Objective To compare the brain pharmacokinetics of five protoberberine-type alkaloids ( i.e. berberine , palmatine , coptisine , epiberberine, and jatrorrhizine), which were the main bioactive constituents of Jiaotai Pills (JTP), in normal and insomnic rats orally administrated with JTP. Methods The detection was conducted by a fully validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry combinated with brain microdialysis method. Brain microdialysis probes were inserted into the hippocampus of rats. JTP extracts were administrated intragastrically and then brain microdialysates were collected at 30 min time intervals for 10 h. The separation of the five protoberberine-type alkaloids was carried out on a BDS Hypersil C 18 column using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water (containing 5 mmol ammonium acetate adjusted to pH 5.0) within 4 min. The quantification was performed by multiple reaction monitoring with the transitions of m / z 336.0-320.1 for berberine, m / z 352.0-336.1 for palmatine, m / z 338.0-322.1 for jatrorrhizine , m / z 336.0-320.1 for epiberberine, m / z 320.0-292.1 for coptisine and m / z 356.4-192.1 for IS. Results The lower limit of quantification for five protoberberine-type alkaloids was 0.05 ng/mL. Linearity, accuracy, precision, stability and matrix effect of five analytes were all satisfactory. Five protoberberine-type alkaloids were quickly distributed in the brain. Moreover, significant differences in the principal pharmacokinetic parameters such as AUC and T 1/2 of the analytes were observed between two groups. Conclusion The LC-MS/MS method combinated with microdialysis is useful in the brain pharmacokinetic study of five protoberberine-type alkaloids. The results indicated that the rates of analytes absorption in insomnic rats were significantly higher than those in normal rats. Besides, the protoberberine-type alkaloids could bring a direct effect on the neuron in the hippocampus.

Mn4+-activated fluoride phosphors are some of the crucial red-emitting phosphors for white lighting systems driven by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this study, we successfully synthesized high-quality K2Si1−xF6:xMn4+ (nominal x = 0.03–0.70, measured x of 0.22%–33.3%) crystals, measuring approximately 1 mm in size, through a new cooling-induced crystallization method. These crystals exhibit narrow line-type photoluminescence emission bands and exceptional optical properties, including a high absorption efficiency of up to 92.9% and an external quantum efficiency of up to 78.5%, which are among the record values for Mn4+-doped fluoride phosphors. Furthermore, they exhibit a notably elevated luminescence thermal quenching temperature (T1/2) exceeding 500 K. A comprehensive investigation into the phase transformation, zero-phonon line tuning, and fluorescence decay behavior as a function of increasing Mn concentrations was also conducted. Practical applications were demonstrated through the fabrication of warm white LEDs, integrating a blue LED with a garnet yellow phosphor and the as-synthesized K2Si1−xF6:xMn4+ (measured x of 2.94%) crystals as the red component. The white LEDs exhibit an impressive luminous efficacy of 192.1 lm W−1, a color rendering index of Ra = 87.5 and R9 = 62 under a 20 mA driving current. Our study highlights the outstanding properties of Mn4+-doped fluoride crystals with bulk size rather than conventional powdery form and the potential of the cooling-induced crystallization method for cultivating the crystals.

Citronellol-cabazitaxel (CIT-ss-CTX) conjugate self-assembled nanoparticles (CSNPs) were designed and prepared by conjugating cabazitaxel with citronellol via the disulfide bond that is redox-sensitive to the high concentration of glutathione within tumor cells. Notably, the CSNPs maintained in the cell cytotoxicity. Moreover, the AUC0-t of CSNPs was 6.5-fold higher than that of cabazitaxel solutions and the t1/2 was prolonged 2.3 times. Furthermore, we found that CSNPs could be employed as an efficient carrier for other hydrophobic drugs or imaging agents. Thus, the in vivo targeting study was implemented via using 1,1-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR)-loaded CSNPs as imaging agent, which showed CSNPs could effectively accumulate at the tumor site. Curcumin, a hydrophobic anticancer drug, was successfully loaded in CSNPs which exhibits good stability and synergistic antitumor effects. The citronellol–cabazitaxel conjugate therefore has a promising perspective as a multifunctional nanomedicine for combination therapy and theranostics attributed to its long-circulation property, redox-sensitive mechanism, and high drug coloading capability.

A comparative study on pharmacokinetics of four long-acting enrofloxacin injectable formulations was investigated in 36 healthy pigs after intramuscular injection according to the recommended single dose @ 2.5 mg/kg body weight. The drug concentrations in the plasma were computed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. WinNonLin5.2.1 software was used to analyze the experimental data and compared it under one-way ANOVA using SPSS software with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The main pharmacokinetic parameters, that is, the maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax), the time to maximum concentration (Tmax), area under the time curve concentration (AUCall) and Terminal half-life (T1/2) were 733.84 ± 129.87, 917.00 ± 240.13, 694.84 ± 163.49, 621.98 ± 227.25 ng/ml, 2.19 ± 0.0.66, 1.50 ± 0.37, 2.89 ± 0.24, 0.34 ± 0.13 h, 7754.43 ± 2887.16, 8084.11 ± 1543.98, 7369.42 ± 2334.99, 4194.10 ± 1186.62 ng h/ml, 10.48 ± 2.72, 10.37 ± 2.38, 10.20 ± 2.81, and 10.61 ± 0.86 h for 10% enrofloxacin (Alkali), 20% enrofloxacin (Acidic), Yangkang and control drug Nuokang® respectively. There were significant differences among Cmax, Tmax, and AUCall of three formulations compare with that of the reference formulation. No significant differences were observed among the T1/2 for tested formulations compare with the reference formulation. The pharmacokinetic parameters showed that the tested formulations were somewhat better compared to the reference one. The calculated PK/PD indices were effective for bacteria such as Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida with values higher than the cut-off points (Cmax/MIC90≥10–12 and AUC/MIC90 ≥ 125). However, they were not effective against bacteria like Haemophilus parasuis, Streptococcus suis, E. coli, and Bordetella bronchiseptica where lower values were obtained.
