The primary objective of the research effort is to establish efficient solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SNEDDS) for benidipine (BD) through the systematic application of a quality-by-design (QbD)-based paradigm. Utilizing Labrafil M 2125 CS, Kolliphor EL, and Transcutol P, the BD-S-SNEDDS were created. The central composite design was adopted to optimize numerous components.

Gene ontology enrichment analysis of PPAR-γ modulators from in diabetes mellitus.

J Diabetes Metab Disord

December 2021

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, KLE College of Pharmacy, Belagavi, KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research (KAHER), Belagavi, 590010 India.

Background: PPAR-γ has an integrative role in the management of insulin resistance; ligands of this receptor have emerged as potent insulin sensitizers and may modulate proteins involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Hence the present study is aimed to identify PPAR-γ modulators from the plant and predict the ontology enrichment analysis utilizing various in-silico tools.

Methods: ChEBI database was used to mine the phytoconstituents present in the plant , SwissTargetPrediction database was used to identify the targets, and scrutinizing of phytoconstituents modulating PPAR-γ was performed.
