Chromones are a class of naturally occurring compounds, renowned for their diverse biological activities with significant relevance in medicine and biochemistry. This study marks the first analysis of rotational spectra of both the chromone monomer and its monohydrate through Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The observation of nine mono-substituted 13C isotopologues facilitated a semi-experimental determination of the equilibrium structure of the chromone monomer. In the case of chromone monohydrate, two distinct isomers were identified, each characterized by a combination of O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the chromone's carbonyl group. This study further delved into intermolecular non-covalent interactions, employing different theoretical approaches. The relative population ratio of the two identified isomers was estimated to be about 2:1 within the supersonic jet.

Cocrystals easily undergo solution-mediated phase transformation at the surface of dissolving cocrystals during dissolution, which significantly deteriorates the solubility advantage of cocrystals. Here, a new scenario for the phase transformation of liquiritigenin (LQ) cocrystals in which the boundary of phase transformation diffuses along the surface to the bulk of the cocrystal was identified. Additionally, depending on the rate of supersaturation generation, phase transformation processes to the anhydrate and hydrate of LQ compete during cocrystal dissolution.

The aim of this study was to investigate the alleviating effect of wogonin on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and its mechanism. The hemin-treated PC-12 cells were constructed to mimic ICH in vitro. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) analysis was used for cell viability measurement and flow cytometry was for pyroptosis detection.

Polycrystalline aggregates formed in the glomerulus or other components of the urinary system represent the most critical step in kidney stone formation. The most common form of these crystals is calcium oxalate monohydrate (CaCO·HO). Rutin is a potent antioxidant phytochemical, however, hydrophobicity and limited bioavailability restrain it from clinical applications.

Diosmin is a natural flavone glycoside (bioflavonoid) found in fruits and plants with several pharmacological activities. It has been widely used as a dietary supplement or therapeutic agent in various diseases/disorders. Although recommended, evidence of its protective mechanisms against kidney stone disease (nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis), especially calcium oxalate (CaOx) monohydrate (COM) that is the most common type, remained unclear.
