Paclitaxel is one of the most effective broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancers.However,its clinical application has been limited due to its poor water solubility.Its current clinical administration results in serious side effects and has undesired pharmacokinetics and biodistribution.Therefore,it is need to develope alternate drug delivery systems of paclitaxel to enhance its solubility,permeability and stability,furthermore to promote a sustained,controlled and targeted delivery.Hyaluronic acid as the carrier of drug delivery system can solve the problems.Hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel nanoparticles have high anticancer efficiency in drug encapsulation and tumor cellular uptake,due to their appropriate size,surface modification and interaction with CD44.This review focuses on recent applications of hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel nanoparticles in a variety of malignant tumors.

OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-inflammation effects of cacumen biotae water decoction on mice with auricle and ab-dominal inflammation. METHODS:Mice were randomized into a normal control group,a model group,a positive control group (0.25 g/L aspirin)and cacumen biotae high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose [1,0.5 and 0.25 g(medicinal materials)/L] groups, respectively marked as groups A,B,C,D,E and F,with 10 mice in each group. The mice were given drugs ig for 5 consecutive days. The models of auricle and abdominal inflammation were established for all groups except the normal control group. The con-tents of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and interleukin 1(IL-1)in the serum of mice with auricle inflammation were determined, and the swelling degree and swelling rate were calculated. The contents of TNF-α,IL-1 and acid-sensing ion channels 1a(ASIC1a) in the liver tissues of mice with abdominal inflammation and the concentration of proteins in the peritoneal lavage fluid(ΔA)there-of were detected. RESULTS:For mouse models of auricle inflammation,the contents of TNF-α and IL-1 in serum in group B were higher than in group A;the swelling degree and swelling rate and the contents of TNF-α and IL-1 in groups C,D,E and F were lower than in group B,and those of group E and F were higher than in group C. There were statistical differences(P<0.05). For mouse models of abdominal inflammation,the contents of TNF-α,IL-1 and ASIC1a in liver tissues and ΔA in group B were higher than in group A;the contents of TNF-α,IL-1 and ASIC1a as well as ΔA in groups C,D,E and F were lower than in group B. There were statistical differences(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cacumen biotae water decoction has anti-effect on acute auricle and abdominal inflammation by a mechanism which may be related to decreasing TNF-α,IL-1 and ASIC1a.

Small molecule covalent inhibitors, or called as irreversible inhibitors, are a type of inhibitors that exert their biological functions by irreversibly binding to target through covalent bonds. Compared with non-covalent inhibitors, covalent inhibitors have obvious advantages in bioactivity. Nevertheless, these agents may also exhibit larger toxicity once off-target effects arise. This "double-edged swords" property often leads drug researchers to avoid attaching them. In recent years, some problems such as drug resistance are difficult to be solved with reversible inhibitors leading researchers to pay more attention on the covalent inhibitors. In this review, we shall make a short summary to the recent research progress of covalent inhibitors and the interaction modes between covalent inhibitors and their target protein residues.
