Dry ethyl acetate extract containing flavonoids was obtained from above-ground parts of Astragalus corniculatus Bieb. Seven flavonoids were isolated and identified as rutin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, narcissin, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin for the first time. The extract was found to be practically non-toxic (acute oral toxicity > 5 g kg(-1) in mice). The extract was investigated for antihypoxic activity in two models of experimental hypoxia--haemic and circulatory. Antihypoxic activity was especially pronounced in the model of circulatory hypoxia. This effect may be attributed, at least in part, to the presence of flavonoids in the extract.

At present, some progress has been made in developing NIR light-responsive free radical generators. However, the efficacy of theranostics continues to be hindered by tumor-associated inflammatory reactions. Hence, fulfilling the in situ release of free radicals upon NIR light excitation specifically activated by the inflammation microenvironment would be an ideal strategy for efficient inflammation eradication and tumor suppression but remains a challenge.

Dazhu Hongjingtian (DZ) is renowned for its diverse pharmacological activities, yet its metabolic pathways remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, the metabolic profile after oral administration of DZ extract (DZE) in rats was systematically identified by the UPLC/Q-TOF-MS/MS method for the first time. A total of 94 components, including 32 prototypes and 62 metabolites, were tentatively characterized in rat plasma and various tissues samples.

Cardiac inflammation, a pathological cornerstone in cardiac dysfunction, triggers diastolic impairment, leading to profound myocardial hypoxia. This hypoxic state serves as a potent stimulus for the amplification of inflammatory mediator release, ultimately limiting the therapeutic potential of monotherapies. To address this challenge, compounds that integrate non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with nitric oxide (NO) donors was synthesized.

Many studies have focused on the effects of small molecules, such as amino acids, on metabolism under hypoxia. Recent findings have indicated that phenylalanine levels were markedly elevated in adaptation to chronic hypoxia. This raises the possibility that phenylalanine treatment could markedly improve the hypoxic endurance.

In the current study, a core-shell inorganic nanostructure comprising a gold nanorod core and -mesoporous manganese dioxide shell was synthesized. Then, the mesoporous manganese dioxide shell was loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and then coated with pluronic F127 and pluronic F127-folic acid conjugate (1.5:1 wt ratio of pluronic F127: pluronic F127-folic acid conjugate) to prepare targeted final platform.
