Receptor chromatography is an efficient analytical technique that combines the high separation ability of chromatography with the high specificity of receptors for drug recognition. In addition, this technique offers the advantages of active recognition, online separation, and convenient multidimensional target tracking. This strategy allows target active ingredients in complex systems, such as traditional Chinese medicines, to be efficiently screened and accurately identified.

Metabolism generally transforms xenobiotics into more polar and hydrophilic products, facilitating their elimination from the body. Recently, a new metabolic pathway that transforms phenolic xenobiotics into more lipophilic and bioactive dimer products was discovered. To elucidate the role of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in mediating this cross-coupling metabolism, we used high-throughput screening to identify the metabolites generated from the coupling of 20 xenobiotics with four endogenous metabolites in liver microsomes.

In the last decades, the entomotoxicity of JBU and its derived peptides became an object of study, due mainly to the ubiquitous interaction of these compounds with different species of insects and their potential as natural insecticides. In this work, we investigated the neurotoxic effects of JBU in Nauphoeta cinerea cockroaches by dissecting pharmacologically the monoaminergic pathways involved. Selective pharmacological modulators for monoaminergic pathways in in vivo and ex vivo experimental models were employed.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 emerged in late 2019 and caused COVID-19. Patients treated with Zyesami were found to have a 3-fold decrease in respiratory failure and improved clinical outcomes. It was reported that Zyesami inhibits RNA replication of SARS-CoV-2, including several non-structural proteins essential in viral RNA replication.

Immobilized G protein-coupled receptor is a versatile tool to study ligand-receptor interactions. In this work, we synthesized the immobilized alpha 1A adrenergic receptor (α-AR), a GPCR subtype mediating smooth muscle contraction, through a site-selective covalent method that relies on the reaction between haloalkane dehalogenase tagged α-AR and macroporous silica gel coated with 6-chlorohexanoic acid. To investigate thermodynamic and extra-thermodynamic parameters for ligand binding, we utilized the covalently immobilized receptor as stationary phase to perform frontal analysis and injection-amount dependent analysis as well as compared with the random immobilization method.
