Acyl thiourea scaffolds are frequently employed in drug development to discern unique and essential therapies for the eradication of the most challenging diseases. Hence, we developed a library of novel cyclopropyl incorporating acyl thiourea derivatives (4a-j) and evaluated their antimicrobial, α-amylase, and proteinase K inhibition potential. Compound (4h) (4-methoxy) demonstrated the strongest α-amylase inhibition (IC = 1.

Introduction: Rhein, a natural bioactive lipophilic compound with numerous pharmacological activities, faces limitations in clinical application due to poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability. Thus, this study aimed to develop a rhein-loaded self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (RL-SNEDDS) to improve solubility and bioavailability.

Methods: The RL-SNEDDS was prepared by aqueous titration method with eucalyptus oil (oil phase), tween 80 (surfactant), and PEG 400 (co-surfactant) and optimization was performed by 3 factorial design.

Withanone (WN), a bioactive phytochemical isolated from the medicinal herb Withania somnifera, has shown multiple pharmacological and therapeutic successes, including neuroprotective and anti-cancer activities. However, detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of pure WN were not well defined. Pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics, dose proportionality, and absolute bioavailability of pure WN were explored in rats using an efficient, reliable, and sensitive LC-MS/MS assay to address this gap.
