Experimental and computational studies on possibility of using glucose diazacrown cryptand as a carrier for anticancer drugs busulfan and lomustine.

Drug carriers play a very important role in pharmacy, especially in cancer therapy. Most drugs used in the treatment of cancer are characterized by poor solubility in water and lack of selectivity in their toxic effects on normal and cancer cells. Administration of the drug in the form of a complex with an appropriately selected carrier can significantly improve its therapeutic effect and reduce side effects.

Theoretical Investigations on Free Energy of Binding Cilostazol with Different Cyclodextrins as Complex for Selective PDE3 Inhibition.

Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor characterized by poor solubility. This limitation can be overcome by using a drug carrier capable of delivering the drug to the target site. Cyclodextrins are essential as drug carriers because of their outstanding complexation abilities and their capacity to improve drug bioavailability.

Combined Theoretical and Experimental Investigations: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vitro Cytotoxic Activity Assessment of a Complex of a Novel Ureacellobiose Drug Carrier with the Anticancer Drug Carmustine.

Drug delivery systems (DDSs) are used to transport drugs which are characterized by some pharmaceutical problems to the specific target site, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and reducing off-target accumulation in the body. In this work, one of the recently synthesized molecules, 1,10-,-bis-(β-ᴅ-ureidocellobiosyl)-4,7,13,16-tetraoxa-1,10-diazacyclooctadecane (TN), was tested as a potential drug carrier towards the anticancer drug carmustine. For this purpose, different techniques were used, from synthesis and calculations to cytotoxicity assessment.

Supramolecular architectures in multicomponent crystals of imidazole-based drugs and trithiocyanuric acid.

The structures of three multicomponent crystals formed with imidazole-based drugs, namely metronidazole, ketoconazole and miconazole, in conjunction with trithiocyanuric acid are characterized. Each of the obtained adducts represents a different category of crystalline molecular forms: a cocrystal, a salt and a cocrystal of salt. The structural analysis revealed that in all cases, the N-H.

In Vitro Evaluation and In Silico Calculations of the Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Secondary Metabolites from L. Root Extracts.

L. has great ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal significance. This study aimed to assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of L.

Effect of a Substituent on the Properties of Salicylaldehyde Hydrazone Derivatives.

The present study investigates the effect of the substitution of salicylaldehyde hydrazones at two selected positions, i.e., the -position with regard to the proton-donating and proton-accepting centers forming the hydrogen bridge.
