    Abstract Crotamine, one of the major toxins present in the venom of the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus, exhibits potent cytotoxic properties and has been suggested for cancer therapy applications. However, its selectivity for cancer cells needs to be improved. This study designed and produced a novel recombinant immunotoxin, HER2(scFv)-CRT, composed of crotamine and single-chain Fv (scFv) derived from trastuzumab targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). The recombinant immunotoxin was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using various chromatographic techniques. The cytotoxicity of HER2(scFv)-CRT was assessed in three breast cancer cell lines, demonstrating enhanced specificity and toxicity in HER2-expressing cells. These findings suggest that the crotamine-based recombinant immunotoxin has the potential to expand the repertoire of recombinant immunotoxin applications in cancer therapy.

    Abstract Butterbur (Petasites japonicus (Siebold & Zucc.) Maxim) leaves are available to consumers in the marketplace, but there is no guarantee that they are safe for human consumption. Previously, we demonstrated that hot water extracts of P. japonicus leaves (KP-1) had anti-inflammatory properties and attenuated memory impairment. However, data regarding KP-1 toxicity are lacking. This study assessed the safety of KP-1 by examining oral and genotoxic effects using in vivo and in vitro tests, respectively. In a single oral dose toxicity and two-week repeated oral dose toxicity study, we observed no toxicologically significant clinical signs or changes in hematology, blood chemistry, and organ weights at any dose during the experiment. Following a thirteen-week repeated oral dose, toxicity, hyperkeratosis, and squamous cell hyperplasia of the limiting ridge in the stomach were observed. The no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) was found to be 1250 mg/kg/day in male and female rats. However, hyperkeratosis and hyperplasia were not considered to be of toxicological significance when extrapolating the NOAEL to humans because the limiting ridge in the stomach is species-specific to rats. Therefore, in our study, the NOAEL was considered to be 5000 mg/kg/day when the changes in the stomach’s limiting ridge were discounted. Moreover, in vitro bacterial reverse mutations and chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells and the in vivo micronucleus in Institute of cancer research (ICR) mice assays showed that KP-1 possessed no mutagenicity. Although additional research is required, these toxicological evaluations suggest that KP-1 could be safe for human consumption.

    Abstract Neuroinflammation, which is mediated by microglia that release various inflammatory cytokines, is a typical feature of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Hence, alleviating neuroinflammation by downregulating pro-inflammatory action, and upregulating anti-inflammatory action of microglia is an efficient therapeutic target for NDDs. In this study, we evaluated whether trichosanthis semen (TS), a dried ripe seed of

    Abstract Flowers of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch (Rosaceae), known as peach blossoms, have been reported to exert anti-obesity effects by improving hepatic lipid metabolism in obese mice. However, little is known regarding the anti-adipogenic effects of the phenolic compounds isolated from P. persica flowers. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of compounds extracted from P. persica flowers (PPF) on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 murine preadipocytes using adipogenic differentiation assays. Additionally, we compared the anti-adipogenic effects of the phenolic compounds isolated from PPF, such as prunasin amide (1), amygdalin amide (2), prunasin acid (3), mandelamide (4), methyl caffeate (5), ferulic acid (6), chlorogenic acid (7), benzyl α-l-xylpyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-glucopyranoside (8), prunin (9), naringenin (10), nicotiflorin (11), astragalin (12), afzelin (13), and uridine (14), on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 murine preadipocytes. PPF and compounds 4-7 and 10 significantly inhibited adipogenesis. Among them, mandelamide (4) exhibited the maximum inhibitory activity with an IC

    Abstract With the increasing utilisation of artificial intelligence, there is a renewed demand for the development of novel neuromorphic computing owing to the drawbacks of the existing computing paradigm based on the von Neumann architecture. Extensive studies have been performed on memristors as their electrical nature is similar to those of biological synapses and neurons. However, most hardware-based artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been developed with oxide-based memristors owing to their high compatibility with mature complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes. Considering the advantages of conductive-bridging random-access memories (CBRAMs), such as their high scalability, high on-off current with a wide dynamic range, and low off-current, over oxide-based memristors, extensive studies on CBRAMs are required. In this review, the basics of operation of CBRAMs are examined in detail, from the formation of metal nanoclusters to filament bridging. Additionally, state-of-the-art experimental demonstrations of CBRAM-based artificial synapses and neurons are presented. Finally, CBRAM-based ANNs are discussed, including deep neural networks and spiking neural networks, along with other emerging computing applications. This review is expected to pave the way toward further development of large-scale CBRAM array systems.
