The use of labile As-S bond formation in the self-assembly of discrete supramolecular structures is extended. Macrocyclic structures of chemical formula As2L2Cl2 (H2L=alpha,alpha'-dimercapto-p-xylene) were prepared and characterized. Diastereomeric syn and anti isomers of these macrocycles were selectively crystallized and characterized in the solid state using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both the syn and anti macrocycles show close contacts between the arsenic(III) ions and the aromatic carbons, consistent with intramolecular arsenic-pi interactions. The dynamic behavior of the isomers in solution is also investigated. anti-As2L2Cl2.AsCl3 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (No. 14) with a=10.6194(5) A, b=16.7780(9) A, c=8.5725(4) A, beta=100.6830(10) degrees, and Z=2. syn-As2L2Cl2 crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62) with a=10.8881(8) A, b=19.3511(14) A, c=9.9524(7) A, and Z=4.

Cicadae Periostracum (CP) is a traditional Chinese animal-derived medicine with the potential to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aims to explore the pharmacodynamic mechanisms of CP against PD-based on metabolomics technology and provide a theoretical basis for developing new anti-PD medicine. First, MPP-induced SH-SY5Y cells were used to evaluate the anti-PD activity of CP.

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is overexpressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and suppresses the anti-tumour immune response. Previous studies have shown that adding anti-VEGF treatment to PD-1 inhibition treatment strategies improves tumour response. We aimed to compare the efficacy of pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, with or without bevacizumab, a VEGF inhibitor, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Currently, the clinical drugs for Parkinson's disease (PD) only focus on motor symptoms, while non-motor symptoms like depression are usually neglected. Even though, the efficacy of existing neurotherapeutic drugs is extremely poor which is due to the blood brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, a biomimetic polydopamine carbon dots (PDA C-dots) at 2-4 nm was synthesized, while exosomes from macrophages were applied to encapsulate PDA C-dots for improving their BBB-crossing ability and inflammation-targeting effect.
