Quantitative NMR (qNMR), particularly 1 H-qNMR, is useful for determining the absolute purity of organic molecules. However, identifying the target signal(s) for quantification is difficult, because of the overlap and complexity of organic molecules. Therefore, we focused on the 31 P nucleus, owing to the simplicity of its signals, and investigated the 31 P-qNMR absolute determination method by using organophosphorus drugs, water-soluble cyclophosphamide hydrate (CP), and water-insoluble sofosbuvir (SOF). The optimized and reproducible 31 P-qNMR conditions, such as qNMR sample preparation [i...

Polysaccharides from Armillaria luteo-virens (ALP) were investigated for structural characterization and immunomodulatory activities. Three fractions (ALP-1, ALP-2, and ALP-3) were obtained with the yield of 2.4, 3.7, and 3.0 wt %, respectively. ALP-1 was proposed as a β-(1 → 3)(1 → 6)-glucan with a triple-helix conformation; ALP-2 and ALP-3 were both identified as α-(1 → 4)(1 → 6)-glucan differing in their M w and branching degree with a spherical conformation. The in vitro digestibility experiment and in vivo experiments using cyclophosphamide (CY)-treated mice demonstrated that intraperitoneal injection of α-glucan (1 mg·kg-1 ·day-1 ) and intragastric gavage of β-glucan (10 mg·kg-1 ·day-1 ) both effectively restored the decrease in body weight, immune organ indexes, immune cell activities, serum immune marker levels, colonic short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) levels, and Bacteroidetes / Firmicutes ratio in immunosuppression mice...

INTRODUCTION: Maintaining safe working environments for health care personnel, especially for those who regularly handle hazardous drugs (HDs), is of utmost importance. Studies have shown that when closed system transfer devices (CSTDs) are used with standard open barrel syringes, cyclophosphamide (CP), a commonly used HD, is transferred to the syringe plunger during compounding or administration processes. This contamination can then be transferred to the work environment, endangering workers...

Dose-dense chemotherapy is the preferred first-line therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. This treatment uses the same drug doses as conventional chemotherapy but with shorter dosing intervals, allowing for promising clinical outcomes with intensive treatment. However, the frequent systemic administration used for this treatment results in systemic toxicity and low patient compliance, limiting therapeutic efficacy and clinical benefit. Here, we report local dose-dense chemotherapy to treat TNBC by implanting 3D printed devices with time-programmed pulsatile release profiles...

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is an isoenzyme that catalyzes the conversion of aldehydes to acids. However, the overexpression of ALDH1A1 in a variety of malignancies is the major cause of resistance to an anti-cancer drug, cyclophosphamide (CP). CP is a prodrug that is initially converted into 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide and its tautomer aldophosphamide, in the liver. These compounds permeate into the cell and are converted as active metabolites, i.e. , phosphoramide mustard (PM), through spontaneous beta-elimination...
