Objective: To compare the influence on the dissolution of tanshinone IIA (TS IIA) solid dispersions in complex carriers and single, which used in preparation of TS IIA solid dispersions, and further enhance the dissolution of TS IIA.
Method: The TS IIA solid dispersions were prepared by solvent technique with polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVPK30), poloxamer188 (F68) and combination of PVPK30 and F68 as carriers, respectively. The physical characteristics of TS IIA solid dispersions was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Dissolution rates were studied using small cup method (CHP XC III). The solubility of TS IIA with the solid dispersions and pure drug form were determined by HPLC method.
Result: The DSC analysis suggested that TS IIA was dispersed as an amorphous form in the combination of PVPK30 and F68. Dissolution profile of the prepared solid dispersions could be described by Weibull equation (R>0.99). For tested three carries, Td value (calculated time to 63.2% of total drug release according to Weibull equation) were (90.40 +/- 2.82) min, (204.5 +/- 8.20) min and (25.83 +/- 0.13) min, respectively. The PVPK30/F68-TS IIA solid dispersion resulted in a significant increase of TS IIA solubility compared with prepared PVPK30-TS IIA and F68-TS IIA solid dispersions (P<0.01).
Conclusion: As compared to single use of PVPK30 or F68, the combination of PVPK30 and F68 improve the dissolution rate and solubility of TS IIA significantly in the prepared solid dispersions (P<0.01). The application of complex carriers in solid dispersion technology should be paid more attention to improvement of poorly soluble drugs dissolution in the future.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody (mAB) therapy affects the immune response in five cancer patients infected with the virus, comparing them to non-mAB-treated controls.
- - Blood samples were analyzed for various immune responses, revealing that all patients produced antibodies and T-cell responses similar to those of controls, despite some having B-cell deficiencies.
- - The findings indicate that mAB therapy results in a robust immune response against SARS-CoV-2 in cancer patients, showing the potential for effective protective immunity even with underlying malignancies.

Background: Taoren Honghua Decoction (THD) is a traditional Chinese formula known for enhancing blood circulation and demonstrating clinical efficacy in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the primary active components and the underlying mechanisms by which THD exerts its therapeutic effects on atherosclerosis (AS) remain insufficiently characterized.
Objective: This study aims to systematically validate the protective effects of THD on AS and elucidate its potential molecular mechanisms through an integrative approach involving network pharmacology, in vivo, and in vitro experiments.

The traditional method for natural products discovering could be time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus ligand fishing has attracted a lot of attention as a fast-screening method. Nevertheless, ligand fishing often relied on immobilized enzyme with solid carriers, which can be expensive and complicated to prepare. In this study, a carrier-free enzyme immobilization technology, cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs), was introduced by preparing carbonic anhydrase cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CA-CLEAs), aiming to develop a method for ligand fishing that is simpler, faster and more cost-effective.

Synthetic food antioxidants such as tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and propyl gallate (PG) have been extensively utilized in different food industries because of their high protectant activities to stop food spoilage and remove foodborne diseases in humans and animals. It would be emphasized that increasing the intake of antioxidants through intracellular may lead to cyto/genotoxicity, and their complex formation with biological molecules eventually accelerate the progress of various diseases like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, neurological disorders, cardiac vascular disease, cancer, etc. Therefore, their toxicity is one of the challenging subjects due to their extensive use in food-related industries.
