benzofurans and tetrandrine

Cerebral infarction (CI) is the mayor reason of death in China. Reperfusion is the only immediate treatment for acute cerebral infarction. However, blood reperfusion recovery may cause ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Tetrandrine (TTD) and 3-n-Butylphthalide (NBP) on cerebral I/R injury.. I/R was used to establish CI model

Tetradrine-tashionone II(A)-PLGA composite microspheres were prepared by the SPG membrane emulsification method, and the characterization of tetradrine-tashionone II(A) -PLGA composite microspheres were studied in this experiment. The results of IR, DSC and XRD showed that teradrine and tashionone II(A) in composite microspheres were highly dispersed in the PLGA with amorphous form. The results of tetradrine-tashionone II(A) -PLGA composite microspheres in vitro release experiment showed that the cumulative release amounts of tetradrine and tashionone II(A) were 6.44% and 3.60% in 24 h, and the cumulative release amounts of tetradrine and tashionone II(A) were 89.02% and 21.24% in 17 d. The process of drug in vitro release accorded with the model of Riger-Peppas. Tetradrine-tashionone II(A) -PLGA composite microspheres had slow-release effect, and it could significantly reduce the burst release, prolong the therapeutic time, decrease the dosage of drugs and provide a new idea and method to prepare traditional Chinese medicine compound.
