PuriPharm Co. Ltd. and Kunming Medical University Collaborate to Achieve Breakthrough in Antidepressant ResearchNovel Nano-Formulation Technology Enhances Efficacy of Tetrahydrocurcumin PuriPharm Co. Ltd. recently announced a significant research breakthrough in collaboration with Associate Professor Guo Ying’s team from the Department of Pharmacology, Kunming Medical University. The study confirms that PuriPharm’s proprietary nano-tetrahydrocurcumin (THCN) demonstrates superior efficacy in improving lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depressive-like behaviors and neuroprotection in mice compared to traditional tetrahydrocurcumin (THC). The findings were published in Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui. Research Highlights ·Enhanced Therapeutic Efficacy: THCN, developed using PuriPharm’s advanced nano-formulation technology, showed superior anti-anxiety effects in long-term administration compared to THC. ·Dual Neuroprotective Mechanisms: THCN alleviated prefrontal cortex demyelination by promoting GFAP expression, while THC mainly exerted its effects through TLR4 pathway inhibition. ·Improved Stability and Bioavailability: The nano-formulation optimized drug delivery, enabling sustained efficacy at a lower dose (10 mg/kg), a critical step toward clinical translation. Technology Value and Collaboration PuriPharm’s nano-formulation platform addresses challenges such as poor solubility and low stability of natural compounds. This collaboration underscores the potential of interdisciplinary research in advancing novel antidepressant therapies. “Our partnership highlights the power of industry-academia collaboration,” said Associate Professor Guo Ying. “THCN offers a promising new approach for depression treatment, and we look forward to further clinical development.” About PuriPharm Co.
