pH-triggered small molecule nano-prodrugs emulsified from tryptamine-cinnamaldehyde twin drug for targeted synergistic glioma therapy.

Chemotherapy fails to achieve an ideal gliomas therapy due to the limited delivery of chemotherapeutics across the blood brain barrier (BBB), difficult accumulation of drugs in the gliomas area, and off-target toxicity. Herein, the pH-triggered small molecule nano-prodrugs (Try-CA-NPs) emulsified from hydrophobic tryptamine (Try)-cinnamaldehyde (CA) twin drug were successfully prepared through a facile method. Try-CA-NPs exhibited long-term storage and circulation stability.

[Study on determining the content of all kinds of composition in the natural rock by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy].

The infrared reflectance spectroscopy from the sample simulating natural-rock prepared by kaolin, muscovite and montmorillonite mixed-powders was obtained by a spectrometer. Spectral data preprocessing was done using SNV. Random forest mathematical modeling was used for predicting the components of rock samples.
