Background Lidocaine has been widely used as a short-acting local anesthetic agent to reduce the pain caused by needle insertion. Dissolving microneedles (DMNs), which are minimally invasive, can effectively deliver drugs overcoming oral mucosal barrier and relieving patient discomfort.Methods solution prepared mixing lidocaine-HCl hyaluronic acid was fabricate lidocaine HCl-encapsulated DMNs (oral Li-DMNs) via centrifugal lithography. The dissolution, penetration ability, transmucosal drug...

Bisphenol F is a substitute material for bisphenol A and widely used in household products as raw polycarbonate resin, epoxy plastic reinforcement. It known to be mainly food containers, thermal paper receipts, coatings water pipes. In some countries, has been detected drinking human urine samples. However, due the lack of safety evaluation data on F, it difficult establish appropriate guidelines proper use substance, social anxiety increasing accordingly. This study investigated use,...

Here, we report a bienzymatic cascade to produce β-amino acids as an intermediate for the synthesis of leading oral antidiabetic drug, sitagliptin. A whole-cell biotransformation using recombinant Escherichia coli coexpressing esterase and transaminase were developed, wherein desired expression level each enzyme was achieved by promotor engineering. The small-scale reactions (30 ml) performed under optimized conditions at varying amounts substrate (100-300 mM) resulted in excellent...

Wild ginseng has better pharmacological effects than cultivated ginseng. However, its industrialization is limited by the inability to grow wild on a large scale. Herein, we demonstrate how optimize production through cultivation, and enhance concentrations of specific ginsenosides fermentation. In study, also evaluated ability fermented cultured root extract (HLJG0701-β) inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), as well neuroprotective antioxidant activity.

This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of Dendropanax morbifera leaves and stems (DMLS) water extract on scopolamine (SCO)-induced memory impairment in mice. First, we conducted experiments to determine protective effect DMLS neuronal cells. Treatment with showed a significant against neurotoxicity induced by Aβ(25–35) or H2O2. After confirming DMLS, animal studies. We administered orally at concentrations 125, 250, 375 mg/kg for 3 weeks. In Y-maze test, SCO decreased...

Bisphenol F (BPF) is classified as a harmful substance by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Although previous studies focused on human exposure to BPF via direct consumption or inhalation, few investigators assessed potential toxicological effects following skin contact. The aim of this study was examine (1) degree and pattern which absorbed onto in vivo, (2) determination toxicity safety using tests: acute dermal; 28-day repeat irritation; an eye sensitization. As indicated amount...
