Drug-induced cholestasis (DIC) is a leading cause of drug-induced liver injury post-drug marketing, characterized by bile flow obstruction and toxic bile constituent accumulation within hepatocytes. This study investigates the toxicity associated with intracellular bile acid (BA) accumulation during DIC development. Using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, we examined intracellular BA concentrations in human precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) following the administration of cyclosporin A and chlorpromazine, both with and without an established BA mixture.

The NorA and TetK efflux pumps mediate resistance to fluoroquinolone and tetracycline antibiotics by actively extruding these compounds and reducing their intracellular concentrations. Consequently, intense research has focused on inhibiting these efflux mechanisms using antimicrobial agents derived from natural or synthetic sources. This study used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) to analyze the various functional groups present in p-coumaric acid.

Background: Previous evidence suggests that immune-inflammatory dysfunction plays an important role in metabolic disorder (MD) of patients with schizophrenia, yet studies on sex differences in the association between both are limited. The current study aimed to investigate sex differences in the association between MD and inflammatory cytokines in Han Chinese patients with chronic schizophrenia (CS).
Methods: This multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted in one general hospital and two psychiatric hospitals in Anhui Province, China.

Chlorpromazine (CPZ) is an abused sedative that is extensively metabolized in organisms. However, the metabolic pathway of CPZ in aquatic organisms is still unclear. In this study, CPZ metabolites was analyzed in grass carp exposed to CPZ in the raising water using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS).

Ferulic acid (FA) is a natural phenolic compound that has been documented for its antioxidant properties and potential in managing hypertension. However, its use is limited due to poor solubility and permeability (BCS Class IV classification). To overcome this, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) of FA were developed using the emulsification probe sonication technique, with formulation optimized through Box-Behnken design.
