Mill. has a long history of medicinal use in the annals of traditional Chinese medicine, wherein it has garnered considerable renown. Its multifaceted therapeutic properties, characterized by its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial attributes, alongside its established efficacy as a laxative agent, have been extensively documented. This review commences with an exploration of the nomenclature, fundamental characteristics, and principal constituents of Mill. responsible for its laxative effects. Subsequently, we delve into an extensive examination of the molecular mechanisms underlying Mill.'s laxative properties, types of constipation treatments, commercially available preparations, considerations pertaining to toxicity, and its clinical applications. This review aims to serve as a comprehensive reference point for healthcare professionals and researchers, fostering an enhanced understanding of the optimal utilization of Mill. in the treatment of constipation.

Highly asymmetric (3+3) annulation of diaziridines with oxiranes via C-N bond cleavage in diaziridine was achieved under 10 mol % of chiral copper(II) complex as the catalyst under mild reaction conditions. With Cu(OTf) as the Lewis acid and C-symmetric imidazolidine-pyrroloimidazolone pyridine as the ligand, diverse tetrahydro-[1,3,4]-oxadiazines were obtained by stereospecific C-N/C-O bond formation in moderate to good yields (up to 93% yield) and high diastereo- (>20:1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee). The catalytic cycle and stereochemical model were proposed by DFT calculation.

Background: Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), commonly occurring in postpartum women, is not only an aesthetic issue but is also highly associated with functional impairments. Various conservative treatment modalities have been employed in clinical practice to alleviate DRA. However, the comparative efficacy of these non-surgical treatments for improving the inter-recti distance (IRD) remains to be determined.
