Abstract Aim Lithospermum erythrorhizon and Pueraria lobata exhibit promising potential as cosmetic additives for mitigating skin barrier impairment induced by photoaging. Despite their potential, the precise mechanisms underlying protective ameliorative effects remain elusive. This study sought to assess reparative properties of extracts (LP) on UVB‐irradiated human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) explore therapeutic LP a protection agent. Materials Methods Antioxidant activities were gauged through 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS), reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays. The expression levels barrier‐related markers, encompassing metalloproteinases (MMPs) hyaluronidase (HYAL) scrutinized using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reverse transcriptase (RT)‐PCR, Western blotting, with particular focus involvement transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β/Smad nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) signaling pathways. Results revealed that effectively scavenges free radicals, diminishes ROS production in dose‐dependent manner, significantly attenuates UVB‐induced MMP‐1 MMP‐3 modulation hyaluronan synthase (HAS)2/HYAL1 axis HaCaT cells. Additionally, demonstrated enhanced TGF‐β activation, fostering procollagen type I synthesis, concurrently exhibited mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPK)/NF‐κB inactivation, thereby pro‐inflammatory cytokine release alleviating cellular damage. Conclusion In conclusion, observed constituents highlight its substantial biological shielding against photoaging, positioning it candidate both pharmaceutical applications.

Oxidative stress injury and mitochondrial dysfunction are major obstacles to neurological functional recovery after ischemic stroke. The development of new approaches simultaneously diminish oxidative resist is urgently needed. Inspired by the overproduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) at neuron mitochondria, multifunctional nanoparticles with ROS-responsiveness mitochondrial-targeted (SPNPs) were engineered, achieving specific targeting delivery controllable drug release penumbra. Due nose-to-brain pathway, SPNPs which encapsulated in a thermo-sensitive gel intranasal administration directly delivered penumbra bypassing blood‒brain barrier (BBB) enhancing efficiency. potential for stroke treatment was systematically evaluated

Introduction: Puerarin (PUE) is a natural compound isolated from Puerariae Lobatae Radix, which has neuroprotective effect on IS. We explored the therapeutic and underlying mechanism of PUE cerebral I/R injury by inhibiting oxidative stress related to PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway in vitro vivo. Methods: The middle artery occlusion reperfusion (MCAO/R) rats oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD/R) were selected as models, respectively. was observed using triphenyl tetrazolium hematoxylin-eosin staining. Tunel-NeuN staining Nissl quantify hippocampal apoptosis. reactive oxygen species (ROS) level detected flow cytometry immunofluorescence. Biochemical method detect levels. protein expression Western blotting. Finally, co-immunoprecipitation used study molecular interaction between Keap1 Nrf2. Results:In vivo studies showed that improved neurological deficits rats, well decreased stress. Immunofluorescence indicated release ROS can be inhibited PUE. In addition, blotting results promoted phosphorylation PI3K Akt, enabled Nrf2 enter nucleus, further activated downstream antioxidant enzymes such HO-1. combination with inhibitor LY294002 reversed these results. Nrf2-Keap1 complex dissociation. Discussion: Taken together, activate via PI3K/Akt promote enzyme expression, could ameliorate stress, against I/R-induced Neuron injury.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is recognized as a common refractory orthopedic disease that causes severe pain and poor quality life in patients. Puerarin (Pue), natural isoflavone glycoside, can promote osteogenesis inhibit apoptosis bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), demonstrating its great potential treatment osteonecrosis. However, low aqueous solubility, fast degradation vivo, inadequate bioavailability, limit clinical application therapeutic efficacy. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) are promising novel DNA nanomaterials drug delivery. In this study, tFNAs Pue carriers used synthesized tFNA/Pue complex (TPC) exhibited better stability, biocompatibility, tissue utilization than free Pue. A dexamethasone (DEX)-treated BMSC model vitro methylprednisolone (MPS)-induced ONFH vivo also established, to explore regulatory effects TPC on BMSCs. This findings showed restore dysfunction attenuated induced by high-dose glucocorticoids (GCs) through hedgehog Akt/Bcl-2 pathways, contributing prevention GC-induced rats. Thus, for other osteogenesis-related diseases.

Abstract Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is widely used in clinical practice to treat diseases related central nervous system (CNS) damage. However, the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a significant impediment effective delivery of TCM, thus substantially diminishing its efficacy. Advances nanotechnology and applications TCM (also known as nano‐TCM) can deliver active ingredients or components across BBB targeted brain region. This review provides an overview physiological pathological mechanisms systematically classifies common CNS types nanocarriers that effectively brain. Additionally, drug strategies for nano‐TCMs utilize vivo properties vitro devices bypass cross are discussed. further focuses on application treatment various diseases. Finally, this article anticipates design strategy with higher efficiency probes their potential treating wider range

Puerarin (daidzein-8-C-glucoside), one of the bioactive isoflavones, has attracted attention in various industries due to its excellent pharmacological effects such as antioxidant effect, estrogen-like activity, reduction blood sugar, and neuroprotective effect. is most abundantly found roots Pueraria lobata (RPL) among biomass sources. To improve utilization feasibility puerarin, a high-yield extraction process should be designed for RPL. This study aimed optimize more efficiently recover puerarin from RPL while using generally recognized safe solvents solvents, considering potential industrial applications puerarin. The variables were optimized by one-factor-at-a-time method, response surface methodology, time profiling study. As result, yield was achieved at 60.56 mg/g under optimal conditions (ethanol concentration 46.06%, temperature 65.02 °C, ratio solvent 11.50 mL/g, 22 min). High this contributed improving applicability
