GCSB-5 preparation is a purified extract from a mixture of 6 medicinal plants(Acanthopanacis Cortex, Achyranthis Radix, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Cibotii Rhizoma, Glycine Semen Nigra, Eucommiae Cortex) that have been widely used for the treatment of various bone disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate HPLC analysis method and screening of standard compound on Saposhnikoviae Radix for quality standardization of a medicinal crude drug GCSB-5. Standard compound of Saposhnikoviae Radix was decided with cimifugin by isolation and instrumental analysis such as NMR. HPLC analysis method for the simultaneous determination of cimifugin was established for the quality control of the medicinal plants of Saposhnikoviae Radix species, GCSB-5 raw material and preparation. And validation of HPLC analysis methods were conformed for verification of HPLC methods by check to specificity, linearity, intra-day precision, inter-day precision and accuracy following ICH guideline.

A novel series of aryl sulfonylpiperazine derivatives (5-15) were synthesized as 5-$HT_6$ ligands. In vitro assay was evaluated by measuring the 5-HT-induced $Ca^{2+}$ increases using HeLa cell line expressing the cloned human 5-$HT_6$ receptor, and the compound 13 showed potent 5-$HT_6$ receptor antagonistic effect with $IC_{50}$ value of 3.9 ${\mu}M$. Compound 13 also showed good selectivity on the 5-$HT_6$ over 5-$HT_4$ and 5-$HT_7$ receptors.

Isolation of the culture broth of a marine-derived Acremonium sp. CNQ-049 guided by HPLC-UV yielded compound 1 (3-phenethyl-2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one), and its inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases (MAOs), cholinesterases (ChEs), and β-secretase 1 (BACE1) were evaluated. Compound 1 was an effective selective MAO-B inhibitor with an IC₅₀ value of 9.39 µM and a selectivity index (SI) value of 4.26 versus MAO-A. In addition, compound 1 showed a potent selective butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition with an IC₅₀ value of 7.99 µM and an SI value of 5.01 versus acetylcholinesterase (AChE). However, compound 1 showed weak inhibitions against MAO-A, AChE, and BACE1. The Ki value of compound 1 for MAO-B was 5.22±1.73 µM with competitive inhibition, and the Ki value of compound 1 for BChE was 3.00±1.81 µM with mixed-type inhibition. Inhibitions of MAO-B and BChE by compound 1 were recovered by dialysis experiments. These results suggest that compound 1 is a dual-functional reversible inhibitor of MAO-B and BChE, that can be used as a treatment agent for neurological disorders.

Dilithiation of 4-(pivaloylamino)pyridine (5) followed by reaction with tetraisopropylthiuram disulfide(TITD) gave rise to 3-(diisopropyldithiocarbamato)-4-(pivaloylamino)pyridine (6). 3-Mercapto-4H-pyrrolopyridine(2) was synthesized from compound 6 by two methods. The first method was that compound 6 was treated with 5M-HCl to form 2-t-butylthiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine (7) and hydrolysed in refluxing 10％ NaOH and solid NaOH to prepare bis(4-amino-3-pyridyl)disulfide (8). And compound 8 was reacted with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran and NaBH$_4$ to afford compound 2. The second method was that compound 6 was hydrolysed with 10％ NaOH and followed to react with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran to form compound 11. And then compound 11 was treated with 20％ ethanolic KOH solution to synthesize compound 2.

Most antineoplastic agents are nonselective in their mechanism of action, affecting noncancerous as well as cancerous cells, and resulting in acute effects such as irritation of mucous membranes and chronic effects such as genotoxicity, teratogenicity, and carcinogenicity. Healthcare workers occupationally exposed to antineoplastic agents are at risk. The present study aimed to develop and apply methods to monitor occupational exposure to antineoplastic agents, using cyclophosphamide (CP) as the model compound. To monitor environmental and biological exposure, potentially contaminated surfaces were wiped and 24 hour urine samples were collected from workers. Liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry was performed, with a limit of detection of 0.05 ng/ml. Measurable amounts of CP were detected on 92% of the sampled surfaces, with a geometric mean of 175.22 $ng/m^2$. Despite the environmental contamination of the model compound, CP was below the detection limit in all urine samples. If workplace contamination cannot be completely avoided, it is importance to reduce exposure to the lowest possible levels. To this aim, efforts to minimize occupational exposure along with biological and environmental monitoring are required. The standardized sampling techniques, and specific and sensitive analytical methods reported in this study may be helpful in assessing occupational exposure and devising strategies to reduce exposure.
