Article Abstract

We have studied the effect of berberine on the recovery processes of liver xenobiotic-metabolizing function during its compensatory growth after 70% partial hepatectomy. It was found the hepatic ability to metabolize foreign substances are not restored up to day 8. Administration of berberine (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally) for 6 days led to normalization of both cytochrome P450-dependent and flavin-containing monooxygenases. It is suggested that in the biotransformation of berberine involved not only cytochrome P450, but also flavin-containing monooxygenases.

Melanoma is a type of aggressive cancer distinguished by its high propensity for recurrence, the development of metastases, and an unfavorable outlook for recovery. Treatment modalities for melanoma encompass surgery, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. In recent decades, berberine has garnered attention for its significant anticancer properties across various cancer types.

The extraction methods of berberine hydrochloride include water, acidified water, lime milk, and ethanol extraction. The water extraction method is mainly a decoction method, whereas the alcohol extraction method mainly includes microwave, ultrasonic and cable reflux extraction. In the alcohol extraction method, the solvent has low restriction and can be used repeatedly, making the operation simple and increasing the extraction rate; however, the equipment investment for ultrasonic extraction and other methods is substantial.

A urea-melamine-hexamethylenetetramine resin (UMHR) was synthesized using water as the reaction medium, with hexamethylenetetramine serving as an environmentally friendly crosslinking agent in place of traditional formaldehyde. The resin was optimized as an efficient solid-phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent through optimization of synthetic parameters. A precise detection method for berberine hydrochloride in Pudilan antiphlogistic oral liquid was established by optimizing extraction parameters.

Bacterial wound infection tends to cause intense inflammation, while a lack of oxygen can lead to the destruction and contraction of blood vessels in the wound microenvironment. Here, a degradable hydrogel (denoted as PBCB hydrogel) was constructed with gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), tannic acid (TA), and polyphosphate (PolyP) by photopolymerization, and mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) with berberine (BR), along with Cu and Bi nanoparticles grown in situ, were loaded into the hydrogel. PBCB hydrogel exhibits a high photothermal conversion efficiency (68.

Propose: The co-treatment of ulcerative colitis with berberine hydrochloride (BBR), the Janus kinase(JAK) inhibitor Tofacitinib (TOFA), and Fligotinib (FIGA) is feasible and sophisticated in terms of mechanism. However, no studies have yet explored their interactions. This study aimed to establish a highly sensitive, specific, and reproducible HPLC-MS/MS method for investigating the pharmacokinetic interactions between BBR-TOFA and BBR-FIGA in rats.
