The acid-base equilibria of tetracycline and its copper(II) complex formation equilibria are investigated in dioxane-water mixtures. The ternary complexes of copper(II) with tetracycline as primary ligand and amino acid or DNA constituent as secondary ligand are studied in 50% dioxane-water solution. The formation constants of the ternary and binary complexes with amino acids or DNA constituents are determined. The concentration distribution of the various complex species are evaluated. Probable mode of chelation with tetracycline and DNA constituents is discussed.

Ginkgolide B (GB) is a bioactive constituent found in Ginkgo biloba leaves that has been long recognized as a protective agent against many neurological disorders. Our study aimed to examine the effect of GB in an in vitro Parkinson's disease (PD) model and to investigate its neuroprotective mechanism as a primary objective. SK-N-SH cells were challenged with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP) to act as a PD-like model of neuronal damage.

Background: is a commensal bacterium and an early biofilm coloniser found in the human oral cavity. One of the biofilm matrix constituents is bacterial extracellular DNA (eDNA). Neutrophils are innate immune cells that respond to biofilms, employing antimicrobial mechanisms such as neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) release.

Botanicals have long been used to promote health and treat diseases, but the safety of many currently marketed botanicals has not been adequately evaluated. Given the chemical complexity of botanicals, which often contain numerous unknown constituents, and their widespread use, comprehensive toxicity assessments are needed. The Botanical Safety Consortium was established to address this challenge.
