Objective: To construct a novel targeted drug delivery nanoprobe: iodine-131-arginine-glycine-aspartate-tyrosine-cysteine peptide-polyethylene glycol-fifth generation polyamide-amine-docetaxel (I-RGDyC-PEG-PAMAM-DTX) and to investigate its physicochemical properties and biological activity.
Materials And Methods: Docetaxel was wrapped by solvent volatilization method, and the regression curve of DTX was constructed by high-performance liquid chromatography to determine its drug loading. The particle size of RGDyC-PEG-PAMAM-DTX was detected by dynamic light scattering.
tetrahydropalmatine (THP) is mainly metabolised by CYP450 enzymes.This study was to investigate the possible effect of co-administered CYP inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of THP and its metabolites in rats.An established LC-MS/MS method has been applied for the evaluation of drug-drug interaction between THP and CYP inhibitors.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been demonstrated to exhibit neuroprotective functions in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the underlying mechanisms in this process and its contribution to the protection function remain unknown.
