Marein Reverses ABCG2-Mediated Drug Resistance
2026-08-18
The 2024 Biochemical Pharmacology study identifies marein, a flavonoid from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt, as a competitive inhibitor of the ABCG2 drug-efflux transporter. By increasing intracellular exposure to ABCG2 substrates including Mitoxantrone, topotecan, and olaparib, marein restored drug sensitivity in resistant cancer-cell models and established a mechanistic framework for studying transporter-mediated chemotherapy failure.

Nose-to-Brain Rotigotine Nanoparticles in Parkinson’s
2026-08-15
Bhattamisra and colleagues developed rotigotine-loaded chitosan nanoparticles for intranasal nose-to-brain delivery and evaluated their neuronal uptake, safety, and pharmacological effects in SH-SY5Y cells and haloperidol-treated rats. The findings support a formulation-based strategy for improving brain delivery while providing preliminary evidence of antioxidant, neuroprotective, and antiparkinsonian activity.

Trilaurin: Protocol Parameters and QC Guide
2026-08-13
Trilaurin, also called Glycerol Tridodecanoate, provides a water-insoluble triacylglycerol C12 matrix for lipid formulation, enzymatic synthesis, and selected biomedical workflows. It is appropriate for solid lipid systems and organic-solvent preparation, but not for aqueous-only methods or prolonged storage as a solution.

Pentoxifylline and TLR4 Signaling in Preterm Monocytes
2026-08-12
Schüller et al. show that pentoxifylline suppresses LPS-driven inflammatory activation in monocytes from preterm and term infants, with particularly strong effects on TLR4 expression, cytokine release, and selected surface markers in preterm cells. The study provides a useful age-stratified in vitro framework for evaluating immunomodulation in neonatal sepsis while highlighting the limits of translating whole-blood findings to clinical treatment.
