Ganetespib with Methotrexate Acts Synergistically to Impede NF-κB/p65 Signaling in Human Lung Cancer A549 Cells.

Among the various types of cancer, lung cancer accounts for the highest number of fatalities across the globe. A combination of different cancer chemotherapeutics is regarded as an effective strategy for clinical management of different cancers. Ganetespib (GAN) is a well-established hsp90 inhibitor with enhanced pharmacological properties in comparison with its first-generation counterparts.

Neuroprotective approaches to halt Parkinson's disease progression.

One of the most significant threats in Parkinson's disease (PD) is neurodegeneration. Neurodegeneration at both nigral as well as non-nigral regions of the brain is considered responsible for disease progression in PD. The key factors that initiate neurodegeneration are oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial complex-1 inhibition, and abnormal α-synuclein (SNCA) protein aggregations.

Inflammation targeted nanomedicines: Patents and applications in cancer therapy.

Evident role of inflammation in cancer development and progression prompted the application of anti-inflammatory medications as a therapeutic strategy. The major bottleneck for the anti-inflammatory drugs is targeted delivery to the cancerous cell. Nanotechnology has provided safe and effective way for targeted cancer therapy.

Phytosomes as Innovative Delivery Systems for Phytochemicals: A Comprehensive Review of Literature.

Nowadays, medicinal herbs and their phytochemicals have emerged as a great therapeutic option for many disorders. However, poor bioavailability and selectivity might limit their clinical application. Therefore, bioavailability is considered a notable challenge to improve bio-efficacy in transporting dietary phytochemicals.

Design and Evaluation of Losartan Potassium Effervescent Floating Matrix Tablets: In Vivo X-ray Imaging and Pharmacokinetic Studies in Albino Rabbits.

Losartan potassium (LP) is an angiotensin receptor blocker used to treat hypertension. At higher pH, it shows poor aqueous solubility, which leads to poor bioavailability and lowers its therapeutic effectiveness. The main aim of this research was to develop a direct compressed effervescent floating matrix tablet (EFMT) of LP using hydroxyl propyl methylcellulose 90SH 15,000 (HPMC-90SH 15,000), karaya gum (KG), and an effervescent agent, such as sodium bicarbonate (SB).

Current Perspectives on Novel Drug Carrier Systems and Therapies for Management of Pancreatic Cancer: An Updated Inclusive Review.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most fatal solid tumors, resulting in more than 250,000 deaths per year globally. It is the eighth leading cause of death from cancer in men and women throughout the world and is now third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. In addition, the worldwide occurrence of PC ranges from 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people, indicating a higher incidence in developed countries.
