Article Abstract
Currently, cocrystallization is a promising strategy for tailoring the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Theophylline, an alkaloid and the most primary metabolite of caffeine, is a readily available compound found in tea and coffee. It functions primarily as a bronchodilator and respiratory stimulant, making it a mainstay treatment for lung diseases like asthma. Theophylline's additional potential benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, and its possible role in neurological disorders, have garnered significant research interest. Cocrystal formation presents a viable approach to improve the physicochemical properties of theophylline and potentially mitigate its toxic effects. This review comprehensively explores several successful studies that utilized cocrystallization to favorably alter the physicochemical properties of theophylline or its CCF. Notably, cocrystals can not only enhance the solubility and bioavailability of theophylline but also exhibit synergistic effects with other APIs. The review further delves into the hydrogen bonding sites within the theophylline structure and the hydrogen bonding networks observed in cocrystal structures.

Statement Of Problem: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been used in clinical dentistry because of its excellent physical and biological properties. However, achieving an effective and durable bond with enamel is challenging because of its chemical inertness and low surface energy, and data on the effects of different surface treatments on the durability of PEEK-enamel bonds are scarce.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate airborne-particle abrasion, sulfuric acid etching, and the combined use of these treatments on the bonding durability of PEEK-enamel bonds and to gain a deeper understanding of their bonding mechanism.
Construction and microencapsulation of tea polyphenols W/O/W double emulsion based on modified gluten (MEG).

The objective of this study was to solve instability and low bioavailability of tea polyphenols (TPs), and to explore the application of gluten protein as microcapsule wall material. Modified gluten protein (MEG), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), xanthan gum (XG) or acacia gum (GA) were used as composite wall materials to encapsulate TPs by double-emulsion technique, and the physicochemical and structural properties of the products were characterized. The results show that the composite wall material effectively encapsulated and enhanced the stability of TPs.

High concentrations of nitrite stress aquatic animals, leading to significant fish and shrimp deaths as well as environmental pollution. Reducing nitrite levels in high-density aquaculture is crucial for both aquaculture safety and environmental protection. Nitrite reductase (NiR) can rapidly reduce nitrite in water, offering potential applications in aquaculture and water treatment.

The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups, at positions C2, C3 and C6 on the cyclodextrin (CD) ring structure allows for extensive functionalisation, enabling the development of biomaterials with significant potential for therapeutic siRNA delivery. To identify structural modifications that enhance activity, a range of cationic amphiphilic CDs, including both β- and γ-CDs, were synthesised, compared and evaluated. Each CDs incorporated a C lipid chain on the primary face of the CD.

Inhibition of mitochondrial pyruvate transport via the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) has shown beneficial effects in treating metabolic diseases, certain cancers, various forms of neurodegeneration, and hair loss. These benefits arise either from the direct inhibition of mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism or from the metabolic rewiring when pyruvate entry is inhibited. However, current MPC inhibitors are either nonspecific or possess poor pharmacokinetic properties.
