Introduction: The aim of this work was to prepare a selective nuclear medicine imaging probe for the Endothelin 1 receptor A in the brain.
Material And Methods: Ferulic acid (an ETRA antagonist) was radiolabeled using I by direct electrophilic substitution method. The radiolabeled ferulic acid was formulated as polymeric micelles to allow intranasal brain delivery. Biodistribution was studied in Swiss albino mice by comparing brain uptake of I-ferulic acid after IN administration of I-ferulic acid polymeric micelles, IN administration of I-ferulic acid solution and IV administration of I-ferulic acid solution.
Results: Successful radiolabeling was achieved with an RCY of 98 % using 200 μg of ferulic acid and 60 μg of CAT as oxidizing agents at pH 6, room temperature and 30 min reaction time. I-ferulic acid polymeric micelles were successfully formulated with the particle size of 21.63 nm and polydispersity index of 0.168. Radioactivity uptake in the brain and brain/blood uptake ratio for I.N I-ferulic acid polymeric micelles were greater than the two other routes at all periods.
Conclusion: Our results provide I-ferulic acid polymeric micelles as a hopeful nuclear medicine tracer for ETRA brain receptor.

Background: Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) is a pathological condition associated with a variety of cerebrovascular diseases. Shunaoxin pills (SNX) are a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used to improve blood circulation. However, its multicomponent and multitarget features make it difficult to decipher the molecular mechanisms.

Xian-Xiong-Gu-Kang is composed of Epimedium brevicornu, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Radix clematidis, Cinnamomum cassia, and Fructus xanthii. It is used to treat numbness and pain of limbs. In this study, we developed a method to simultaneously quantify 11 components of Xian-Xiong-Gu-Kang (icarrin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, icariside II, chlorogenic acid, ligustilide, senkyunolide A, senkyunolide I, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid) in rat plasma using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry.

Ethnopharmacological Significance: Icariin (I), ferulic acid (F) and timosaponin B II (T) derived respectively from the leaf of Epimedium brevicornu Maxim (EBM, Berberidaceae), rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge (AAB, Liliaceae) and root of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (ASD, Umbelliferae) are included in several traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas for the treatment of osteoporosis. In addition, the medicinal materials and chemical constituents in many traditional Chinese formulas have been shown to have potential synergistic, additive and antagonistic effects.
