    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    To determine the influence of different high inoculation densities on the expression level and quality of bispecific antibodies and strengthen the cell culture process, bispecific antibody cells were inoculated into a 3 L bioreactor at low, medium and high grades of high inoculation density[containing (10±1)×10 6, (15±1)×10 6 and (20±1)× 10 6 cells per 1 mL, respectively] for fed-batch culture. The influences of different inoculation densities on antibody expression level and quality were evaluated. The results showed that compared with low grade of high inoculation density, the antibody expression levels of the intensified medium or high grade of high inoculation density process increased to 1.43 g/L, and there was no significant difference in antibody quality. Within the same culture period(16 d), on the premise of no influence on antibody quality and reduction of costs, medium grade of high inoculation density should be adopted for inoculation density, and the antibody expression level could be increased to 1.43 g/L, which was an 81% increase compared with the conventional process(0.79 g/L). Subsequently, the intensified medium grade of high inoculation density process was successfully scaled up to a 30 L bioreactor, providing valuable experience for subsequent antibody process development.

    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.

    An HPLC method was established to determine eleven synthetic phosphatidylcholine(PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine(PE) phospholipids. Consideration of the structural characteristics and retention behaviors in chromatography of the phospholipids, C8 chromatography columns with pore sizes of 12 and 15 nm(120 and 150 Å) were connected in series for the first time. The serial sequence was Welch Topsil C8 column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm, 15 nm) at front and Ultimate XB C8 column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm, 12 nm) at back. The analysis was carried out in the gradient elution mode with water-methanol-acetic acid-triethylamine as mobile phase A, and methanol-isopropanol-acetic acidtriethylamine as mobile phase B. The results showed that the minimum separation degree of eleven synthetic PC and PE was 1.0. It was linear for seven synthetic PC phospholipids in the concentration of 0.1 - 1.0 mg/mL, and it was linear for four synthetic PC phospholipids in the concentration of 0.03 - 0.30 mg/mL. RSDs of precision were all less than 2.5 % . And this separation method was successfully applied to the determination of synthesized phospholipids in two types of liposome injections and one excipient.

    Geobacillus stearothermophilus(ATCC 12980)is commonly used to detect the sterilization effect of vaporized hydrogen peroxide. The study mainly discussed the effects of carriers and spore purity on the resistance of biological indicators(BIs) under vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization. The results showed that spore purity was negatively correlated with BIs resistance, poor carrier smoothness could also increase the resistance of BIs. Therefore, when accepting the BIs which used to monitor the vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization, besides the viable spore count, users should pay more attention to the carrier and the purity of the spores.

    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.

    A green and efficient synthetic method of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib(1) was reported in this paper. With p-methylacetophenone(2) and ethyl trifluoroacetate(3) as starting materials, the Claisen condensation was performed with potassium carbonate(98 nm) instead of sodium ethoxide by “one-pot method”. After the Claisen condensation and filtration, the filtrate without purification was cyclized with 4-hydrazinobenzene-1-sulfonamide hydrochloride(5) to obtain the target product 1. The total yield of celecoxib was 86.8% with HPLC purity of 99.65% . The alkali could be recovered by filtration and calcination, and its reuse had little effect on the yield. This green synthetic method has mild conditions, simple operation, short reaction period, good economy, high yield and less environmental pollution, which is suitable for industrial production.

    Traditional small molecule kinase inhibitor drugs face numerous challenges, such as the propensity for drug resistance and the problem that some targets are undruggable. The proteolysis targeting chimera(PROTAC) technology utilizes the inherent ubiquitin-proteasome system in cells to achieve the degradation of proteins of interest(POI) for treating diseases, which can avoid the limitations of undruggable targets and drug resistance. Therefore, the PROTAC technology is expected to overcome the limitations of small molecule inhibitors. At present, some PROTACs have entered the clinical trial stage and are expected to become potential treatment methods for many diseases. This review introduces the biological mechanism, technical advantages, molecular design and clinical application prospects of PROTAC, hoping to provide a reference for its drug development and clinical application.

    The active pharmaceutical ingredient in dry powder inhalers(DPIs) is usually an insulator with a small particle size that tends to exhibit significant electrostatic behavior in the preparation and usage stages of DPIs. It will cause a decrease in the flowability and an increase in adhesion of drug particles, which in turn will affect the content uniformity and the aerodynamic particle size distribution(APSD) after atomization, leading to a decrease in lung deposition and efficacy of drugs. This review introduces the generation of static electricity in DPIs, the influences of static electricity on the blending uniformity and APSD of DPIs and the commonly used methods for evaluating electrostatic potential to provide a reference for subsequent electrostatic research on DPIs.
