Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Studies of Prednisolone Acetate
type: item
description: Prednisolone acetate (PA) is a corticosteroid with potential application in the management of multiple sclerosis; however, effective delivery to brain tissue remains challenging. The present study evaluated an optimized prednisolone acetate solid lipid nanoparticle (PA-SLN) formulation for intranasal brain-targeted delivery and compared its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic performance with conventional oral PA. The optimized formulation contained 11% tristearin, 58.88% surfactant mixture [Cremophor RH40:ethanol (3:1)] and a sonication time of 9.33 min. Male mice were divided into normal, diseased, oral PA and intranasal PA-SLN groups and treated for 21 days at 1.988 mg/kg in a cuprizone-induced multiple sclerosis model. Locomotor activity and motor coordination were assessed using actophotometer, open-field, rota-rod and swim tests, while brain histopathology evaluated demyelination and remyelination. PA concentrations in plasma and brain homogenate were quantified by HPLC. Intranasal PA-SLNs significantly improved locomotor activity and motor coordination and promoted faster remyelination compared with oral treatment.

4-Chloro-4-Methoxychalcone and its analogues as a Potential Anticancer Agent in Breast Cancer: A Review
type: item
description: Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide and continues to present significant therapeutic challenges, particularly in aggressive subtypes such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), where effective targeted therapies are limited. Chalcones, a class of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, have emerged as promising anticancer scaffolds because of their structural simplicity, synthetic accessibility, and diverse biological activities. Among them, 4-chloro-4′-methoxychalcone has attracted considerable interest due to its unique electronic architecture, generated by the combination of an electron-withdrawing para-chloro group and an electron-donating para-methoxy group, which enhances molecular polarization and target-binding potential. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the pharmacological activity, molecular targets, and structure–activity relationships (SARs) of 4-chloro-4′-methoxychalcone and related chloro-methoxy chalcone analogues in breast cancer. Available studies indicate that these compounds exert anticancer effects through multiple mechanisms, including modulation of estrogen receptor-α (ERα), HER2/EGFR tyrosine kinases, Bcl-2/BAX-mediated apoptosis, cyclin B1/CDK1 cell-cycle regulation, β-tubulin polymerization, VEGF/VEGFR-2 signaling, NF-κB, histone deacetylases, and MAPK/PI3K/AKT pathways. SAR analyses consistently identify the para-chloro/para-methoxy substitution pattern as favorable for enhanced anticancer activity, while molecular docking studies support strong interactions with several oncogenic targets. Related analogues have demonstrated low micromolar cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines, including MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Despite these promising findings, major translational gaps remain, including limited in vivo validation, insufficient ADMET characterization, and the absence of clinical studies. Overall, 4-chloro-4′-methoxychalcone represents a promising multi-target lead scaffold for f…

Development and Standardization of Polyherbal Ointment for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer
type: item
description: Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus and is associated with delayed wound healing, microbial infection, impaired blood circulation, and prolonged hyperglycemia. The present study was undertaken to formulate and evaluate a polyherbal ointment for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers using selected medicinal plants with antidiabetic, wound-healing, antimicrobial, and circulation-enhancing properties. The formulation consisted of extracts of Gymnema sylvestre, Allium sativum, Capsicum annum, and Rosmarinus officinalis oil. The plants were collected, authenticated, and subjected to pharmacognostical, physicochemical, phytochemical, TLC, and HPTLC analyses for standardization and characterization. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of important bioactive constituents including alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, carbohydrates, and oils. Two polyherbal ointment formulations were prepared and evaluated for physicochemical parameters such as pH, viscosity, spreadability, globule diameter, weight uniformity, skin irritation, and stability, and were found to possess satisfactory characteristics suitable for topical application. The healing potential of the formulations was assessed in alloxan-induced diabetic Wistar rats using the excision wound model. The treatment was continued for 14 days, and parameters such as blood glucose levels, body weight, wound contraction, and histopathological changes were evaluated. The polyherbal ointments produced significant wound contraction, reduced blood glucose levels, and enhanced tissue regeneration compared with the diabetic control group. Histopathological studies demonstrated improved epithelialization, fibroblast proliferation, macrophage infiltration, granulation tissue formation, and scar maturation in treated animals. The findings suggest that the synergistic action of the selected medicinal plants promotes diabetic wound …

Design and Optimization of Chitosan-Based Microspheres for Sustained Delivery of Anastrozole
type: item
description: The present study aimed to develop and evaluate Anastrozole-loaded mucoadhesive microspheres for sustained oral drug delivery using Sodium CMC, Chitosan, and HPMC K4M polymers. Microspheres were prepared by the solvent evaporation method and characterized for their micromeritic properties, percentage yield, drug entrapment efficiency, swelling behavior, mucoadhesion, surface morphology, and in vitro drug release. The prepared formulations exhibited satisfactory flow properties with particle sizes ranging from 420.15 to 468.41 µm. Percentage yield and drug entrapment efficiency were found to be in the ranges of 88.31–99.52% and 87.14–99.82%, respectively. The microspheres demonstrated excellent swelling and mucoadhesive characteristics, indicating their suitability for prolonged gastrointestinal residence. In vitro dissolution studies revealed sustained drug release for up to 12 h, with cumulative drug release ranging from 85.87% to 99.92%. Among all formulations, A6 containing Chitosan at a drug-to-polymer ratio of 1:2 showed the most desirable performance, achieving 99.92% drug release with superior mucoadhesion and controlled-release characteristics. FTIR studies confirmed the absence of significant drug–polymer interactions, while SEM analysis revealed discrete and spherical microspheres with smooth surface morphology. Drug release kinetic analysis demonstrated that the optimized formulation followed Zero-order kinetics with a non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. The findings suggest that Chitosan-based Anastrozole microspheres are a promising sustained-release oral delivery system capable of improving therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance in breast cancer management.

Integrated In vivo and In Silico Evaluation of Phenolic-Rich Extract of Euphorbia hirta Against Inflammatory Bowel Disease
type: item
description: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by oxidative stress, immune dysregulation and mucosal damage. The limitations of current therapies have increased interest in plant-based alternatives with anti-inflammatory potential. The present study evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of a phenolic-rich extract of Euphorbia hirta through integrated phytochemical, in-vivo and in-silico approaches. The plant material was collected, authenticated and processed to obtain a phenolic-rich extract. Phytochemical profiling using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) confirmed the presence of major phenolic compounds, including rutin and quercetin. The anti-inflammatory activity was investigated in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced experimental model of inflammatory bowel disease in Wistar rats. Animals were divided into five groups (n = 6 per group): control, DSS-induced disease control, standard, and treatment groups. The phenolic-rich extract was administered orally at a dose of 250 mg/kg and 500mg/kg body weight, while the standard group received metronidazole (100mg/kg, p.o.). Disease activity index, body weight changes, histopathological alterations and inflammatory responses were assessed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the extract. Treatment with the extract demonstrated significant protective effects against intestinal inflammation and tissue damage compared with the disease control group (p < 0.05). Molecular docking studies were performed to examine the interactions of rutin and quercetin with inflammation-related protein targets. Both compounds exhibited favourable binding affinities, supporting their potential role in modulating inflammatory pathways. The findings suggest that Euphorbia hirta possesses significant anti-inflammatory activity and may serve as a promising natural therapeutic candidate for the management of IBD,…

Phytochemical Analysis and Biological Evaluation of Muntingia calabura Leaf Extracts
type: item
description: The crude extract of Muntingia calabura (M. calabura) was subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening, which confirmed the presence of various bioactive constituents, including steroids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and carbohydrates. Among the different extracts, the aqueous extract exhibited the highest concentration of these phytoconstituents. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that β-sitosterol (46.33%) and stigmasterol (53.67%) were the predominant phytosterols present in the extract. Further investigation focused on the effect of β-sitosterol on GLUT-4 expression and glucose uptake in C2C12 myotube cells. The findings demonstrated a significant upregulation of GLUT-4 expression, which enhanced glucose uptake and indicated its potential role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. In addition, β-sitosterol was also found to influence GLUT-6 expression, suggesting a non-specific modulatory effect of the plant-derived compound. These results indicate that M. calabura exhibits notable antidiabetic activity, primarily attributed to its phytosterol content. The phytosterols were found to stimulate GLUT-4 translocation to the cell membrane and may act either independently or synergistically to enhance its epigenetic expression. The improved GLUT-4 translocation suggests the potential of M. calabura in correcting defects associated with insulin-mediated glucose transport, thereby highlighting its promise as a therapeutic agent in diabetes management. Moreover, the ability of β-sitosterol and structurally related compounds such as stigmasterol to modulate GLUT protein expression at the genetic level indicates a broader regulatory influence on glucose metabolism. Overall, the study underscores the therapeutic potential of M. calabura in the management of both insulin-dependent and insulin-independent diabetes mellitus.

Gastrointestinal Motility Patterns: Mechanisms, Disorders, and Emerging Therapeutic Targets
type: item
description: Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is a complex, coordinated process essential for digestion, nutrient absorption, immune regulation, and waste elimination. Proper motility depends on the integrated function of smooth muscle layers, the enteric nervous system (ENS), hormonal signaling, and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). Disruption of these mechanisms results in clinically significant motility disorders such as achalasia, gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Advances in diagnostic tools including high-resolution manometry, wireless motility capsules, electrogastrography, and imaging modalities have enhanced understanding of physiological and pathological motility patterns. Emerging research highlights the importance of the gut-brain axis, immune signaling, microbiome interactions, and molecular pathways in regulating gastrointestinal function. This review summarizes normal motility patterns, regulatory mechanisms, pathophysiology of motility disorders, current pharmacological approaches, and future therapeutic targets.

A Review on Clinical Features of Tomato Flu Virus
type: item
description: Tomato flu is an emerging viral illness reported mainly in children under five years of age in India, characterized by fever and distinctive red, tomato-like vesicular lesions. It is likely associated with enteroviral infections, particularly Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Transmission occurs through close contact, respiratory droplets, and contaminated surfaces. The disease presents with nonspecific symptoms, making differential diagnosis important to distinguish it from infections such as dengue, chikungunya, and varicella. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, and management is supportive, including hydration, antipyretics, and isolation. Although generally self-limiting with a favorable prognosis, preventive measures such as hygiene practices and infection control are essential to limit spread. Further research is needed to better understand its etiology, improve diagnostic approaches, and develop targeted therapies.

Formulation and Evaluation of a Polyherbal Refreshing Drink with Antioxidant Potential
type: item
description: The consumption of carbonated soft drinks containing high levels of sugar, artificial additives, and preservatives has been associated with various health problems including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and dental disorders. Herbal refreshing drinks represent a promising alternative as functional beverages that provide hydration along with therapeutic benefits derived from medicinal plants. The present study aimed to formulate and evaluate a polyherbal refreshing drink using selected medicinal herbs such as Mentha piperita, Ocimum sanctum, Zingiber officinale, Emblica officinalis, Citrus limon, Vaccinium myrtillus, and Citrus reticulata. Three formulations (F1, F2, and F3) were prepared by varying the concentrations of herbal extracts and sweetening agents. The formulations were evaluated for organoleptic characteristics, physicochemical parameters, phytochemical constituents, antioxidant activity using DPPH assay, and microbiological safety. The results revealed that all formulations exhibited acceptable sensory and physicochemical properties with pH ranging from 4.2 to 4.8 and total soluble solids between 8–12 °Brix. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, terpenoids, and alkaloids. Antioxidant evaluation demonstrated significant radical scavenging activity, with F3 showing the highest inhibition (82%), followed by F2 (74%). Microbiological analysis confirmed that all formulations were within permissible microbial limits. Among the tested formulations, F2 demonstrated the best balance between antioxidant potential and sensory acceptability. The developed polyherbal refreshing drink can serve as a natural functional beverage and a healthier alternative to synthetic soft drinks.

Development and Evaluation of Nigella sativa L. Topical Cosmeceutical Formulations with Antiacne Activity
type: item
description: The inflammation of the skin's sebaceous follicles is the cause of acne vulgaris. Certain bacterial species, such as Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, are responsible for its initiation. Novel therapeutic treatments for acne vulgaris must be introduced due to the development of antibiotic resistance by these microorganisms and side effects from the present treatment regimens. In order to create new gel formulations from Nigella sativa L. seeds and assess their antibacterial efficacy against certain bacterial species that cause acne, this study was conducted. Using the agar well diffusion technique, the antibacterial activity of seed extracts was first tested against S. aureus and P. acnes. After that, topical gels were created using three distinct strengths of N. sativa seed ethyl acetate extract. The stability of these topical formulations was assessed over a 30-day period, and antibacterial activity experiments were conducted S. aureus and P. acnes growth was inhibited by all three formulations; however, the formulation containing 15% of the seed extract exhibited the most antibacterial action. Remarkably, this formulation's antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus outperformed that of the commercial synthetic product that served as the positive control. Furthermore, the antibacterial efficacy was maintained during the storage period, and no changes in color, odor, homogeneity, washability, consistency, or pH were seen. Topical gel formulations made from N. sativa ethyl acetate extract have strong antibacterial activity, indicating their potential as substitutes for current antiacne medications in the treatment of acne vulgaris.

A Review on Bipolar Disorders and Future Recommendations for Its Management in the Community
type: item
description: Bipolar disorders include bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, other specified bipolar and related disorders, and bipolar or related disorders, unspecified. Bipolar disorder is often difficult to recognize because symptoms overlap with other psychiatric disorders, psychiatric and somatic comorbidity is common, and patients may lack insight into their conditions, particularly hypomania. People with bipolar disorder‐II typically have their first encounter with the treatment system due to depression, which accounts for over 80% of the time ill. Bipolar I disorder starts on average at 18 years and bipolar II disorder at 22 years. The National Comorbidity Study showed onset typically between 18 and 44, with higher rates between 18 and 34 than 35 and 54. Bipolar disorder's precise causes are not fully understood. However, research suggests that a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors contributes to the development of the disorder. Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating episodes of mania or hypomania and depression. The symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, and individuals with bipolar disorder may also experience periods of stable mood. Bipolar disorder cannot be entirely avoided. To stop bipolar disorder or other mental health conditions from getting worse, treatment should be sought as soon as a mental health disorder manifests. Bipolar disorder is typically treated with a regimen of drugs, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. The goal of treatment is to stabilize mood, manage symptoms, prevent relapses, and improve overall functioning. The specific treatment plan depends on the individual's unique needs and the severity of their symptoms. There is a need for crucial plan and to work closely with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a psychiatrist, to develop and maintain an effective treatment regimen would minimize the bipolar disorders progression in the community.

description: The blue planet which is gifted by all suitable situations for life is currently struggling for its existence mainly due to various anthrapogenic actions. Forests are disappearing at a rapid pace. For years the forest resources have been exploited for quick revenue return. Mining is another cause of deforestation due to which there is loss of bio­diversity and ecological imbalance. To achieve the goals of sustainable development, participation of public is must which is possible only when the public is aware about the ecological and environmental issues. Two key aspects for sustainable development are Inter-generational equity and Intra-generational equity. Inter-generational equity emphasizes that we should hand over a safe, healthy and resourceful environment to our future generations. This can be possible only if we stop over-exploitation of resources, reduce waste discharge and emissions and maintain ecological balance.
