In this study, synergistic therapeutic action of silver (Ag)-cisplatin nanoparticles loaded on monodispersed spherical silica (MSS) was investigated to evaluate anti-cancer (HCT-116 and HeLa cells) and antibacterial activity (, and ). Four different wt% of Ag (1, 2, 4 and 6 wt%) was loaded on MSS using a wet

Development of a high sensitivity UHPLC-MS/MS method to determine the twelve compounds of Physochlainae Radix extract and application to a pharmacokinetic study in rats Arab. J. Chem. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Zhenguo Lv, Caixia Li, Tiantian Wu, Peng Zhao, Yang Liu, Huizi Ouyang, Jihong Feng, Jun He
Physochlainae Radix (PR) is generally applied for treating cough and asthma. In this study, a sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of twelve components (scopolamine, anisodamine, hyoscyamine, protocatechuic acid, fabiatrin, scopolin, 4-hydroxybenzoic

Teriflunomide mitigates pain-depression dyad in mice: Modulation of PI3K-mediated defensive signaling Arab. J. Chem. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Kamal Nabi, Lovedeep Singh, Atul Kabra, Ashwag S. Alanazi, Hany W. Darwish, Bader Alsuwayt
The pain-depression dyad refers to a complex and often bidirectional relationship between physical pain and depression. It suggests that these two experiences can interact and exacerbate each other, leading to a cycle of worsening symptoms. Both pain and depression involve changes in brain chemistry and neural pathways. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway often contributes to mood

Tanshinone IIA as a therapy for PCOS via FOS/JUN/TP53 axis: Evidence from network pharmacology of Bajitian-Danshen pair Arab. J. Chem. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 Honglin Liu, Jiani Xie, Limin Fan, Jianhua Zhou, Yue Xia, Xia Peng, Huilan Du, Xiaorong Ni
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disease affecting women of reproductive age; there is a need for interventions to address this condition. Herein, the network pharmacology approach was used to explore the potential of combining (Bajitian) and (Danshen) for treating PCOS. The bioactive ingredients of the Bajitian-Danshen pair were identified and used for predicting potential therapeutic

In situ flame-synthesis of nanostructured carbon materials via facile alcohol Bunsen burner Arab. J. Chem. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-28 Hao-Lin Hsu, Ta-Hui Lin, Chao-Ming Huang, Wei-Cheng Chiu, Wen-Chang Huang, Shuhn-Shyurng Hou
This study aimed to investigate the in-situ synthesis of nanostructured carbon materials using alcohol flames generated by a Bunsen lamp burner and a catalytic Ni substrate, as opposed to the chemical vapor deposition method. Four different liquid fuels were utilized, including n-butanol, ethanol, n-butanol/aqueous ammonia, and ethanol/aqueous ammonia. The carbon growth, morphology, and structure caused
