Advancing against drug-resistant tuberculosis: an extensive review, novel strategies and patent landscape.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) represents a pressing global health issue, leading to heightened morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive research efforts, the escalation of DR-TB cases underscores the urgent need for enhanced prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies. This review delves deep into the molecular and genetic origins of different types of DR-TB, highlighting recent breakthroughs in detection and diagnosis, including Rapid Diagnostic Tests like Xpert Ultra, Whole Genome Sequencing, and AI-based tools along with latest viewpoints on diagnosis and treatment of DR-TB utilizing newer and repurposed drug molecules.

Development and Validation of a Green Stability-Indicating HPTLC Method for Estimation of Curcumin, Gallic Acid, and Ursolic Acid From Polyherbal Formulation Jatyadi Taila.

Background: Jatyadi taila (JT) is a well-known Ayurvedic wound-healing product, comprising 16 different medicinally important plants, including Curcuma longa, Terminalia chebula, and Jasminum officinale.

Objective: The proposed work discusses the development and validation of the green and economical stability-indicating HPTLC method for quantification of the key marker phytoconstituents, curcumin (CUR), gallic acid (GA), and ursolic acid (UA), from JT.

Method: Quality standard parameters for JT were determined following standard procedures.
