Coptis chinensis is a widely used traditional Chinese herbal medicine. In this work, 6 new alkaloids (coptisine A-F, 1-6) and 26 known alkaloids (7-32) were isolated from the chloroform extract of the rhizomes of C. chinensis. Compounds 1-3 are α-carbonylated benzylisoquinolines, and 4-6 are berberidic acid type alkaloids. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR and MS analyses. Seven compounds (7, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 29) exhibited significant AChE inhibitory activities at 10 μM (inhibition rates >80%).

It is believed that inflammation influences several physiological processes, including the function of the central nervous system. Moreover, the impairment of lipid mechanisms/pathways is associated with neurodegenerative disorders and onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a chronic neurodegenerative disease representing the major cause of dementia worldwide.

Background: Pain and disability are primary concerns for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) patients, and the efficacy of current treatments remains controversial. Overactive osteoclasts are associated with subchondral bone degeneration and pain in OA. The vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is crucial for differentiation and function in osteoclasts, but its role in TMJOA is not well defined.

Purpose Of Review: Baclofen, a muscle relaxant that reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters in the pre-synaptic neurons stimulating inhibitory neuronal signals in post-synaptic neurons, has been around for over 5 decades. Baclofen is used primarily for spasticity and since 1982, has had a role as an intrathecal agent. In the present investigation, we review research trends and updates on safety and efficacy of intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pumps.

In this study, new cinnamic acid linked to triazole acetamide derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for anti-Alzheimer and anti-melanogenesis activities. The structural elucidation of all analogs was performed using different analytical techniques, including H-NMR, C-NMR, mass spectrometry, and IR spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds were assessed in vitro for their inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and tyrosinase enzymes.

Pain and inflammation are common symptoms of a majority of the diseases. Chronic pain and inflammation, as well as related dreadful disorders, remain difficult to control due to a lack of safe and effective medications. In this work, biocompatible platinum nanoparticles with significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory action were synthesized through a wet chemical method using polyethylene glycol-400 as a capping agent and sodium borohydride as a reducing agent.
