Donepezil hydrochloride fingerprint spectral and formation mechanism analysis.

Donepezil hydrochloride is a widely used medication for treating Alzheimer's disease. This study utilized terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to analyze the fingerprint spectra of donepezil hydrochloride, identifying five characteristic absorption peaks at 1.65, 2.

The supramolecular synthon behavior within cocrystals of pyrazinamide and alkyl dicarboxylic acids: A perspective from terahertz spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculation.

Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a widely-used anti-tuberculosis pharmaceutical, but its poor solubility prompts us to optimize pharmaceutical performance. Cocrystallization is a promising technique to improve physiochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) by connecting it with cocrystal former (CCF) via intermolecular interactions. Even though a series of alkyl dicarboxylic acids are employed to form cocrystal structures, systematic understanding on the role of intermolecular interactions is still missing.

Heat stress promotes lipid accumulation by inhibiting the AMPK-PGC-1α signaling pathway in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

Heat stress (HS) results in health problems in animals. This study was conducted to investigate the effect and the underlying mechanism of HS on the proliferation and differentiation process of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were treated at 37 °C or 41.
