Shankaraiah Pulipaka, Ashish Suttee, M. Ravi Kumar, Ramesh Kasarla
Abstract
Diabetes might be cured with the use of medicinal herbs and environmentally friendly production of metallic nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and ZnO NPs. The methanolic leaf extracts of Alpinia mutica and Tradescantia spathaeca were used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), respectively, for in-vitro evaluation.
Methanolic leaf extracts of A. mutica and T. spathaeca were used to create AgNPs and ZnO NPs under ambient conditions using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). Their ability to block alpha- and beta-amylase confirmed the in-vitro antidiabetic efficacy of methanolic leaf extract of plant (MLEP), AgNPs, and ZnO NPs. In this study, α- amylase activity of ZnO and nanoparticles of silver produced from natural sources will be evaluated in an effort to lessen the toxicity and negative effects of the inhibitor used to treat diabetes. Antidiabetic action was especially impressive in the ZnO and silver nanoparticles produced using methanolic extracts of A. mutica and T. spathaeca. Because of their promising in-vitro antidiabetic action with alpha-amylase activity, MLEP of A. mutica and T. spathaeca, AgNPs, and ZnO NPs show promise for future medical uses.

Abstract
The development of novel antitumor agents is paramount in the fight against drug resistance and its associated cardiotoxicity. The present study carried out a thorough anticancer evaluation of N- (4-oxo-2-(4-((5-aryl-1,3,4 thiadiazole-2yl) amino) phenyl thiazolidine-3-yl) benzamide (TH08) in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice. Our assessment included the measurement of tumor weight, the duration of survival for mice with tumors, and tumor cell growth inhibition. Additionally, we analyzed hematological parameters, like white and red blood cells and hemoglobin levels. The results we obtained clearly demonstrate that TH08 is a potent anticancer agent that exerts a positive effect on EAC cells. To determine TH08’s effectiveness, We compared our findings to those achieved by using the standard medication, bleomycin. Our findings provide compelling evidence that TH08 has significant potential as a novel antitumor agent.

Johnsymary F, Komala M
Abstract
Hyperglycemia caused by defects in insulin synthesis and/or activity characterizes diabetes mellitus (DM), which is categorized as a metabolic condition. Some patients may develop side effects or drug interactions when treating these disorders with synthetic drugs. Due to this, there is an increased interest in researching the medical properties of plants and herbal substances while also considering synthetic medications’ interactions and negative effects. To isolate and identify the flavonoid 5-hydroxy-apigenin-7-O-Dglucopyranoside, the bark of Olax scandens was extracted with methanol in a soxhlet system (5HAG). The current study set out to examine 5HAG’s potential ability to treat albino wistar rats with STZ-induced diabetes. The chemical component significantly lowered rats’ blood glucose levels and improved lipid markers. Hepatic enzymes improved significantly, including SGOT, SGPT, ALP, plasma insulin, and total proteins. Overall, this study exposes new avenues for researching how 5HAG reduces blood sugar levels so drastically, but according to the aforementioned study, the flavonoid possesses antidiabetic properties because of its antioxidant activity. In addition, the isolated flavonoid may significantly impact the reduction of blood sugar and its complications by acting as a lead molecule in the identification of novel antidiabetic drug candidates.

5. Development, Optimization, and Validation of a RP-HPLC Method with PDA Detection for the Concurrent Quantification of Emtricitabine, Tenofovir Alafenamide, and Dolutegravir in Both Bulk and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms
Chandrudu J, Gandhimathi R
Abstract
A simple, quick, precise and accurate HPLC (reverse phase) approach has been designed and optimized using a chemometric tool to estimate dolutegravir, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide, respectively. A design of central composite was used to optimize the response surface. As a result of trial and error, the parameters such as rate of solvent flow, buffer pH, and methanol concentration in the solvent system were determined. System responsiveness was estimated using the optimization process’s capacity factor, resolution, and retention time. The separation was achieved by using a solvent system containing 58.90% methanol and 41.10 triethylamine buffer (4.56 pH) at the rate of flow of 0.8 mL per minute on a phenomenex carbon (18) column (150.4 4.6 mm; I.D., 5) under optimal conditions. The duration of retention for emtricitabine was 2.91 minutes, for tenofovir alafenamide it was 6.114 minutes; and for dolutegravir it was 8.824 minutes. A correlation coefficient of 0.9998, 0.9997, and 0.9999 was determined for emtricitabine’s calibration curves from 40 to 200 g/mL, tenofovir alafenamide’s from 5 to 25 g/mL, and emtricitabine’s from 10 to 50 g/mL, respectively. This approach was effective in estimating the simultaneous doses of medications in commercial combination forms.

6. The Effect of Selegiline on Reducing Oxidative Stress in Polymorphonuclear Blood Cells (Lymphocytes) Isolated from Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Purbajit Chetia, Abdul B Ahmed
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a persistent condition resulting in an inflammatory response abide by the pathological mechanism of autoimmunity that causes the cartilage, bone, and joint tissues to deteriorate, lowering one’s quality of life in general. Several studies have suggested a significant association between oxidative stress caused by leukocyte-mediated inflammatory responses and the conversion of a substantial amount of oxygen into diverse free radicals, resulting in oxidative harm, including the chronic nature of rheumatoid arthritis. The utilization of DMARDs which are known as biologic and conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, has exhibited encouraging results. However, it is crucial to prioritize the discovery of novel and efficacious medications for rheumatoid arthritis in order to address the constraints associated with current therapeutic approaches. Selegiline, a synthetic drug primarily employed to manage Parkinson’s disease, predominantly interferes with the MAO-B enzyme, also known as monoamine oxidase. Additionally, it has been demonstrated to possess free radical-neutralizing properties. The goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of selegiline in reducing oxidative stress indicators in peripheral blood mononuclear lymphocyte cells isolated from individuals diagnosed with RA. Peripheral blood was collected from 20 RA patients in accordance with the American College of Rheumatology standard. Lymphocytes were isolated following incubation with 1.5 μg/mL phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and treatment with different concentrations (50–200 μg/mL) of selegiline. This study reveals that selegiline in concentrations of 150 and 200 μg/mL was effective enough to alleviate oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and improving the level of natural defensive enzymes playing as antioxidants. Therefore, it can be concluded that the MAO-B inhibitor selegiline has potential as a non-toxic repurposed medicine for curtailing the pathological effects of oxidative overload during RA, unlocking the opportunity for further investigation into the impact on other inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils.

Kavita Chandramore, Sandeep Sonawane
Abstract
The stability of bisoprolol in tablet and bulk form was developed and validated using chromatographic methods. The bisoprolol was exposed to oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide, heat (dry and wet) and photolytic conditions, acid, alkali, and water hydrolysis. However, considerable degradation was observed in acid, alkali, oxidative, and wet heat thermal conditions. The drug’s stability under photolytic and dry heat conditions was established. The drug and its degradation products were separated on ODS C-18 with the specification of (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) and the mobile phase containing acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (20 mM, pH 8) (60:40, v/v). According to ICH Q2 (R1) all method validation parameters are verified. Determination of the active pharmaceutical ingredient was not interfered by excipients or degradation products. In the 6–14 μg/mL range, the response was shown to be linear. One degradation product’s LC-MS m/z values and fragmentation patterns matched an impurity mentioned in the drug’s European Pharmacopoeia monograph. The remaining three were unidentified degradation products. LC-MS fragmentation experiments were used to characterize the products. The findings may lead to the suggestion of a more thorough drug degradation mechanism. The Toxtree software (Version 3.1.1) was then used to forecast the toxicity of the degradation products. Additional toxicity determination was carried out by using in-silico method.

8. An efficient RP-HPLC-PDA Method for Estimating Dolutegravir and Lamivudine in Combined Pharmaceutical Formulations using a Box-Behnken Design Approach
A. Ramyasree, S. Umadevi
Abstract
This study used a quality-by-design (QbD) method to build a novel, high-performance reverse-phase fluid chromatography (RP-HPLC) system with diode array detection (DAD) for the simultaneous measurement of dolutegravir (DLG) and lamivudine (LMV) tablets. In accordance with the International Council for Harmonization’s (ICH) requirements, chromatographic conditions were adjusted utilizing the Box-Behnken design (BBD), and the resultant technique was verified for linearity, system appropriateness, precision, accuracy, sensitivity, robustness, and stability of the solution. At retention durations of 2,271 and 3,431 minutes, LMV and DLG peaks were separated using a C-18 column with 150 x 4.6 mm and 5 μm particles. The mobile phase was 0.1% orthophosphoric acid (OPA): acetonitrile (ACN) (50:50, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min and a pH of 3 at 25°C. Peaks were seen at 254 nm and the volume of sample injection was 20L. The percent strength of the commercially available tablet is 98.89 and 98.76 for LMV and DLG, respectively, using a standard calibration curve. The developed RP-HPLC technique’s stability is shown by the suggested RP-HPLC method’s capacity to identify LMV and DLG in the existence of their degradation products. As per ICH requirements, the findings of the validation parameters for linearity, system appropriateness, accuracy, precision, robustness, and sensitivity were all within acceptable limits. It is simple to use, accurate, efficient, and reasonably priced to employ the innovative RP-HPLC technology with BBD application for QbD.

Abstract
A cardiac arrest patient who has recovered outside the hospital, managing body temperature is beneficial. There is still uncertainty as to what specific circumstances should be met in order for such interventions to be initiated. Researchers have used different methods to study OHCA TTM interventions due to the uncertainty surrounding their outcomes. The study’s main objective is to determine if temperature management affects survival outcomes in adult cardiac arrests occurring outside of the hospital. Several online databases were examined to collect data, including Web of Science, PubMed Central, Medline, Embase and Cochrane. Our study examined several randomized controlled trials, including randomized clinical trials and randomized controlled trials that involved TTM interventions in adult OHCA patients. An analysis was conducted based on the search criteria for screening, collecting, and extracting data. Based primarily on qualitative analysis, a synthesis was conducted. There were 21 studies with a total of 11435 participants, with a median sample of 355, and none of them demonstrated sufficient qualitative and quantitative evidence indicating that TTM interventional variants were safe, feasible, efficient, and effective on neurological and mortality outcomes in OHCA patients.

Abstract
In this study, our objective was to explore the phytochemical constituents of Clerodendrum serratum (CS), Solanum xanthocarpum (SX), and Nyctanthes arbortristis (NA) and evaluate their anti-inflammatory activity. Subsequently, we aimed to develop a polyherbal ointment formulation incorporating these extracts. The phytochemical screening of the CS extract showed carbohydrates, steroids, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. Similarly, the SX extract exhibited the presence of all these constituents, along with the additional presence of alkaloids. The NA extract demonstrated the presence of alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, and flavonoids. CS roots exhibited notable inhibition of inflammation at the given doses and periods of 1 to 5 hours, surpassing the effectiveness of the standard anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin. The polyherbal ointments were found to be greenish, non-transparent, and with acceptable pH. F3 formulation demonstrated excellent viscosity of 1200 cp, making it easy to apply on the skin. Furthermore, formulation F3 demonstrated exceptional spreadability, covering a diameter of 1.8 cm, surpassing the other formulations. Importantly, all polyherbal formulations were non-irritant when applied to the skin, as evidenced by the absence of edema or erythema upon application to rat skin. F3 formulation indicated no physicochemical variations in comparison to initial results in stability studies. Even after the 6-month stability study, the ointment formulation maintained a smooth and greenish consistency, signifying its durability and stability. These findings suggest that the developed polyherbal ointment formulation can be stored at room temperature without any additional requirements. Overall, this polyherbal ointment formulation represents a promising alternative approach to existing topical formulations for the effective treatment of inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Introduction: The naturally occurring human polypeptide known as vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) has a variety of physiological effects that have been well-documented, including anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory, anti-hypertensive, enhancement of cardiac contractility, vasodilation, and fostering immune-neuroendocrine connection. Aviptadil (AVP) is the name of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide’s synthetic version. Aims and Objectives: The main goal of this work was to create a novel, stable, lyophilized version of aviptadil injection. The stability of aviptadil is of utmost importance due to its classification as a polypeptide, recommended storage condition of -20°C, and susceptibility to degradation in aqueous solutions. To achieve this, the aviptadil injection was processed using freeze-drying technology with the addition of mannitol, serving as a bulking and cryoprotectant agent, within an aqueous solvent system. The choice of cryoprotectant and solvent system was based on factors such as the drug substance’s solubility, stability, and feasibility in the manufacturing process. During the development of the formulation, the bulk solution underwent evaluation to assess the effects of process time, temperature, and compatibility with the materials it came into contact with. Results and Discussion: The incorporation of mannitol, a sugar alcohol, led to the stability of the bulk solution for up to 24 hours before lyophilization when stored at temperatures between 2 and 8°C. Moreover, enhanced stability was observed post freeze-drying. The lyophilization process was meticulously optimized, taking into account critical quality attributes such as description, active drug content, pH of the reconstituted solution, reconstitution time, moisture content, and color absorption percentage. The bulk solution demonstrated compatibility with various materials employed in manufacturing the drug product, such as stainless-steel vessels, polyethersulfone (PES) and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane filters. Notably, when the drug product bulk solution was kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours, there were no appreciable changes in the critical quality features found. The optimized freeze-dried product successfully meets the quality target product profile (QTPP)’s preset acceptance criteria. Conclusions: The stabilization of AVP injection was successfully achieved through the implementation of the lyophilization process with mannitol as the cryoprotectant. The envisaged injectable formulation proves to be safe and showcases its economic viability, convenience, and overall safety in the preparation methods. These findings strongly support the viability of the freeze-dried formulation as a technically sound solution for ensuring the stability of aviptadil as a drug substance within the freeze-dried injectable dosage form. This formulation warrants more research due to its potential to treat patients with conditions such acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, and sarcoidosis.

S. Poongothai, R. Srinivasan, M. Rama
Abstract
Oral drug administration is essential for treating diverse diseases due to its acceptable route, non-invasiveness, minimal off-target side effects, versatility, and painless patient delivery. However, multiple drug accessibility is increasing currently but there is often a deficiency of indication in developing procedures with assessment of two diverse medicinal formulations. Oral administration of a novel antiepileptic drug, levetiracetam in grouping with either L-dopa unaccompanied or L-dopa/Ropinirole treatments was associated with dyskinesia. Altered shooting patterns of neurons relating to a compulsive harmonization process may back to the origin of dyskinesia. The current study aims to develop a dissolution technique and validate the antiparkinsonian drug-ropinirole and antiepileptic drug-levetiracetam tablets by RP-HPLC, which plays a major part in pharmaceutical formulations. The optimal dissolution conditions were experienced for the products respective to the pharmaceutical formulation and applied to assess the dissolution profiles. Ideal settings for the dissolution method were500 mL of pH of 4.0 citrate buffer, 50 rpm and 250 nm for ropinirole tablets and 900 mL of distilled water, the rotation speed of paddle 50 rpm and 217 nm for levetiracetam tablets, then 3.84 and 3.87 minutes were set as the retention time of ropinirole and levetiracetam tablets, respectively. Technique optimization and validation process helps to reduce the bioequivalence of both dosage forms. The current study ensues detailed information on the drug release, even if there is a change in pH medium, filter, rpm, instrumentation, etc. Focusing on current pharmaceutical sciences, the proposed correlative dissolution study coupled with RP-HPLC analysis could offer a holistic insight into the performance of future oral drug delivery systems.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to develop Dasatinib/hesperidin-loaded-SLNs for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Utilizing a high-shear homogenizer for the synthesis, “central composite design (CCD)” was used to enhance the dasatinib/hesperidin loaded-SLNs. The optimized SLNs had PDI, particle size, and average entrapment efficiency of 0.12%, 162.3 nm, and 93%, respectively. Therefore, by enhancing the total amount of Compritol as well as sonication time the polydispersity was increased. Poloxamer 188 content had a significant influence in decreasing the polydispersity index and the entrapment efficiency (EE) of the SLN was found to be 93%. Through TEM, SEM, FTIR, DSC, and HPLC analysis, SLNs were characterized, and their anticancer efficiency was assessed in both in-vitro and in-vitro cell viability tests (MTT). SLNs containing dasatinib and hesperidin have rounded and spherical shape having a diameter of 200 nm. DSC and FTIR tests showed compatibility between the drugs and excipients. The drug release from optimized SLN formulation was under observation for 48 hours. It was found that the medication released its drug components over a protracted period of time, with 30% of the drug being released in the first four hours and the remainder 76% in the next 48 hours. According to the IC50 values determined by an independent study, dasatinib, hesperidin, and SLN were 33.97, 5158, and 4.03 μg/mL, respectively. A comparison of SLN and free drugs revealed that SLN was more effective at cytotoxicity. In this study, dasatinib and hesperidin-loaded SLNs for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) against HL60 human leukemia cell lines were prepared and evaluated using a novel formulation approach free of toxic excipients.

Kanittada Thongkao, Pimporn Thongmuang, Yuttana Sudjaroen
Abstract
Capsaicin is found naturally in the Solanaceae family of plants and linked to numerous health advantage. Capsaicin is also responsible for the antimicrobial properties of chili pepper. Thai Capsicum cultivar “Bang Chang chili pepper” (Capsicum annuum var. acuminatum), initially cultivated in Bang Chang subdistrict, Samut Songkhram, Thailand. This study aims to determine bioactive substances such as capsaicin and phenolic content, as well as antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Escherichia coli and Cutibacterium acnes) and yeast, Candida albicans, and cytotoxicity with human skin fibroblast cells. The TPC and capsaicin in the ethanol extract were 2.50 ± 0.13 mg GAE/g and 0.0104 ± 0.0 mg/100 mL, while in the oil extract were 0.0020 ± 0.0 mg/100 mL and 1.05 ± 0.05 mg GAE/g. Antimicrobial of this chili pepper was found in only oil extract that was inhibited against to C. albicans (inhibition zone = 10.68 ± 0.49 mm)There was preferrable when compared to fluconazole ((inhibition zone = 24.65 ± 0.25 mm). Both extracts (0.0001-1.0 mg/mL) had no effect on human fibroblast cells, implying that they are non-toxic. The finding may imply that non-pungent capsicum strains cannot inhibit bacterial growth due to low amount of phenolics and capsaicin contained. Capsicum variety and temperature of extraction were also affected on their property. As a result, oil extract was favored for C. albicans suppression. This pepper extract can be used as an antifungal agent, and a pharmaceutical formulation must be developed.

Archana Naik, Chhaya Gadgoli, Nikita Patil, Ruchira Salunkhe
Abstract
Most antidiabetic polyherbal preparations contain Trigonella foenum-graecum, Momordica charantia and Cinnamomum zeylanicum as active components. Although all ingredients are popular as antidiabetic agents, but the analytical method is not available for simultaneous estimation of marker compounds from herbal formulations due to several challenges. Hence, the HPTLC method was developed for simultaneous estimation of three active phytoconstituents viz. diosgenin, charantin and hydroxychalcone in polyherbal formulation. The stationary phase of the optimized HPTLC method is silica gel 60 GF254 and the mobile phase is chloroform: glacial acetic acid: methanol: water (4:3:2:1v/v). The Rf value of phytoconstituents charantin, diosgenin, and hydroxychalcone was found to be 0.72, 0.61 and 0.30 at detection wavelength 342 nm. According to ICH criteria, the analytical method validation was performed. All three markers showed linear and proportional responses in the 400 to 1400 ng/band range, which confirmed the markers’ linearity. Precision measurements were made at the intraday and interday levels, and the results were satisfactory and in line with the specifications. Accuracy was determined by the recovery method and %recovery was found to be in the range of 85.20 to 97.19. The validated HPTLC method was utilized to analyze the marketed Quanto Diab Forte capsule formulation containing charantin, diosgenin, and hydroxychalcone. The proposed validated analytical method was found to be simple, precise and accurate.

Abhijeet Sutar, Tejas Dhole, Shruti Ringe, Shounak Kulkarni
Abstract
The photodegradation study of ornidazole in an aqueous solution was performed by using the multivariate curve resolution-alternative least square technique. The sample solution was exposed to direct sunlight for 42 hours, and the spectroscopic data was obtained at predetermined intervals of wavelengths. MCR-ALS, which is a chemometric technique, was applied to the data set. Initially, soft modeling was used, followed by hard modeling. The results show that ornidazole undergoes photodegradation via a two-step process in an aqueous medium, with three species involved in the degradation process. The initial concentration of pure ornidazole decreases while the concentration of intermediate start increasing and the concentration of intermediate falls with the formation of a new product. Thus, we have got three pure spectra in the MCR-ALS process. The reaction kinetics was performed with the hard modeling technique using kinetic constrain and the rate constant of the reaction was found to be k1 = 0.0955 and k2 = 1.287, respectively.

Ganesh B. Nigade, Meenakshi N. Deodhar, Rajashree S. Chavan
Abstract
Bael avaleha is a semisolid ayurvedic formulation containing the fruit of bael, which acts as an anthelmintic to treat diarrhea, dysentery, and IBS. It strengthens the gastrointestinal tract, heals ulcers, and alleviates abdominal pain. The avleha contains excess sugar, which can result in faster absorption of active ingredients in the biological system. Researchers have begun scrutinizing ayurvedic formulations for quality and consistency, with quality testing being conducted to ensure that the quality of ayurvedic formulations adheres to ayurvedic standards. Phytochemical fingerprinting by spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques is becoming more popular in assessing the efficacy of ayurvedic products. Previous studies evaluated phenolic compounds, flavonoids, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes in Bael fruit using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry(GC-MS), HPTLC, and HPLC methods.This study evaluated marketed bael avaleha formulations (BA I and II) for organoleptic characteristics, physical parameters, and phytoconstituents. A UV-vis spectrophotometric study was conducted for quantitative analysis of phytochemicals. The extract of bael avaleha formulations BA I and BA II were found to have a total phenolic content of 42.34 ± 0.090 mg GAE/g and 38.52 ± 0.065 mg GAE/g, a flavonoid content of 14.34 ± 0.070 mg QE/g and 12.42 ± 0.086 mg QE/g, sugar content of 69.44 ± 0.020 mg Glu/g and 67.18 ± 0.065 mg Glu/g, and a reducing sugar content of 31.34 ± 0.025 mg Glu/g and 29.08 ± 0.047 mg Glu/g, respectively. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of extract of bael avaleha formulations were recorded in region 4000–400 cm−1 and confirmed the presence of hydroxy group, aromatic C-H stretch, C=C and C-O group. RP-HPLC method was developed and used for the estimation of gallic acid, scopoletin, umbelliferone, and imperatorin in the extract of Bael avaleha formulations.

Shilpa R. Borate, Atishkumar S. Mundada
Abstract
The goal of present study is to validate the developed assay method per International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Q2R1 recommendations and create a sensitive, reproducible, and practical method for detecting curcumin and Vitamin E in pure and in cosmeceutical formulations. With the creation and validation of a straightforward, accurate, and repeatable UV spectrophotometric method, curcumin and vitamin E in bulk and cosmeceutical formulation may now be determined simultaneously. The need for a new technique to estimate curcumin and vitamin E in a cosmeceutical formulation has become more pressing due to the lack of a well-described UV analytical method for doing so. Q absorption at 231 and 285 nm were used in the calculation. Vitamin E (16–24 μg/mL) and curcumin (8–12 μg/mL) both behave according to Beer-Lambert’s law at the designated wavelengths. The recovery experiments verified the method’s adherence to ICH standards for accuracy, precision, and resilience. The method under consideration can be employed to accurately determine the quantities of vitamin E and curcumin present in a cosmeceutical formulation.

31. Application of Quality by Design in RP-HPLC for Robust Impurity Profiling and Stability Assessment of Doxylamine
Avinash Chavan, R. Gandhimathi
Abstract
The primary purpose of this research was to create and validate a doxylamine detection method using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) for use in pharmaceutical formulations and bulk materials. Quality by design (QbD) served as the inspiration for this approach. The method was developed by running a C18 column at 1-mL/min through a mobile phase of 60 parts methanol to 40 parts 0.1% OPA water (pH 2.8). The detection was done with a UV detector set to 259 nm. All requirements for system applicability were satisfied by the suggested approach, including an acceptable asymmetry factor and an adequate number of theoretical plates. A correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9990 was used to confirm linearity over a concentration of 10–50 g/mL. The approach showed good accuracy by a mean %recovery ranging from 99.59–101.45% and a %RSD between 0.11 and 0.81. Precision tests conducted both intraday and across days showed that the medication content stayed within allowable bounds. The approach was found to be robust, with only minor variations in flow rate, mobile phase composition, and detecting wavelength significantly affecting the accuracy and specificity. A 0.71 g/mL LoQ and a 0.23 g/mL LoD were determined to be analytical limits of detection and quantification, respectively. This study substantiates the development of a reliable, long-lasting, and cost-effective QbD-based RP-HPLC method suitable for the comprehensive analysis of doxylamine in tablet formulations and bulk dosages.

32. Formulation And Evaluation of Quercetin Loaded Nanosponges of Abiraterone Acetate
Suvarna Thorat, Manoj Tare
Abstract
A novel idea in medicine delivery is the use of nanosponges. In the current research, an effort was made to create in-situ gel based on nanosponges that contained abiraterone acetate loaded with quercetin. The major purpose of nanosponges is to offer a prolonged release, lessen the negative effects of conventional dosage forms, and enhance the bioavailability of abiraterone acetate by using quercetin as a natural bioenhancer. Combining ethyl cellulose and eudragit in varying quantities, the quasi emulsion solvent diffusion technique was used to create nanosponges and quercetin as a natural bioenhancer. The formulation properties of the produced nanosponges were assessed. All batches of nanosponges had their manufacturing yield and trapping effectiveness assessed. Formulations F 03-P1 and F 07-P2 were found to be the optimum formulations based on results. Both F 03- P1 and F 07-P2 were used to create the gels G1 and G2. Viscosity, spreadability, drug content, and in-vitro tests showing 28.88% drug release after 24 hours all favored G2 as the optimal formulation. A gel base was created using the optimized formulation after it had been tested for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Nanosponges containing gel had evaluated for different tests. According to the study, adding drugs to nanosponges can increase the rate of drug release, improve medication targeting at a particular spot, and hence lessen systemic toxicity.

Akula Sowjanya, G. Shiva Kumar
Abstract
Background: Despite the availability of numerous treatment options, cancer remains the primary cause of death in the current decade. The present study integrates computational and experimental methods to identify and develop a novel promising compound with anticancer properties. The study aims to evaluate the potential anticancer properties of selected molecules based on docking score, compliance with Lipinski’s rule of five, and in-silico safety prediction. Structure drug design by molecular docking methods was used to explore ligand conformations at various target binding sites. The in-silico physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicology properties of designed molecules were predicted using online software. Further, in-vitro, anticancer properties were studied by MTT Assay and flow cytometry. Results: 2-Butyl-3- (3, 5-diiodo-4- hydroxybenzoyl) benzofuran is one of the selected ligands showed potent anticancer activity against HT- 29 (Human Colon Cancer) cells and A549 (Human lung cancer) at IC50 concentrations. Further apoptosis studies demonstrated the possible mode of action against HT-29 cells. The proposed mechanism of action may be caspase-3 activation. As a consequence of caspase-3 activation, enzymes such as DNase are activated, leading to DNA fragmentation and apoptosis, and DNA fragmentation was 6.5 times greater than in untreated cells. The IC50 concentration of 2-Butyl-3- (3, 5-diiodo-4- hydroxybenzoyl) benzofuran inhibited 50% of HT-29 cells during G0/G1 phase. Conclusion: This research contributes to the burgeoning field of integrated in-vitro and in-silico analysis of biological systems, which can be used to study complicated cancer cell population dynamics. Future studies should investigate the impact on Human lung cancer cells.

36. Pharmaceutical and Clinical Assessment of Multi-source Tegretol®  Sold In Egypt
Sarah K. Amer, Hany Eldeeb, AG Eshra
Abstract
Background: Numerous studies have shown significant variability in quality and efficacy commonly exists upon switching across generic Narrow therapeutic index (NTI) medications compared to brands. However, little attention has been given to possible inequality within the same brand due to transportation and storage conditions, production site, manufacturing condition, and product specification requested by different countries. Market surveys has shown that Egypt is one of the countries suffering from this problem, which consequently augments the need for comparing and evaluating brand products marketed under the same brand name, manufactured in different countries under its own licensing trademark™ and sold in Egypt. This work studies the drug carbamazepine (CBZ) available in Egypt as Tegretol® tablets used as an oral first-line anti-epileptic drug (AED). Objectives: The present work investigate and evaluate the pharmaceutical quality and clinical efficacy of Tegretol®, obtained from Egypt and Saudi Arabia and being marketed and sold in Egypt from 2020 to 21. Methods: In-vitro quality testing included potency and uniformity of content tests performed according to USP 2019 monograph. Dissolution rates were also carried by adopting USP dissolution test for the drug. Studies of stability were adjusted at 25°C/65% RH, 45°C/75% RH and 10°C/15% RH. The clinical efficacy was studied by evaluating the pharmacokinetics parameters and blood sodium level during six months of therapy. Results: Variability between multisource Tegretol® brand products were ensured. Potency results and uniformity of content revealed statistically significant difference between Tegretol® sources. Also, variations in dissolution rates were recognized in both Tegretol® sources when dissolved in HCL/KCL, Acetate and Phosphate Buffer dissolution media. Dissimilarities were obtained for hardness and friability testing. Furthermore, a pharmacokinetically and pharmacodynamically inequivalence was ensured. Hence, hyponatremia was more prominent in patients receiving Saudi Arabian Tegretol® compared to patients taking Egyptian Tegretol®. Conclusion: Interchangeability between multi-source Tegretol brand products should be limited.

Vishal Lad, Sufiyan Ahmad
Abstract
In hyperlipidemic wistar albino rat models produced by triton and diet, the efficacy of polyherbal formulations containing four different plants was assessed. Rats exposed to Triton WR 1339 had their blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels raised. However, this was reversed when the rats were given syrup or a comparable formulation. Both formulations better lipid outlines in rats with high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia. Effects were marginally better with the usual medication Atrovastatin. Liver sinusoidal capillary dilations, cytoplasmic fatty infiltration, and granular degeneration were considerably reduced in polyherbal formulation-treated group II animals related with other groups. As per results, polyherbal formulations in dyslipidaemic circumstances reduce lipid levels by blocking the production of cholesterol and reducing lipid utilization.

Kanyapat Petcharaporn, Kanittada Thongkao, Pimporn Thongmuang, Yuttana Sudjaroen
Abstract
Chili pepper cultivars come in a broad variety of tastes, colors, sizes, and spiciness levels due to various growth conditions. The significance of different chili peppers and other spices in Thai cuisine may be seen in dishes. This study evaluated the nutritional composition and capsaicin content from “Bang Chang” Thai cultivar chili pepper after drying, and the inhibition of lipase, tyrosinase and elastase enzymes from its oil and ethanol extracts. The nutritional composition of sun-dried chili pepper was high dietary fiber and beta-carotene, which were significantly high amount portion of Thai recommended dietary intake (RDI). According to calculations and definitions, “Bang Chang chili pepper” is a non-pungent Capsicum (0-700 SHU) since it contains a low amount of capsaicin. Total phenolic content was more abundant in ethanol extract (2.50 ± 0.13 mg GAE/g) than oil extract (1.05 ± 0.05 mg GAE/g). Compared to the positive control orlistat (IC50 = 3.26 ± 0.28 mg/mL), an anti-lipase drug, ethanol extract was 2.0 times more lipase inhibitory. In addition, ethanol extract was mildly anti-tyrosinase, while oil extract was non-activity. The anti-lipase activity of ethanol extract was due to phenolic content rather than capsaicin contained and this enzyme inhibition may act on active site. We found that ethanol extract of “Bang Chang” cultivar chili pepper yielded higher TPC content and more effective anti-lipase than oil extract. The finding provided benefits on applying this chili pepper on anti-lipase use and weight management.

Nour Qawasmeh, Mohammad Assaf, Deniz Noyun
Abstract
Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. Still, awareness of this disease among undergraduate health profession university students is insufficient. Many students lack an understanding of risk factors and early signs of oral cancer. Therefore rises a need to increase awareness of oral cancer among health profession graduates so that they may be trained to recognize, diagnose, and properly manage this potentially deadly disease. Method: This study aimed to assess the current awareness and knowledge in oral cancer, focusing on prevention, early detection and adequate referral amongst undergraduate students studying a healthcare profession at Al-Quds University. This was a qualitative survey conducted among 64 senior students at various health profession undergraduate programs. The survey was distributed online and included questions about prevention, early detection, adequate referral, and overall confidence. Results: The results of the survey indicate that dental students had a higher confidence level in the subject of oral cancer than non-dental students, with the highest levels of confidence in prevention and lower levels of confidence in adequate referral. Additionally, the results suggest that a larger proportion of non-dental students showed lower confidence in the survey, and a higher proportion of dental students showed higher confidence. Conclusion: In conclusion, this survey revealed that dental students had a higher level of confidence in the areas of prevention, early detection, and overall confidence than non-dental students. Additionally, more emphasis on these aspects is recommended for all health profession students in necessary.

Ashima Jakhar, Nitesh Dahiya, Amit Patil, Himmat Jaiswal, Sheetal Mali, Deepak Sharma
Abstract
There is a lack of data on dentists’ prescribing behaviors when it comes to the correct use of antibiotics in dental treatments. Antibiotic prescriptions made by dentists were analyzed from a diagnostic perspective in a countrywide study. This study retrospectively examined national health data from January 2018 through August 2019, collected through the Prescription Information System. The analysis only included prescriptions for a single illness and at least one systemic antibiotic. Antibiotic prescribing practices and the role of dental specialization and diagnosis were studied. A total of 9,214,956 prescriptions out of 9,293,410 matched the criteria for inclusion. An average course of antibiotic treatment consists of 1.01 pills. Antibiotics were prescribed most frequently for dental caries (16.2% of cases), dental examinations (20.7% of cases), and periapical abscess without sinuses (28.1% of cases). Antibiotics were prescribed for 96.6% of patients for illogical or confusing reasons, whereas just 3.4% were given based on a single, unambiguous diagnosis, such as cellulitis or a mouth abscess. The most commonly prescribed treatment for any medical issue was amoxicillin combined with an enzyme inhibitor (58.6%). Compared to unidentified dental practitioners (58.2%; p = 0.0001), dental specialists in Groups A and B significantly overprescribed amoxicillin plus an enzyme inhibitor (67.0 and 67.8%, respectively; p = 0.0001) (data not shown). The results of the study suggest that dentists routinely and arbitrarily prescribe antibiotics with questionable rationale in the contexts studied. These results emphasize the need for dentists to begin prescribing antibiotics more deliberately and evidence-based. Educational programs, awareness campaigns, and antibiotic stewardship programmes are just some of the interventions that may be implemented to improve prescribing practices and ensure the correct use of antibiotics in dental operations. The results of this countrywide study highlight problems with dentists’ procedures for prescribing dental antibiotics. The paper states that dentists should base their prescription practices on sound reasoning and empirical data. Dentists can help with global efforts to lower antibiotic resistance and improve patient care if they prescribe them in a more reasonable and responsible manner.

Kirtimaya Mishra, Budumuru Padmasri, Swetha Vegesna, Asra Jabeen, Abhilash Dash, Satyam Kumar, Diptimayee Jena
Abstract
In this current study, the quality by design (QbD) concept is used for creating and validating a unique, resilient, accurate, and reliable spectrophotometric approach to quantify cefaclor (CEF) in injections. Fractional factorial design (FFD) was a design implemented to screen the initial parameters. Moreover, the variables went through the central composite design (CCD) to assess the dependency and optimize the design. Several measures were analyzed statistically to determine the appropriateness of the data obtained from the experiments. At 265 nm, by the use of ethanol, cefaclor displays an absorption maximum. Variables like screening, slit-width, and sampling interval were recognized as critical methods and again, evaluation was done by a CCD. A good linearity was produced for cefaclor in the range of 2 to 12 μg/mL, with R2>0.9993. The process was determined for being perfect, having a good average percent recovery (greater than 100%). According to ICH guidelines, validation of the developed method was performed. By implementing QbD principles, the spectrophotometric was created and designed to integrate the quality into the method. The process was manifested for being flexible and appropriate for identifying CEF in pharmaceuticals.

48. Correlation between Serum Troponin-I Levels and Acute Stroke in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Shilpa Patil, Dilip Patil, Amit Porwal
Abstract
Background: Studies reveal that the average age of stroke in less developed nations would be younger due to changing population structures brought on by increased mortality rates and other causes of death. The risk of death for AS patients is highest in the first few weeks and varies from 20 to 50% in the first month, depending on age, severity of stroke, other medical disorders, and treatment effectiveness for all outcomes. Furthermore, Tn subunits bind to muscle filaments, according to studies. Since it is a sensitive sign of myocardial necrosis, researchers have determined that it is widely used to diagnose acute coronary syndromes. Objective: To assess the link between serum TnI levels and AS in CAD cases. Methods: Based on the average patient volume and available resources at the KIMS, Karad from October 2017 to December 2019, our study comprised 57 patients. A structured and validated questionnaire was utilized to collect data. Microsoft Excel received the data. Tests were conducted using Epi-Info 7.2 and SPSS version 20. The student’s t-test is used to determine correlation, whereas the chi-square test was utilized to measure association. Result: A strong correlation was observed between mortality and elevated TnI levels in AS cases (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients with AIS showed significant TnI levels. Serum TnI levels were higher in patients with AIS, despite these levels being thought to be more selective for myocardial damage. TnI levels and AIS prognosis were substantially associated. The results of this study will improve our understanding of cardiac enzymes in AIS patients as well as how they impact prognosis.

Palakollu D S Sankar, Naresh Panigrahi
Abstract
The major goal of current research study was to create a sensitive tandem mass spectrometric method using electrospray ionisation and liquid chromatography for quantifying cabotegravir in biological matrices. A stationary Phenomenex C18 column with dimensions of 50 × 4.6 mm and 5.0 μm particle size of was used to achieve chromatographic elution. With the flowing rate of 0.80 mL/min, isocratic separation was done using methanol and 0.10% V/V HCOOH in a fraction of 85:15 V/V as the mobile phasic system. For drug and internal standard separation, liquid-liquid extraction was carried out using methanol and ethyl acetate (1:4) solvent solution. On repeated reaction monitoring, fragment and product ionic values were seen at m/z 406.12→142.04 for cabotegravir and 450.12→160.03 for bictegravir internal standard. Drug’s linearity graph had a r2 value of 0.9998 and was rectilinear at concentrations between 400 and 16000 ng/mL. The inter- and intra-batch accuracy %relative standard deviation values ranged from 2.54 to 5.21. The percent recovery results of the lower quality control (LQC), median quality control (MQC), and higher quality control (HQC) sample solutions were 102.85, 97.84, and 94.27%, respectively. This approach has excellent recoveries. Studies on stability were processed under various circumstances, and stability values ranged from 92.93 to 103.89%. When exposed to various stability conditions, cabotegravir is more steady for a longer time, and the approach was successfully applicable to routine examination of cabotegravir in biological samples.

50. New Amino-Anthracene-9, 10-Dione Derivatives: Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation as Powerful Neuroprotective and Antidepressant Agents
Chandrakant Suryawanshi, Rajendra Wagh
Abstract
The monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme resides in the outer mitochondrial membranes of all body cells, including the ones found in the brain, liver, and intestinal mucosa. Dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, tyramine, and tryptamine are extrinsic and indigenous amines that MAO oxidatively deaminates. MAO-A has been correlated with depression and other mental health issues, while MAO-B has been associated with the conditions Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. In a targeted assessment of naturally occurring anthraquinones, two isoforms of recombinant human MAOs were utilized. The inhibitory effects of purpurin and alizarin on MAO-A were observed, with calculated IC50 values of 2.50 and 30.1 M, respectively. This research on anthraquinones, purpurin, and alizarin offers promising new information that might eventually be used as a lead molecule in the discovery of the unique synthetic anthraquinones, anthracene 9, 10-dione compounds 1 to 9. On 96-well black polystyrene microtiter plates, both MAOs inhibiting action of 9 distinct synthetic anthracene 9,10-dione compounds has been evaluated. Compared to clorgyline, compounds 1, 2, 5, 8, and 9 inhibit MAO-A significantly, while compounds 1, 3, 5, 8, and 9 considerably inhibit MAO-B. Significant findings indicate that these compounds may be beneficial When employed to treat depression owing to their intense selective MAO-B activity and antidepressant effects as a result of their selective MAO-inhibition.

51. Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Remedy for Cough
Anjali Bedse, Ashwini Nalawade, Suchita Dhamane, Ramanlal Kachave, Vijay Wagh, Harshal Tare, Gauri Ghangale
Abstract
The most frequent reason patients seek medical assistance is because of a persistent cough, despite the fact that coughing is both a crucial defensive reflex and a universal indication of health. According to an epidemiologic study, up to 40% of people report coughing. Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) and the common cold are the most frequent causes of cough, but other causes include post-infectious cough, undiagnosed chronic cough, and cough brought on by pulmonary diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer. The most common causes of cough in children are viral URTI, chronic bacterial bronchitis, and asthma. Whether acute or chronic, cough is linked to considerably reducing health-related quality of life. Patients with chronic cough commonly report sleep disturbance, nausea, chest pains, lethargy, social humiliation, urine incontinence, and low mood. Coughing may not be effective in certain circumstances (such as respiratory tract inflammation, neoplasia, eosinophilic bronchitis, airway irritation from various pollutants, airway hyperresponsiveness from infection, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and coughing without any known cause, also known as idiopathic cough). Opioidergic central cough suppressants, such as opioids, codeine, pholcodine, noscapine, and dextromethorphan, are useful when coughing is ineffective. Constipation, sedation, respiratory depression, dependence, drowsiness, addiction, and even mortality can result from prolonged use of these cough suppressants, which restricts their use in people. The proposed research project’s objective is to develop and assess herbal dosage forms that contain the widely used spice Piper longum L. (Piperaceae).

52. Derivatization of Proline for the Enantiomeric Separation and Estimation of D-Proline in L-Proline by NP-HPLC
Gampa Nagamalleswari, M.S. Umashankar
Abstract
The core object of this exertion is to progress and validate a modest, competent and explicit method for the exodus of D and L isomers of proline in a racemic mixture and limit the content of D-Proline in commercial L-Proline. This has been technologically advanced in a chiral method using normal phase HPLC on CHIRALPAK-IA (250X4.6 mm) 5 μ column. This progress advanced with polar mobile phase ethanol encompassing modifier/additive TFA in 0.1% concentration. Due to the chromophore’s deficiency in proline, proline’s derivatization has been done using fluorescent reagent NBD-Cl. After derivatization, proline has made UV detectable at 465 nm. Within run time of 20 minutes, D and L isomers of proline were eluted at 6.72 and 9.22 minutes, respectively. The technologically advanced method was validated as per ICH guidelines. Linearity regression coefficients for both D and L-Proline are obtained as 0.999. Retrieval for D-Proline was obtained at 93 to 95% range for 4 levels. LoD and LoQ for both D- and L-Proline were detected as 0.6 and 2 ppm, respectively. Hence this method is newer, modest, particular and explicit chiral method.

This study reports preparing and characterizing alcohol-soluble extract of P. longum L. fruit powder. FTIR spectroscopy and TLC were used to characterize an alcoholic extract of P. longum. P. longum L. alcohol soluble extract was tested for its anti-tussive efficacy using the standard mouse cough model caused by ammonia liquor. Cough frequency was inhibited by 49.51% (Marketed formulation), 50.84% (Extract 100 mg/kg), 62.71% (Extract 200 mg/kg). Statistically significant (p < 0.001) difference was observed in % inhibition of cough frequency of both doses of extract when compared with the marketed formulation. This study reveals an anti-tussive activity of alcohol soluble extract of P. longum L.

54. In-vivo Evaluation of Nephroprotective Activity of Naringenin against ADPKD and MDCK-derived Cysts
T. Naga Varalakshmi, V. Chitra
Abstract
Aim: Determining the in-vivo assessment of Naringenin’s nephroprotective efficacy against Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) derived cysts. Method: Our research on the molecular mechanism of naringenin, a flavonoid present in plants and berries that has been shown to limit cell growth and protect against cancer in in-vitro and animal models, was conducted using dictyostelium, a simple, controllable biomedical model. Cultured MDCK cells were used to generate differentiated tubule cells, and these findings were extrapolated to a human kidney model employing these cells. Results: While naringenin inhibited growth in dictyostelium, it had no effect on development. In a random-gene-knockout screen, a TRPP2 (polycystin-2) knockout mutant was discovered to be resistant to naringenin’s effects on growth and random-cell movement. Changes in the divalent transient receptor cause polycystic kidney disease type 2 potential cation channel TRPP2. We found that the growth of cysts and MDCK cells might be inhibited by naringenin. Partial resistance to naringenin was achieved in this model by lowering TRPP2 levels via siRNA, as evidenced by the presence of larger cysts following treatment with 3 and 10 M naringenin compared to controls. Naringenin had no effect on chloride secretion. Conclusion: Naringenin’s influence on cell proliferation is mediated by TRPP2 in both dictyostelium and mammalian kidney cells, despite their vast evolutionary distance from one another (polycystin-2). Naringenin will be the subject of more research as a possible new therapeutic treatment for ADPKD.

55. Preterm Labor with Side Effects: Compare the Effectiveness of Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) with Isoxsuprine
Yamini Patil, Padmaja A. Havle, Shivaji V. Raje, Gauri Shinde
Abstract
Background: In India, 25% of pregnancies develop preterm labor (PTL), resulting in 10 to 69% cases of preterm birth. Medical intervention to stop labor, reduce infection rate, and avoid infant respiratory distress has been the subject of studies for a long time. PTL patients usually get tocolytics, corticosteroids, antibiotics, and other clinically symptomatic and supportive therapy to accomplish this goal. Studies further showed that these tocolytic drugs lower intracellular calcium bioavailability via biochemical pathways, hindering the interaction of actin-myosin. Due to the poor success rate of labor arrest, researchers concluded from their studies that widespread adoption of medical management for PTL has been hampered. The high rate of major side effects of tocolytic drugs, particularly beta-mimetic ones, exacerbated this. We know of no clinical evidence on PTL management in India. Objective: The effectiveness and maternal side effects of MgSO4 and isoxsuprine in PTL arrest. Methods: In our study, we included a total of 82 pregnant women who had PTL discomfort and were admitted to the labor department. Both groups were randomly assigned patients. “Group 1 patients received isoxsuprine hydrochloride, whereas group 2 patients received MgSO4”. After that, a comprehensive clinical examination included vital signs, general, systemic, external genitalia, and PV (per vaginal) results. Investigations include CBC, BT, CT, urine full examination, ABO, RH group, serum electrolytes, RBS, vaginal swab, and Renal function test (RFT). Result: Significant difference (p <0.05) indicated that MgSO4 was more effective. Conclusion: MgSO4 can be used as a tocolytic agent in PTL as it shows better tolerance capacity when compared to isoxsuprine.

The current work was designed to improve oral solubility of pemigatinib by incorporating into nanosponges (NSs). Methods: Box-Behnken Design optimized the independent parameters of polystyrene NSs formation. Polystyrene NSs were prepared by ultrasound-assisted method using diaryl carbonate as cross-linking agent, which were later characterized and formulated into tablets. Tablets got screened for the respective quality attributes. Results: A number of tests were carried out from the test runs generated by a three-factor, three-level BBD. The range of mean PS was 153 to 316 nm, the range for encapsulation efficiency% was 68.2 to 91.4%, and the value for PDI was 0.273 to 0.445. ZP for the finalized formula was determined to be -29.1 mV. The drug and excipients were compatible as confirmed by FTIR studies. SEM study confirmed that pemigatinib has successfully entrapped in interior of the polymer. In-vitro examination of the pemigatinib loaded NSs tablets were compared with a marked product and satisfactory results were obtained (98.74 ± 2.65% vs. 93.73 ± 1.06%). The prepared formulations were stable during 6 month stability study period. Conclusion: The study findings for pemigatinib NS tablets demonstrated quick dissolution since the changed solubility qualities of the drug, satisfying the intended objective of increased absorption. Formulated pemigatinib-loaded NSs can be beneficial in the treatment of cancers.

It starts off by walking through the process of removing nanocellulose from cow manure. Alpha nanocellulose has applications in tissue engineering, the administration of medicines, the healing of wounds, as well as biosensing. Each application is broken down into its component parts, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms, experimental investigations, as well as in-vitro and in-vivo evaluations to establish the viability and effectiveness of alpha nanocellulose. The review paper also discusses the difficulties encountered and the potential future applications of alpha nanocellulose derived from cow dung in biomedicine. These difficulties include the requirement for standardized extraction processes, the optimization of material properties, and the consideration of regulatory issues. This in-depth study demonstrates that alpha nanocellulose that is generated from cow dung is a versatile and environmentally friendly nanomaterial that can be used for medical applications. It is hoped that the findings of this study will inspire more research and creative applications based on the unique properties of alpha nanocellulose, possibly resulting in biomedical breakthroughs by consolidating knowledge and exploring new areas.

58. Resurgence of Human Monkey Pox: A Review
Shilpa Raut, Kajal Baviskar, Komal Mahajan, Shamal Dawange, Mayur Bidkar, Anjali Bedse, Harshal Tare
Abstract
After being prevailing in Central and West Africa throughout the 1970s, sporadic cases of monkeypox sickness have surfaced in recent years. On the other hand, the monkey pox outbreak in the United States made headlines and garnered international attention in 2003. In 2022, the virus has caused a catastrophic pandemic, with over 50 nations being affected. There were 183 new cases of monkeypox recorded to WHO in April 2023, representing a 0.2% rise in overall cases, and 14 new deaths from the disease. Monkey pox shares the poxviridae family with the smallpox virus. One explanation for the rise of monkeypox in people is the discontinuation of smallpox immunizations. The zoonotic infectious illness is distinguished by a pustular rash resembling smallpox and systemic infection with severity ranging from mild to severe. Though the condition is self-limiting, the consequences it causes can be deadly. The illness has no particular therapy, however, it can be treated using antivirals that are effective against smallpox. Vaccines for smallpox have also been shown to be effective. The current article addresses the signs and symptoms of monkeypox sickness and the transmission pathways and treatment choices.

Ingale M H, Tayade M C, Patil Y P, Salunkhe R H
Abstract
The improper disposal of pharmaceutical waste has become an increasingly important environmental and public health concern in recent years. Pharmaceutical waste includes unused, expired, or unwanted medications that can be harmful if they end up in the environment or are improperly handled. This can include prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and veterinary drugs. Pharmaceutical waste can be generated by a variety of sources, including healthcare facilities, households, and veterinary clinics. Improper disposal of these medications can lead to water and soil contamination, as well as potential harm to wildlife and humans. In addition, pharmaceutical waste can contribute to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance and other environmental issues. To address these concerns, various disposal methods have been developed to ensure the safe and effective management of pharmaceutical waste. These methods include disposal in the trash, take-back programs, incineration, and landfill disposal. However, there is still a need for improved awareness and education on proper disposal practices among healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public. This review article aims to provide an overview of the current practices and regulations related to pharmaceutical waste disposal and the challenges and opportunities for improvement in this area. Through a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature on this topic, this article will highlight the importance of proper pharmaceutical waste disposal and the need for continued research and policy interventions to ensure a safe and sustainable approach.
