Article Abstract
Background: Calycosin may be a potential candidate regarding chemotherapeutic agent, because already some studies against multivarious cancer have been made with this natural compound.
Aim: This review elucidated a brief overview of previous studies on calycosin potential effects on various cancers and its potential mechanism of action.
Methodology: Data retrieved by systematic searches of Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Scopus by using keywords including calycosin, cancer types, anti-cancer mechanism, synergistic, and pharmacokinetic and commonly used tools are BioRender, ChemDraw Professional 16.0, and ADMETlab 2.0.
Results: Based on our review, calycosin is available in nature and effective against around 15 different types of cancer. Generally, the anti-cancer mechanism of this compound is mediated through a variety of processes, including regulation of apoptotic pathways, cell cycle, angiogenesis and metastasis, oncogenes, enzymatic pathways, and signal transduction process. These study conducted in various study models, including in silico, in vitro, preclinical and clinical models. The molecular framework behind the anti-cancer effect is targeting some oncogenic and therapeutic proteins and multiple signaling cascades. Therapies based on nano-formulated calycosin may make excellent nanocarriers for the delivery of this compound to targeted tissue as well as particular organ. This natural compound becomes very effective when combined with other natural compounds and some standard drugs. Moreover, proper use of this compound can reverse resistance to existing anti-cancer drugs through a variety of strategies. Calycosin showed better pharmacokinetic properties with less toxicity in human bodies.
Conclusion: Calycosin exhibits excellent potential as a therapeutic drug against several cancer types and should be consumed until standard chemotherapeutics are available in pharma markets.

Bufei Huoxue capsule (BHC), consisting of Astragali Radix, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, and Psoraleae Fructus, demonstrates remarkable efficacy in treating various pulmonary conditions. In this research, an original approach using high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was devised to quantitatively determine twenty components (calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, methylnissolin, calycosin, genistein, formononetin, daidzein, angelicin, psoralen, astragaloside IV, 6'-O-galloyl paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, psoralenoside, isopsoralenoside, catechin, kaempferol, p-coumaric acid, and protocatechuic acid) of BHC in rat plasma. For the twenty selected quantitative prototypes, all calibration curves exhibited excellent linearity (r ≥ 0.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) is traditionally prescribed for Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis stroke in TCM, yet its key pharmacologically active constituents and mechanistic basis remain to be fully elucidated.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the key pharmacologically active constituents of BYHWD against Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis type cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (QDBS + CI/R), and to clarify their roles in counteracting oxidative stress, suppressing inflammation, and improving energy metabolism.
Methods: A QDBS + CI/R rat model was used to assess BYHWD's therapeutic effects via neurological and syndrome scoring, histology (HE, Nissl), and biochemical markers (T-AOC, IL-1β, IL-6, ATP, ADP).

Introduction: Ling-Gui-Zhu-Gan Decoction (LGZGD), one of the first batches of classical Chinese prescriptions formally recognized by the Chinese government, has a long-standing history of clinical application and significant potential for modern development. However, the chemical composition and content of different types of pharmaceutical preparations are not clear.
Methods: This study aimed to develop an analytical approach integrating HPLC and UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap/MS to comprehensively characterize the chemical constituents of LGZGD across different preparation stages and to investigate its pharmacodynamic basis in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UA) using network pharmacology.

Backgrouond: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes mellitus, which has become a global public health problem. Since 2006, our hospital in the course of clinical treatment, we found that the Xiaokening granules have been observed to have a significant ameliorative effect on type 2 diabetes, yet the main effective components, the in vivo metabolic processes, and the potential mechanisms of action remain unclear.
Methods: The material basis of Xiaokening granules was analyzed by Q-TOF-MS, and its metabolites and metabolic process in plasma, urine and feces were tracked and analyzed.
