Drug Repurposing for Cancer Treatment: A Comprehensive Review.

Cancer ranks among the primary contributors to global mortality. In 2022, the global incidence of new cancer cases reached about 20 million, while the number of cancer-related fatalities reached 9.7 million.

Aloe-emodin Quantification using HPTLC and RP-UHPLC in Extracts and Commercial Herbal Formulations: Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Effects.

Background: High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) was developed and validated for the determination of aloe-emodin in accordance with ICH guidelines. In addition, a novel RP-UHPLC method was developed, and both methods were used to analyse the herbal extract and herbal formulation.

Methods: Separation was carried out on a silica gel 60 F HPTLC plate using the mobile phase Toluene: Methanol (9:1).

Quality Control Standardization, Contaminant Detection and In Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Linn. Fruit.

The increase in the use of herbal medicines has led to the implementation of more stern regulations in terms of quality variation and standardization. As medicinal plants are prone to quality variation acquired due to differences in geographical origin, collection, storage, and processing, it is essential to ensure the quality, efficacy, and biological activity of medicinal plants. This study aims to standardize the widely used fruit, i.

Leaf Extract Phytochemical Analysis, Cytotoxicity, In Vitro Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Activities.

For many years, () has been used medicinally and as a dietary supplement. Despite this, there are minimal research data on phytochemical properties and pharmacological effects. This study aimed to explore the phytoconstituents, cytotoxicity, glucose uptake, and antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of an alcoholic extract of leaf.

Approaches for Ear-targeted Delivery Systems in Neurosensory Disorders to avoid Chronic Hearing Loss Mediated Neurological Diseases.

Background And Objective: Hearing loss is a common audio-vestibular-related neurosensory disability of inner ears, in which patients exhibit clinical symptoms of dizziness, gait unsteadiness, and oscillopsia, at an initial stage. While, if such disorders are untreated for a prolonged duration then the progression of disease into a chronic state significantly decreases GABA level as well as an alteration in the neurotransmission of CNS systems. Hence, to control the progression of disease into a chronic approaches for timely and targeted delivery of the drugs at the site of action in the ear is now attracting the interest of neurologists for effective and safe treatment of such disorders.

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of some novel fused heterocyclic 1,2,4-triazolo-[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives.

In the present investigation, a series of 3,6-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (6a-t) were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data results. In anti-MES activity compounds 6b, 6c, 6g, 6j, 6k, 6q and 6r showed potent activity comparable to that of standard drugs: phenytoin and carbamazepine.

2-[3-(4-chloro/ethyl phenyl)propan-3-one]-5-(substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles: synthesis and biological evaluation.

In the present investigation, two novel series of 2-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)propan-3-one]-5-(substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole and 2-[3-(4-ethylphenyl)propan-3-one]-5-(substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole were synthesized and tested for their antiinflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and antibacterial actions. A fair number of compounds were found to have very good antiinflammatory activity in carrageenan induced rat paw edema test, while a few compounds showed significant analgesic activity in acetic acid induced writhing test. The newly synthesized compounds showed very low ulcerogenic action and moderate antibacterial action.
