Article Abstract
Bioequivalence test is typically conducted by determining the drug concentration in plasma. However, this is not suitable for brain drugs (like Edaravone) that have targets in CNS. The amount of a drug in target site in the CNS is responsible for its activity in the brain, while the concentration of a drug in the blood has a weak impact on the CNS. In this paper, a new consistency evaluation method for brain drugs was established. 16 rats were divided into two groups. One group was administered the test preparation, and the other group was administered the control preparation. Then, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected. All of the CSF samples were examined by LC-MS. The 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratio of AUC was 90.30 - 150.59%, and 91.79 - 211.06% for C. In addition, the result indicated that the two preparations were not bioequivalent in the CNS, although the concentration-time profile and pharmacokinetic parameters were quite similar. The results revealed the particularity and complexity of the bioequivalence test for brain drugs that have targets in the CNS. The feasibility of the test was confirmed, and our results provide useful information for the consistency evaluation of brain drugs.

Aims: Acute restraint stress (RS) has been reported to activate the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus (SON). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of glutamatergic neurotransmission in the SON on autonomic [mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and tail cutaneous temperature], neuroendocrine (plasma levels of corticosterone, oxytocin, and vasopressin), and behavioral responses to RS.
Methods: Male Wistar rats with bilateral SON cannulas received microinjections of NMDA or non-NMDA receptor antagonists or vehicle before restraint stress, and the effects on cardiovascular, tail temperature, hormonal, and behavioral responses were evaluated RESULTS: Microinjection of DL-AP7 or NBQX into the SON reduced MAP increases and tail temperature decreases induced by RS.

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of brain cancer, characterised by profound genetic, epigenetic, and phenotypic heterogeneity. Recent advancements in high-resolution genome mapping have unveiled the critical role of three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture-encompassing chromatin loops, topologically associating domains, and enhancer-promoter interactions-in driving GBM tumourigenesis and therapy resistance. This review summarises recent insights into the mechanistic contribution of 3D genome reorganisation in sustaining oncogenic transcriptional programs, promoting intratumoural heterogeneity, and facilitating adaptive resistance.

Background: Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), caused by Naegleria fowleri, poses a significant challenge in humans owing to its high mortality rate, exceeding 97 %. Current therapeutics have been unable to deliver satisfactory treatment outcomes, due to suboptimal efficacy and toxicity, highlighting the critical need for efficacious drug development. In this study, we identified a natural compound, 3,5-Dihydroxy-8‑methoxy-1-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl xanthone (DX), which exhibited promising anti-N.

RET tyrosine kinase, a key regulator of cellular signaling, is abnormally activated due to mutations or fusions in various cancers, making it an important therapeutic target. Traditional multi-kinase inhibitors (MKIs, such as cabozantinib and vandetanib) exhibit significant side effects due to non-selective inhibition of targets like VEGFR, and also suffer from resistance associated with RET mutations (e.g.

The therapeutic mechanisms of Shenwu Yizhi Capsule (SWYZC), a widely used treatment for vascular dementia (VD), remain unclear. This study integrated network pharmacology and experimental methods to elucidate the effects and mechanisms of SWYZC on cognitive function in VD rats. A VD model was established via bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (2-VO).
