Natural Flavonoids: Fortifying Renal Defence Mechanism.

Curr Drug Saf

January 2024

Department of Pharmacology, Anand College of Pharmacy, Sharda University, Agra-282007, India.

Background: The kidneys, intricate organs responsible for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, are susceptible to damage from diverse nephrotoxic insults, including drugs, toxins, and metabolic disorders. In recent years, flavonoids, bioactive compounds abundant in fruits, vegetables, and herbal extracts, have emerged as promising candidates for renal protection due to their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Methods: We have collected the data that supported this idea to conduct a comprehensive review by using scientific databases, such as Pub Med ®, ScienceDirect ®, Google Scholar ®, and MEDLINE ®.

Preclinical investigation of the pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and protein and red blood cell binding of DRDE-07: a prophylactic agent against sulphur mustard.

Acta Pharm Sin B

October 2014

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Defence Research and Development, Establishment, Gwalior 474002, India.

DRDE-07, a newly synthesized amifostine analog currently under clinical investigation in a phase I trial, is a potent antidote against sulfur mustard toxicity. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of DRDE-07 in female Swiss Albino mice after a single oral dose of 400 or 600 mg/kg. The physicochemical properties of DRDE-07, including solubility, pK a, Log P, plasma protein binding and plasma/blood partitioning, were determined to support the pharmacokinetic characterization.
