In this study, we studied the solubility and permeability of matrine, oxymatrine, sophoridine, and oxysophocarpine, four alkaloids in the Mongolian herbal medicine Sophorae Flavescentis Radix, and evaluated the absorption mechanism with the Caco-2 cell model, so as to provide a basis for the new drug development and efficacy evaluation of Sophorae Flavescentis Radix. The results showed that all the four alkaloids had high solubility and high permeability and can be well absorbed, belonging to the class-I drugs of Biopharmaceutical Classification System(BCS). The absorption(AP→BL) and excretion(BL→AP) of matrine and oxymatrine were not affected by the concentration while the absorption depended on P-gp protein. The absorption(AP→BL) and excretion(BL→AP) of sophoridine and oxysophocarpine were positively related to the concentration and time, and the absorption process was independent from P-gp protein. The results provide scientific reference and an experimental basis for the development of Mongolian medical prescriptions containing Sophorae Flavescentis Radix.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on discovering new treatments for lung cancer that has spread to bones, emphasizing the importance of using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
- Active compounds from TCM were identified, leading to the detection of 227 target genes and 952 differentially expressed genes related to bone metastasis in lung cancer.
- The research identified a specific gene that correlates with patient survival, highlighting potential therapeutic targets and mechanisms for tackling lung cancer bone metastasis.
A label-free fluorescence method based on malachite green/aptamer was developed for the detection of ochratoxin A(OTA) in traditional Chinese medicines. Malachite green itself exhibits weak fluorescence. Upon interaction with the aptamer specific to OTA, the G-quadruplex structure of the aptamer provides a protective microenvironment for malachite green, which significantly enhances its fluorescence signal.

Background: Repairing the intestinal mucosal barrier and reducing persistent inflammation is the key strategies for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Zhilining Formula (ZLN), composed of Andrographis herba (AH), Sophorae flavescentis radix (SFA), and Aucklandia radix (AR), is a well-tried formula for the clinical treatment of enteritis and dysentery in China, and its mechanism has not been clarified.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of ZLN on UC and elucidate its underlying mechanism via metabolomics analysis and experimental verification.

Inflammation-induced osteoclast proliferation is a crucial contributor to impaired bone metabolism. Kurarinone (KR), a flavonoid extracted from the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, exhibits notable anti-inflammatory properties. Nevertheless, the precise influence of KR on osteoclast formation remains unclear.
