    Antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs) are novel antineoplastics that combine the high targeting speciffcity of monoclonal antibodies with the potent cytotoxicity of small-molecule toxins. By selectively delivering cytotoxic payloads to tumor cells, ADCs achieve effective tumor cell killing while minimizing damage to healthy cells and reducing systemic toxicity. These innovative agents, often referred to as “biological missile”, are leading a new era in targeted cancer therapy. Although three generations of ADCs have been applied to cancer treatment, further optimization of the components of ADCs is still required to address challenges such as stability, cytotoxicity, and drug resistance. This article summarizes the approved ADCs and those under clinical research, outlines innovative directions for next-generation ADCs, to provide insights for advancing research and development of novel cancer treatments using ADC technology.

    Central nervous system(CNS) diseases have become a major global public health challenge. Intranasal administration offers a promising, non-invasive delivery route for drugs to the brain by bypassing the blood-brain barrier, avoiding the ffrst-pass effect, achieving high bioavailability of drugs in the brain, as well as improving patient compliance and convenience. However, conventional intranasal delivery is limited by rapid mucociliary clearance and poor targeting efffciency. Nano drug delivery systems exhibit unique advantages, such as a high speciffc surface area, adjustable structure and modiffable surfaces, which could improve drug stability, prolong mucosal retention and enhance targeted delivery to the brain. The integration of nose-to-brain targeting strategies with nanotechnology offers a promising approach for efffcient drug delivery to the CNS. This review provides a systematic overview of recent advances in nose-to-brain nano drug delivery systems, focusing on key approaches to enhance delivery efffciency. It aims to offer theoretical guidance for the rational design and clinical translation of such systems.

    Epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the DNA base sequence, primarily through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA. Traditional genotoxicity testing focuses mainly on damage to the DNA sequence itself, making it difffcult to identify potential toxicity risks that do not involve sequence changes but may lead to long-term or transgenerational phenotypic effects. As research into epigenetic regulatory mechanism advances, the importance of epigenetics as a novel target for toxicity assessment has become increasingly evident. This article systematically reviews recently developed methods for detecting epigenetic alterations, including techniques for analyzing DNA methylation, histone post-translational modiffcation, and non-coding RNA. It compares the principles, advantages, and limitations of these methods and discusses their applicability across different application scenarios, providing a reference for selecting appropriate detection strategies in drug safety evaluation and related toxicological studies.

    Small interfering RNA(siRNA) is a programmable gene-silencing therapeutic agent that can specifically downregulate the expression of pathogenic genes through the RNA interference mechanism, thereby exhibiting significant potential in precision therapy for respiratory diseases. In recent years, siRNA agents targeting key pathogenic genes in respiratory diseases have shown promising therapeutic efficacy in disease models such as lung cancer, asthma, COPD, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. However, naked siRNA suffers from several limitations, including poor in vivo stability, high susceptibility to nuclease degradation, low transmembrane delivery efficiency, difficulty in penetrating the pulmonary mucus barrier, and inadequate endosomal escape capability, which severely hinder its clinical translation. To address these challenges, various nanoscale delivery systems, including lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, viral vectors, inorganic nanomaterials, and exosomes, have been developed for the efficient delivery of siRNA to pulmonary lesions. Centered on the “disease - siRNA target - delivery system” framework, this review systematically summarizes the research progress of representative siRNA-based nanoscale delivery systems for respiratory diseases. It critically examines how different nanocarriers influence siRNA delivery efficiency with respect to systemic circulation stability, pulmonary targeting, mucus penetration, cellular uptake, and endosomal escape. Furthermore, it outlines optimization strategies such as passive targeting, ligand modification, stimuli-responsiveness, and biomimetic modification, aiming to provide a reference for further research and clinical translation of siRNA therapeutics for lung-targeted treatment of respiratory diseases.

    Host cell proteins(HCPs) are critical impurities that are difficult to remove completely during biopharmaceutical production. Their residual presence may compromise product safety, efficacy, and stability, while potentially inducing immune responses. Characterized by low abundance, HCPs demand exceptionally high detection sensitivity. Therefore, the precise quantification and rigorous control of HCPs are of paramount importance in biopharmaceutical quality assurance. This paper systematically reviews the current global regulatory status of HCPs, and analyzes the principles, application status, advantages and disadvantages of existing quality control technologies(including traditional detection methods and emerging technologies), providing a more comprehensive framework for HCPs control. Furthermore, it systematically addresses the major challenges encountered in HCPs detection, aiming to establish a theoretical foundation for future research and development of related technologies, as well as for drug regulation.

    A randomized, two-period cross-over design was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of two brands of tofacitinib citrate extended-release tablets in healthy volunteers. Following a single oral dose of the test(T) and reference(R) preparations, plasma concentrations of tofacitinib at different time points were measured using a validated LC-MS/MS method. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of T and R preparations were calculated and listed as follows: under fasting conditions, cmax were (53.84±11.48) and (55.54±13.22)ng/mL, AUC0→t were (379.75±79.20) and (376.76±90.97)ng·h·mL–1 ,AUC0→∞ were (383.30±79.06) and (387.94±82.67)ng·h·mL–1 . Under fed conditions, cmax were (72.09±16.39) and (69.49±16.52)ng/mL,AUC0→t were (385.10±85.75) and (386.83± 89.69)ng·h·mL–1 ,AUC0→∞ were (391.76±87.17) and (391.29±96.47)ng·h·mL–1 . The results showed that under fasting and fed conditions, there were no signiffcant differences in above parameters between T and R preparations(P>0.05). The geometric mean ratios of the main pharmacokinetic parameters for T and R preparations both fell within the 90% confdence interval of 80.00% - 125.00% . No serious adverse events were observed during the study, all reported adverse events were Grade 1 in severity. These results indicated that the T and R preparations were bioequivalent in Chinese healthy volunteers with acceptable safety and tolerability, supporting the potential for domestic substitution of tofacitinib citrate extended-release tablets.

    Taking Xiao’er Qixingcha prescription, Xiaochaihu prescription and Fenghan Ganmao prescription as models, composite particles were prepared from the aqueous extracts of each prescription via co-spray drying technique with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(HP-β-CD) as a modifier. The properties of the spray-dried feed solution, the structure properties, surface free energy and flowability of the obtained composite particles, as well as the compactibility and disintegration time of the tablets were comprehensively characterized. The results showed that compared with the corresponding original extract powders, the yields of the composite particles with HP-β-CD were increased by 4.4% - 11.7%, and their morphology were smoother and more regular. The particle size of the composite particles increased by 17.0% - 25.0% , and the cohesion index, caking strength, dispersive component, and surface free energy decreased by 8.3% - 35.6% , 12.7% - 74.1% , 9.9% - 15.5% , and 2.4% - 4.0% , respectively. The ffowability and compactibility of the composite particles were significantly improved, with the angle of repose, Carr index, Hausner ratio decreased by 3.5% - 5.3% , 4.6% - 9.3% , and 2.5% - 5.1% , respectively. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of the tablets compressed from the composite particles increased by 13.6% - 45.7%, and the disintegration time decreased by 14.6% - 16.2%. This study demonstrates that co-spray drying with HP-β-CD can signiffcantly improve the structure properties, reduce the surface free energy and enhance ffowability of the traditional Chinese medicine powders, and shorten the disintegration time of the tablets. This research can provide some references for the development of the co-processing modiffcation technology of traditional Chinese medicine powders and direct powder compaction technology.

    A series of matrine(1) derivatives were designed and synthesized. Based on the tetracyclic rigid scaffold of 1 as the parent core, structural modifications were carried out by introducing a thione group at the C15 position and installing substituted cinnamamidomethyl or heteroaromatic amidomethyl groups at the C13 position. This strategy yielded twelve novel derivatives(B1 - B9 and E1 - E3), whose structures were fully characterized by ⊃1;H NMR, ⊃1;⊃3;C NMR, and HRMS. The anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 macrophage cells. At a concentration of 12.5 μmol/L, all derivatives inhibited nitric oxide(NO) production more effectively than the parent compound 1[(41.15±0.23)% ]. Notably, compounds B1 - B3 exhibited superior inhibitory activities[(70.40±0.83) % , (71.10±0.69) % and (71.89±0.71) % , respectively]), outperforming the reported positive control 13-methylamino-18-thiomatrine[(64.68±0.39)% ]. Structure-activity relationship analysis suggested that introducing a substituted cinnamamidomethyl moiety at C13 enhanced anti-inflammatory potency. Among them, compound B3 demonstrated strong inhibitory effects on key inflammatory mediators, including NO, IL-6, and TNF-α, indicating its potential as a promising anti-inflammatory lead compound for further development.

    Solvent-free styrene-isoprene-styrene(SIS) block copolymer-based hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive(HMPSA) is commonly used as transdermal patch matrix due to its advantages of environmental protection, high adhesion strength and good drug compatibility. However, the aging problem in its long-term storage and use will lead to problems such as viscosity attenuation and abnormal drug release, which restricts its clinical application and industrialization promotion. This paper mainly introduces the material properties, aging types and mechanisms of solventfree SIS-based HMPSA, systematically summarizes the aging characterization techniques and evaluation methods, and the current commonly used anti-aging strategies. Based on the existing research progress, this paper analyzes the advantages and limitations of different strategies, and puts forward the future research direction, aiming to provide a reference for the development of anti-aging properties of HMPSA for transdermal patches.

    Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride resin complexes(dMPH-DRC) and their sustained-release microcapsules(dMPH-CM) were prepared using ion exchange resin and immersion coating technology. The preparation processes of dMPH-DRC and dMPH-CM were optimized by single factor tests. The results showed that Amberlite ® IRP69 (drug-to-resin mass ratio of 1 ∶ 1.5) exhibited the good drug loading performance. The prepared dMPH-DRC could achieve a drug loading capacity of (37.1±0.4) % and a drug utilization rate of (87.1±0.2) % . X-ray powder diffraction, polarizing light microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analyses revealed that the drug-resin interaction was not merely physical adsorption. The sustained-release effect of dMPH-CM was primarily inffuenced by the coating material type and concentration, drug loading of the drug resin complex and preparation temperature. The optimized sustained-release microcapsules had a drug content of (36.75±0.34) % , an average particle size of (105±5)μm, a continuous and dense coating membrane, and a sustained-release duration of 12 hours. This simple preparation method provides a new approach for developing dexmethylphenidate sustained-release formulations.

    An improved synthetic process of ruxolitinib phosphate(1) was developed. Starting from (4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)methyl pivalate(2) and 1-(1-ethoxyethyl)-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl- 1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole(3), [4-[1-(1-ethoxyethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin- 7-yl]methyl pivalate(5) was prepared via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. Compound 5 was deprotected by hydrochloric acid to afford [4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl]methyl pivalate(6). Subsequent Michael addition of 6 with 3-cyclopentylacrylonitrile(4) furnished the racemic [4-[1-(2-cyano-1-cyclopentylethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]- 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl]methyl pivalate(7). Chiral resolution of 7 using D-(+)-dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid[D-(+)- DBTA] afforded (2S,3S)-2,3-Bis(benzoyloxy)succinate salt of (R)-[4-[1-(2-cyano-1-cyclopentylethyl)- 1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl]methyl pivalate(8). Deprotection and hydrolysis of 8 with sodium hydroxide yielded ruxolitinib(9). Finally, the target product 1 was available from 9 by saliffcation reaction with phosphoric acid and recrystallization. The overall yield was 27% (based on 2), with the purity of 99.89% and the chiral purity of 99.88% , and the maximum single impurity less than 0.1% . The improved process features simple operation and has been veriffed by pilot-scale production, which was suitable for industrial production.

    Heparin is widely used clinically as an anticoagulant drug, with its main source being porcine intestinal mucosa. Due to the impacts of the heparin sodium incident and the African swine fever incident, a supply shortage of porcinederived heparin was once caused. Therefore, the FDA encourages manufacturers to increase the supply of heparin from other sources to mitigate the risk associated with relying on a single source. This paper focuses on bovine-derived heparin, analyzing differences from porcine-derived heparin in relative molecular weight, anticoagulant activity, and chemical structure(including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and tetrasaccharides). And the research progress on the preparation of low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) from bovine-derived heparin is also reviewed. Unfractionated bovine heparin can be directly applied to clinical practice, but due to its lower anticoagulant activity, it requires approximately twice the dose of porcine heparin to achieve the same effect. There are signiffcant differences in structure and anticoagulant activity between bovine LMWH and porcine LMWH. Thus, if bovine LMWH is to be developed as a drug, it may need to be registered in accordance with the standards for new drugs.

    A new synthetic process of iguratimod(1) was reported. Firstly, in the presence of aluminum chloride, the starting material 3-methylsulfonylamino-4-phenoxyphenyl methyl ether(2) reacted with acetyl chloride to generate N-(4-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-phenoxyphenyl)methanesulfonamide(3). Then, the key intermediate N-(3-bromo-4-oxo6-phenoxy-4H-chromen-7-yl)methanesulfonamide(19) was synthesized by the addition-cyclization reaction of N,Ndimethylformamide dimethyl acetal/N-bromosuccinimide and 3. Compound 7 was obtained by amination of 19 with ammonium hydroxide. Finally, 1 was synthesized from 7 by formylation. The yield increased from 27.4% to 33.0% (based on 2), and the HPLC purity of the target 1 reached 99.9% . The new synthetic process has the advantages of short steps, avoiding the use of flammable, explosive, and toxic chemical reagents, and mild reaction conditions, less side reaction, which is suitable for industrial production.

    This study comprehensively evaluated the in vitro pharmaceutical properties and in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of sotalol hydrochloride scored tablets(80 mg). The tablets were split along the score line using manual splitting and a mechanical tablet splitter. The mass loss, weight variation, friability, and stability of the split tablets were systematically investigated. The similarity of dissolution profiles between the self-prepared preparations and the reference preparations(the whole and half tablets) was compared in four different dissolution media. A Beagle dog pharmacokinetic model was established to compare key pharmacokinetic parameters between the whole and half tablets. The results showed that both splitting methods achieved uniform tablet division, with mass loss less than 3.0% , weight variation within 85 % - 115 % , and friability less than 1.0 % . After storage at room temperature for 90 d, the split tablets showed no significant changes in appearance, content, impurities, and dissolution compared to the freshly split tablets. The dissolution profiles of the half tablets were similar to those of the whole tablets. Pharmacokinetic data indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in tmax and t1/2 between the half and whole tablets(P>0.05). The AUC for half tablets was approximately 50% of that for whole tablets. This study demonstrated that the test tablets could be split uniformly. The split tablets maintained stable quality, and the half tablets exhibited in vitro dissolution equivalence and a proportional pharmacokinetic relationship with the whole tablets in vivo, supporting the basis for clinical personalized dosing.
