Skin cancer (SC) poses a global threat to the healthcare system and is expected to increase significantly over the next two decades if not diagnosed at an early stage. Early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment, as the disease becomes more challenging to cure as it progresses. However, identifying new drugs, achieving clinical success, and overcoming drug resistance remain significant challenges.

The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fruit extracts (PDF) against rat sickness behaviour caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by assessing behavioural and biochemical parameters. PDF was prepared by extracting dry fruits of with a methanol:water (4:1, /) mixture.

Many herbs have been studied for their ability to protect animals against experimentally induced sickness behaviour. However, there is a lack of knowledge and experimental evidence on the use of herbal bioactive compounds (HBACs) in the management of sick behaviour.

Since they are the primary cellular systems involved in the production and clearance of aggregated amyloid plaques, endo-lysosomal or autophagic equilibrium must be maintained throughout life. As a result, variations in the autophagic and endo-lysosomal torrent, as a measure of degenerative function in these sections or pathways, may have a direct impact on disease-related processes, such as Aß clearance from the brain and interneuronal deposition of Aß and tau aggregates, thus disrupting synaptic plasticity.
