Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Pseudobulbus Cremastrae seu Pleiones (PCSP) is a multi-source traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with diverse chemical compositions and toxicity levels. The authenticity identification and safety evaluation of PCSP have attracted widespread attention in clinical applications.
Aim Of This Study: The objective of this study was to evaluate the authenticity and safety of commercially available PCSP.
Whole-genome duplication (polyploidy) poses many complications but is an important driver for eukaryotic evolution. To experimentally study how many challenges from the cellular (including gene expression) to the life history levels are overcome in polyploid evolution, a system in which polyploidy can be reliably induced and sustained over generations is crucial. Until now, this has not been possible with animals, as polyploidy notoriously causes first-generation lethality.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 50%. The dismal prognosis is due in part to metastatic disease and acquired drug resistance to conventional chemotherapies such as taxanes. Colchicine binding site inhibitors (CBSIs) are attractive alternatives to taxanes because they could potentially achieve oral bioavailability and overcome drug resistance associated with the prolonged use of taxanes.

Background: Sodium azide exposures are rare but can be lethal as the substance inhibits complex IV in the electron transport chain, blocking adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. Sodium azide is mostly used as a propellant in vehicular airbags but is also used in laboratory, pharmacy, and industrial settings. No known antidote exists and its cardiotoxic effects are poorly described in the literature.

Cancer has emerged as a potentially lethal illness, which recently upsurged in the mortality rate. Animal-derived compounds could be promising targets with higher efficacy and low toxicity in anticancer therapy. The present study aimed to explore the presence of anticancer potential compounds in Hirudinaria manillensis methanolic extract and their anticancer potential against various cancer cell types and target identification by Auto dock method.
