A new pseudopolymorph of berberine, 9,10-dimeth-oxy-5,6-di-hydro-2-7λ-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-]iso-quinolino-[3,2-]isoquinolin-7-ylium chloride methanol monosolvate, CHNO ·Cl·CHOH, was obtained during co-crystallization of berberine chloride with malonic acid from methanol. The berberine cations form dimers, which are further packed in stacks. The title structure was compared with other reported solvates of berberine chloride: its dihydrate, tetra-hydrate, and ethanol solvate hemihydrate. Hirshfeld analysis was performed to show the inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal structure of the title compound, and its fingerprint plots were compared with those of the already studied solvates.

The fluorescence quantum yield of berberine in aqueous solution is significantly smaller than those of organic solution. The time profile of fluorescence intensity of berberine was analyzed by a bi-exponential function, showing that two kinds of states of berberine exist in the solutions. The observed fluorescence lifetime of shorter lifetime species of berberine in water (0.

The determination of isoquinoline alkaloids (IQAs) is crucial for maximizing the pharmacological benefits of Rhizoma coptidis (RC). In this study, the dendritic silica sphere (dSiO) was covalently modified with cyanuric chloride (CNCl) to synthesize a porous dNSiO-CNCl NP. The fluorescence of berberine (Ber), palmatine (Pal), coptisine (Cop), and jatrorrhizine (Jat) was remarkably enhanced by dNSiO-CNCl NP for at least 38-fold, inspiring the accurate determination of the isoquinoline total alkaloids (IQTAs) in RC using fluorometry.

Article Synopsis
  • - Yan Huanglian, derived from the plant Corydalis saxicola, shows various pharmacological effects and is being evaluated for its potential in ethnopharmacy.
  • - This study established a chromatographic fingerprint for 16 batches of CSB and employed a quantitative analysis of seven key components using a method that incorporates a single reference marker.
  • - The findings suggest that this approach of combining fingerprinting with quantitative analysis is effective for assessing the quality of CSB and could serve as a reference for quality control in traditional Chinese medicine.

Fibrous scaffolds capable of delivering natural drugs and herbs show great promise for tissue regeneration and wound care, particularly in personalized medicine. This study presents the fabrication and characterization of drug-eluting antibacterial core-shell mats composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and pectin nanofibers produced through coaxial electrospinning. Berberine chloride (BBR), an herbal compound with antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, antilipidemic, and antidiabetic properties, served as the model drug.

Electrospun nanofibers made from chitosan are promising materials for surgical wound dressings due to their non-toxicity and biocompatibility. However, the antibacterial activity of chitosan is limited by its poor water solubility under physiological conditions. This study addresses this issue by producing electrospun nanofibers mainly from natural compounds, including chitosan and quaternized chitosan, which enhance both its solubility for electrospinning and the antibacterial activity of the resulting electrospun nanofibers.
