QbD Design, Formulation, Optimization and Evaluation of Trans-Tympanic Reverse Gelatination Gel of Norfloxacin: Investigating Gene-Gene Interactions to Enhance Therapeutic Efficacy.

Traditional otic drug delivery methods lack controlled release capabilities, making reverse gelatination gels a promising alternative. Reverse gelatination gels are colloidal systems that transition from a sol to a gel phase at the target site, providing controlled drug release over an extended period. Thermosensitive norfloxacin reverse gelatination gels were developed using a Quality by Design (QbD)-based optimization approach.

Understanding the interaction between α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and potential Cu/Zn metallo-drugs of benzimidazole derived organic motifs: A multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking study.

Drug-binding and interactions with plasma proteins strongly affect their efficiency of delivery, hence considered as a key factor in determining the overall pharmacological action. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), a second most abundant plasma protein in blood circulation, has unique drug binding ability and involved in the transportation of various compounds. Here, we have investigated the mechanism of interaction between AGP and potential Cu/Zn metallo-drugs of benzimidazole derived organic motifs (CuL and ZnL, where L is Schiff base ligand) by applying integrated spectroscopic, biophysical techniques and computational molecular docking analyses.
