Aim: To search for new derivatives of diclofenac (DC) having higher potency than the parent drug and lacking its undesirable effects.

Methods: Coupling DC with NO donor 3-hydroxymethyl-4-phenylfuroxan and its isomer through esterification, evaluating anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities, observing side effects in the rat gastrointestinal (GI) tract and assessing NO releasing ability both in vitro and in vivo.

Results: Fifteen new compounds including nine target ones (II1-9) were synthesized, and their structures were determined by IR, 1HNMR, MS and elemental analysis. Compounds II3 and II9 showed anti-inflammatory activity comparable to DC. Compound II2 showed stronger anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities and less GI side effect than DC, and released NO in vivo.

Conclusion: Compound II2 is worthy to be intensively studied.

Background: Preeclampsia significantly impacts maternal and perinatal health. Early screening using advanced models and primary prevention with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid for high-risk populations is crucial to reduce the disease's incidence. This study assesses the feasibility of implementing preterm preeclampsia screening and prevention by leveraging information from our current aneuploidy screening program in a real-world setting with geographic separation clinical site and laboratory analysis site.

This study evaluated the impact of aspirin on the biochemical recurrence (BCR) rate following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients. A database search identified patients who underwent RARP for pT2-3N0M0 disease at any of 25 centers between 2011 and 2022, categorized into aspirin (n = 350) and control groups (n = 5857). Adjustment by 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) and Mahalanobis distance matching (MDM) created 350 matched pairs.

Kaurane-class diterpenoid alkaloids (DAs), an important group of C20-DAs, include mainly veatchine-, napelline-, anopterine- and tricalysiamide-type DAs and several types of DAs with novel skeletons discovered in recent years. To date, approximately 81 compounds belonging to this class of DAs have been isolated from plants in 5 families and 7 genera. Among them, Aconitum is the most important source of this class of DAs.

Water is a fundamental component of life, playing a critical role in regulating metabolic processes and facilitating the dissolution and transport of essential molecules. However, emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, pose significant challenges to water quality and safety. Nanomaterial-based technologies emerge as a promising solution for removing those contaminants from water.

Aim: To develop good practice recommendations (GPR) for the therapeutic management of patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA), including psoriatic arthritis.

Methods: Following standardised procedures, a systematic review of the literature was carried out on non-pharmacological and non-biological pharmacological treatments for SpA. The review was based on questions defined by a working group of 15 rheumatologists.
