Potent phytoceuticals cocktail exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity on LPS-triggered RAW264.7 macrophages in vitro.

Chronic inflammatory conditions, which include respiratory diseases and other ailments, are characterized by persistent inflammation and oxidative stress, and represent a significant health burden, often inadequately managed by current therapies which include conventional inhaled bronchodilators and oral or inhaled corticosteroids in the case of respiratory disorders. The present study explores the potential of Vedicinals®9 Advanced, a polyherbal formulation, to mitigate LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in RAW264.7 mouse macrophages.

Liposomal encapsulated curcumin attenuates lung cancer proliferation, migration, and induces apoptosis.

Lung cancer is one of the most diagnosed types of cancer worldwide, accounting to one fifth of cancer-related deaths. The high prevalence of lung cancer (LC) is due to various factors such as environmental pollution or lifestyle factors such as cigarette smoking. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most diagnosed type of lung cancer.

Therapeutic potential of 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles on cigarette smoke-induced in-vitro model of COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is strongly linked to cigarette smoke, which contains toxins that induce oxidative stress and airway inflammation, ultimately leading to premature airway epithelial cell senescence and exacerbating COPD progression. Current treatments for COPD are symptomatic and hampered by limited efficacy and severe side effects. This highlights the need to search for an optimal therapeutic candidate to address the root causes of these conditions.

The impact of airborne particulate matter-based pollution on the cellular and molecular mechanisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Inhalation of particulate matter (PM), one of the many components of air pollution, is associated with the development and exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is one of the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity, with a paucity of therapeutic options and a significant contributor to global health expenditure. This review aims to provide a mechanistic understanding of the cellular and molecular pathways that lead to the development of COPD following chronic PM exposure.

Cellular probing using phytoceuticals encapsulated advanced delivery systems in ameliorating lung diseases: Current trends and future prospects.

Chronic respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma have posed a significant healthcare and economic cost over a prolonged duration worldwide. At present, available treatments are limited to a range of preventive medicines, such as mono- or multiple-drug therapy, which necessitates daily use and are not considered as viable treatments to reverse the inflammatory processes of airway remodelling which is inclusive of the alteration of intra and extracellular matrix of the airway tract, death of epithelial cells, the increase in smooth muscle cell and the activation of fibroblasts. Hence, with the problem in mind a considerable body of study has been dedicated to comprehending the underlying factors that contribute to inflammation within the framework of these disorders.

Computational and biological approaches in repurposing ribavirin for lung cancer treatment: Unveiling antitumorigenic strategies.

Lung cancer is among leading causes of death worldwide. The five-year survival rate of this disease is extremely low (17.8 %), mainly due to difficult early diagnosis and to the limited efficacy of currently available chemotherapeutics.

Liposomal curcumin inhibits cigarette smoke induced senescence and inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells.

Curcumin, the principal curcuminoid of turmeric (Curcuma longa extract), is very well known for its multiple biological therapeutic activities, particularly its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential. However, due to its low water solubility, it exhibits poor bioavailability. In order to overcome this problem, in the current study, we have employed liposomal technology to encapsulate curcumin with the aim of enhancing its therapeutic efficacy.

Fecal microbiome extract downregulates the expression of key proteins at the interface between airway remodelling and lung cancer pathogenesis in vitro.

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and it is caused by many factors including cigarette smoking. Despite numerous treatment strategies for LC, its five-year survival is still poor (<20 %), attributable to treatment resistance and lack of early diagnosis and intervention. Importantly, LC incidence is higher in patients affected by chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), and LC shares with other CRDs common pathophysiological features including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, cellular senescence, and airway remodelling.

Curcumin-loaded liposomes modulating the synergistic role of EpCAM and estrogen receptor alpha in lung cancer management.

Lung cancer (LC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, necessitating the exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies. This study delves into the in vitro potential of liposomal therapeutics utilizing Curcumin-loaded PlexoZome® (CUR-PLXZ) in targeting EpCAM/TROP1 and Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα) signalling pathways for LC management. The prevalence of LC, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), underscores the urgent need for effective treatments.

Emerging applications and prospects of NFκB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides in managing respiratory diseases.

Chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) have been a burden to society for an extended period. Currently, there are only preventative treatments in the form of mono- or multiple-drug therapy available to patients who need to utilize it daily. Hence, throughout the years there has been a substantial amount of research in understanding what causes inflammation in the context of these diseases.
