Unlocking the secrets of doxepin hydrochloride's crystal structure: Insights from high-quality powder diffraction analysis.

Doxepin hydrochloride, a versatile pharmaceutical compound, has been the subject of extensive research aimed at elucidating its crystal structure and solid-state characteristics. In this manuscript, we explore the significance of high-quality powder diffraction data in unveiling the intricate details of doxepin hydrochloride's crystal lattice. By examining the refined atom coordinates, density functional theory (DFT) optimization, and intermolecular interactions, we gain valuable insights into its structural conformation.

Extraction, identification and antitumor activity in cell cultures of cubebin isolated from dry seeds Piper cubeba (Piperaceae).

The Pipercubeba, it is one spice, widely consumed in Europe, which has several bioactive molecules, between those a lignan named cubebin. Cubebin has several known biological activities, such as analgesic activity and anti-inflammatory, trypanocidal activity, leishmanicidal and antitumor activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antiproliferative activity "in vitro" cubebin in eight different human tumor cell lines.

Pharmacodynamic evaluation of L-carnitine and piracetam in muscle injury induced by the chronic use of simvastatin.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of L-carnitine and piracetam on the muscle injury induced by simvastatin in healthy male subjects during the therapy with oral doses of 10 mL of a solution containing L-carnitine 100 mg/mL + piracetam 80 mg/mL (test group) or placebo (control group) and 40 mg simvastatin once a day during 35 consecutive days. The effect of L-carnitine and piracetam in the reduction of myopathic symptomatology caused by exercise, as well as safety and tolerability were also evaluated.

Materials And Methods: This study was performed on two different occasions, of which 42 subjects were investigated on occasion 1 and 19 on occasion 2.
