An anti-influenza virus compound, Gibberellin B
Isatis Radix, also known as the big blue heel, is the dried root of the plant woad or big blue-green, which can be used clinically for influenza, mumps, chickenpox, and measles.
The liver is the leading site of drug metabolism, and applying the liver microsomal model allows for metabolite analysis studies of drugs. Drug metabolite analysis has evolved rapidly to become an essential part of pharmacokinetic studies.
According to a study reported on the internet, it was found that based on the systematic screening of the active antiviral ingredients of radix isatidis, straight heliotropin B was the most abundant compound among the 31 compounds isolated from the aqueous extract of radix isatidis, and compound activity testing studies showed that it had significant antiviral and antioxidant activities.
Therefore, the lignan compound Gibberellin B contained in Isatidis Radix no toginseng is one of the critical active substance bases of Isatidis Radix no toginseng against viruses.
Larcholin-4,4'-di-O-β-D-diglucoside was the most abundant lignan-like compound isolated from the active antiviral site of Isatidis Radix no toginseng, accounting for about 2% of the active site and 0.04% of the raw drug amount.
In vitro anti-HSV viral activity showed some inhibitory effect on HSV-1 and HSV-2 type viruses. Moreover, it has been reported in the literature that Clemastanin B has antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity, has a superoxide dismutase-like effect and has a significant protective effect on cells.
In vitro metabolism studies of nematocysts B in human liver microsomes have been carried out, providing an essential basis for the preclinical evaluation of the efficacy of this compound. Because of the chemical stability of Clemastanin B, the study can be directly used to determine the content of Clemastanin B in Isatidis Radixquinquefolium by HPLC showed that the determination of Clemastanin B content can be used as a quality control method for Isatidis Radixquinquefolium granules.
1，Study on the metabolism of straight heliotrope in B in human-derived liver microsomal incubation system
Compared with traditional liquid chromatography techniques, LC-MS/MS has the advantages of high sensitivity, high throughput, and high accuracy and is widely used in drug metabolite analysis studies. Our Pharmacokinetics Lab has passed the GLP certification by NMPA. Following the guiding principles of ICH, NMPA and FDA. The lab offers in vivo and in vitro pharmacokinetic tests according to the needs of our clients and provides them with complete sets of pharmacokinetic evaluation and optimization services.
One investigator has applied a human-derived liver microsomal incubation system to investigate the in vitro metabolism of Clemastanin B. The method involves co-incubating Clemastanin B with human liver microsomes, processing the samples by protein precipitation, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the metabolites by LC-MS/MS. Chromatographic conditions: PhenomenexLunaC18 column (100 mm×2.0 mm, five μm); mobile phase: acetonitrile (containing 0.1% formic acid)-water (containing 0.1% formic acid), gradient elution; flow rate 400 μL-min-1; injection volume 10 μL. Mass spectrometry conditions: electrospray ionization source, negative ion mode detection.
The results revealed that straight heliotrope in B (compound 1) could be metabolized to larixenol-4-O-β-D-glucoside (compound 2) and larixenol-4′-O-β-D-glucoside (compound 3) in the human liver particulate incubation system.
Therefore, it was found that in the incubation system of human liver particles, Clemastanin B could be partially metabolized to compound 2 with more vigorous anti-influenza activity, suggesting that the anti-influenza efficacy may be exerted in vivo through both the prototype and the active metabolite, providing an essential basis for the evaluation of the effectiveness of this compound.
2，The determination of straight iron Clemastanin B content can be used as a method for quality control of Isolariciresinol
The two compounds, Clemastanin B and Isorubicin, are lignan compounds isolated in relatively large amounts from the active antiviral parts of Isatidis Radix no toginseng, and some researchers have used high-performance liquid chromatography to determine their contents, which provides a basis for the quality evaluation of Isatidis Radix no toginseng.
To establish a method for determining the content of the active antiviral components of Isatidis Radixquinquefolium granules, Gibberellin B, and Isorubicin, the researchers used high-performance liquid chromatography[2]. The results showed good linearity with peak areas in the ranges of 0.1472 μg~1.7664 μg and 0.0608 μg~0.3648 μg for Clemastanin B and idarubicin, respectively, with r of 0.9999 and 0.9991, and the average recoveries of 95.76% and 97.94% with RSD of 2.76% and 1.69%, respectively. The method is simple, sensitive, and reliable in terms of results. It can be used as a quantitative method for the quality control of Isolariciresinol by analyzing the components of straight heliotropic B and idarubicin in different batches of Isolariciresinol from other manufacturers.
Isatidis Radix no toginseng has high clinical application value and is mainly used for the treatment of viral infectious diseases and has sound preventive and therapeutic effects on influenza. In addition, it is effective in treating acute pharyngitis, chronic pharyngitis, epidemic BSE, and chickenpox. The study of the components of Isatidis Radix no toginseng that exert their medicinal effects and the analysis of the content of the active therapeutic ingredients laid the foundation for the quality of Isatidis Radix no toginseng and its modern application.

Does your rewrite give an explanation as to how clan cats in the UK know what big cats like tigers and leopards are? Personally my headcannon is that big cats are seen as mythical creatures like unicorns or dragons and that kittypets introduced the idea of these giant ultra-powerful cats to the clan cats from seeing big cats in nature documentaries from twoleg's tvs
Anon, the answer will shock you
They don't actually know what leopards, tigers, or lions are. It's a translation 'error' the same way that we treat wyrms, longs, and nagas as "dragons" when they're completely different mythological reptiles.
The three Great Clans are mythologized versions of the three groups who once lived by the ancient lake, warping over time until they were unique fantastical creatures.
Behold, a "Leopard"!
[Image ID: A blue creature in the style of a medieval manuscript. It has the head of a pike, the tail of an otter, the ears and body of a cat, with scales spotting its back and tail.]
A "leopard" is a symbol of skill, beauty, and grace. In tales of the Great Clans, leopards are often used as the heroes that must overcome the trickery of "tigers" and the brutish honesty of "lions." Sometimes they are industrious like beavers and badgers, creating large structures that "tigers" must infiltrate.
They're usually described with colors like a northern pike, in various shades of brown, green, orange, black, and white. When they're drawn, blue pigment is taken from woad (isatis tinctora) to traditionally display them as blue in contrast to lions (yellow, weld dye) and tigers (red, madder dye)

A Blue Dress
Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the blue dye was the most widely used. Obtaining the dye is rather simple, as the ford (Isatis Tinctoria) is a plant that is easily cultivated in Europe, but the dye thus obtained will later turn out dull and greyish. The ford-dyed clothes are in fact used by the low people. Those of the nobility, on the other hand, are dyed with indigo, which is expensive and difficult to obtain, and which produces a bright, brilliant blue so that the colour holds, a fundamental requirement for a garment intended for the nobility.
In the Late Middle Ages, blue replaced royal red in the Virgin Mary's cloak, becoming a colour symbol of justice, loyalty and spirituality. In the West it then became a symbol of royalty, used by nobles and sovereigns during important ceremonies and events. In the Renaissance it was the colour used by a young woman of marriageable age. Unlike the colour pink, which is particularly expensive and considered a manly colour due to its resemblance to the colour of blood, it is blue that dominates in women's wardrobes.
House of the Dragon is no exception, as most of the female characters wear a blue dress on at least one occasion. I had already talked in my previous posts on the clothing of Helaena, Alicent and Rhaenyra about the common thread of these three characters created by the use of the colour blue (if it had been used more judiciously), but this time I want to analyse its use in the series.
In fact, I found it extremely interesting to have the three green queens (i.e. Alicent, Helaena and Jaehaera) wear it, as it seems to be a well considered and precise choice, representing a breaking point for the character and an (unfortunately traumatic) loss of innocence.
Alicent Hightower
In the first scenes with Alicent, we meet her in a dress in shades of light blue. Considering then that Rhaenyra wears a yellow dress, it almost seems that the princess represents a sun, a fixed point in Alicent's life (unfortunately the series has made them best friends), whereas Alicent's dress has the colours of a spring sky.
Blue is a predominant colour in young Alicent's wardrobe, never used again after her marriage to Viserys, where in fact she wears Targaryen red and Hightower green. Alicent wears a blue dress twice, in a darker and deeper shade than her previous dress. In the first she is in the company of Viserys, in one of their private meetings, in the second she is at the session of the small council where her marriage to Viserys is announced.
As I mentioned in her posts, I associated the colour blue with her mother (a Redwyne from Arbor) but in the series it represents her breaking point, the transition from maiden to married woman sanctioned by marriage, in which a woman transitions to the role of wife and mother (a transition well rendered in the following episode, where we find Alicent mother of Aegon and pregnant with Helaena). In fact, we will never again see Alicent wearing blue in the series.
Rhaenyra Targaryen
Yes, it seemed right to talk about her as well. Even though the message conveyed is totally the opposite. There's only one scene in which we see her wearing a blue dress (light blue actually, but I'd say we can consider blue diluted with white, come on) and it's right after Joffrey's childbirth, when Rhaenyra decides to go herself to Alicent and Viserys with the newborn.
I've noticed that many associate that dress with the colours of the Arryns (coupled, among other things, with the strong physical resemblance between Rhaenyra's actress and Aemma's), but I actually think that the blue symbolizes instead Rhaenyra's bond with the Velaryons, and consequently the one that Joffrey has (or rather, should have) with his brothers.
Rhaenyra is perfectly aware of her precarious situation. Viserys can invent all the most ridiculous excuses to justify the children's (non) resemblance to Laenor, but Alicent as well as many other people are by no means blind or stupid. Wearing that dress is therefore a clear demonstration of power, a symbol of the bond with the Velaryons and of the affiliation of Rhaenyra's children to that house.
It is a diametrically opposed message to that of Alicent, where blue is the predominant colour in her youthful clothes. Rhaenyra, on the other hand, wears it as an adult, which is a pity because we never see her in the series emphasise her kinship with the Arryn through the colours of her mother's house.
Helaena Targaryen
Like Rhaenyra, Helaena also wears a single blue dress. Incidentally, this is a moment in which she should have been one of the undisputed protagonists, since it is Aegon's coronation scene and consequently should also have been hers, being his wife.
The choice of colour is very peculiar, especially considering the context (it is the moment of greatest emphasis and demonstration of power of the greens) and the colour choices of the other family members. Helaena is also positioned next to Aemond, who is dressed in black, so the subtlety of the colour particularly stands out and stands out as a touch of light, contrasting with the sombre tones of the other characters' clothes.
I have already spoken at length in her posts about why blue is Helaena's colour, as it is the colour of her dragon Dreamfyre, but given the colour choices of her previous outfits (as a child she wears pink and green, and as an adult she has a single gold dress) dressing Helaena in blue during Aegon's coronation makes her appear out of context.
I love that they dressed her in blue, but first of all the power of the scene is interrupted by Meleys and Rhaenys and it is not clear why of all colours Helaena wears blue (a green dress would have been more appropriate). At least at first glance, becausejust as with Alicent here is Helaena's breaking point, her transition from princess to queen.
Unfortunately, the series decided not to crown her, but Helaena is the queen. A queen whose power in fact turns out to be practically nil. In the series the characterization given to Helaena seems to render her incapable of making decisions in the political sphere, where instead in the books we see her attending councils and advising Aegon. Yet, we know very well what her fate will be, when she will be forced to choose which of her children shall die, a decision that will drive her to madness. Who knows, by the way, how they will decide to dress her for that scene…
Jaehaera Targaryen
Here we enter the realm of pure speculation, but I will say right away that I love this dress. I love that Helaena has dressed her daughter in blue and I love that the embroidery and motifs on the dress resemble those on her mother's dress. I find this extremely adorable and tender.
However, my likely theory is that Jaehaera wears this dress during that scene. My heart aches already. It is one of the most horrific moments in the Dance of Dragons, where Jaehaera is threatened with rape and witnesses the murder of her brother Jaehaerys.
Exactly as with her grandmother and mother, it is a breaking moment. We don't know how Jaehaera actually reacted to what is a real trauma, but certainly losing her (probably) only parental figure of reference and her twin, then having to flee her home to save her life, coupled with the fact that your family members are literally killing each other... No wonder then that during her marriage to Aegon III she spent her days locked in her rooms.
What about the loss of innocence?
Tragedy, help. Even Jaehaerys cover seems to have the same motifs as Helaena and Jaehaera's outfits. I'm going to go cry in a corner and recover from this decidedly delusional post, I confess.

🍒🍒[For Victor. 👀Maybe one pre relationship, and one during? I'm greedy, will freely admit.]
//I will happily feed your greed 😌//
He spends the better part of the afternoon finding blue hair in everything until he finally collapses on the couch and is surrounded by Hank's scent. It's strong, warm, heady. He smells like books and ink and some sort of chemical that reminds Victor of fireworks. A long exhale as Victor's body melts into the curve of the couch. It's quiet now since Hank's been gone, and Victor still isn't all that sure why he decided to just let him go.
Victor had kissed him. For shits and giggles, really, and just to get the guy to stop talking for a few minutes. But the sudden shift in the air lingeted even now. Like Victor had crossed a line neither of them knew was there, and instead of becoming furious, Hank... liked it? Staring at the ceiling, Victor grumbles something unintellegible, shrugging it off like it was nothing.
But. What if it had been something? What if Victor had pushed it further and kept Hank quiet a little longer? Kept his mouth occupied some other way. He couldn't reakly trust Hank not to bite him, but wasn't that the real fun of it all? His breath came a little harder now, but Victor didn't move, just imagining the heat on his dick. A tongue so careful at stringing together a moutful of words would surely be good at twisting his velvet shaft.
Now, his fingers twitch where they're cupped behind his head. The heat in his stomach roils to life as his jeans grow tighter. If anyone could fit the whole of him in his mouth, it'd be Hank. And he'd probably make the filthiest sounds. A guy, all caught up in being presentable, given the chance to let go? Oh, yeah, he'd moan and gag around Victor's dick.
Shit, the thought alone is getting Victor so hard it hurts. He shifts uncomfortably, aching to stick his dick in something hot, wet, and waiting. It takes him another minute before he's finally shoving his jeans down enouvh to get a hand on his cock and fisting it in tight, quick pulls.
Not that Victor would ever admit that happened. But he does fess up to another fantasy he has.
It's early on in their. Thing. Some time after the whole book store incident that really was a lot of checked boxes. He's sitting across from Hank in a shitty motel because Hank still hasn't let him around the X-Men, which is probably for the best at the moment.
Victor lounges his head on a raised hand, the other tracing a nail along the ceramic ring of the coffee mug that comes with the room. "Back in the force, I'd fuck-" He considers using the name, but picks the high road. Consider it some of Hank rubbing off on him. "This one guy and pass him around the cakp for everyone to have at. He was an isatiable shit, and it didn't really matter who fucked him, he just looked good wrecked."
Victor pauses to sip his coffee, then set his down with his eyes watching Hank closely. "Kinda have the same idea. But I don't pass ya around. Just want an audience to hear all the ways your voice cracks when you're almost there. Put ya on display but s'only me who gets to touch ya."
He shrugs, knowing it's not really feasible. Not like there were many mutant exlusive sex clubs around here- and even if Victor was allowed in them, he didn't think Professor McCoy of the X-Men would be good PR for Xavier's little fan club. "Jus' a fantasy. Happy ta keep it such. But I do think about you outside of all this."

Submissions propaganda
Isabeth/Fennel's Mother
[I think Fennel's mom doesn't have a name ? Or I've forgotten about it ? I hc it as Myosotis (forget-me-not) so it can make the shipname "isatis" since isatis is one of the French names for snow fox]
*Note: technically the submission said "Fennel and Belladonna's mother" but Fennel and Belladonna are half-siblings with the same father, so I switched it to Fennel's mother instead

Clothes sketches for my Lamb OC!
I'm struggling with putting Mina in clothes. Clothes are an important part of a character's design and can help visually show aspects of a character without it needing to be said. But when it comes to characters who don't really need clothes for thermoregulation it becomes a form a cultural and self expression. Which is dependent on the world the character is in. So many moving parts...
Initially I only drew the clothes and didn't include Mina's fleece. Then I realized the her fleece is still a part of her wardrobe even if she can't take it off normally.
1) The first design was inspired by Skyward Sword Zelda's ceremony / goddess dress. I changed the sleeves to make it more comfortable for someone covered in wool. It is very light and partially transparent. It was going to be Mina's sacrifical or priestess clothing.
2) This design is the same as the first but I removed the sleeves altogether. More comfortable.
3) A simple long vest or house coat for Mina. Something she would wear to keep her wool clean. The green color was inspired by Ratau's tunic. I researched natural cloth dyes and determined that Ratau, and Mina, could have access to the resources to make this color consistently.
For those who are interested, this green resembles Lincoln Green, a color produced from combining woad (Isatis tinctoria), a strong blue pigment, yellow weld (Reseda luteola) pigment or dyers' broom, Genista tinctoria. I use this green liberally when coloring.
The wraps on her legs, which I forgot to color, are inspired by show animal care. Apparently to keep a sheeps boot wool clean before a show, keepers cover their lower legs.
4) A thick green tunic inspired by Ratau's vest.
5) Ceremonial Vestments of silk with gold embroidered hems. Mina's own cult, not TOWW's, was going to feature green instead of red.
6) A simple green linen tunic.
7) I was trying to figure out what Mina would wear while crusading. The brown leg wraps and green tunic would make her look like Link. Mistakes were made...
8) A green linen tabard with brown leg wraps. I wanted clothing with less material for Mina to wear.
9) A fancy green tabard with gold embroidery. Maybe something light to wear around the cult that marked Mina as the leader.
10) & 11) A simple red sarong like dress with leg wraps. No sleeves. I like these, I might make them shorter though.
12) & 13) Purple linen dress with gold belt wrap. I wanted a design that was more witchy but I felt it didn't fit Mina. Purple would be a hard color to find and I felt the dress would be uncomfortable over her wool.
14) A heavy blue denim overall dress with leg wraps. Something for Mina to wear while cooking or working around the cult.
15) & 16) just practicing the canon! Follower robes.
17) Gold embroidered robes and a black wool vest denotes a high level follower. In my COTL playthroughs I give followers with really good traits special titles like Keeper and Deacon in addition to their names.
18) Tried putting mina in pants. Hated it.
19) A shepherd's Crook Scythe. Mina would use it as a catalyst for curse but it can double as a weapon in a pinch. It would also be a staff-of-office for Mina's position as TOWW's cult leader.
20) A corset belt with pouches. What would Mina keep in those?
21) A red crusade cloak with bell. One of my favorite designs I've come up with. I wanted something that screamed "I do Magic". I fell in love with slit sleeves. They look plain but elegant. I added the corset belt but with no bags.
22) A green "fleece of the glass canon" crusade cloak. I previously wanted to stick with the canon design for fleeces, a short cloak, but I really liked the design #21 and wanted to create derivatives of it. It's lined with red linen/wool.
23), 24), & 25) Black Crown cloaks with bells. Mina would transform the Red Crown into a cloak to wear while crusading. The hood is very long and pointed to give it a magic-user look.
26) A "fleece of the glass canon" cloak that Mina would use as a template for her crown cloak.
27) this cloak was inspired by Witch Hat Atelier. I didn't like it for Mina. For the woodland setting it felt too refined amd modern.
28) this cloak was inspired by Sypha Belnades' cloak from the Castlevania animated series. I like the look but that hood / collar makes absolutely no sense and I hate that.
29) this isn't an original design but something I saw on some Zelda fanart. I wanted to see how it would look on Mina. I like it. I added leg wraps. It initially had a dress underneath but I got rid of it. Too many layers.
30) I tried to incorporate some of my previous designs with the canon "fleece of the Lamb". The bells on the ends make it look like something a court jester would wear though. Also I don't think it would be a good idea to wear something that makes a lot of noise while crusading/ adventuring. Unless that's the plan. I imagine a very self assured lamb would wear something like this.
31) & 32) A simple linen pinafore with a braided cloth belt and leg wraps. The colors are based on Ratau's tunic. I feel like Mina would wear this before she started being a cult leader.
33) I don't know when Mina would wear this. It might go over ceremonial vestments or she wears it when visiting TOWW.

Me? Just happy that Feliks could wear purple clothes in medieval times by simply dyeing them with a mixture of common madder (rubia tinctorum) and woad (Isatis tinctoria).
