Phospholipid bilayer interaction of olanzapine (OLZ), a thienobenzodiazepine derivative and an antipsychotic agent, has been studied with (13)C and (31)P solid-state NMR. A dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (60%)/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylserine (40%) bilayer (DPPC(60%)/POPS(40%)) with 50 wt.% H(2)O, with and without 10 mol% OLZ have been investigated. The results reveal that both the serine and the choline head groups are affected by OLZ interaction with the bilayer. The OLZ interaction with the serine and the choline head groups appears to be caused by electrostatic attraction to the serine head group carboxyl and repulsion of the choline head group positively charged nitrogen. (31)P MAS NMR experiments show the appearance of two new (31)P resonances both for the PS and the PC phosphorous in the presence of OLZ. Static (31)P NMR spectra demonstrate a decrease in chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) of the OLZ containing bilayer when in the liquid-crystalline phase and an increase in CSA when in the gel state.

Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic widely used in cancer therapy. However, its cytotoxic properties affect both cancerous and healthy cells. Combining doxorubicin with antioxidants such as ferulic acid reduces its side effects, while simultaneously enhancing therapeutic effectiveness.

Description: Cerebral lymphomatosis (CL) is a rare subtype of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). In CL, atypical lymphoid cells diffusely infiltrate the cerebral parenchyma without forming a discrete mass as seen with PCNSL. We report a case of a 66-year-old woman with diffuse CL and superimposed areas of PCNSL.

In this scientific work, a novel and green method for selective lipophilization of EVOO's bioactive phenolic alcohols (PAs), namely, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and its metabolite homovanillyl alcohol as fatty acid esters, is elucidated. The PAs have been employed as hydrogen bond donors in the formation of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) with choline chloride (ChCl). The fast and cheap esterification method by formation of choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents promotes the derivatization of PAs with various fatty acids as acylating agents in the absence of organic solvents and catalysts.

Background: The potential of Ultra-Ma, an ultrasonic head stimulator, for the supplementary treatment of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) was evaluated in patients with various symptoms under poor control by drug therapy.
Methods: Patients with DLB treated with choline esterase inhibitor or L-DOPA, either alone or in combination, and who met inclusion criteria were enrolled. Four weeks of placebo stimulation was followed by 8 weeks of active ultrasonic stimulation and a 4-week follow-up.
