosted again, slowing down cancer growth in cells and even in mice.

N6-methyladenosine (mA) RNA methylation has been considered the most prevalent, abundant, and conserved internal transcriptional modification throughout the eukaryotic mRNAs. Typically, mA RNA methylation is catalyzed by the RNA methyltransferases (writers), is removed by its demethylases (erasers), and interacts with mA-binding proteins (readers). Accumulating evidence shows that abnormal changes in the mA levels of these regulators are increasingly associated with human tumorigenesis and drug resistance.

Hesperetin has been known to exert several activities such as anti-oxidant, antitumor and anti-inflammatory. To find hesperetin derivatives showing better activity, sixteen novel hesperetin derivatives were designed and synthesized. The new obtained compounds were investigated for their anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and production of nitric oxide (NO) in mouse RAW264.

A flavonoid hesperetin is reported to have a variety of biological activities, including anticancer, antiviral, antioxidant, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. Thirty-one novel hesperetin derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using RAW264.7 cells and CCl4-induced acute liver injury model.

In this study we designed and synthesized a series of new hesperetin derivatives on the basis of the structural characteristics of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) dual-site inhibitors. The activity of the novel derivatives was also evaluated. Results showed that the synthesized hesperetin derivatives displayed stronger inhibitory activity against AChE and higher selectivity than butyrylcholine esterase (BuChE) (selectivity index values from 68 to 305).
