“LIGHT IN AND SOUND OUT”: REVIEW OF PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE


Biotransformation of furanocoumarins by Cunninghamella elegans

Services Biotransformation of Furanocoumarins; psoralen (1), bergapten (2), xanthotoxin (3) and imperatorin (4) was explored by Cunninghamella elegans NRRL 1392, revealing the metabolism of psoralen (1) and bergapten (2) into bergaptol (5), while xanthotoxin (3) and imperatorin (4) were converted into xanthotoxol (6).On the other hand unexpected co

Inhibition of P-glycoprotein by HIV protease inhibitors increases intracellular accumulation of berberine in murine and human macrophages.

BackgroundHIV protease inhibitor (PI)-induced inflammatory response in macrophages is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.We have previously reported that berberine (BBR), a traditional herbal medicine, prevents HIV PI-induced inflammatory response through inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in macrophages.We also found that HI
