    Alfentanil is a synthetic fentanyl derivative acting on μ opioid receptors. It is a short-acting strong analgesic.  Compared with similar anesthetic drugs such as fentanyl and sufentanil, alfentanil had the lowest titer, the fastest effect, and shorter action time. The effect reached the peak 1.4 min after intravenous injection, and the maintenance time was 10-15 min. The distribution volume was small, which was in line with the three-compartment model, and was excreted through urine after liver metabolism inactivation.  Alfentanil, one of the earliest drugs in the fentanyl family, has been widely used in analgesia, sedation, anti-anxiety, induction and maintenance of anesthesia. In recent years, the use of alfentanil has tended to be short procedure, daytime surgery, reserved breathing, and outpatient anesthesia. With the recent successful development of domestic alfentanil and its gradual application in anesthesia, alfentanil is expected to become a new choice for clinical analgesia, but its clinical application experience and related studies are very limited at present. In this paper, the pharmacological characteristics of alfentanil and its application at home and abroad were reviewed in order to provide reference for the rational clinical application of alfentanil.

    In order to improve the efficacy or reduce the side effects, the combination of two or more drugs is often used in clinical practice, which often brings new medication problems that change the process or efficacy of a drug in vivo due to combination. This article reviews the clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) researches of 44 novel molecular entities which were approved to be launched in China from January 2000 to March 2021. Among them, clinical DDI trials based on test drugs as substrates of the metabolic enzymes (11/44) especially as the substrates of CYP3A4 (7/11) are dominant. The results show that most of test drugs were CYP3A4 substrates with a moderate or lower sensitivity, and no highly sensitive substrates were found. The second is the clinical DDI trials based on synergy or reducing side effects, which mainly focus on the fields of tumors, diabetes, and viral infections, and these studies have not shown pharmacokinetic interactions with clinical significance. The DDI trials of test drugs as metabolic enzyme modulators account for 7/44. And transporter-based DDI trials are relatively rare and most of them are in vitro studies. With the in-depth study of drug metabolism/transport mechanisms in vivo and in vitro, especially the development of clinical trials of radioisotope-labeled drugs and computer simulations, the overall level of DDI research in China is gradually improving, which will provide a solid scientific foundation to ensure drug safety.

    Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and ultimately fatal chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by a progressive decline in lung function, and current treatment options are limited. cAMP is one of the most important second messengers and plays a key role in relaxing airway smooth muscle cells and reducing inflammation. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is a superfamily of enzymes, and PDE4 enzymes dominate 11 PDE super-family enzymes, available in four isoforms-PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C and PDE4D, which selectively decompose cAMP, while PDE4 inhibitors increase cAMP levels by preventing cAMP from breaking down, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, anti-remodeling effects and providing an attractive drug target for the treatment of IPF. This review summarizes knowledge about the association of pulmonary fibrosis with PKE4, as well as emerging preclin-ical studies and clinical trials regarding PDE4 inhibitors.

    Heart failure is the terminal stage of all kinds of heart diseases. Despite the use of a variety of traditional drug standard treatment, the prognosis is still not ideal, and there is an urgent need for the update and improvement of new drugs and treatment methods. In recent years, angiotensin receptor-enkephalase inhibitors (Sacubitril/Valsartan), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i), soluble guanoside cyclase agonists (Vericiguat) and myocardial myosin activators omecamtiv mecarbil have been developed successively. SGLT2 inhibitors can improve ventricular load, reduce fibrosis and affect myocardial metabolism. sGC agonists play an anti-heart failure role by enhancing l-ARg-No-SGC-CGMP signaling pathway, improving myocardial and vascular function, reversing ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis, slowing ventricular remodeling, and reducing ventricular afterload through systemic and pulmonary vasodilation. In addition, fineridone, a novel salt corticosteroid receptor antagonist, has also been reported in clinical studies in the field of heart failure. Therefore, it is the direction and hope for the development of heart failure in the future to select appropriate drugs for different types of patients with heart failure and carry out individualized treatment according to the optimized process of heart failure.

    Polysaccharide drugs are a type of safe and effective natural drug with a wide range of pharmacological activity such as anti-tumor, immunomodulation, and oxidation, and polysaccharide drugs are currently more concerned. However, since the molecular weight of the polysaccharide is quite large, most of which do not have ultraviolet absorption and fluorescent groups, which makes the qualitative and quantitative analysis of polysaccharides are relatively difficult. In addition, endogenous sugar substances may also cause certain interference to polysaccharide assay in biological samples, and therefore, in vivo metabolism and PK/PD key technologies in polysaccharide drugs have been research hotspots. This paper summarizes the relevant literature published in recent years, reviewing the biological activity and pharmacokinetics of polysaccharide drugs, proposing gut bacteria may be potential "organ" affecting metabolism and efficacy of polysaccharide drugs, and providing thoughts on gut bacteria mediating polysaccharide drugs in vivo and key technology research of PK/PD, in order to provide more scientific ideas for pharmacokinetics, pharmacological research and molecular mechanisms of polysaccharide drugs.

    Bacterial β-glucuronidases (BGUSs) are an important type of hydrolase produced by gut microbiota and play an important role in tumor development and chemotherapy by deconjugating a large number of endogenous and exogenous glucuronides. In recent years, BGUSs inhibition has emerged as a promising approach to reduce cancer risk and alleviate gastrointestinal toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. However, a growing body of evidence underlines great genetic and structural diversity, functional promiscuity, and varied inhibition propensity of BGUSs, which have posed enormous challenges to identifying BGUSs involved in a specific pathophysiological or pharmacological process and developing effective inhibitors. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in structure and function of BGUSs and review the findings of BGUSs-mediated carcinogen reactivation and deconjugation of chemotherapy drugs in recent years, as well as the discovery of BGUSs inhibitors and preclinical investigation of their applications in cancer prevention and drug therapy. Finally, we discuss the prospects of BGUSs inhibition as a new strategy for tumor prevention and drug therapy.

    As a chronic, immune-mediated in-flammatory disease, plaque psoriasis has a great burden of disease and influences on patient's physi-cal and mental health. In the past decade, plaque psoriasis treatment with biological agents achieved breakthrough development, while oral drugs with promising efficacy and safety are yet to be met. By cell signal transduction, the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway plays an important role in numerous immune-relat-ed diseases. Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a member of the JAK family, can impact on plaque psoriasis by regulating signaling and functional responses down-stream of IL-12, IL-23, IFN. Deucravacitinib, a highly selective TYK2 inhibitor, has finished its phase 3 clinical trials and shown its efficacy and safety in treatment of plaque psoriasis. Several kinds of TYK2 inhibitors are under research and develop-ment at the moment. In this review, we demon-strate roles of JAK-STAT pathway and TYK2 in plaque psoriasis as well as updates on ongoing and recently completed trials of TYK2 inhibitors.

    AIM: To analyze the chemical ingredients of Qingxin-zishen prescription decoction (QZPD) and predict its main pharmacodynamic substances and mechanism in the prevention and treatment of menopause syndrome (MPS) with the help of high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF/MS) combined with network pharmacology. METHODS: The chemical ingredients of QZPD were identified after analyzing the retention time, exact mass, secondary mass spectrometry fragmentation and other information obtained from HPLC-Q-TOF/MS and comparing them with the established chemical ingredients database and the literatures. The targets of ingredients in QZPD were predicted by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and SwissTargetPrediction database. The disease targets of MPS were obtained through Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and GeneCards Database. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of potential targets were analyzed with the Metascape database. Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct the network of active components-key targets-pathways. AutoDockTools 4.2.5 software was applied in the molecular docking verification between the key active components and key targets. RESULTS: A total of 83 components were identified in QZPD and 847 drug targets were predicted. After intersection them with 3 050 disease targets, 395 common targets were obtained. After network topology analysis, 74 key targets were obtained, involving mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and other signaling pathways. Molecular docking analysis results indicated that 23 key active components, such as berberine, epiberberine, coptisine, geissoschizine methyl ether, liensinine, norcoclaurine, palmatine, quercetin, and luteolin, had good binding activity with several of the key targets. CONCLUSION: This study preliminarily identifies the potential effective chemical ingredients of QZPD, predicts its targets in the prevention and treatment of MPS, which provides supporting information for the further study of the pharmacodynamic substances and mechanisms of QZPD.

    AIM: To explore the effects of inflammatory conditions on the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate (MTX) and its related mechanisms.  METHODS: The model of adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) was established. The expression of organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) in kidney was detected by immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and QPCR. The plasma concentration of MTX was detected by LC-MS/MS, and the pharmacokinetics of MTX after different administration time were compared by isolated rat kidney perfusion, kidney slices, in vitro cell uptake and transport experiments. RESULTS: The expression of OAT3 was significantly increased in the kidneys of AIA rats by immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and QPCR. At the same time, the concentration of MTX was detected by the optimized LC-MS/MS. The results showed that the uptake of MTX in the kidney slices of AIA rats was significantly increased, and Pro could reduce the excretion of MTX by inhibiting OAT3. Furthermore, it was demonstrated in vitro that inflammatory pathology can promote renal excretion of MTX by increasing the expression and functional activity of OAT3.CONCLUSION: Under inflammatory pathological conditions, it can increase the expression of OAT3 in the kidney, enhance its functional activity, accelerate the uptake of MTX by the kidney, and promote the excretion of MTX.

    NONMEM. is a software widely used in the field of population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, mainly for related data analy-sis. In theory, it mainly establishes a parameterized model, combines the obtained data, and uses dif-ferent parameter estimation methods to estimate the parameters in the model, and then analyzes the data according to the model. This paper briefly introduces the representation of parameterized models in NONMEM., and from statistical theory, summarizes three commonly used parameter esti-mation methods under the condition that the ran-domization effect parameters η and .do not inter-act. For nonlinear mixed effects models, the rela-tionships among three parameter estimation meth-ods are given under special cases of addictive intra-individual models and proportional intra-individual models. In addition, through numerical experi-ments on data of four pharmaceutical companies on the change of ibuprofen drug concentration with time, the rationality of theory is further veri-fied in terms of calculation time and model predic-tion residuals.

    Frostbite is a tissue injury that occurs when the body is exposed to extreme cold. Its path-ological mechanism is complex and has not been ful-ly elucidated. In high cold and high altitude areas, outdoor sports people have a high risk of injury, and severe frostbite has high disability and mortality. Ex-ploring the pathological mechanism of frostbite is helpful to determine the treatment methods and timing. At present, the clinical treatment of frostbite is mainly symptomatic treatment, such as drug treatment and surgical treatment, but the curative effect can not meet the clinical needs. Therefore, it is of great significance to seek more efficient drugs or treatment methods. This article reviews the rele-vant research progress in pathophysiological mecha-nism, clinical treatment, cellular and molecular path-ways of frostbite in recent years, in order to provide new ideas for future research and clinical treatment.

    Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) was first identified from white hellebore (Veratrum grandiflorum) root and began to attract interest when its presence in red wine and cardiovascular activities were reported, leading to speculation of its contribution to the 'French paradox'. Besides the cardiovascular protection, potential health benefits of resveratrol include calorie restriction-like effects, cancer prevention and adjunctive therapy, and neuroprotection. In order to achieve translational applications of these potential benefits, pharmacokinetic research was performed for plasma pharmacokinetics and related disposition of orally dosed resveratrol. This paper summarizes the known human pharmacokinetic characteristics of resveratrol after oral administration and various attempts to improve its systemic exposure level from the perspectives of systemic exposure and in vivo process. However, available pharmacokinetic data of resveratrol has raised conundrums that limit translating potential benefits to clinics: (1) differences between the unchanged resveratrol used in bioactivity studies and its major circulating forms (i.e., metabolites) after dosing; (2) resveratrol's test concentrations used to exert in vitro bioactivities related to the benefits significantly higher than the compound's clinically achievable concentrations; (3) resveratrol's concentrations achievable (estimated from the pharmacokinetics) from doses used to produce in vivo efficacy significantly lower than the effective concentrations found in studies of related action mechanism (suggesting unreliability of test mechanism). In the last part of this review, we provide recommendations for future pharmacokinetic investigations of resveratrol, including a more systematic investigation of systemic exposure to resveratrol metabolites, their access to in vivo loci responsible for the benefits, and their disposition in target cells; an investigation of colon-luminal exposure to resveratrol and its metabolites for accessing colonic microbiota; and a multi-compound pharmacokinetic investigation of red wine.

    Malignant tumors of digestive system are highly prevalent malignant tumors that seriously threaten human health around the world. At present, the curative efficacy and prognosis of traditional treatment methods cannot reach the expectation, so it is urgent to find new targets for cancer treatment and realize targeted therapy for tumors. Abnormal energy metabolism in tumor  cells is regarded as a hallmark of cancer, and malignant tumor cells absorb glucose through aerobic glycolysis pathway, and obtain a small amount of energy and produce lactate under the catalysis of a series of enzymes. Lactate dehydrogenase A (Lactate dehydrogenase A, LDHA), as a key enzyme in the aerobic glycolysis pathway of tumor cells, plays an important role in the metabolic changes of tumor cells. Studies have demonstrated that LDHA has high expression characteristics in a variety of tumor cells,and its high expression in clinic is often related to the poor prognosis and high metastasis rate of tumors, which is expected to be a new target for cancer therapy. This article reviews the role of LDHA in the development of digestive system tu- mors and the research progress of related drugs.

    Fever is a sign of infection and inflammatory diseases in the body. Persistent high fever will lead to cell degeneration, causing multiple organ dysfunction, and seriously affecting brain nerve and tissue function. Although the fever process is common and ordinary, its pathological mechanism involves multiple signaling pathways, such as nuclear transcription factor κB signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway. A large number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine compound and its active components can reduce serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) and hypothalamic thermoregulatory mediators (PGE2, cAMP), inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway, and effectively inhibit the pathological increase of body temperature. This paper summarizes the relevant literature in PubMed and CNKI database, and systematically expounds the active components of traditional Chinese medicine and the antipyretic effect of compound prescription, in order to provide theoretical basis and research ideas for the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of fever and the excavation of new anti-fever drugs.
