Role of ursolic acid in preventing gastrointestinal cancer: recent trends and future perspectives.

Front Pharmacol

July 2024

Department of Translational Medicine, Clinical Research Centre, Skåne University Hospital, Lund University, Malmö, Sweden.

Gastrointestinal malignancies are one of the major worldwide health concerns. In the present review, we have assessed the plausible therapeutic implication of Ursolic Acid (UA) against gastrointestinal cancer. By modulating several signaling pathways critical in cancer development, UA could offer anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and anti-metastatic properties.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge healthcare systems globally, necessitating advanced tools for clinical decision support. Amidst the complexity of COVID-19 symptomatology and disease severity prediction, there is a critical need for robust decision support systems to aid healthcare professionals in timely and informed decision-making. In response to this pressing demand, we introduce BayesCovid, a novel decision support system integrating Bayesian network models and deep learning techniques.

Background: Bacterial infections are becoming difficult to treat nowadays due to the development of resistance towards conventional treatments. Conventional topical formulations loaded with antibiotics display various disadvantages, like high dosing frequency, high toxicity, and poor patient compliance. The former limitations may sometimes lead to severe complications and hospitalization of patients.

Utilization of microbial laccases is considered as the cleaner and target specific biocatalytic mechanism for the recovery of cellulose and hemicelluloses from nonfood and wasted agricultural, lignocellulosic biomass (LCB). The extent of lignin removal by laccase depends on the biochemical composition of biomass and the redox potential (E) of the biocatalyst. Intensive research efforts are going on all over the world for the recognition of appropriate and easily available agricultural lignocellulosic feedstocks to exploit maximally for the production of value-added bioproducts and biofuels.

Exploring status of emergency drugs and vaccine development in Covid-19 pandemic: an update.

Virusdisease

June 2021

Laboratory of Bio-Process and Engineering, Department of Biochemistry, School of Bioscience, Periyar University, Salem, 636011 India.

Unlabelled: COVID-19 outburst initiated from the city of Wuhan in China in December 2019 and has been declared as a public health emergency of international concern. This pandemic portrays a spectrum of clinical complications, primarily affecting the respiratory system reported to be caused by a pathogen SARS-CoV-2 belonging to the family of beta coronavirus. Currently, the main objective of the government authorities of all affected countries and research organizations is to find a potential solution in the form of a pharmacological intervention or a vaccination to eradicate the disease and to have a long-term solution to deal with the pandemic.

Engineered Site-specific Vesicular Systems for Colonic Delivery: Trends and Implications.

Curr Pharm Des

April 2021

School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, United Kingdom.

Steering drug-loaded, site-specific, coated lipid vesicles to the target receptor sites have the potential of plummeting adverse effects and improving the pharmacological response in diverse pathologies of the large bowel, especially the colon. Colonic delivery via oral route has its own challenges, often governed by several glitches such as drug degradation or absorption in the upper GIT, instability of proteins/peptides due to high molecular weight, and peptidase activity in the stomach. Consequently, colon-specific coated liposomal systems (CSLS) offer a potential alternate for not only site-specificity, but protection from proteolytic activity, and prolonged residence time for greater systemic bioavailability.

Preparation and characterization of the ferroelectric potassium nitrate: poly(vinyl alcohol) composite films.

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control

August 2009

Applied Physics and Materials Science Laboratory, Department of Applied Sciences, Baba Farid College of Engineering and Technology, Punjab, India.

The composite films of ferroelectric potassium nitrate (KNO3):poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with different weight percentages of KNO3 have been prepared at 200 degrees C using the spray-deposition technique. The remanent polarization (Pr) and peak current density for all composite films was estimated by tracing the polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis loop and current density-electric field (J-E) loop, respectively, using a modified Sawyer-Tower circuit. Pure KNO3 is known not to exhibit any ferroelectricity under ambient conditions, but the X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies of PVA:KNO3 composite films reveal the presence of a ferroelectric phase III of KNO3 in the composite films at room temperature.
