Rhein against by interfering with respiratory metabolism and inducing oxidative stress.

Currently, dairy mastitis caused by poses a serious challenge for dairy farming. In this study, we explored the role and mechanism of rhein against with the hope of providing new research ideas to solve mastitis in dairy cows and ensure the source safety of dairy products. Through in vitro antimicrobial studies, we found that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of rhein was 64 μg/mL, and it significantly interfered with the formation of biofilm at sub-MIC.

Preparation, characterization, and Staphylococcus aureus biofilm elimination effect of baicalein-loaded tyrosine/hyaluronic acid/β-cyclodextrin-grafted chitosan nano-delivery system.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an important cause of infections associated with implanted medical devices due to the formation of bacterial biofilm, which can prevent the penetration of drugs, thus posing a serious multi-drug resistance. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of them.

Paclitaxel-Loaded TPGS/Gelatin-Grafted Cyclodextrin/Hyaluronic Acid-Grafted Cyclodextrin Nanoparticles for Oral Bioavailability and Targeting Enhancement.

The clinical applications of paclitaxel (PTX), a natural compound with broad-spectrum antitumor effects, have been markedly limited owing to its poor oral bioavailability and lack of targeting ability. Recently, several drug carriers, such as TPGS, gelatin (Gel), cyclodextrin (CD), and hyaluronic acid (HA), have been identified as promising enhancers of drug efficacy. Therefore, Gel-grafted CD (GEL-CD) and HA-grafted CD (HA-CD) were synthesized via grafting, and PTX-loaded TPGS/GEL-CD/HA-CD nanoparticles (TGHC-PTX-NPs) were successfully prepared using the ultrasonic crushing method.
