Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese patent medicine have been widely applied for cancer care in China. Rupestonic acid, an active ingredient of L., has recently been confirmed to have certain anti-tumor effects . In this study, we employed the application of a commonly devoted triphenylamine as a fluorophore and the addition of 2,4-thiazolidinedione as a bridge to integrate rupestonic acid into the AIE system to create an fluorescent probe with anti-tumor properties. The spectral, cytotoxic, and cellular imaging properties of the probe were measured. Its promising responses make possible the application of the probe in antitumor theragnostic systems.

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is not only the biomarker of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and expression activity in hepatocytes, but it also contributes to viral specific T cell exhaustion and HBV persistent infection. Therefore, anti-HBV therapies targeting HBsAg to achieve HBsAg loss are key approaches for an HBV functional cure. In this study, we found that YZH-106, a rupestonic acid derivative, inhibited HBsAg secretion and viral replication.

Background: Influenza virus is a kind of RNA virus. Nowadays, the high incidence of influenza and the morbidity and mortality of epidemic influenza are substantial. It has been reported that one hundred million people in the world are infected with influenza viruses, and two hundred and fifty thousand to five hundred thousand people die from the flu per year.

Given the limitations of existing antiviral drugs and vaccines, there is still an urgent need for new anti-influenza drugs. CAM106, a rupestonic acid derivative, was studied for its potent antiviral activity and showed a favorable inhibitory effect on influenza virus replication. However, many gaps exist in preclinical studies of CAM106.
