Background: can infect all mammals, including rabbits, causing serious infections with remarkable economic losses for rabbit farmers. Berberine is an alkaloid that is effective against a variety of microbial infections such as . Growth curve by dry weight determination and in-vivo antifungal assay were carried out to clarify the inhibitory effect of berberine hydrochloride against . Transcriptomics analyses were also carried out for better understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
Results: The growth rate of was significantly higher in control condition than under berberine hydrochloride or clotrimazole for 60 h. The growth rate of was significantly slighter higher in berberine condition (1 mg) than under clotrimazole for 46 h. seriously shrunk after berberine or clotrimazole treatment, as observed by TEM and in SEM. Significant recovery was evident in three berberine groups on day 6 compared with the DMSO group. Results from transcriptomics analyses showed 18,881 identified unigenes, including 18,754 and 12,127 in the NT and SwissProt databases. Among these, 12,011, 9174, and 11,679 unigenes belonged to 3 Gene Ontology (GO), 43 KEGG, and 25 KOG categories, respectively. Interestingly, we found that down-regulation of 14α-demethylase exposed to various medicines was slightly different, i.e., berberine hydrochloride (fold change -3.4956) and clotrimazole (fold change -2.1283) caused various degrees of alteration.
Conclusions: Berberine hydrochloride could inhibit the growth of . Berberine hydrochloride could also cure dermatosis induced by . Down-regulation of 14α-demethylase exposed to various medicines was slightly different and might be one of the anti-resistance mechanisms of berberine hydrochloride in . The present investigation provides considerable transcript sequence data that would help further assess the antifungal mechanisms against , for antifungal medicine development.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of severe infections, leading to significant morbidity and mortality rates due to its ability of biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance. This study evaluates the in vitro antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of ciprofloxacin and berberine hydrochloride, alone and in combination, against clinical and standard strains of P. aeruginosa.

A sensing strategy to significantly enhance the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of berberine hydrochloride (BBR) is proposed. A supramolecular framework material was prepared by using 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) and nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril (ns-Q[10]). Single crystal structure analysis confirmed that the SSA@ns-Q[10] assembly forms a ternary complex.

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is one of the most common biliary malignancies. Berberine hydrochloride, an compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Coptis chinensis, has potential therapeutic effects on various tumor cells. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the anticancer efficacy of berberine hydrochloride in the context of GBC.

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.
