    Doxorubicin is one of the potent drugs in the clinic for the treatment of blood cancers and solid tumors. However, side effects and drug resistance of doxorubicin pose major obstacles to its application in antitumor therapy. Curcumin exhibits multiple pharmacological effects such as antitumor activity, antioxidation, and anti-inflammation. When combined with doxorubicin, curcumin can enhance efficacy, reduce toxicity, and reverse multidrug resistance. Nevertheless, due to the poor solubility, instability, and low bioavailability of curcumin, the application of this combination therapy is limited. Currently, the nano drug co-delivery system offers numerous advantages in antitumor therapy. A nano-based co-loading delivery system of curcumin and doxorubicin can improve drug solubility, enhance stability, achieve targeted drug aggregation, and realize sustained- and controlled- release at the tumor site. This review summarizes the antitumor mechanisms of the concomitant use of curcumin and doxorubicin and their novel nano-based drug delivery systems in recent years, providing ideas for further research on this combination therapy and the development and application of their nano-formulations.

    Diseases caused by bacterial infections pose a significant threat to human health. In recent years, the overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of drug-resistant microorganisms and the development of new bacterial strains. These factors have further exacerbated the threat of bacteria to human health and environmental safety. Consequently, the development of novel antibacterial materials to prevent the emergence of “superbugs” has become a key research focus. Metal-organic framework materials(MOFs) have emerged as star materials in the antibacterial field, owing to their exceptional crystallinity, high porosity, large specific surface area, and facile tunability through modification. However, traditional MOFs also exhibit some shortcomings, such as poor hydrophilicity, long antibacterial cycles, and lack of targeting. To overcome these drawbacks, post-synthetic modification of conventional MOFs has emerged as an important strategy. Based on this, this article summarizes several design approaches for novel MOF-based antimicrobial materials, including modification of MOFs metal nodes, functionalization of organic ligands, surface and pore structure modification, and the formation of composites with other materials. The aim is to provide a reference for the future synthesis of advanced antimicrobial MOFs.

    The synthesis process of the antihyperglycemic drug linagliptin(1) was optimized, and the key process parameters for each step were determined, along with the impurities generated. Starting from 8-bromo-7-(but- 2-yn-1-yl)-3-methylxanthine(3), crude 1 was obtained through a two-step substitution reaction and deprotection. The pure target 1 was afforded by recrystallization from ethanol with an overall yield of 74.6% (based on 3) and HPLC purity of 99.85% , while individual impurity below 0.05% . By replacing the deprotection reagent with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate(TMSOTf), the process was stabilized and simplified, significantly reducing the formation of the dimer impurity of 1(namely related substance B). This optimized process was suitable for industrial production. Furthermore, nine related substances were synthesized, among which the synthetic routes of related substances A, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I were reported at the first time. This study is expected to provide a valuable reference for the quality control of 1.

    Teduglutide(1) exerts its physiological effects by binding to glucagon-like peptide-2(GLP-2) receptors on the intestinal and digestive tract walls. Clinically, it is used to treat short bowel syndrome. In light of the current situation where only an expensive original product with limited accessibility is available on the domestic market, this study aims to develop a more efficient production method. To achieve this, small ubiquitin-related modifier protein was fused with 1 for intracellular soluble expression in Escherichia coli. The results showed that the target peptide reached a productivity of over 800 mg per liter of fermentation broth, with a purification yield of approximately 46% and a purity exceeding 99% . The LC-MS/MS analysis confirmed that relative molecular weight and amino acid sequence of the peptide were consistent with the theoretical predictions. This research offers a simple, low-cost, high-yield approach for 1 production, laying a foundation for future large-scale manufacturing.

    Reactive oxygen species(ROS) are byproducts of cellular redox metabolism. Excessive ROS can lead to oxidative damage of DNA, proteins and lipids, thereby exacerbating the genetic instability of cancer cells and promoting tumor initiation and progression. Peroxiredoxin 1(PRDX1), a key member of the peroxidase family, plays a pivotal role in maintaining intracellular ROS balance, effectively protecting cells from ROS-induced damage. Simultaneously, PRDX1 acts as a molecular chaperone in various malignancies, exhibiting dual roles in either promoting or inhibiting tumor growth. In recent years, numerous PRDX1-targeting candidate drugs have demonstrated significant antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo, confirming PRDX1 as a potential target for cancer therapy. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of PRDX1 as a tumor treatment target, as well as the development of antitumor natural products targeting PRDX1.

    Dimetridazole(1) is a nitroimidazole antibacterial agent and an antiprotozoal veterinary drug. The traditional batch methylation for the synthesis of 1 has issues such as low yield, abundant disubstituted impurities, and high safety risks. In this study, 1 was prepared through a continuous flow reactor, which effectively reduced potential risks in the methylation reaction and increased the yield from 53% (reported in the literature) to 73% . Meanwhile, four related substances of 1 were discovered and synthesized, namely 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole(3), 1,2,3-trimethyl-5- nitroimidazolium monomethyl sulfate(4), and a mixture of N-methyl-N-(2-methylamino-2-nitrovinyl)acetamide(5) and N-methyl-N-(2-methylamino-1-nitrovinyl)acetamide(6), which provided some references for the quality control of 1. In addition, it was found that when ammonia was used in the work-up of the methylation reaction, the quaternary ammonium salt 4 could be demethylated into the target product, offering a new approach to turning waste into valuable product.

    Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(1) is clinically used to treat neutropenia caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy in cancer patients. When expressed in Escherichia coli, 1 predominantly accumulates as inactive inclusion bodies. So, the low yield of inclusion body denaturation and refolding limits the overall process yield. In this study, soluble expression of 1 was achieved by employing a fusion expression strategy with the small ubiquitin-related modifier protein, with an expression level of 2.19 g/L. Further steps including extraction, enzymatic cleavage, clarification, anion exchange chromatography, cation exchange chromatography, and ammonium sulfate precipitation yielded 1 with a purity of 99.3% and a recovery rate of 44.2% . The structure and function of the self-produced 1 were confirmed through HPLC retention time comparison, mass spectrometry, peptide mapping, disulfide bond localization, and in vitro biological activity assays. Finally, a 50 L scale-up test demonstrated the feasibility of industrial-scale manufacturing for this process. This study provides a robust foundation for the industrialization and subsequent structural optimization of 1.

    To enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of epalrestat(EP), a cocrystal of EP and benzamide(BAM), as well as its inclusion complex with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(HP-β-CD), were prepared using a mechanical ball milling method. The preparation conditions for both the EP-BAM cocrystal and its inclusion complex were optimized. Structural characterization was performed using powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and infrared spectroscopy. The solubility performance was evaluated through saturation solubility experiments and in vitro dissolution tests were also carried out. The results showed that the solubility of the EP-BAM cocrystal increased by 1.08- fold compared to EP, while that of the EP-BAM/HP-β-CD inclusion complex increased by 11.53-fold. The results of in vitro dissolution tests showed that both the cocrystal and the inclusion complex exhibited superior dissolution rates and amounts compared with the physical mixture. The EP-BAM cocrystal and the EP-BAM/HP-β-CD inclusion complex significantly improve the solubility and dissolution rate of EP, providing an effective strategy to enhance its bioavailability.

    Oligonucleotide drugs have been utilized in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. To enhance their stability and facilitate transmembrane delivery, lipid nanoparticles(LNPs) are commonly employed as carriers. However, the poor stability of miRNA-LNPs results in stringent storage requirements, limiting their broad application. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of formulation and process parameters on miRNA-LNPs physical stability, using particle size and encapsulation efficiency as key indicators. The results indicated that various phospholipids contributed to the physical stability of LNPs, among which PEGylated phospholipids effectively preventing LNPs aggregation. The phase transition of water directly destroyed the LNPs structure, and the combination of cryoprotectant sucrose and PEGylated phospholipids could effectively resist the damage caused by water phase transition to the LNPs structure. By elucidating the mechanisms by which structural materials and water phase transitions affect miRNALNPs physical stability, this study introduced cryoprotectants as a novel strategy to improve the physical stability of oligonucleotide drug-loaded LNPs. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing LNP-based formulations, thereby strengthening the clinical applicability of small nucleic acid therapeutics.

    Peptide-drug conjugates(PDCs) are emerging targeted drugs, composed of payloads, linkers, and homing peptides. By homing peptides, cytotoxic molecules or radionuclides can be enriched in cells of diseased tissues, thereby reducing the toxicity to normal cells. With the advantages of high selectivity, high tissue penetration, and low immunogenicity, PDCs have become a hot spot in the development of a new generation of targeted antineoplastic drugs following antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs). Nevertheless, PDCs still face some challenges, such as poor in vivo stability, and low receptor affinity. This paper reviews the composition, clinical application progress, key technologies, and challenges of PDCs, aiming to provide some references for the development and application of PDCs.

    Cytotoxicity tests were conducted to evaluate the biosafety of medical polyurethane(PU) products. In this study, cytotoxicity tests of PU products mainly composed of bis(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl)methane(HMDI) and poly(tetramethylene ether)glycol(PTMEG) were conducted. The cytotoxicity of the PU products, raw materials and additives in the formulations were tested respectively according to the MTT method. The results showed that PU had no acute systemic toxicity, but the cell viability of PU was less than 50%, which indicated a cytotoxic potential. This laboratory prepared a small-batch of PU samples using the same formulation as commercial products, which passed acute systemic toxicity tests but exhibited only 8% cell viability. After acetone cleaning, the cell viability increased to 60% . The cell viabilities of the formulations containing HMDI and the additives such as chain extenders, antioxidants, light stabilizers and catalysts were more than 70% in the cytotoxicity test, indicating no cytotoxicity. However, the cell viability of PTMEGcontaining formulations was less than 70% , with viability decreasing as concentration increased, indicating that PTMEG might be the primary cause of PU cytotoxicity. It is recommended to adjust the proportion of PTMEG or replace it with polyols exhibiting superior biosafety performance in PU products, and optimize the cleaning process during production to ensure the biosafety of PU.

    Droplet-based microfluidic technology shows great application potential in the preparation of drug delivery systems due to its excellent handling of fluids at the micro- or nano-scale. Compared with the microspheres prepared by conventional preparation methods, the microspheres prepared by droplet-based microfluidics exhibit a welldefined and controllable composition and structure, high monodispersity, and good process reproducibility. Focusing on the droplet generation passive method and passive microchannel device, this review introduces the basic principles of microsphere preparation by droplet -based microfluidics, and systematically analyzes the main effects of fluid-related parameters, device design parameters and additives on the critical quality attributes, including microsphere morphology, particle size distribution, encapsulation efficiency, and drug release behavior. It is hoped that this review can provide a reference for the research and development of microspheres.

    Biopharmaceuticals, especially therapeutic monoclonal antibodies(mAbs), are mainly produced in mammalian cell culture systems. Glycosylation is a critical quality attribute of mAbs, which has a significant impact on their biological activity, pharmacokinetics, half-life, and immunogenicity. Therefore, in order to better control the quality of glycosylation modification, the glycosylation process of mAbs must be regulated and monitored throughout the culture process of mammalian cells. This review focuses on the engineering of mammalian cells, optimization of cell culture processes and culture media, glycosylation regulators, mathematical models and omics technologies. And it introduces the technological progress achieved in the regulation of glycosylation modification of monoclonal antibodies during mammalian cell culture.

    The treatment for arthritis often involves long-term oral administration or intra-articular injection of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate inflammation and slow down the progression of the disease. However, these treatments may give rise to gastrointestinal irritation, hepatotoxicity, intra-articular infections, and other adverse effects. As a transdermal drug delivery system, microneedles can penetrate the stratum corneum barrier to deliver drugs to the deeper epidermis and dermis layer rich in immune cells, and has attracted widespread attention and application in the field of arthritis treatment due to its advantages of minimally invasive and improved drug permeability. This review elaborates on the progress of microneedles in the treatment of arthritis, in order to provide a reference for the development of preparations for arthritis treatment.

    Antibody drug conjugates(ADCs) are biotherapeutic agents composed of a monoclonal antibody covalently linked to a cytotoxic payload via a chemical linker. Their unique structure combines the dual advantages of antibody-mediated targeted delivery and the potent cytotoxicity, demonstrating remarkable clinical efficacy in solid tumors, hematological malignancies and other therapeutic areas. ADCs are expected to play a pivotal role in future global drug development. Throughout the entire lifecycle of ADC development, manufacturing, and quality control, their binding affinity and biological activity critically influence therapeutic efficacy and safety. Comprehensive characterization of in vitro biological activity not only serves as the cornerstone for ensuring the clinical performance but also drives the resolution of current technical challenges and the advancement of innovative drug development. This review systematically discusses the current in vitro biological activity evaluation methods of ADCs, focusing on five functional modules based on the mechanism of ADCs: target binding activity, internalization efficiency, payload cytotoxicity, bystander effect, and Fcmediated functions, aiming to provide methodological references for ADC development and quality control.

    To investigate the effects of score design on the quality of scored tablets, five types of scored tablets were selected as models, and the effects of tablet shape, shape and depth of score line, tablet hardness on the partitioning capability of different specifications and different tablets were evaluated with tablet weight variation, mass loss, content uniformity, and dissolution/release as evaluation indicators. The results showed that capsule-shaped tablets were easier to be split than circular tablets. When the long-to-short axis ratio of the capsule-shaped tablet was less than 2, tablet weight variation could be improved by increasing the score line depth(approximately 0.5 mm). The recommended hardness range for sustained-release scored tablets was between 90 N and 130 N to maintain the integrity of the pellets; the recommended hardness range for orally disintegrating tablets was between 30 N and 50 N to meet the requirement of disintegration time limit within 60 seconds. Low dose(specification ≤ 10 mg) scored tablets should pay attention to the content uniformity of intact tablets(A+2.2S ≤ 7.0) and the mass loss( ≤ 0.8 % ) after segmentation to control the accuracy of tablet splitting. Manual and mechanical splitting showed no significant differences in various indicators of the segmented parts, fully complying with the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition and the related guidance. These findings validated the rationality of the model drug score design and provided guidance for scored tablets development.

    Based on the principle that uricase catalyzes the decomposition of uric acid to produce allantoin, hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide, this paper established a method to detect the activity of uricase at 37 ℃ and pH 7.5. The results showed that the quantitative ranges of hydrogen peroxide and uricase were 0.049 - 100.000 μmol/L and 0.819 - 200.000 mU/mL, respectively. The within- and between-run variation coefficients of precision were less than 20.0% , and the relative error of accuracy were within ±25.0% . The results of recovery experiments using hyperlipemia samples(lipid index 3 mg/mL) and 2% hemolysis donor samples compared to normal donor samples showed that hyperlipemia did not interfere with the detection of uricase activity, whereas hemolysis did. Uricase activity was not affected when human serum uricase samples were placed at room temperature or 2 - 8 ℃ for no more than 24 h, frozen and thawing for no more than 3 cycles, and stored at –70 –90 ℃ for no more than 64 days. In conclusion, the established method is sensitive, precise, accurate, simple, rapid, and can support the evaluation of preclinical and clinical studies of uricase drugs.

    CD16 has the capacity to effectively mediate natural killer(NK) cell activation without the necessity for co-engagement of other receptors, making it a widely selected target in bispecific antibodies(BsAbs) based on NK cell redirection. Mesothelin(MSLN) is significantly overexpressed in various solid tumors and can promote tumor cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. In this study, a bispecific antibody, 16MSLN, targeting both CD16 and MSLN was constructed. The antibody was expressed in Expi293F cells and purified using Protein L to obtain highly pure target antibody. The results of cell experiments indicated that 16MSLN could promote the crosslinking of NK cells with target cells and specifically enhance the killing effect of NK cells on MSLN+ tumor cells. This study provides a reference for the development of NK cell-redirected BsAbs.

    A novel synthetic route for the preparation of the camptothecin intermediate, the racemic lactone(17), starting from 6-chloro-2-methoxynicotinic acid(12) was reported in this paper. Initially, compound 12 underwent a nucleophilic addition reaction with the selected 1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)butan-2-one. Employing an acetal and a benzyl group for selective protection, the synthesis proceeded through oxidation, deprotection and cyclization with methylsulfonic acid. The overall yield of this process was 31.23 % (based on 12). Compound 17 could be effectively converted into the racemic tricyclic ketone through four additional steps. This new synthetic method successfully avoided the needs for hazardous reagents such as ozone, osmium tetroxide, and cyanides, greatly enhanced the safety.
