Allergic diseases, primarily IgE-mediated, exert a substantial global health burden. A pivotal role in allergic reactions is played by mast cells, with histamine serving as a central mediator. Within this context, plant-based polyphenols, abundantly present in vegetables and fruits, show promising potential for allergy prevention.

Background: ACF is one of the frequently used Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID). ACF is a BCS Class - II drug (low solubility and high permeability) with poor solubility and low oral bioavailability.
Aim: Current work focuses on the improvement of the solubility and dissolution of ACF by the cocrystal approach.
Background: Aceclofenac (ACF) is one of the commonly used Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) representing a variety of therapeutic applications including management of pain, inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis, . But very low solubility and dissolution rate of ACF compromise its therapeutic utility.

A plethora of active phytochemical constituents of this plant has been revealed so far, namely, berberine, quercetin, kaempferol, sitosterol, stigmasterol, lanosterol, diosgenin, and so forth. Several studies demonstrated the exploration of pharmacological potential of various parts such as fruits, leaves, and stems of the plant as antioxidant, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-diarrhoeal, antidepressant, immunomodulator, and hepatoprotective.

Currently, co-crystals provide excellent opportunities to the formulation scientists in developing new pharmaceutical products by improving the pharmaceutically significant properties like solubility, dissolution rate, bioavailability, stability, and some other derived properties. Due to their ability to improve pharmacokinetic performance and their important intellectual property status, co-crystals are likely to have a very significant role in future drug development.

Self microemulsifying formulation is an approach used for enhancing the bioavailability of poorly soluble molecules due to their lipidic nature and small particle size. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of poorly soluble hydroxy- and polyhydroxy-organic phytomolecules rich leaves extract in modern formulation i.e.

Objective: In the present study, the antioxidant, cytotoxic and hepatoprotective activities of leaves were investigated against various models.
Objective: To investigate standardized ethyl acetate fraction of Rhododendron arboreum (EFRA) flowers for antidiarrheal activity in experimental animals.
Materials And Methods: A simple sensitive high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was used for the determination of hyperin in EFRA. The standardized fraction was investigated for castor oil, magnesium sulfate-induced diarrhea, measurement of gastrointestinal transit using charcoal and castor oil-induced enteropooling.
