In part I, we reported Hansen solubility parameters (HSP, HSPiP program), experimental solubility at varied temperatures for TOTA delivery. Here, we studied dose volume selection, stability, pH, osmolality, dispersion, clarity, and viscosity of the explored combinations (I-VI). Ex vivo permeation and deposition studies were performed to observe relative diffusion rate from the injected site in rat skin.

Tolterodine tartrate (TOTA) is associated with adverse effect, high hepatic access, varied bioavailability, slight aqueous solubility, and short half-life after oral delivery. Hansen solubility parameters (HSP, HSPiP program), experimental solubility (T = 298.2 to 318.

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to validate Nuclear receptor-binding SET Domain NSD1 as a cancer drug target followed by the design of lead molecules against NSD1. TCGA clinical data, molecular expression techniques were used to validate the target and structure-based virtual screening was performed to design hits against NSD1. Clinical data analysis suggests the role of NSD1 in metastasis, prognosis and influence on overall survival in various malignancies.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are validated therapeutic agents against EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the associated critical side effects of these agents are inevitable, demanding more specific and efficient targeting agents. Recently, we have developed and reported a non-covalent imidazo[1,2-]quinoxaline-based EGFR inhibitor (), which showed promising inhibitory activity against the gefitinib-resistant H1975(L858R/T790M) lung cancer cell line.

Breast cancer including triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents an important clinical challenge, as these tumours often develop resistance to conventional chemotherapeutics. MicroRNAs play a crucial role in cell-cycle regulation, differentiation, apoptosis, and migration. Herein, we performed Affymetrix Gene Chip miRNA 4.

Diabetes is a ubiquitously a metabolic disorder and life-threatening disease. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the class of nuclear receptors which acts as transcription factors to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism. PPAR alpha/gamma dual agonists tend to corroborate the functions of both thiazolidinediones and fibrates and they hold substantial promise for ameliorating the type 2 diabetic treatments and providing potential therapeutic diabetic interventions.

The prevalence of diabetes and its complications is increasing at an alarming rate in both developed and deve1oping nations. The emerging evidences highlighted that both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms including histone modifications play a significant role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and acetylation are involved in the regulation of autophagy as well as pathogenesis of DN.
