The pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin in nude mice have been investigated following intravenous and intraperitoneal administration of single doses of 12 mg/kg. The areas under the concentration curves of doxorubicin in kidney, heart, and striated muscle following intraperitoneal administration were approximately half the areas following intravenous injection, whereas plasma and liver showed nearly identical concentrations after a distribution phase of 2 h. Only minor differences in pharmacokinetics were found between nude and normal mice.

To investigate the effect of icariin (ICA) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its autophagy/apoptosis mechanism in HCC. The anti-HCC mechanism of ICA was investigated using HCC cells treated with 20 µmol/L ICA. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed using CCK-8 and colony formation assays, respectively, while TUNEL staining evaluated anti-apoptotic effects.

Shuanghuanglian (SHL) and its primary constituents have demonstrated protective effects against allergenic diseases. This review examines the anaphylactic and anti-allergenic activities of SHL and its constituents. We also discuss potential avenues for future research, particularly regarding the expansion of the clinical applications of SHL formulations (oral or nebulized) for the treatment of allergenic disorders.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful antineoplastic FDA-approved anthracycline-derived antibiotic and is considered as the most suitable intervention for solid tumors and hematological cancers therapy. However, its therapeutic application is highly limited due to acute and chronic renal, hematological and testicular toxicity. Oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and apoptosis in germ cells as well as low sperm count, motility and disturbing steroidogenesis are the principal machineries of DOX-induced testicular toxicity.

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa caused by loss-of-function variants in genes encoding the skin basement membrane proteins laminin 332, type XVII collagen, or integrin α6β4 affects patients from birth with severe blistering, eventually leading to scarring and early lethality. In this study, we have optimized a previously published junctional epidermolysis bullosa-knockout mouse model with weekly tamoxifen intraperitoneal injections, resulting in a more controllable and severe model. Owing to the titratable dosing, this model now recapitulates both early and advanced stages of the human disease, strengthening its use in therapeutic studies.

Background: Piperine, a secondary metabolite, affects the antihyperlipidemic effect of Ezetimibe (EZ). Hyperlipidemia is one of the independent risk factors for cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis. Antihyperlipidemic drugs are essential for reducing cardiovascular events and patient mortality.
