A series of binary powder blends comprising of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH101), alpha-lactose monohydrate or theophylline anhydrous were prepared in order to investigate the densification of binary pharmaceutical powder mixes under compaction pressure. It is postulated that the use of derived energy parameters, as well as various evolved indices, calculated from the work expended during the fabrication and/or rupture of a compact can be employed to quantitatively predict the compaction properties of pharmaceutical powder mixes comprised of the same constituents. The relationship between the net work of compression normalized to powder volume and the resulting compact strength for mix constituents can be used to define a pharmaceutical formulation space in which compact mechanical properties can be estimated for other 'virtual mixes' of the same constituents in different proportions. The approach is successfully applied to the prediction of the mechanical properties of a ternary mix of these constituents.

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are important energy sources and significant for energy transport in the body. They also play a crucial role in cellular oxidative stress responses, following cell membrane depolarization, making accurate quantification of FFAs essential. This study presents a novel supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) method using selected ion recording in negative electrospray ionization mode, enabling rapid quantification of 31 FFAs within 6 min without derivatization.

Background: Amongst all neoplastic diseases, breast cancer represents a major cause of death among the female population in developed and developing countries. Since alkaloid drugs are commonly used in chemotherapy to manage this disease, this study investigated the anti-proliferative effectiveness of alkaloid-rich fractions of Senna didymobotrya leaves only and with laser irradiation against MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Method And Materials: A powdered sample of the plant leaves was extracted with 50% ethanol, filtered and their pH was adjusted with acid and base solution followed by partitioning with chloroform and ethyl acetate solvents.
Ganoderma lucidum spore oil attenuates acute liver injury by modulating lipid metabolism and gut microbiota.

The incidence of acute liver injury is increasing and poses a significant threat to human health. Ganoderma lucidum spore oil (GLSO), a lipid substance extracted from Ganoderma lucidum spore powder using supercritical CO technology, has been investigated for its potential to prevent acute liver injury. However, the specific mechanism underlying the protective effects of GLSO remains incompletely understood.
