trans-Ferulic acid (TFA), a bioactive compound found in many plants, has been recognized for its diverse pharmacological activities, including potential neurological benefits. Previous studies suggest that TFA exerts anxiolytic effects via GABAergic pathways. This study aimed to investigate the sedative effects of TFA and its possible molecular mechanisms through in vivo and in silico approaches.

Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitors are a new class of agents for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Unlike traditional treatments such as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), HIF-PH inhibitors are orally administered drugs and may increase endogenous erythropoietin and improve iron homeostasis. However, a significant concern is their possible side effect on blood pressure.

Autocatalytic and DMSO-participating regioselective synthesis of ,-disubstituted pyrimido[4,5-]quinoline-2,4(1,3)-diones from anilines and barbituric acids has been achieved. In this newly developed one-pot tandem reaction, DMSO serves as a solvent cum methine source. Additionally, barbituric acid plays a dual role by acting as a substrate and a catalyst, making this reaction an environmentally benign approach to accessing valuable heterocycles.

The gastric stability of eight barbiturates (BARs) (barbital, primidone, allobarbital, phenobarbital, cyclobarbital, pentobarbital, secobarbital, and thiobutabarbital (TBB)) was examined in artificial gastric juice using LC/UV detection. Among the eight BARs, only TBB was degraded at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the degradation product of TBB was isolated, structurally analyzed, and finally identified as 5-butan-2-yl-5-ethyl-1,3-diazinane-2,4,6-trione, also known as butabarbital.
