Hydrogel Use in Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a vascular disease of unknown etiology and can be categorized mainly into two types: non-traumatic and traumatic ONFH. Understanding osteogenic–angiogenic coupling is crucial for developing solutions for ONFH treatment. Hydrogels, due to their extracellular matrix (ECM)-like properties, have gained popularity for their ability to retain water,...

Electrochemical Synthesis of the In Human S-oxide Metabolites of Phenothiazine-Containing Antipsychotic Medications

Abstract

The tractable preparation of Phase I drug metabolites is a critical step to understand the first-pass behaviour of novel chemical entities (NCEs) in drug discovery. In this study, we have developed a structure–electroactivity relationship (SeAR)-informed electrochemical reaction of the parent 2-chlorophenothiazine and the ...
