Objectives: During the past few decades, various compounds have been researched for their potential as radioprotectants, and many of them were found to be safe and effective in several preclinical models. However, many of these compounds were found to have serious adverse effects when evaluated in clinical settings, thereby making them unsuitable for human applications. 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and S-(2-aminoethyl) isothiouronium bromide hydrobromide (AET) act in a synergistic fashion to promote radioprotection. The present study primarily emphasizes the safety of fixed dose of 5-HTP + AET in the lungs of C57BL/6 mice, a well-known model used in drug safety studies.
Materials And Methods: Post-administration of the combination of HTP+AET at specific time points, blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected for the analysis of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers of the lungs. Thereafter, the mice were sacrificed and the lungs were dissected out, weighed, and fixed in formalin for histopathological studies.
Results: The inflammatory biomarkers: tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-10 and oxidative stress biomarkers: 8-isoprostane and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine were found to have normal levels in blood and BALF in both control and treatment groups, which was further supported by normal histological findings. In addition, other endpoints such as food and water intake were found to be within normal limits.
Conclusion: The present safety study reflects that the combination has no adverse effects on the lungs of the experimental mouse. Further, evaluation in higher mammals including nonhuman primates is essential prior to validation of the safety of the combination in humans.

Ipratropium bromide (IPR) and fenoterol hydrobromide (FEN) have recently been combined in a promising inhaler to treat two prevalent inflammatory illnesses of the airways: bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The necessity for a single, sensitive, and trustworthy analytical approach to cover the diverse and necessary tests of in-vitro and in-vivo studies is greatly grown with the rising production of new fixed combinations. Two novel, selective and environmentally friendly LC techniques were developed in order to guarantee precise measurement of IPR and FEN in their challenging formulation.

Bidentate and tetradentate chalcogen bonding host systems with SeCF functions as σ-hole donors in close proximity at the alkyne functions of 1,8-diethynylanthracene and its -dimer were prepared in quantitative yield by tin-selenium exchange reactions of the corresponding trimethylstannyl precursors with ClSeCF. The bidentate system shows chalcogen bonding interactions with THF, but does not bind halide ions. The tetradentate system cooperatively chelates chloride, bromide and iodide ions with its four CC-SeCF units by rotating the four σ-holes towards the halide ion.

This study presents the synthesis, characterization and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a small organic ammonium salt, CHBrN·Br. Small cations like the one in the title compound are considered promising components of hybrid perovskites, crucial for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. While the incorporation of this organic cation into various hybrid perovskite structures has been explored, its halide salt counterpart remains largely uninvestigated.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents the synthesis of a chiral isothiourea compound that shows promise for use as an organocatalyst and anti-inflammatory agent.
- The synthesis occurred in two efficient steps, resulting in a hydrobromide salt that yielded suitable crystals for X-ray diffraction analysis.
- Notable findings from the analysis include the specific orientation of the phenyl ring and the presence of a halogen bond, both of which may influence the compound's effectiveness in asymmetric reactions.
