Abstract
A class of medications known as 5 alpha reductase (5α-reductase or 5αR) inhibitors is used to treat male pattern hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia. This study shows that Eclipta alba has 5αR inhibitory action that is helpful in the treatment of androgenic diseases. For 5αR enzyme inhibition evaluation, E. alba was extracted using methanol and petroleum ether. Further phytochemical screening can be done. Phytosterols test negatively found in methanol extract during phytochemical screening but positive in petroleum ether extract of E. alba. HPTLC data of different extracts was performed based on the phytochemical screening found. According to the HPTLC analysis, petroleum ether extract of E. alba contained 0.11% of β-sitosterol, while the methanolic extract had a higher concentration of 4.75%. The inhibitory activity of these plant extracts against 5αR was examined in comparison to the commonly used 5αR inhibitor, finasteride. IC50 measurements for petroleum ether extract of E. alba and β-sitosterol (a chemical biomarker derived from the plant material) were established as 150.76 ± 4.56 and 77.09 ± 3.07 μg/mL, correspondingly. These results indicate their potential as compelling contenders worthy of deeper exploration regarding their anti-androgenic properties. The notable abundance of β-sitosterol in the petroleum ether extract of E. alba enhances its potential for significant biological activity, particularly in terms of inhibiting the 5αR enzyme.

Vivekanand Chatap, Ganesh Choudhari, Prashant Jain, Mahesh R. Bhat
Abstract
The core focus of current research is chemical polysaccharide modification in pharmaceutical applications. The gum is made from the endosperm of Sesbania grandiflora Plant seeds that belongs to family Leguminosae. Both water-soluble and water- insoluble gum were present in the Sesbania seed powder; the water-soluble gum was removed during purification, yielding a 30% purification yield. In order to increase the applications of partially hydroxypropyl Sesbania gum, the modifications indicated here entail adding hydroxypropyl groups to the molecule under a variety of different conditions. Among the factors that were looked at were the etherifying agent concentration, alkaline volume, and preparation medium parameters, including the reaction time and temperature. The degree of substitution (DS) was raised, which boosted the unaltered gum’s solubility, stability, and viscosity. Increases in an etherifying agent and alkali concentration, volume, reaction duration, and temperature increase DS from 0.4 to 0.7. The finished product was characterized using IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, rheologic property, solubility, swelling index, and gel fraction analysis of batch F1 as an improved batch. The alternate method for developing drug-loaded nanoparticles for controlled release dosages form by suing hydroxypropyl Sesbania gum.

Abstract
A fundamental source of food and medicine for nearby Himalayan populations is the diversity of plants. The percentage yield of extract, phytochemicals, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the extracts Euterpe oleraceae, Vaccinium myrtillu, Phyllanthus embilica, Rubus ellipticus, and Rubus niveus were determined. The clinical and laboratory standards Institute’s micro broth dilution method was used to assess these extracts’ antimicrobial effects on Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while the purification of the positive extract was done by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Phytochemical analysis was done to determine the secondary plant metabolites, including alkaloids, polyphenols, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, carbohydrates, steroids, and saponins. All five of the studied plants’ extracts showed antibacterial activity against one or more tested microorganisms. Several phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, salicylic acid, ellagic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, and caffeic acid were detected in all extracts. The R. ellipticus extracts with petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol, and water show a maximum yield between (64–56%) except R. ellipticus extract with hexane (25.82%) showed a low yield. All the extracts have major quantities of carbohydrates, flavonoids, and phenols. These results suggested that produced antimicrobial activity was due to the presence of phytoconstituents in all extracts.

Vaibhav L. Narwade, Namrata Singh
Abstract
Coagulation compartment isolation technology has also developed transdermal proteosome arrays using various non-ionic surfactants. Span-60 proteasomes have reduced HLB values, longer chains alkyl, and high transition temperatures, resulting in higher capture efficiency (84.14 ± 4.76). The addition of cholesterol LDL and lecithin also increased bilayer stiffness. The size of the vesicles decreases with his Tween method and multiplies with wingspan and consciousness. Low polydispersity index and high zeta capacity were observed in the arrangement of proteasomes. TEM studies confirm perfectly round niosomes. Infrared studies have confirmed that the vesicular form has no drug interactions and no drug is trapped. Proniosomes demonstrated slower release kinetics than controls. Captopril in 40% PEG. Additionally, the defined emission charge of span changes compared to Tween, which can be attributed to the lipophilicity of span and captopril. The release profile was observed for the Higuchi version, suggesting that drug introduction is diffusion controlled. The transdermal flux of captopril was highest for the span 60 system in isolated and closed rat skin.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Econazole nitrate (ECN) loaded nanoparticles with topical administration were the focus of the current study, which aimed to improve the topical efficacy of the medicine in treating fungal infections while also mitigating the drug’s gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Further colloidal carrier methodology was employed as a method for the topical administration of medications with precision. Method: The emulsification-diffusion (E-D) method is an alternate approach for preparing nanogels that avoids the toxicity- solvent issues associated with the emulsification-evaporation technique. Its ease of use, enhanced stability, and adaptability have all been verified by a variety of research groups. ECN loaded with dichloromethane in stabilizer solution, formulated by high-speed homogenization at elevated pressure. The addition of aqueous phase with repeated homogenization cycles causes drug diffusion into nanogels. Further addition of mannitol as cryoprotectant and Carbapol 940 as gelling agent stabiles the formulation. Results: The typical size of the particles, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential were all measured with the use of the Malvern zetasizer. Of the five NFs, the lyophilized batch of NF3 exhibited the lowest zeta potential (-11.6 mV) and the PDI (0.208), indicating that the composition was stable. DSC and XRD analysis revealed an amorphous transformation of ECN. The scanning electron micrograph demonstrated discrete, roundish particles. The existence, viscosity, and spreading ability of a gelled dispersion of the selected NLCs were evaluated. Total od 77% of the medication was released in-vitro from a chosen formulation of ECN-loaded nanogels. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that ECN-loaded nanogels are an effective drug delivery system for treating fungal infections since they prolong the duration of drug release. Conclusion: Under degraded conditions, there are not any peaks that conflict with one another. As a result, a technique was developed that is highly applicable due to its sensitivity, strength, accuracy, and demonstration of stability.

Abstract
Creating efficient therapeutic techniques against multi-drug resistant pathogens is crucial in the age of rising bacterial resistance and infectious disease outbreaks. In this case, Annona squamosa seed and leaf extract were used to create silver nanoparticles, which were then assessed using various characterization techniques, including UV-vis scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, particle size, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The synthesized AgNPs were tested for their ability to combat a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as their ability to control free radicals and inflammation brought on by skin damage caused by microbial infection. AgNPs from seeds have a greater effect than those from leaves, so they were used to create several batches of gel formulation utilizing different gelling agents such as HPMC, chitosan, and Carbopol. Gel was also evaluated for its physical characteristics, including color, clarity, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and extrudability. It also underwent a centrifugation test and a drug release test. Since the F6 batch outperformed the other batches in the evaluation test, it was chosen to evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Abstract
RP-HPLC and HPTLC are two easy, sensitive, efficient, and accurate procedures that allow for simultaneous estimates of Z and E guggulsterone, A-11-KBA, and 11-KBA. For the HPLC method, we recommend the use of a symmetry C18 column. Using a solvent gradient based on solvent A (orthophosphoric acid) and solvent B (methanol), the effluent was monitored at 250 nm with a 1.0 mL/min flow rate. The peaks of 11-KBA and A-11-KBA were eluted at 5.8 and 6.3 minutes, while those of Z and E-guggulsterone were at 4.8 and 5.3 minutes. For the HPTLC method of separation, a silica gel layer was applied on an aluminum plate prewashed in methanol using a Camag Linomat V applicator fitted with a 100 μL syringe. The linear expansion was carried out using a solvent mixture of n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol (v/v/v: 10:3:3:1, respectively). Camag T.L.C. scanner III (V 1.4.3.6336), operating in reflectance-absorbance mode at 254 nm and controlled by win CATS software, was used to carry out the densitometric scanning. The R.F. resolutions for 11-KBA, A-11-KBA, E-guggulsterone, and Z-guggulsterone in the selected mobile phase were 0.68, 0.61, 0.39, and 0.28, respectively. The linearity, accuracy, and precision of the techniques were all confirmed. The proposed methods were successful in estimating E- and Z-guggulsterone as well as 11-KBA and A-11-KBA.

Abstract
The aim is to assess the importance of measuring healthy habits by pregnant women, that enhance different factors of mother and fetus health. We evaluate the change and variations in dietary recommendations. A female went through a lot of physical and mental changes in different stages of pregnancy and there are some common symptoms such as vomiting, fatigue, nausea, frequent urination, dizziness, etc. Certain hormonal changes are there to balance the body’s fatigue, tiredness, and hormones, few dietary recommendations are mentioned and it has been concluded that diet plays an important role during pregnancy, and meeting all the nutrition needs is an essential factor in planning the diet. Many diseases/deficiencies are there such as goiter, iodine deficiency, folate deficiency, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational weight gain, Neural tube defects, and much more. A detailed view is mentioned below in the following paper: On average, pregnancy lasts 40 to 42 weeks (Nine months). On average, weight gain for a pregnant woman is 12 to 14 kg, thus weight gain can lower the risk of complications during labor and also lower the risk of LBW (low birth weight). Low GWG increases the risk of having an LBW infant. The average weight of the baby should be 2.5–3 kg. A baby having this much body weight should be considered a healthy infant. We provide up-to-date advice for achieving optimal nutrition before conception, throughout breastfeeding, in the first two years of life, and for preschoolers, with an eye on long-term health benefits. These guidelines are intended to aid in the primary prevention of obesity and the non-communicable diseases it is linked to among economically privileged groups, such as European women and children. Medical professionals should be incentivized and educated to promote and advise patients on preconception nutrition, which includes enhancing adolescent nutrition and health. Women who are physically active, eat healthily, don’t smoke, don’t drink excessively, and have a good body mass index (BMI) have a higher chance of having a safe pregnancy. Women of childbearing age should have their consumption and status of specific micronutrients closely monitored, especially folate. Women at risk for insufficient dietary intake of certain micronutrients may benefit from taking dietary supplements containing iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iodine, and maybe others. Smoke and alcohol should be strictly eliminated from the diet. Yes, diet plays an important role during pregnancy but staying physically active is equally important for the mother and the baby to promote general health and well-being. Exercise and stretching can reduce the risk of excessive maternal weight gain or gestational weight gain(Obesity). A long walk can greatly help a pregnant woman after lunch or in the morning.

Abstract
Personalized medicine, medication discovery, and development might all benefit greatly from AI’s incorporation into pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Target identification, therapeutic effectiveness prediction, drug design optimization, obstacles, and future possibilities are all explored in this survey of AI applications in these areas. An overview of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is presented first, stressing the significance of knowing how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted and the correlation between drug concentration and pharmacological effect. The article then looks into the function of AI in target identification, exploring how machine learning algorithms and data integration may be used to discover new drug targets and enhance the design of existing ones. Classification and regression methods are also investigated for their potential use in the prediction of therapeutic efficacy using AI. Patient data, molecular interaction data, and clinical response data are just a few examples of the types of data that may be used to fuel the creation of predictive models that might assist in dosage and efficacy optimization. Metrics and procedures for validating these models are addressed to evaluate their efficacy. Additionally, de novo drug design, virtual screening, and structure-based drug design are all discussed in relation to the use of AI in optimizing drug development. The paper provides examples of how AI has been applied successfully in different settings, demonstrating its potential to hasten the drug discovery process and enhance treatment outcomes. We examine data availability, interpretability, and ethical implications as challenges and limits of AI in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. To guarantee these technologies’ proper and ethical use, we also discuss the regulatory elements and rules for applying AI in drug research. Possibilities and prospects for the use of AI in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are discussed as a conclusion to the review. It stresses the significance of regulatory standards and clinical translation, as well as the incorporation of multiomics data, deep learning methods, real-time monitoring, explainable artificial intelligence, collaborative networks, and more.

33. Horse Chestnut Seed Extract: An Opportunity for Creating Evidence- based New Natural Products
Poonam N. Chougule, Kailasam Koumaravelou, Nilesh B. Chougule
Abstract
For centuries, herbal remedies have been used to prevent and treat disease. Horse chestnut seeds are an abundant source of phytoconstituents containing triterpenoid saponins, with thirty molecules isolated and characterized. Escin, which is a combination of acylated triterpene glycosides composed of α- and β-escin, is the major biologically active component of horse chestnut seed extract. Escin is the most researched veno-active compound with anti-inflammatory, anti-oedematous, and antioxidant properties. Due to their unique three pharmacological actions, escin is a well-established molecule for the management of venous diseases such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and hemorrhoids. The available treatments for CVI have some disadvantages, including severe side effects, expensive surgical options, long duration of treatment, and limited accessibility to allopathic drugs. As a result, phytoconstituents and lifestyle changes can be seen as safe and effective therapy options for CVI management because they have no major side effects and can simultaneously function on several targets. This review article focuses on the chemical components of horse chestnut extract, particularly the phytoconstituents escin, and proanthocyanidins, which have been extensively studied in preclinical and clinical studies. The review article provides a comprehensive overview of their potential therapeutic benefits in managing symptoms of CVI and their regulatory status.

34. An Updated Overview on Personalized Medicine: The Next-Gen Paradigm
Himanshu Sharma, Urmi Bhadouria, Teenu Sharma, Arindam Chatterjee, Parveen Kumar
Abstract
Personalized medicine is a translational approach that utilizes an individual’s genetic profile to guide illness prevention, diagnosis, and treatment choices. The human genome project data is being used to enhance personalized treatment. “Personalised” medicine is beneficial over “individualized” medicine as it suggests that future hazards may be predicted based on the individual’s genes. The advancement of technology for personalized medicine depends heavily on standardization, integration, and harmonization. The scientific practices at various research sites, the connection between science and healthcare, and the relationship between science, healthcare, and broader society, including the legal and ethical paradigms, the dominant cultural and political ethos, and the expectations of patients and citizens – all need to be in harmony. There are several descriptions of the current existing legislation that regulates genetic screening and genomic medical services in various countries around the world, highlighting discrepancies and specifying areas of law where harmonization may be needed to enable the use of individually tailored medication globally. The promise of personalized medicine can only be fulfilled by placing the individual at the centre of personalized medicine and tailoring care to each patient’s unique psychological and social needs in addition to their biological profiles.
