Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects mainly aged patients.
Various pathogenic factors such as degeneration of cholinergic neurons, enhanced oxidative stress and
enhanced neuroinflammation are responsible for progression of AD. As per recent reports, more than 44
million people are affected by AD worldwide. The present study was designed to investigate the
neuroprotective properties of Fisetin nanoemulsion against the streptozotocin induced AD in Sprague
Dawley (SD) mice. Nanoemulsion of fisetin was prepared by using spontaneous emulsification method.
Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the formulation. The mean droplet size, zeta potential,
polydispersity index and drug loading of the optimized fisetinnanoemulsion was found to be 32±1.21 nm, -
15.99±0.58 mV, 0.26±0.51 and 99.5±2.25%, respectively. AD was induced to the SD mice through
administering 3 mg/kg of streptozotocin through intracerebro ventricular injection and then supplemented
with the 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg of fisetinnanoemulsion orally from 4th day to 23rd day. The behavioural
changes were examined using step down passive avoidance and morris water maze test. Our findings
recommended that the treatment with fisetinnanoemulsion could ameliorate the cognitive impairment by
suppressing the neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the rats induced by streptozotocin.

The term bioenhancer was first coined by Indian scientist C.K. Atal, the Director of the Regional Research
laboratory, Jammu, who discovered and scientifically validated the world’s first bioavailability enhancer,
Piperine in 1979. Bioenhancers are the molecules, which do not possess drug activity of their own at the
dose used but promotes and augment the bioavailability or the uptake of drugs in combination therapy.
They got also mention in Ayurveda in which Sanskrit term “Yogvahi,” is referred for bioenhancers which
means “to rise in effect.” Theyreduce the dosage, cost, toxicity, and other side effects, as well as the amount
of time it takes to act. Piperine molecule acts as bioenhancer for the drugs namely Nevirapine, Rifampicin,
Propranolol, Nimesulide, Ciprofloxacin. Piperine appears to top in the list of bioenhancers as it has been
used as bioenhancer for Allopathic, Ayurvedic and Unani drugs. Piperine enhances Cmax of different drugs
significantly. Different bioenhancers may have the same or different mechanisms of action. Bioenhancers
are considered to enhance the bioavailability of companion drugs either by inhibiting the drug metabolizing

During the space travel mission, astronauts' physiological and psychological behavior will alter, and
they will start consuming the terrestrial drug product. Despite microgravity, radiation exposure, rapid
changes in temperature and humidity, strong vibrations, dense vacuum, and other issues encountered, the
drug product undergoes physicochemical changes. It will ultimately impact the shelf life and diminish the
Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic profile of the drug product when API and inactive ingredient
(excipient) are exposed to the space environment, leading to changes in the structure of the compound.
Consequently, these changes in the physical and chemical properties will produce a loss of potency and the
formation of toxic degradation products. Similarly, it will affect the excipient, which reduces the activity of
the excipient, and the formation degradation product will influence the potential of the drug substance. In
these states, novel formulation strategies play a crucial role in preventing the formation of impurities,
degradant products, and potential loss of drug substances. Nano-sized drug delivery can control the drug
from hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation. Additionally, they provide the advantages of delivering the
drug to specific sites of the body at a predetermined time interval. It will also provide stability to the
photolabile drugs, exhibiting significantly less photodegradation over radiation exposure. The
pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analogs of non-clinical studies can also be evaluated using rodent
hind limb suspension analog studies. Through these rodent suspension studies, we can understand the drug
plasma profile, altered PK/PD, usage and effectiveness, and drug stability during the space mission.

IC50 value of the drug for treatment of NSCLC. The solution state pH stability of resveratrol was assessed
in various buffers ranging from pH 2 to 10 for 24 h at 37 °C and was found that RSV is Resveratrol is
relatively stable above pH 6 and has maximum degradation at pH 9. The MTT assay showed that RSV has
a IC 50 value of 40M. The scratch assay demonstrated that RSV is an effective anti-migrating agents in
A549 cell lines at a concentration greater than its IC 50 value. These results further showed that the anti-
migrating activity was both concentration and time dependent. From the present study, it can be concluded
that, RSV can effectively be used in treatment of NSCLC, however there is a need to formulate a drug
carrier, which can protect the drug in plasma and at the same time can deliver the drug in a controlled
manner.

388 421, Anand, Gujarat, India
nhrawat10@gmail.com

One of the most important qualities in pharmacy is solubility. A medicine's effectiveness is influenced by
how efficiently it dissolves in a particular media. Solubility is crucial in determining the concentration of
drug needed to generate the intended pharmacological effect as all pharmaceuticals ingested by the body
must be in the form of a solution. A drug's bioavailability is greatly affected by how well it dissolves in
water. Drugs have reduced bioavailability due to limited solubility. A medication's solubility may be
enhanced in many ways. Adding cyclodextrin to a medication can increase its solubility, among other
things. There is widespread interest and usage of cyclodextrins because of their functional excipient
properties. They are a kind of cyclic oligosaccharides characterised by an outer hydrophilic layer and an
inner lipophilic layer. Among naturally occurring cyclodextrins (CDs), γ-cyclodextrin (CD) stands out as
having the best water solubility, greatest cavity size and least toxicologically problematic profile. Aγ-CD
may form inclusion complexes with a wide variety of drugs. γ-CD molecules may improve therapeutic
bioavailability by enhancing both drug solubility and membrane permeability.Increasing a drug's solubility
is a topic we'll explore here. To increase the solubility of medications and thus their therapeutic efficacy,
this study is set out to examine how cyclodextrin in combination with different solubilizers could be
employed in this regard.

and acrylamide (AM). Variable amounts of AM and KPS were used to optimize the best grade based on the
highest percentage of grafting efficiency, and the results were investigated using intrinsic viscosity
measurement, FT-IR, DSC, H-NMR spectra, and X-ray diffraction. The degree of swelling is determined
by the concentration of mucilage, monomer, and the density of crosslinking in the polymeric network. The
microwave irradiation process with potassium persulfate as the redox initiator is a visible, green, and cost-
effective method. The BSM-4 batch showed 464% grafting and 107.23% grafting efficiency. FTIR, DSC,
H-NMR and XRD analysis showed result about completion of grafting process and changes in functional
groups. The BSM-4 batch proved that basil seed mucilage polymeric network is totally safe for oral drug
delivery of BCS class II and IV drugs. The findings of the toxicity study indicate that the developed
polymeric network is safe and non-toxic. As a conclusion, the Basil seed mucilage-based polymeric
network will be encouraging for long-term delivery of any BCS Class II or IV drug, and acute toxicity
testing proved that the mucilage-based network had been secure for oral drug delivery.

From a few decades, Cancer has become one of the deadliest diseases, in comparison with other diseases
and with an increase in the risk of more cancer patients. Various formulation was invented by the research
to overcome the risk of cancer. Cancer is a broad term, which describes the disease that results, when
cellular changes cause the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Cancerous tumours can be eradicated
by not only targeting a site but also simultaneously using a multiple target approach. One of the Novel
preparations which come in existence was nanoparticles over the years it was in progress and showed an
advancement for overcoming the complexities in the clinical treatment of cancerous tissues. Nanoparticles
are the ones which offer the opportunity to reformulate drug that have been discontinued due to poor
bioavailability, lack of selectivity to desired target or extreme toxicity. Drug loaded nanoparticles maintain
high concentration within tumour cells, it avoids the development of resistance.Nanoparticles are currently
in an early stage of development. They have potential and ability to selectively target cancer cells without
damaging healthy tissues. Effectively designed nanoparticle has the ability to accumulate in tumour either
active or passive targeting and enhances the cytotoxic effects of the anti-tumour agents. Several
Nanodevices for drug delivery are liposomes, micelles, nanorobots, nanotubes,cantilevers,These
preparation are most effective against cancer treatment. All the details regarding this topic have been
presented and list in my oral presentation. This not only gave the detail knowledge regarding the
advancement in the field of nanotechnology, but it also gives an approach how it is improving the cancer
treatment. Several studies are underway on ligand – Modified AuNPs the AuNP – targeting approach can
also be used in the future for cancer drug delivery.

Bioactive phytochemical substances are proving to be essential therapeutic agents in the face of the
development of antimicrobial resistance. The phytochemical compounds are typically safe for human
consumption and have been approved for use as food additives by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). Food-borne infections are a persistent public health problem that poses significant challenges to
global health and the economy as a result of globalization and active food commerce between
countries.Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli are two enteric bacterial pathogens on the list of 'priority'
food borne pathogens. Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) serovars and diarrhoeagenic E. coli (DEC)
pathotypes are the most common causes of gastrointestinal infections across the world. Moreover, DEC
pathotypes, particularly enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), have long been linked to food borne outbreaks
across the world, posing a threat to global food safety and public health. The prevalence of NTS and EAEC
has been frequently recorded from both industrialized and developing nations. Antimicrobials have lately
been used on a bigger scale as both prophylactic and therapeutic treatments to battle infections. In recent
years, the evolution and natural selection of bacteria, along with the unprecedented usage of antimicrobials,
have contributed to an alarming surge in antimicrobial resistance. Phytochemicals have emerged as one of
the most promising holistic alternative methods with very little adverse effects. Bioactive phytochemicals
and essential oils were discovered to have significant antibacterial action against Salmonella spp. and E.
coli. The Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) might reduce research costs by saving time and money on
molecule manufacturing. In this regard, we have utilized molecular docking, a computational approach to
determine the binding affinity of known phytochemicals to the targeted bacteria, which will further validate
the resistance to bacterial growth.

Even after a great advancement and development in the field of medical science it is a big task to achieve
victory over Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Characterized by a high glucose level in the bloodstream,
T2DM can be a reason for fatal events like stroke, cardiac failure, nephropathy and retinopathy. Out of the
numerous new avenues that have been explored for the management of T2DM, drug–protein interaction is
one of the most promising candidates which can be taken as highly effective method for the formulation of
new antidiabetic drugs. With the discovery of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) protein as a target
for antidiabetic drugs, many advanced antidiabetic drugs have introduced in market from past two decades;
which has led researchers to hunt for new target proteins along with their potential modulators that can help
in the development of newer antidiabetic drugs. This review article comprises a broad literature of the latest

Polycystic ovary Disease (PCOD) is a common endocrine disorder that affects reproductive-aged women. It
is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology. The
exact cause of PCOD is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and
environmental factors. The management and treatment of PCOD vary depending on the individual's
symptoms and goals. Lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, exercise, and a healthy diet can be
effective in managing symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles and insulin resistance. Medical
management of PCOD typically involves hormonal therapies such as oral contraceptives, antiandrogens,
and insulin-sensitizing agents. Fertility treatments such as ovulation induction and in vitro fertilization can
also be used for women who wish to conceive. In conclusion, PCOD is a common condition that can
significantly impact a woman's health and quality of life. Appropriate management and treatment can help
to alleviate symptoms and improve overall health outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach that includes
lifestyle modifications, medical management, and fertility treatments, when necessary, can provide optimal
care for women with PCOD.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent form of cancer in women, and escalating resistance to
chemotherapy poses a significant challenge to the discovery of novel chemotherapeutic agent. The most
lethal form of cancer in women’s is breast cancer, although an extremely dangerous type of breast
carcinoma is triple negative breast carcinoma (TNBC) because of its high rates of proliferation and
metastasis with poor prognosis. It has been reported that derivatives of nitro benzimidazole with
different types of functional groups have remarkable anticancer efficacy. In accordance with earlier
research, certain synthetic 2-chloro/nitrophenylbenzimidazole analogs exhibited remarkably specific
inhibition against MCF-, MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The therapeutic target is a cell cycle-regulating kinase
recognized as Maternal Embryonic Leucine Zipper Kinase (MELK), which is excessively expressed in
TNBC and associated with the growth of cancer. The objective of this research is to design, synthesize and
biological evaluation of 2-chloro/nitrophenylbenzimidazole analogs. The molecular docking studies of
these designed and synthesized derivatives were performed against MELK (PDB ID: 5IH9) and compound

himanshigpt11@gmail.com

Numerous substances produced from plants have been claimed to have potent anticancer activities, although their
exact mechanisms of action are still unknown. The Schrodinger suit was used to conduct docking investigations on
specific plant-derived chemicals with anticancer potential. We employed a molecular docking method to find natural
product compounds that have anticancer activity in conjunction with a particular receptor protein and a selective
inhibitory mechanism from chemicals originating from specific plants. Finding promising anticancer chemicals is our
aim. Selected compounds were assessed as cytotoxic agents against MCF7 and HCT 116 cell lines using virtual
screening on the protein Vascular Endothelium Growth Factor Receptor VEGFR-2 as a model. Thisstudy's goal
is to compile data on the anticancer effects of various plant-derived chemicals on the MCF7 and HCT 116 cell lines
utilising PDB ID. (4ASD). According to the docking data, alkaloids, steroidal glycosides, triterpenoid glycosides, and
flavonoid glycosides (polyphenol) had better dock scores than other substances. The 4ASD protein was docked with
the chemicals to find appropriate inhibitors of the protein function.

Terminalia chebula, is employed as major ingredient in Ayurvedic formulations. Chemical analysis of these
formulations have revealed a number of pharmacologically interesting components including chebulinic
acid. Chebulinic acid has shown to exhibit antiulcer activity since it possesses antisecretory, antioxidative
and anti-inflammatory action. In spite of huge potential of chebulinic acid in gastrointestinal problems, its
use in pharmaceutical field is limited because of its high hydrophobicity and poor aqueous solubility.The
present research work aimed to formulate chebulinic acid loaded alginate microspheres for local treatment
of ulcerative colitis. The best-optimized microsphere was compressed in the form of matrix-forming tablet
for the colon targeting. Chebulinic acid loaded microspheres was prepared employing emulsion cross
linking method and were evaluated for particle size and PDI by master sizer and Entrapmentefficiency by
ultra centrifugation, on the basis of them microsphere was selected. The entrapment of chebulinic acid

Progeria is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder which is manifested by very early aging. Individuals
with progeria typically live to their mid-teens to early twenties and the trait is rarely inherited, as carriers
usually do not live to reproduce their offspring. The ailment develops during cell division in a newly
conceived zygote/gametes of one of the parents. Technically, the specific genes responsible for the cause
are the mutations in the LMNA, FBN1 and AKT1, the mutated forms are called progerins sharing identical
systemic involvements, hence closely correlated. The cysteine present at the C-terminus, farnesylates via
zinc metallopeptidase and allows cleavage of prelamin A to Lamin A, which inhibits the formation of
Lamin A, creates the prelamin A abundancy, this further inhibits DNA repair, causing nuclear blebbing,
which tends the nucleus to lose its shape and integrity. In the present study, we used the progeria mouse
model, and mutated the FBN 1 gene, as it possesses 8 distinct cysteine modules of which one is mutually
shared by the LMNA gene at the C-terminus, and thus altered the cysteine with serine, further we have
incorporated protease inhibitors as well, to inhibit ZMPSTE 24. The results evidently exhibit loss of

FBN 1 gene, and productive mutation of cysteine with the consecutive analogue, lobulation of nuclear
envelope, thickening of the nuclear lamina, loss of peripheral heterochromatin & clustering of nuclear
pores was prevented. This study has very effectively targeted on the abolishment of Nuclear Blebbing,
which was not focused till date in the present context. Also, the productive mutation distinctively
demonstrated the promotion of natural repair of DNA double strand breaks, by increasing Non-

ajaypant1998@gmail.com

Nanosponges are a new and emerging technology that plays an important role in controlled drug delivery.
Nanosponge is a nano-sized drug carrier with a three-dimensional structure made by cross-linking
polymers. The advantage of nanosponges is that it can accommodate a variety of medications in a variety of
sizes. Nano sponges are small, virus-sized sponges that easily penetrate the skin. They reach a specific
target site, sticking to a surface andreleasing the drug in a controlled manner. They are more effective for
targeted drug deliverysystems because they increase solubility, permeability, bioavailability of drug. Drug
deliveryvia the topical route is generally preferred for topical dermatological action. The local actionof
drugs has certain limitations in terms of drug residence time, lipophilicity, solubility andpermeability, skin
irritation, and allergic reactions. Existing formulations such as creams andointments have disadvantages
such as stability problems, stickiness, and poor absorption andpenetration. Drug having large molecular
weight have permeability issue through topicalroute. The invention of nanosponges is an important step
towards overcoming the challengesassociated with traditional drug delivery. In the present review the
topical effects ofnanosponges via various topical dosage form like cream, ointment etc is studied to
overcomechallenges faced by conventional dosage forms.

complex formation by calculating binding energy and confirming complexation. Docking studies at
molecular level are advantageous as it contributes to optimization of drug design, screening large number of
libraries and increasing accuracy. Software programs such as AutoDock Tools (ADT) version 1.5.6,
AutoDock Vina 1.1.2, AutoDock 4.2, PyRx etc. are frequently used to conduct molecular docking studies.
To visualize the docked moieties, researchers often use PyMol and Discovery Studio Visualizer version 4.0.
This literature survey was carried out on PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus to find attempts on
molecular docking of CD and guest molecules for the application of taste masking. Docking studies of
cyclodextrin (CD) and ligands involve preparing a structure, generating grid points, calculating binding
energy, and analysing the best docked conformation. This technique has been used to mask the bitter taste
of drugs. Although docking studies of CD for enhancing bioavailability and modifying release are some of
the areas which can still be explored in depth.

Parkinson’s is a disorder in which dopaminergic neurons degenerate. It is also identified by occurrence of


α-synuclein in the substantia nigra. It is suggested that men are 1.5 times at greater risk than females.
Oxidative stress or free radicle stress, protein aggregation, defects in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway,
and autophagy are some of the cell-autonomous mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of the disease
whereas spreading of α-synuclein, a continuous degeneration of dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic
neurons and inflammatory processes are the non-cell-autonomous mechanisms. Estrogen shows
neuroprotective activity via rapid signaling pathways utilizing both genomic and non-genomic
mechanisms. Other mechanisms include ligand-independent and estrogen response element (ERE) -
independent mechanism. Ligand-independent mechanism makes it possible for estrogen receptor to be
activated in the presence of low levels of estrogen. They also slow down the onset of age-related neuro-
disorder via targeting mitochondria.

Aim of the proposed research was the formulation and evaluation of a compressed coated colon targeted
tablet using Budesonide to be used for Crohn’s disease. For this purpose, different polymers like Eudragit L
100, Eudragit S 100, and Ethyl cellulose were used to prevent the contact of core tablet containing
Budesonide with 0.1N HCl for 2 hours and in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 for 1 hour. Compression coating of
core tablet was done by the powder mixture of polymers with different ratios and different amounts of
coating mass, and it was concluded that the outer coating for each batch was not stable for 2 hours in 0.1N
HCl. Hence, it was decided to prepare the granules of the coating polymer mixture. Different batches were
prepared by taking three variables and varying their ratios at three levels (low, medium, high) by using Box
Behnken Design. Two batches F10 and F14 were selected as optimized batches as they showed evaluation
parameters like hardness, friability, weight variation, disintegration test in 0.1N HCl and in phosphate
buffer of pH 6.8 within the standard limits in comparison to other batches. These batches also represented
acceptable results for all evaluation tests of tablets and their individual dissolution profiles indicated their
suitability to be used as colon targeted drug delivery systems.

to the use of automated algorithms to perform tasks which traditionally rely on human intelligence. Over
the last five years, the use of artificial intelligence in the pharma and biotech industry has redefined how
scientists develop new drugs, tackle disease, and more Pharmacy automation involves the automation of
common tasks and processes performed in a pharmacy or other healthcare settings.For example, the
dispensing of medications has traditionally been a time consuming and tedious task performed by
pharmacists for several decades. Artificial intelligence helps pharma companies find patients for clinical
trials. While AI can be used to make sense of clinical trials data, another use of Artificial
Intelligence in the pharmaceutical industry is to find the patients to take them. The Massachusetts (MIT)

Neurons in neurodegenerative illnesses gradually become dysfunctional and die. Cognitive impairment,
speech impediments, and motor dysfunction are a few symptoms that represent neurodegeneration of
neurons. The common pathophysiological hallmark of neurodegenerative illnesses are loss of neuronal
populations in the brain and/or spinal cord. The two most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases,
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are diagnosed in over 36 million people
globally.AD is characterized by neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles as a result of amyloid-beta
peptide (Aβ) buildup in the brain's most severely afflicted region, the medial temporal lobe and neocortical
regions. A synucleinopathy, Parkinson's disease is a common neurological condition. Lewy bodies and cell
loss in the substantia nigra, especially in the ventral component of the pars compacta, are the pathological
hallmarks of Parkinson's disease. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has originally been defined as a pure
motor neuron disease, but is now recognized as a multisystem neurodegenerative disorder, with disease
heterogeneity at the clinical, genetic and neuropathological level. A dominantly inherited CAG
trinucleotide repeatedthe increase in the huntingtin gene on chromosome 4 results in Huntington disease
(HD). ASICs are ligand-gated cation channels activated by extracellular H+ and are widely distributed in
mammalian central and peripheral nervous systems as members of the degenerin and epithelial Na+ channel
(DEG/ENaC). There are four different genes (ACCN1 to 4) encode at least six different subunits (ASIC1a,
ASIC1b, ASIC2a, ASIC2b, ASIC3, and ASIC4). ASICs have a crucial role in prevention of
neurodegenerative diseases.

Mostly, animal models are used for toxicological assessment of novel medications. Although this
traditional method is effective in learning information from an in vivo model, there are a number
ofproblems with these studies, including uncertain outcomes, substantial financial investment, and ethical
dilemmas. Organoids, which are biological replicas of particular organs or tissues made of living
cells/biomaterials, are good substitutes for animal experimentation. Human organoids, by imitating
complex microenvironments and many of the in vivo physiological activities of critical tissues, are
expected to overcome the translational gap between humans and animals and increase our understanding of
the mechanisms behind illness and developmental processes. Human organoids are intended to be used in a
variety of research applications, including basic research areas in embryology, physiology, and evolution as
well as studies of disease conditions and therapeutic efficacy and toxicity. In this article, we collated the
most recent toxicological information on human organoids and reviewed their value, limits, and
possibilities, with an emphasis on prospective in vitro predictive tests for organ toxicities (gut, liver,
kidney, heart, and brain) caused by available commercial medications. The number of studies presenting
toxicity investigations utilizing human organoids is still relatively small, and there is currently no accepted
strategy for predicting organ toxicities induced by drug using human organoids. However, given the
impressive advancements in organoid research over the last ten years and the rise in human organoid
studies, additional research on the potential utility of organoids for toxicity assessments is anticipated in the
coming years.

Gene editing technology, such as CRISPR-Cas9, has revolutionized the field of medicine and opened new
possibilities for treating a wide range of diseases. The ability to edit the genetic code of living organisms
with precision and accuracy has the potential to cure genetic disorders, eradicate infectious diseases, and
even enhance human traits. Gene editing is a technology that allows scientists to modify the DNA sequence
of living organisms, including humans. The most widely used gene editing tool is CRISPR-Cas9, which
uses a protein called Cas9 and a guide RNA to cut the DNA at a specific location and replace it with a new
sequence. This technology has been compared to a “genetic scissors” that can cut and paste DNA with
precision and accuracy. Gene editing technology has already been used to treat genetic disorders such as
sickle cell anaemia and beta-thalassemia by correcting the defective gene responsible for these diseases. In
these cases, the gene editing tool is delivered into the patient’s cells using a virus, which then cuts and
replaces the defective gene with a healthy one. Gene editing technology has the potential to revolutionize
the field of medicine and create a world without genetic diseases and infectious diseases. However, it is

medicine, such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Unani Medicine, rely heavily on the use of
plant-based remedies. Plants are a rich source of bioactive compounds that possess therapeutic potential and
are used in the development of modern drugs and therapies. The role of plants in different systems of
medicine offers a valuable platform for the exploration and utilization of natural products for the benefit of
human health. According to estimates, there are around 300,000 species of plants on earth, of which only a
small percentage have been studied for their medicinal properties. However, the potential of medicinal
plants as a source of new drugs and therapies is enormous. Herbal-based products have gained increasing
popularity in recent years as a natural alternative to synthetic drugs. These products are derived from
medicinal plants and their extracts and have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The use of
herbal-based products is not only driven by their perceived efficacy and safety but also by the growing
demand for natural and sustainable products. The global market for herbal-based products is estimated to be
around US$ 120 billion, and this figure is expected to grow in the coming years. The development and use
of herbal-based products offer great potential for the discovery of new drugs and therapies.

Liver is exposed to high concentrations of toxicants and toxic metabolites in the process of metabolic
detoxification, making it susceptible to injury. Liver damage is associated with cellular necrosis, increase in
tissue lipid peroxidation, and depletion in tissue GSH level, etc. In present study soxhlet and cloud point
extraction of Desmostachyabipinnata aerial parts was performed. Preliminary phytochemical identfication
was performed by chemical tests and TLC. After that validated the traditional claim i.e.; antioxidant and
hepatoprotective potential using CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity model. In soxhlation, maximum extractive
yield was found in alcoholic extract (20.00 ± 0.68 % w/w), phenols and flavonoids present in alcoholic
extract were found to be 10.92% w/w and 20.81 %w/w respectively. In cloud point extraction, CPE 8 was
found best among all eight extracts of cloud point extraction (Temperature 60oC, time 2 hours and triton x-
100 concentration 5%) having maximum extraction yield 11.2 ± 01.26 % w/w, flavonoids (13.44% w/w)
and phenols (43.63% w/w). In phytochemical screening of extracts phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids and
steroids were present in different extracts of Desmostachyabipinnata. In CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity,
because of the tissue & serum analysis the order of hepatoprotective effect was found as alcohol extract <
chloroform extract < C.P.E < standard marketed formulation. The difference in activity of these extracts in
reducing hepatotoxicity may be due to the nature and quantity of phyto-constituents present in these
extracts. However, further studies are going on for isolation and characterization of the active constituent
responsible for this activity.

Molecular docking plays a very important tool for drug discovery, provide lots of molecular docking
method and their development and in drug discovery. In molecular docking, several methods are available
for protein structure determination like high throughput protein purification, Crystallography and Nuclear
magnetic resonance. These methods also help to study the protein ligand complexes. Molecular docking
provides a computational design for drug discovery. Drug discovery mainly classified into 2 parts. (A)
Ligand based drug design (B) Structural based drug design. For ligand- based drug design, Pharmacophore
modelling and Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) methods are used. In second hand, for
the structure-based drug design, Molecular docking is the most common method which was discovered in
1980’s. The Molecular docking can be used for the interaction between molecule and protein, Behaviour of
molecule at the binding site of protein. The molecular docking has involved in two steps – (1). Prediction of
ligand confirmation. (2.) Assessment of binding affinity. There are two types of molecular docking – Rigid
molecular docking which is also known as “Lock and key” method and other type is Flexible docking
which is also known as “Induced fit”. In Rigid docking both receptor and ligand are treated as rigid. In
flexible docking, molecule which is smaller than other rotates. The main advantage of molecular docking is
to analyse the conformation and provide a pose of molecule into binding site of macromolecular target.

Curcuma caesia Roxb. is a relatively little known and practically unexplored medication, even though
traditional healers employ the genus Curcuma to cure a variety of diseases in ethnomedical practices.
Leucoderma, asthma, tumours, piles, bronchitis, and other conditions have reportedly been treated with
Curcuma caesia for a very long period in traditional medical systems. Bruises, contusions, and rheumatic
discomfort are treated with the paste. The rhizomes of the plants are frequently used in the treatment of
pneumonia, cough, and cold in children & for fever and asthma in adults. The current review aims to
develop the essential ethnomedicinal utilities. The zingiberaceae family includes Curcuma caesia, also
referred to as “kali haldi”. This plant can be found in the northeast, central India, the Papi Hills of the East
and West Godavari, and Andhra Pradesh. A perennial herb with tall, erect rhizomatous herb with large
leaves is called Curcuma caesia Roxb. Fresh rhizomes have a potent camphoraceous odour and are grown
for their rhizomes, which are utilised in traditional medicine. Camphor, ar-turmerone, (Z)- ocimene,
curcumin, 1, 8-cineole, elemene, borneol, bornyl acetate, and curcumene are said to be the main
components of the plant. According to reports, the plant has antifungal, anti-asthmatic, antibacterial,
smooth muscle relaxant, antioxidant, analgesic, locomotor depressant, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant
actions as well as anti-inflammatory qualities. This review focuses on the medicinal applications,
phytochemistry, and pharmacological effects of the plant and shows how herbal products can be as safe as

of symbolic programming .it has greatly evolved into a science of problem- solving with huge application
in business, health care, engineering. The main objective of this artificial intelligence to identify useful
information processing problems and give an abstract account of how to solve them.AI pharmacy solutions
include an automated dispensing technology that uses automation features to understand prescriptions and
dispense medications, with minimal involvement from a pharmacist. This allows pharmacists to serve a
higher number of patients and enhance satisfaction levels. The pharmacists can, furthermore, offer patients
more time and address the wrongly perceived notion that pharmacy is a purely transaction-based business.
Artificial intelligence in Pharma refers to the use of automated algorithms to perform tasks which
traditionally rely on human intelligence. Over the last five years, the use of artificial intelligence in the
pharma and biotech industry has redefined how scientists develop new drugs, tackle disease, and more
Pharmacy automation involves the automation of common tasks and processes performed in a pharmacy or
other healthcare settings.For example, the dispensing of medications has traditionally been a time
consuming and tedious task performed by pharmacists for several decades. Artificial intelligence helps
pharma companies find patients for clinical trials.

Chitosan has received much more attention as a functional biopolymer with applications in
pharmaceuticals, drug delivery systems and cosmetics. Nevertheless, chitosan application is limited by its
solubility in aqueous solution and this limitation is overcome by modification of its physicochemical
properties to become soluble in aqueous media. The main objective of present investigation was to modify
physicochemical properties of Chitosan to improve its aqueous solubility and it will be useful to improve
performance of active pharmaceutical ingredients and its pharmaceutical applications. The following were
supplied by Loba Chemicals, Mumbai: Chitosan, ascorbic acid, citric acid, glutaric acid, succinic acid,
oxalic acid, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and Itraconazole supplied by
Glenmark, Mumbai. Here modified derivatives of chitosan increase degree of deacetylation with decrease
in viscosity and molecular weight. FTIR and XRD studies showed the interaction between chitosan and
coformers. Solubility study indicates improved water solubility of chitosan derivatives using coformersupto
75% at neutral pH. Itraconazole complex with these derivatives proved increased drug release as compared
to plain chitosan.Chitosan and its derivatives as a conformer in complexation with Itraconzole have shown
there are increasing 6 times more solubility and dissolution of Itraconazole. Hence, it is possible to obtain
water soluble chitosan with specified properties from oxalic acid, citric acid, glutaric acid, ascorbic acid,
succinic acid, and chitosan of varying degree of deacetylation, viscosity and average molecular weight.

Pharmaceutical formulations in liquid form for oral administration are commonly utilized for geriatric and
pediatric patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms. Consistency and stability of the
liquid vehicle are critical for ensuring consistent drug delivery. Rheology, texture, and stability are among
the Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) that must be addressed in the development of oral liquid and semi-
solid dosage forms. The distribution of pharmaceutical components relies on the manipulation of
rheological properties, texture, and stabilization within these forms. The utilization of thickening agents to
increase the viscosity of the liquid vehicle serves to reduce particle settling. Historically, sugars such as
sucrose were utilized for this purpose, as well as for masking the taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients
(API). However, alternative thickening agents such as Xanthan gum, Tragacanth, Carrageenan, and

cellulose derivatives (such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl


methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose etc.) are increasingly employed as
they do not possess the same risks of glycogenic and carcinogenicity as sugars. Cellulose derivatives, due to
their water binding and viscosity modifying properties, can be effectively utilized to enhance the

The word Phytosome is derived from the term “Phyto” which means to the plant, and “some” means to cell-
like. Phytosomes also known as Phyto-phospholipid complexes, are the vesicular drug delivery systems that
are generally formed either by the interaction between the hydrophilic portion of the phospholipids.
Phytosomes are structurally quite like liposomes, but the difference is that the active ingredient in
liposomes is present inside the hydrophilic cavity or within the layers of the membrane while in
Phytosomes the drug/plant constituents are part of the membrane itself. Various methods have been
proposed for formulating Phytosomes such as freeze-drying co-solvency technique, rotary evaporator
method, anti-solvent precipitation method, and salting out method. Phytosomes have received tremendous
attention for phytochemical delivery as a fast-growing class of nanovesicles. The main characteristics of
Phytosomes are size and shape, surface charge, chemical composition, lamellarity and stability,
encapsulation efficiency, and release behavior. Recently various researchers worked on Phytosomes based
drug delivery systems such as the effect of Phytosomes on Nervous systems, Phytosome effect in the
Genitourinary system, Phytosomes as Modulators of the Immune System, Phytosomes’ Role in the
Respiratory System Diseases, Phytosomes Efficacy in Metabolic Syndrome, Phytosomes in the
Gastrointestinal system, etc. various drugs incorporated with Phytosomes to produce targeted drug delivery
as well as enhance the activity of the drugs such as doxorubicin Phytosomes effectively inhibit the growth
of breast cancer cell, silibinin-loaded Phytosomes for the treatment of prostate cancer, curcumin
Phytosomes as anti-inflammatory activity, etc. According to the facts provided above, it can be concluded
that the potential of Phytosomes with the effort of researchers and clinicians has a bright future for
applications in the pharmaceutical field.

Pragati Bailwal, Ashutosh Badola
Department of Pharmaceutical sciences, SGRR University, Dehradun Uttarakhand, India
pragatibailwal90@gmail.com

Cubosomes are nanostructured liquid crystalline particles with specific amphiphilic lipid compositions that
are used as biocompatible drug delivery vehicles. Curved bicontinuous lipid bilayers are arranged in three
dimensions as a honeycomb structure with two internal aqueous channels that can accommodate drugs of
different polar characteristics. Because of their unique characteristics, such as thermodynamic stability,
bioadhesion, the ability to encapsulate hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and amphiphilic substances, and the
potential for controlled release through functionalization, cubosomes are seen as promising vehicles for a
various routes of administration The cubic shape offers a enormous membrane surface area for loading
membrane proteins and medicinal compounds when compared to liposomes. The self-assembling
properties of cubosomes make their production simple and uncomplicated. By using intense shearing
action, such as that produced by sonication and homogenization, amphiphilic lipids such monoolein,
monolinolein, phytantriol, etc. self-assemble into non-lamellar bicontinuous cubic phases. Using stabilising
agents is an important step in the preparation of cubosomes to prevent re-coalescence of the dispersed
particles into the parent bulk cubic structure when dispersed in water. Commonly used stabilizing agents
are Pluronics, especially F127 (Poloxamer 407) are used as stabilizing agent. The drug release from
cubosomal dispersions has demonstrated improvement in bioavailability by solubilizing drugs that are
poorly water soluble, decrease in adverse effects, enhancement of intracellular penetration, protection
against degradation, possibility of sustained drug release, and the biodegradable nature of lipids is an
additional advantage, making cubosomes a suitable carrier for oral, parenteral, topical, transdermal, and
pulmonary drug delivery.

Nanotechnology offers promising applications in medicine, especially pharmaceuticals to deliver drugs


safely and specifically. In comparison to current technologies, nanosized carrier systems pose the least
damage to the skin's natural barrier function. Transdermal delivery of drugs using nanocarriers has emerged
as a valuable alternative to increasing the range of available drugs. The delivery of lipophilic and
hydrophilic drugs through the stratum corneum is possible via an array of nanocarriers, and treatment is
possible on a local or systemic level. In addition to their biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, these
carriers enhance a drug's stability and have many applications (oral, intravenous, pulmonary, ocular and
dermal). Although various methods have been developed to improve skin penetration and permeation of

therapeutics, they are usually aggressive and could lead to irreversible damage to the stratum corneum.
Nanocarriers are made up of a mixture of solid and liquid lipids (oils) diffused in an aqueous solution
containing a surfactant. The use of nanocarriers for delivery of targeted drugs to the skin, in order to ensure
sustained release and localized effects, has enabled the penetration of therapeutics across the skin, a highly
complex biological barrier, leading to a successful treatment of various life-threatening dermatological
conditions.

The two most common and severe psychiatric disorders are anxiety and depression. These disorders are
treated with a variety of drugs, but many of them have harmful side effects. Alternative treatments,
including herbal medicines, have been proven to be effective in reducing depression. The objective of the
current research was to assess the antidepressant efficacy of pongamia pinnata bark ethanolic extract
(PPBE) in albino wistar rats. There were six different animal groups, and each consisted of six animals per
group. Animals were subjected to different stress paradigms daily for a period of 21 days to induce
depressive like behavior. As a standard drug (fluxoteine (10mg/kg i.p.) was used. An ethanolic extract of
pongamia pinnata bark at a dose of (100, 200, 400 mg/kg) was used for 28 days, after that behavioral
parameters were performed (forced swim test, tail suspension test, locomotor activity test). An ethanolic
extract of Pongamia pinnata bark possesses an antidepressant effect when compared with the standard drug
fluoxetine. Chronic treatment with PPBE significantly reversed the unpredictable chronic stress-induced
behavioral (increased immobility period, ambulatory movement and biochemical (increased catalase
activity and decreased lipid peroxidation) in stressed rats. All the three doses (100, 200, 400 mg/kg) showed
significant results. Among all the three doses, the highest dose (PPBE 400 mg/kg p.o.) showed the most
significant results comparatively. Thus, it can be concluded that PPBE could be an attractive neuro-
pharmacological agent for the treatment of depression.

nanotechnology as a solitary approach that only affects certain fields. It serves more as a generalised term
for science that has positive effects on a variety of fields, including healthcare, the environment, and
hundreds of commercial products. The nanoparticles with porous structures are known as nanosponges.
Initially, nanosponges were created to administer medications topically. They can also be utilized in
environmental applications to purify water or remove metal stains, which help to clean up ecosystems.
They have dimensions of 1µ m or less and cavities with tuneable polarity. By altering the crosslinker to
polymer ratio, nanosponges of various specific sizes can be created. High cross-linking typically results in
low-swelling polymers that are better suitable for the treatment of water because water won't occupy the
area designated for metal trash and can be more easily filtered from the water after cleaning. The
elimination of toxins from the contaminated water is emphasised in this study. Moreover, a comprehensive
review of the nanotoxicity and biosafety of these nanosponge-based water treatment technologies is
necessary. The design and implementation of nanosponge-based systems for removing toxins from water
are discussed with a focus on constraints and future trends.

The main purpose of this study is to formulate linezolid-loaded microcapsule linezolid is an oxazolidinone
antibacterial agent effective against most strains of aerobic grampositive bacteria and mycobacteria.
Microencapsulation is an advanced technology, using which a compound can be encapsulated inside a
particular material, making a tiny sphere of diameter ranging from 1 μm to several 100 μm.
Microencapsulation is done for protecting the sensitive compounds and to ensure their safe delivery. The
compound or active material which is encapsulated is called the core and the material which is used for
encapsulating is called the encapsulant. Encapsulants can be either polymeric or nonpolymeric materials
like cellulose, ethylene glycol, and gelatin. There are several techniques used for microencapsulation. The
characterization and optimization of efficient and successful encapsulation can be done by studying the
encapsulation efficiency and various properties of the capsules like morphology, size, hydrophobicity,
hygroscopicity, solubility, surface tension, thermal behavior, and mechanical properties.

Assessment of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) among patients of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with
hypertension (HTN) is an essential parameter. The liver plays an important role in keeping glycemic control
in check. Increased ALP levels are associated with poor glycemic control, increased insulin resistance, and
a higher risk of type II diabetes. Several processes including insulin resistance and elevated oxidative stress
can affect serum ALP activity and diabetes. This cross-sectional study includes a total of 60 participants
(30-60 years). The study was conducted for a period of 3 months. The Serum ALP concentrations of the
participants were analysed. Patients suffering from already known hepatic disease and other comorbid
conditions like kidney diseases, pregnant or lactating women were excluded from the study. Among a total
of 60 patients (30 male, 30 females) with T2DM and HTN. Males had a mean age of 50.6 years, while
females had a mean age of 48.28 years. Males and females have mean serum ALP concentrations of 200
U/L and 223.47 U/L respectively. Elevated serum ALP was shown to be more prevalent in males as
compared to females. It has been found that elevated serum ALP is more common in males with T2DM
with HTN than in females. This finding may help in early detecting hepatic disturbance in diabetic with
hypertensive individuals.

Due to their advantages and the fact that this subject is still in its infancy, researchers from all over the
world are now looking into using microsponges as drug carriers. Microsponges are porous microsphere-
based polymeric drug delivery systems. These tiny, spherical particles have a broad porous surface and
resemble microscopic sponges. The distribution of oral and biopharmaceutical drugs also uses this
innovative technology for topical controlled release agents. To increase their effectiveness, microsponges
are dependable delivery systems that incorporate both water-insoluble and water-sparing agents. Many
kinds of medications can be captured by microsponges, which are used in formulations like cream, gel,
lotion, and powder. Cerac, Ultra guard, and retinol cream are just a few examples of commercially
accessible formulations. One of the best aspects of this technology is that it is self-sterilizing. It also offers
improved formulation flexibility and increases the effectiveness of topically active medicines. Many studies
have shown that microsponges are non-mutagenic, non-irritant, and non-allergic in nature. The current
review describes in detail the release mechanism, preparation techniques, characterization, assessment
criteria, and uses of the microsponges technology.

Imidazole is a five-membered heterocyclic moiety that possesses three carbon, two nitrogen, four hydrogen
atoms, and two double bonds. It is also known as 1, 3-diazole. It contains two nitrogen atoms, in which one
nitrogen bear a hydrogen atom, and the other is called pyrrole type nitrogen. It is a white or colorless solid
that is highly soluble in water and other polar solvents. Due to the presence of a positive charge on either of
two nitrogen atoms, it shows two equivalent tautomeric forms. It is the basic core of some natural products
such as histidine, purine, histamine and DNA based structures, etc. Imidazole has become an important
synthon in the development of new drugs. The derivatives of 1, 3-diazole show different biological
activities such as antibacterial, antimycobacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antidiabetic, anti-allergic,
antipyretic, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-amoebic, anthelmintic, antifungal and ulcerogenic activities, etc. as
reported in the literature. In present study we tried an enhancement procedure to the process for producing
imidazole by dehydrogenating imidazolines olivine, which involves reacting the imidazoline with the
olivine catalyst in combination with 30% by weight of a copper, chromium, or a combination of both

The absorption of drugs through the oro trans soft palatal delivery improves bioavailability of drugs Drug
absorption is mainly via passive diffusion through the lipoidal membrane. Thus, oro trans soft palatal drug
delivery has attracted the attention worldwide for optimizing the drug delivery. Oro trans soft palatal
delivery possibly bypass first-pass metabolism of drugs, avoidance of pre-systemic elimination within the
GI tract This route is easily accessible by patients, the mucosa is relatively permeable with a rich blood
supply, it is robust and shows short recovery times after stress or damage, and the virtual lack of
Langerhans cells makes the oral mucosa tolerant to potential. Buccal and sublingual dosage forms are
typically short acting because of limited contact time between the dosage form and the oral mucosa. Since
administration of drugs through these routes interferes with eating, drinking and talking therefore, these
routes are generally considered unsuitable for prolonged administration, whereas soft palatal medication
delivers steady infusion of drugs over an extended period of time, because of the function of the soft palate
to cover the glottis while swallowing, it is more fitted for sustained and controlled drug delivery also due to
the presence of immobile mucosa. The site is not affected by salivary secretion and tongue activity and can
be used as an ideal route for drug delivery and the pH is more nearer to blood as compared to buccal and
sublingual route.It can also serve as a smart route for the targeting of drugs to the brain

catalysis, sensors, drug delivery, magnetic materials, and optical devices, have received tremendous
interest. The most commonly used techniques for the synthesis of MOFs are non-solvothermal,
solvothermal, microwave assisted, and sonochemical. These MOFs can be changed into Nano-MOFs when
the size of MOFs is decreased to the nanoscale. Nano-MOFs, or nanoscale MOFs, can be fabricated as drug
carriers, and their size can be tuned according to intended applications. These nano-MOFs are flexible in
terms of of biocompatibility, biodegradability and can be easily functionalized to satisfy the necessary
degree of host-guest interaction while retaining a larger and completely changeable pore window. They
have been utilised to deliver a range of drug, including hormones, metabolic labelling molecules, anticancer
drugs, and antibacterial agents. Recentstudies highlighted these MOFs can also be used for improved
cellular uptake, controlled drug release, and drug targeted therapy. The loading of drugs into the MOFs can
be done by in situ encapsulation and post-synthetic modification. These diverse advantages may open up
new possibilities for multifunctional drug delivery and for the targeted therapy to overcome the problems
associated with traditional drug carriers. The short existence of MOFs in biomedicine poses a significant
long term toxicity concern, which is expected may be leaching of metal ion and its degraded product, must
be addressed before reaching to clinics. In conclusion, fabrication of biocompatible, adaptable, and
effective drug delivery systems based on MOFs is a potential research topic that has yet to be explored and
investigated.

Ageing is a process of phenotypic changes in cutaneous cells as well as anatomical and functional alterations in
extracellular matrix components such as collagens and elastin. There are two major processes that govern skin ageing:
intrinsic and extrinsic. Extrinsic ageing is caused by environmental factors like air pollution, smoking, alcohol abuse,
poor nutrition and sun exposure. Intrinsic ageing is dependent on time and genetic background. Fairness creams are
popularly used to reduce skin problems such as hyperpigmentation, sun spots and assures to slow down the signs of
skin ageing. However, these claims are based on the presence of synthetic agents like bleaching agent and other
chemicals which are not good for skin. Chemicals like mercury, nickel, chromium, hydroquinone and steroids present
in the fairness creams can cause a lot of skin problems like thinning of skin, discoloration of face, capillaries become
prominently visible, severe acne, hypersensitivity to sun, rebound paradoxical pigmentation, facial hair growth, skin
allergy and sometimes skin cancer. Thus, to fight premature ageing, it is beneficial to use herbs and plant extracts. For
the prevention of skin ageing, phytoconstituents such as resveratrol, epicatechin, epigenin, retinol, quercetin, lutin,
ferulic acid, gallic acid, ellagic acid, punicallagin, etc can be utilised in herbal cosmetic formulations. These
phytoconstituents are present in various plants such as ginseng, oregano, rosemary, horsetail, sage, ashwagandha,
guduchi, cinnamon and calendula. Thus, by using herbs various cosmeceuticals can be prepared to reduce the signs of
premature ageing effectively.

Skin aging is an inevitable progression, and several factors are behind this process, and the chief conducive
factor is UV radiation including further factors being dry skin, absence of nutrition, hormonal imbalance,
smoking, etc. Skin aging is classified into two types: Intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging which is also a
synonym of photoaging. Crow eyes, wrinkles, spots, elasticity loss, sagging, and unstrengthens of the skin
are commonly found in aged skin. Various tactics are existing to prevent skin aging. As per the literature,
several antioxidants are preferred in cosmetics for skin aging. Natural polyphenols are significant
phytoconstituents that carry scavenging phenomena and prepare complexes with proteins. This
phenomenon of polyphenols gives it an exciting perception in the handling of skin aging. Polyphenols
absent longer duration stability, have less bioavailability rate, are too delicate to light and temperature, have
less solubility, and have an acrimonious and caustic taste. This phenomenon bounds its custom in edible
items. To exclude these limitations, we focus on new delivery tactics and nano-formulations, which are,
nanocarriers measured as a promising technique. With plant-obtained polyphenols and their bioavailability,
several forms of nano-formulations can be used for therapeutic and cosmetics purposes, and nano-
formulations can be a promising technology for skin aging treatment. Ultimately, in the long
run, herbal purified polyphenols or polyphenol-wealthy plant extracts (semi-artificial or artificial) would
possibly supplement the pores and skin chemotherapeutics, our solar protection armamentarium, and in
addition enhance the advantage of aesthetic strategies (e.g., microdermabrasion). Thereby, polyphenols are
also gaining recognition as elements in cosmetic formulations (cosmeceuticals).

Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment modality for cancer. It aims to boost the body’s own
immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments, such as chemotherapy
and radiation, which can harm healthy cells, immunotherapy targets cancer cells specifically. This review
discusses the various types of immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, and
cancer vaccines. Cancer vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack
cancer cells. These vaccines can be made from cancer cells or specific proteins expressed by cancer cells.
They can also be combined with other immunotherapy, such as checkpoint inhibitors, to enhance their
efficacy. Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment and has the potential to cure many types of
cancer. However, there are still challenges that need to be addressed, such as resistance and toxicity. We
also highlight the challenges associated with immunotherapy, such as resistance and toxicity, and the
ongoing efforts to overcome these hurdles. Finally, we discuss the potential future directions of
immunotherapy, including combination therapies and personalized medicine. It is made up of white blood
cells and organs and tissues of the lymph system. Immunotherapy is a type of biological therapy.
Immunotherapy, on the other hand, is a novel approach that harnesses the power of the immune System to
fight cancer.

raiaash274@gmail.com

A hydrotrope is a compound that solubilises hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solutions. Hydrotropes


are used industrially and commercially in cleaning and personal care products like laundry detergents,
surface cleaners, dishwashing detergents, liquid soaps, shampoos and conditioners. The choice of
hydrotrope is based on the builder levels and requirements for each specific application.Hydrotropy is an
important tool to other solubilization methods, such as micellar solubilization, salting, and miscibility
because of the independent character of solvent. It does not require any chemical modification of drugs. It
only requires mixing the drug with the hydrotrope in water. The use of a high amount of synthetic
hydrotropes is very dangerous for human administration. However natural hydrotropes can be used in
combination with synthetic hydrotropes. While using in a combination of natural and synthetic hydrotropes,
it has been reported that due to their intermolecular complex formation it helps in enhancing the solubility
of drugs and reduces the concentration of individual hydrotropes using mixed hydrotropy approach. Natural
hydrotropes such as caffeine, tannic acid, epigallate, piperazine, and coconut derivatives have been used in
few studies. The use of natural hydrotropes is beneficial over synthetic hydrotropes as it is safe for human
use. The hydrotropy increases the solubility of solutes by the addition of high concentration of alkali metal
salts of different organic acids. According to Neuberg, there are several concentrated aqueous hydrotropic
agents available synthetically or naturally. Some of the hydrotropic agents are sodium benzoate,
niacinamide, citric acid, tannic acid, piperazine, and caffeine. They have been observed to enhance the
aqueous solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. This article gives insight of the use and differences
between natural and synthetic hydrotropes in various fields

4D printing involves use of 3D printing techniques to fabricate shapes which can reversibly or irreversibly
transform when triggered by any external stimulus like temperature, pH, radiation, hydration, magnetic
force, electricity, heat. This shape transformation ability is conferred with smart materials like shape
memory alloys, shape memory polymers, and hydrogels. 4D printing brings numerous customization
possibilities based on shape and functionality. Since the publication of the first scientific article on 4D
printing in 2013, this technology has rapidly advanced and expanded its applications to various fields like
aerospace, automotive technology, fashion, medical devices, tissue engineering and fabricating drug
delivery systems. In 2016, Li et al developed a fusion of 3D printing and shape-changing hydrogel-based
micro-robots was developed for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs. This development has attracted attention
of various drug delivery scientists to exploit the potential of 4D printing for the development of drug
delivery systems (DDS) or devices. Conventional drug delivery approaches have restricted accessibility for
hard-to-reach body orifices like stomach, urinary bladder, eustachian tube, vagina, and others leading to
reduced bioavailability and limited local action. A thorough literature survey was conducted on databases
such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus to find such research attempts. This oral presentation
illustrates all such customised DDS or devices developed to deliver drugs to eustachian tube, oesophagus,
stomach and urinary bladder. Some orifices like nostrils, rectal, vaginal and meibomian gland orifice are
potential areas where research is to be observed in future. These innovations are evident that 4D printing
has increased the accessibility, improved drug delivery efficiency and increased patient compliance.
Additionally, 4D printed DDS have offered personalized treatments for specific medical conditions like
sudden hearing loss, tissue regeneration, healing wounds and prolonged release of drug into urinary
bladder. This represents a breakthrough in the field of drug delivery, marking a significant advancement.

str.eksha@gmail.com

Teratogenic effects can occur when a developing fetus is exposed to harmful environmental factors during
pregnancy. These effects can occur at different stages of pregnancy, including the pre-implantation stage,
the embryonic period, and the fetal period. During the pre-implantation stage, teratogens can cause
chromosomal abnormalities or death of the embryo. In the embryonic period, exposure to teratogens can
result in major structural abnormalities, such as neural tube defects, cleft palate, and heart defects. In the
fetal period, exposure to teratogens can lead to functional abnormalities, growth restriction, and cognitive
and behavioural deficits. Teratogens can come from various sources, including drugs, alcohol, tobacco,
radiation, and infectious agents. The effects of teratogens on fetal development depend on factors such as
the type and dose of the agent, the duration and timing of exposure, and genetic susceptibility. Preventing
exposure to teratogens is critical in reducing the incidence of congenital malformations. Health care
providers should educate women about the risks of teratogens and provide counselling to minimize
exposure. Pregnant women should avoid known teratogens and follow recommended guidelines for
prenatal care. Early detection and management of congenital malformations can improve outcomes for
affected individuals and their families. Overall, understanding the teratogenic effects on different stages of
pregnancy can help prevent congenital malformations and promote better outcomes for both mother and
child.

Proteomics is the large-scale investigation of proteins, their structure, and function in various biological
samples, such as cells, organs, or organisms. Proteins are important effectors of cell functions and
phenotypes because they can better capture a cell functional state and dynamic features. Proteomics data
processing and analysis is a complex process that might lead to the discovery of new disease biomarkers for
clinical and diagnostic applications. Whole saliva molecular content reflects current physiological or
disease circumstances and can be indicative of systemic disease conditions at distant anatomical sites.
According to the research, entire saliva can be a valuable source of information for detecting pathologies
such as genetic, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and metabolic illnesses, malignancies, and viral/bacterial
infections. As a result, saliva opens new avenues for the discovery of novel clinical biomarkers that are
simple, accurate, inexpensive, and non-invasive to collect. Salivary proteomics is vital for understanding
illness pathophysiology, developing non-invasive diagnostic markers, and offering important insights for

Vanadan Sahani
Shree Dev Bhoomi Institute of Education Science and Technology, Dehradun, Uttarakhand
sahanivandana15@gmail.com

Microneedle patches are an innovative and disruptive technology for transdermal drug delivery. They are
designed to overcome the limitations of traditional drug delivery systems by providing a non-invasive and
painless method for drug delivery through the skin. Microneedle patches consist of arrays of microneedles
that penetrate the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, to deliver drugs to the underlying
layers. Microneedle patches are versatile and can be designed to deliver a wide range of drugs, including
small molecules, peptides, proteins, and vaccines. This technology has several advantages over traditional
drug delivery methods, such as improved patient compliance, reduced side effects, and enhanced efficacy.
Furthermore, microneedle patches can be self-administered, reducing the need for healthcare professionals,
and providing a more convenient and cost-effective alternative. Microneedle patches have shown promising
results in preclinical and clinical trials and have been successfully used in a variety of biomedical
applications, including diabetes management, vaccination, pain management, and cosmetic treatments.
However, there are still several challenges and limitations to be addressed, such as improving the design
and fabrication techniques of microneedle patches, ensuring their safety and regulatory compliance, and
scaling up the manufacturing process to make them more accessible and cost-effective. Overall,

Ethosomal gel for topical delivery of Mefenamic acid in the treatment
of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Sunayana Tyagi *, Prabhakar Vishakarma
IIMT college of medical sciences, IIMT university
tyaginayana@gmail.com

Molecules with poor aqueous solubility are difficult to formulate using conventional approaches and are
associated with many formulation delivery issues. To overcome these obstacles, nano vesicle technology
can be one of the promising approaches. Hence, in this study, the feasibility of mefenamic acid (MA) is
examined in ethosomal gel in the treatment of RA. This method is the most often used for producing
ethosomal formulations. In this method, phospholipid, medication, and other lipid components are
dissolved in ethanol in a covered jar at room temperature by aggressively whirling with a mixer. Propylene
glycol or similar polyol is added while stirring. This mixture is cooked to 300ºC in a water bath. To shrink
the vesicle size of an ethosomal formulation to the required level, sonication or extrusion procedures may
be utilized. The goal of the current study was to formulate and assess mefenamic acid ethosomes for topical
medication administration. Several ethanol (20–60%) and soya lecithin (1–5%) concentrations were used to
create the ethosomal formulations. The formulation with 30% ethanol and 3% soya lecithin demonstrated
the maximum drug release (82.66%) and highest transdermal flux in in-vitro release trials. The improved
formulation & drug content and entrapment effectiveness were determined to be 85.32% and 99.5%,
respectively. It was discovered that the drug release from the developed vesicles followed first order
kinetics with a higuchi diffusion mechanism. Mefenamic might perhaps be delivered more effectively via
the skin if it were made into ethosomes.

Biogenesis, isolation, and applications of Cow milk- derived Exosomes
Riya Mahar*
School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Himgiri zee university, Dehradun

Exosomes (EXOs) are naturally occurring endosome-derived nanoparticles that are released by several
biological cells. Earlier exosomes were thought to be merely the waste products from maturing red blood
cells therefore they did not receive much attention at that time. Exosomes are now found in all body fluids
including plasma, urine, tears, cerebral spinal fluid, semen, bronchial fluid, saliva, serum, amniotic fluid,
synovial fluid, lymph, gastric acid, bile, and breast milk. The only biological liquid with EXOs that is
produced commercially is milk. Exosomes have their beginnings in endosomes, and the ultimate content of
the exosomes is produced as a result of interactions with various intracellular vesicles and organelles during
the biogenesis process. They have the same traits as their parents and can be derived from several sources.
Size exclusion chromatography, density gradient centrifugation, or (ultra) centrifugation can be used to
separate EXOs from milk; however, because of the complex makeup of milk, which includes casein
micelles and milk fat globules, there are additional considerations that must be made when using the
aforementioned methods on milk. In addition to these benefits, exosomes prolong their usefulness as
delivery vehicles by preventing undesired buildup or by homing to the liver, which avoids metabolic

Flavanoids have dominated the hunt for new therapeutic agents to treat a variety of human diseases over the
years. One such important flavonoid, rutin, has gained recent recognition for its crucial role in the treatment
of a number of diseases, including cancer, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, neurodegenerative diseases,
etc with a high degree of safety and few side effects. Ras/Raf and PI3K/Akt, MAPK, TGF-
2/Smad2/3Akt/PTEN, and other signalling pathways in cancer have all been shown to be controlled by
rutin. Rutin appears to be successful in treating several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's
disease, according to several studies. Rutin decreases tau hyperphosphorylation by increasing PP2A level,
suppresses gliosis and neuroinflammation by downregulating NF-kB pathway, prevents microglial synapse
engulfment, and restores synapse loss in the brain by decreasing the level of oxidative stress and
proinflammatory cytokines and by increasing the level of antioxidant enzymes.However, several issues,
including poor solubility, low permeability, and subsequently low bioavailability, restrict the utility of rutin

Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species and cause the oxidation of
hypoxanthine into uric acid. Its over activity can lead to the gout-causing hyperuricemia and oxidative
damage to the tissues. The prototypical xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors have been used in the clinical
management of gout and conditions associated with hyperuricemia, but they suffer from many side effects.
Natural products are excellent sources of lead compounds in the search for new medications in certain
clinical disorders. This study includes in-silico molecular docking of naturally derived polyphenols with
antioxidant action on xanthine oxidase receptor. The results of molecular docking were analyzed for
binding affinity and various types of interactions with the receptor. The findings showed that the certain
compounds under investigation had better binding affinity with XO receptor than the standard drug. Further
all the compounds after evaluation with ADME Descriptors were also seen to show drug likeness and did
not violate Lipinski rule of five. Based on these studies, certain compounds were selected for further
research. This research will help us to search better xanthine oxidase inhibitor alternatives which can be

The traditional approaches to research and development in analytics, which rely on trial and error and
inspection of finished products, may not efficiently meet the quality requirements of modern analytics
processes. Quality by Design (QbD) is a proactive and systematic approach to product and process
development that aims to maintain a predefined quality level throughout the entire development cycle.
Integration of QbD concepts with technology has resulted in the development of various QbD software,
which offer several benefits in pharmaceutical product design. Several literature sources on QbD software,
such as Fusion QbD, JMP QbD, Master Control QbD software, and Lean QbD, were found through
literature indexed in PubMed and Google Scholar. For example, Fusion QbD (S-matrix, version Fusion
Pro) is used in Ultrahigh Performance Liquid Chromatography methods for the development of glucose-
responsive insulin therapeutics in pharmaceutical R&D. JMP QbD software (SAS, version JMP Pro), also
known as JMP Statistical Discovery, has been utilized in pharmaceutical R&D for the development of
chitosan-coated nanoliposomes. Lean QbD software (QbD Works, version Knowledge Management
Pharma 4.0) has been employed in QbD for Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) in
pharmaceutical R&D, specifically for immediate-release dosage forms. The aim of these applications is to
ensure good drug product quality profiles and minimize deviations and costly investigations. Incorporating
statistical multivariate analysis in the design of experiments can provide a more reliable and comprehensive
understanding of the relationship between multiple factors and the desired outcome, leading to the
development of robust methods and homogeneous products.

Sleep has a crucial role in how the brain functions work in basic physiological processes including
digestion, appetite regulation, and the operation of the immune, hormonal, and cardiovascular systems.
Generally speaking, the various stages of sleep are commonly split into two categories: one phase of quick
eye development/rapid eye development (REM) sleep and four stages (1-4 stages) of non-fast eye
development/non-rapid eye development (NREM) that are explained on the basis of depth of sleep. Sleep
disorder may be discussed or elucidate as the condition in which the individual is suffering from the
disturbed sleep cycle due to the various factors like excess workload, health condition, tobacco smoking,
alcohol consumption, taking excessive energy drink, uneven sleep timings, diet, wrong sleeping position,
sleeping environment, irregular sleep, genetics history, emotional stress, phycological factor, fatigue,
circadian rhythm, hypersomnia, parasomnia, obesity and under weightlessness, age, sexual relationship,
mental health, anxiety level, irregular menstrual cycle, status in the society, lifestyle etc. It is common for
people to experience sleep disturbances, which can have a negative impact on their health and quality of
life. Insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, sleep apnea, hypersomnia/narcolepsy, parasomnias, and restless
legs syndrome/periodic limb movement disorder are the six main sleep disorders. Most of the sleep disorder
are easy to treat while some of the major disorders are difficult to manage or treat. Genetic sleep disorders

The majority of recently discovered medications are not well soluble in water, which poses a serious
challenge for oral administration. Poor gastrointestinal permeability is another major issue that influences
oral bioavailability; as a result, lipid formulations have been very helpful in enhancing solubility and oral
bioavailability. It is intended to intensify the effects of lipophilic medications that are poorly soluble in
water by using lipid-based formulations like SNEDDS (Self Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery System).
Drug delivery research now heavily relies on nanotechnology, which has a significant impact on the
therapeutic performance of hydrophobic medicines. Several advantages of SNEDDS include improved
mobility, improved drug stability, and improved oral bioavailability of a restricted number of water-soluble
pharmacological components. Droplet size determines how SNEDDS are categorized. Self-Nano

The poor pharmacokinetics of drug molecules is a significant factor that leads to their high failure rates in
drug discovery and development. To address this issue, predictive software tools for absorption,
distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) are now widely used by pharmaceutical companies and
research institutions to screen drug candidates for their therapeutic potential. By improving the safety and
efficacy of pharmaceutical drug products, pharmacokinetic studies can also increase the success rates of
clinical trials. These software tools utilize advanced technologies such as machine learning, artificial
intelligence, and computational modeling to predict the ADME properties of drug candidates. Examples of
such software tools include ADMET Predictor, Derek Nexus, SwissADME, GastroPlus, and K-ADME.
With the help of these software tools, researchers can screen many molecules efficiently and prioritize
compounds for further testing and formulation development. This accelerates the drug discovery process
and helps bring new drugs to the market more quickly and efficiently. This paper provides an overview of

well-being. Nutrition supplements are products designed to supplement the diet with nutrients that may be
lacking or deficient. They may contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or other nutrients, and they are
available in various forms, such as tablets, capsules, powders, and liquids. Many people use nutrition
supplements to support their overall health, enhance athletic performance, or manage specific health
conditions. Herbal drugs, also known as botanicals, are plant-based products that contain one or more active
ingredients that may have medicinal properties. Herbal drugs have been used for centuries in traditional
medicine and are now gaining recognition in modern medicine. Examples of commonly used herbal drugs
include ginseng, echinacea, and St. John's wort. While herbal drugs are generally considered safe, they can
interact with prescription medications, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using
them. The use of nutrition supplements and herbal drugs has both benefits and risks. Proper use of these
products can provide essential nutrients, support overall health, and complement conventional medical
treatment. However, improper use can lead to adverse effects, including toxicity, drug interactions, and
adverse effects on health. Therefore, it is essential to use these products under the guidance of a healthcare
provider and to choose reputable brands that have been independently tested for safety and efficacy.

There are 10 billion bacteria in the mouth cavity, some of which are harmful to the oral cavity's cleanliness.
Traditional herbal tooth powders are used to clean teeth and to treat a variety of oral diseases, including
tooth decay, disintegration, irritation, and toothaches.The three main dental issues are gingivitis, plaque,
and periodontal disorders. These serious problems are the result of improper oral hygiene practices and
disregard for proper teeth care. By resulting in gum tissue irritation, this carelessness promotes plaque
accumulation on teeth and eventually resulted in periodontitis and tooth loss.Due to the use of ingredients,
most artificial dentifrice products, including toothpaste and toothpowder, have adverse effects that include
mouth inflammation, mouth sores, stinging, and inflammation. By the formulation of herbal toothpowder
utilizing Tulsi, Neem, Arjuna, Clove, Cinnamon, Amla, Catechu, Liquorice, Black Pepper, Camphor,

Polypharmacy & Social Economic Problems
Anamika Kumari, Jyoti Joshi
Department of Pharmacy, Kingston Imperial Institute of Technical Sciences, Doonga, Dehradun, India-248007

When at least five medications are taken at once, this is referred to as polypharmacy, which raises the
possibility of drug-drug and drug-disease interactions as well as non-adherence to drug therapy. Due to age-
related pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes, this may have detrimental health effects,
especially in older persons. Additionally, older persons who have several chronic diseases frequently
encounter a multidisciplinary approach to their care. In these situations, professional communication is
crucial to ensuring the quality of healthcare delivery, including the right prescription of medications.
Reduced cognitive abilities, mortality, and an increased risk of hospitalisation were discovered in older
persons who use many medications. Morbidities serving as the primary justification for pharmaceutical use
may contribute to poor health outcomes in those who use many medications. The adverse effects of
polypharmacy include mortality declines, unfavourable medication responses, prolonged hospital stays, and

School of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Technology, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Balawala, Dehradun, India

Optimization is a crucial process in the pharmaceutical field, as it ensures that safety, efficacy quality of
pharmaceutical products. Studying the impact of multiple formulation variables on the quality parameters
of a pharmaceutical formulation using traditional methods like OFAT (one factor at a time) can be a time-
consuming and resource-intensive process, requiring many formulation variables to be physically tested.
Testing all possible combinations of variables at different levels, sometimes in combination, can be a
burdensome task. However, advancements in computational science have given rise to the development of
commercial software that can optimize formulations and predict optimal formulations, saving time and
costs for formulation scientists. Design of Experiments (DoE) is a valuable feature of these software tools,
allowing for the creation and prediction of optimal formulation combinations. A literature search was
conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar for the last 5 years, revealing the use of several optimization
software including Design-Expert®, MiniTab, JMP, XLSTAT, etc. This software are capable to perform
DoE, screening of factors, optimization through classical statistical designs, response surfaces, contour plot,
modelling of formulation variables and predication of formulations. Software differs in their interfaces and

Among the different novel drug delivery systems, the fast-dissolving drug delivery system is rapidly
gaining interest in pharmaceutical Industry. Fast dissolving drug delivery systems have been gaining
popularity and acceptance because they are easy to administer and achieve better patient compliance
Dissolving tablets are commonly used as a well – liked and widely accepted dosage form, especially for
paediatrics because of the partial development of the muscular and nervous system, as well as for geriatric
patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease or hand tremors. Capsules and tablets are among the solid
dosage forms that face problems nowadays such as difficulty swallowing There is no doubt that the oral
route of administration is the most convenient route of administration, but there is a major disadvantage:
dysphagia (difficult swallowing). Novel drug delivery systems have developed mouth dissolving tablets
that have improved pet compliance and are much more convenient.

Zainab Parveen*, Swati Kumari1 Chhavi Chauhan, Kiran Dobhal
Uttaranchal Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Uttaranchal University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, 248007

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an ever-evolving global danger driven by the misuse and abuse of
antitoxins. AMR occurs when the microbe-stimulating ingredient counteracts the effects of an anti-infective
drug, rendering it insufficient to treat a bacterial disease. This results in longer stays in medical clinics,
higher medical costs, and higher death rates. Development of new antimicrobial agents has also been slow,
further compounding the problem. AMR is caused by multiple variables, looking at the misuse of
antimicrobial agents by hu man and biological organisms, lack of cleaning and disinfection, and the global
spread of safe microorganisms. Addressing this problem will require several approaches, including
promoting the conscious us use of antitoxins, improving new antimicrobial agents and selective treatments,
and additional observation and monitoring in the fight against antitoxin blockages. infection. Several AMR
actions have been fully launched, including the Global AMR Action Plan sent by the World Health
Organization (WHO). The arrangement aims to promote the responsible use of antitoxins, continue the
exploration and monitoring of antimicrobial resistance, and increase awareness of this issue. Additionally,
experts are looking for selective drugs f or bacterial diseases, such as bacteriophages and probiotics, to
reduce reliance on anti-infective drugs. In conclusion, antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to general
global wellbeing and requires planned and sustained efforts to address it. Proper infection control
management, promotion of cleaning and sterilization, and allocation of resources to further infection
control improvements are key components of a comprehensive AMR program.

Paediatrics’ challenges with the Oral Drug Delivery System and current methods
Pankaj Singh Karki*, Anil Rawat
Uttaranchal Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Uttaranchal University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, 248007
karkip988@gmail.com

Most drugs cannot be given to paediatric patients in proper dosage forms. The current study's goal is to
demonstrate novel approaches to paediatric oral medication administration. To address issues with drug
administration, toxicity, and taste preference, the drug is designed to best suit a child's age (neonatal-3
years), need for diagnosis, size, and physiological condition. Pharmacotherapy in paediatrics differs from
that in adult medicine in many ways. In terms of palatability, the formulation for paediatric use presents the
greatest challenge. Because of the many constraints in the solid formulation, in paediatrics, the drug
formulation should be designed with flexible doses, improved palatability, and ease of administration in
mind. The current study's goal is to demonstrate novel approaches to paediatric oral drug delivery. To
overcome issues with drug administration, toxicity, and taste preference, the drug is designed to best suit a
child's age, need for treatment, size, and physiological condition. Neonatal dosage forms should ideally be
safe, enjoyable, dose-adequate, and free of pharmaceutical errors. One of the most common reasons for
poor patient adherence, particularly in children and the elderly, is difficulty swallowing tablets and/or pills.
Patients who are paralysed or immobile and unable to take traditional dosage forms require an alternative
method of medication administration. The medicated straw is a novel delivery method that allows
medication to be consumed with non-viscous liquids such as water, tea, juice, or any other beverage. It is a
simple and effective method of accurately delivering medications to young children and the elderly. Since
inorganic particle delivery systems support an appropriate emulsifier security and suitability profile in these
delicate clinical groups, they can be used as multifunctional active ingredients to meet the special
healthcare needs of kids and babies.

Diabetes prevalence is spreading fast, particularly in emerging nations such as India. According to current
World Health Organization data, India has the world's highest number of diabetes subjects. Diabetes
incidence in India is increasing, according to the Chennai Urban Population Study (CUPS), the Chennai
Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES), and the National Urban Diabetes Survey (NUDS). Some of the
major risk factors for diabetes are universal, although their severity varies between races, regions, and
nations. Diabetes prevalence in India might be due to a mix of genetic and environmental factors caused by
urbanization and industrialization, which has resulted in inactive lifestyles, physical inactivity, stress, and
obesity caused by energy and fat heavy foods. Diabetes problems that arise during the most productive
years of their life result in a major burden of disease and death, creating an economic and social burden at
both the individual and national levels.Diabetics are more than twice as expensive to treat as non-diabetics,
due to the high expenditures involved with the care of associated problems. Prevention appears to be the
most efficient method of fighting this disease. This article discusses the social and economic consequences
of diabetes in India, as well as the preventive actions that must be taken.

marhaba.rashid123@gmail.com

The use of genetic manipulation in pharmacy dates as far back as the 1980s with the discovery of rDNA
technology. Since past few years, CRISPR- Cas9 has been in the limelight as a powerful and revolutionary
gene editing tool which can be used to turn genes on and off, and cause deletions or insertions in genes.
CRISPR was originally identified as an adaptive immune system of bacteria against viral pathogens. Cas 9
is a part of CRISPR acting as a restriction enzyme to cut specific parts of DNA when it complexes with an
RNA molecule to help it recognize the target site. This is a more efficient and precise way of genetic
modification by cleaving, so far, up to 20 bp long genomes and can has made possible the editing of larger
animal and human genome as well. The pharmacy field is also beginning to apply CRISPR to develop new
ways to cure genetic diseases, such as sickle cell anaemia and beta- thalassemia. Additionally, drug target
identification process needed for drug discovery is also utilizing CRISPR- Cas9 for in vivo studies to find
the link between particular genes and diseases and creating animal models to more accurately mimic human
diseases. CRISPR achieves this by making it possible to precisely modify the animal's genome to introduce
specific human disease mutations, hence developing large animal models for various diseases. CRISPR-
Cas9 tool seems to hold a potential for creating innovative solutions to treatment and it is crucial for
pharmacists to capitalize on this novel technology.

Plants are considered as one of the most important sources of medicines. Sunscreens are more prevalent for
the protection of the human skin from harmful UV rays of the sun. Medicinal plant can be used in the
preparation of effective sunscreens which are helpful for the protection of our skin as they do not have any
side effects and can be used for any skin type. Due to its capacity to only cover a very limited surface area
with each application, sunscreen in the stick form is currently gaining notice. It has a high-water resistance,
is simple to use, and creates a cohesive, durable protective film. This study is based on studying the SPF of
PyrostegiaVenustaplant and to develop a formulation for photoprotection. The physical characteristics of
the leaf were studied. Extraction of the leaf was performed. To determine the phytoconstituents, the
ethanolic extract& phytochemical composition was screened. From this ethanolic extract the SPF was
studied by In vitro method from Mansur equation. A formulation was developed from the extract which
was a sunscreen stick. The results showed presence of alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids in the ethanolic
extract. The SPF of the leaf was reported to be 10.84075 ± 0.02. The sunscreen stickformulation also
showed satisfactory photoprotective activity. The study findings lead us to the conclusion that
the formulation could shield the skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.

Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System
Sarvesh Tripathi*, Jhuma Samanta
Department of Pharmacy, Kingston Imperial Institute of Technical Sciences, Doonga, Dehradun, India-248007

The pharmaceutical industry faces a major challenge with orally administered drugs' low aqueous
solubility, which results in poor dissolution and low bioavailability, high intra- and inter-subject variability,
and a lack of dose proportionality. Approximately 35 to 40% of recently launched drugs have this problem.
Several processes, such as salt production, solid dispersion, and complex creation, might increase this.
SEDDS are characterized as isotropic mixtures of one or more hydrophilic solvents and
cosolvents/surfactants that have the extraordinary capacity to produce fine oil-in-water (o/w) micro
emulsions under gentle agitation followed by dilution in aqueous media, such as GI fluids. The current
review offers an up-to-date overview of SEDDS developments about its composition, assessment, various
dosage forms, newer methods of solidifying liquid SEDDS, as well as a variety of applications. It may be a
viable strategy for lipophilic medicines with dissolution rate-limited absorption if these formulations and
procedures can create microemulsions or fine oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions following modest stirring and
dilution by water phase along the GI tract. The evaluation of SEDDS and its uses are also covered, with an
emphasis on the improvements made to the dosage form and solid self-emulsifying delivery mechanism of
SEDDS. SEDDS may be researched for the development of a formulation with sustained drug release by
incorporating a suitable polymer into the formulation. The development of this technology may result in a
novel use for the delivery of medicines.

Antibiotic resistance poses serious challenges to health and national security, and policy changes will be
required to mitigate the consequences of antibiotic resistance. Resistance can arise in disease-causing
bacteria naturally, or it can be deliberately introduced to a biological weapon. In either case, life-saving
drugs are rendered ineffective. Resistant bacterial infections are difficult to treat, and there are few new
antibiotics in the drug development pipeline. This article describes how antibiotic resistance affects health
and national security, how bacteria become antibiotic resistant, and what should be done now so antibiotics
will be available to save lives in the future. Antibiotics resistance is among the leading global health till
date. The antibiotics are misused in different fields such as inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics, their
overuse in the livestock sector, etc. Antibiotics are the wonder drugs to combat microbes. Antibiotics
resistant infections correlate with the level of antibiotics consumption. Non – judicial use of antibiotics is
mostly responsible for making the microbes resistant.

School of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Technology, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Balawala, Dehradun, India

Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating algorithms capable of
making predictions or decisions based on input data. In the pharmaceutical industry, ML algorithms have
proven to be useful for various applications such as the optimization of drug formulations, drug discovery,
and pharmacokinetic predictions. Due to the numerous variables and factors involved in these processes,
ML techniques are valuable for their ability to analyze vast amounts of data. An extensive literature survey
revealed various designs of supervised, unsupervised, and semi supervised ML can be utilized for
optimizing drug formulations. Some of these designs include, K-nearest neighbour, support vector machine,
decision tree, and principal component analysis which use solubility, stability, and bioavailability data to
predict the properties of new formulations. SVMs are another type of ML algorithm that can predict the
properties of new formulations based on their similarity to known data points. Random forests can be
utilized to determine the most crucial excipients and dosage forms for enhancing drug stability, solubility,
and bioavailability. Moreover, Bayesian optimization can be utilized to identify the most suitable
combination of excipients and dosage forms for a given drug based on previous formulations. The
utilization of Artificial Neural Networks can significantly contribute to the optimization of pharmaceutical
products. The purpose of this paper is to showcase how these designs can enhance optimization by
explaining their fundamental concepts. However, use of ML in the pharmaceutical industry not only speeds
up the process of drug development and enables the discovery of new materials and innovative
formulations, but also leads to the generation of novel findings in the realm of drug formulation research.

Organoid Intelligence in Biocomputing is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technology in which the
applications of Biocomputing are applied to develop an artificial organ known as organoid to replace the
processing unit, i.e., CPU in the computer system to enhance the efficiency of processor. Organoid is a
miniature version of any organ produced by stem cells in vitro. The application of the OI is to study the
development of human brain and the pharmacological responses of various drugs on the brain. It also
emphasises the drug discovery, biomedical research, and regenerative medicine. However, there are some
challenges in this field of interest including technological changes such as scaling up, microfluidic systems,
new model and algorithms and some ethical challenges too. According to the findings, human brain
organoids might be used to better understand brain development and diseases. Because research copies of
human mind organoids are so diverse, artificial intelligencetechniques are used to study the evolution of the
human brain. But the advantages are more than the challenges. So, this is an upcoming approach in the field
of pharmacy.

Application of Ofloxacin
Nandini Chaturvedi1*
School of Pharmacy and Research, Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University, Dehradun

Ofloxacin is a newly licensed fluoroquinolone with an antimicrobial spectrum like ciprofloxacin. Compared
with ciprofloxacin, the MIC90 values for ofloxacin are lower for S aureus, C trachomatis, and
Ureaplasmaurealyticum, but somewhat higher against gram-negative bacteria (especially P aeruginosa).
Ofloxacin has favourable pharmacokinetics with almost 100% bioavailability; peak serum concentrations
obtained one to two hours following oral dosing are higher than those achieved with ciprofloxacin. The oral
bioavailability is decreased by the coadministration of antacids, but ofloxacin does not alter serum
theophylline concentrations. Ofloxacin has demonstrated bacteriologic and clinical efficacy in the treatment
of urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, prostatitis, and skin and soft tissue infections caused
by susceptible organisms, although there are little data to recommend ofloxacin over ciprofloxacin for these
indications. Ofloxacin should not be used alone to treat anaerobic or mixed aerobic/anaerobic infections,
and a penicillin or cephalosporin is preferred for known or suspected streptococcal or pneumococcal
infection. Ofloxacin is the only quinolone currently approved for the treatment of uncomplicated
gonorrhoea.
Keywords: Ofloxacin, Bacteria, Quinolone.

Ashutosh Bhandari*, Surojit Banerjee, Debadri Banerjee, Anupama Singh, Vikas Anand Saharan
School of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Technology, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Balawala, Dehradun, India

Markov models have become an essential tool in healthcare economics, particularly in the evaluation of the
cost-effectiveness of healthcare interventions. These models are used to analyze the potential outcomes of a
particular intervention by illustrating disease states and tracking transitions between them. To support cost-
effectiveness analyses, several tasks are involved, such as developing decision trees, creating mathematical
spreadsheets, developing simulation models, and performing cost enumeration. Markov models play a
crucial role in developing patient education models, pharmaceutical sales tools, and aiding shared decision-
making between patients and healthcare providers. The Markov decision tree is commonly used to compare
the cost-effectiveness of different treatment options by integrating information related to natural history,
clinical efficacy, health-related quality of life, resource use, and costs into a lifetime cost estimate. Several
software tools are used in Markov modeling, including Microsoft Excel, TreeAge Health Pro, etc. These
software tools can help generate cost-effectiveness analyses and aid in the development of patient education
models and pharmaceutical sales tools. Numerous studies have been conducted using Markov models to
evaluate the cost-effectiveness of various treatments. For example, a Markov decision tree was constructed
using the TreeAge Pro program to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of chemotherapy versus
chemotherapy plus bevacizumab for the treatment of cervical cancer. Overall, Markov models are a critical
analytical tool for estimating the cost-effectiveness of treatment programs and can aid in market analysis of
pharmaceutical products. Their importance in healthcare economics cannot be overemphasized, and they
will continue to be widely utilized in decision analyses in the future. The aim of this paper is to describe a
specific application of Markov modeling in the pharmaceutical industry, which involves evaluating the
cost-effectiveness of different drug products over time. This analysis can help stakeholders make informed
decisions about the allocation of resources and identify the most effective strategies for improving patient
outcomes.

shvni311299@gmail.com

Digital pills, also known as smart pills or connected pills, are medications that are equipped with a tiny
sensor that can be ingested and then tracked remotely. The sensor is usually no larger than a grain of sand
and is activated when it encounters stomach acid. Once activated, the sensor sends a signal to a patch worn
on the patient& skin, which in turn sends the data to a mobile app or web-based portal that can be accessed
by the patient, their doctor, or other authorized individuals. The purpose of digital pills is to improve
medication adherence and to help doctors and caregivers monitor a patient&medication usage more closely.
The technology can be especially useful for patients with chronic conditions or for those who need to take
multiple medications on a regular basis. By tracking when a patient takes their medication, doctors can
better tailor treatment plans and ensure that patients are receiving the appropriate dosage. These pills claim
to enhance cognitive skills such as memory, concentration, creativity, and motivation, also known as
cognitive enhancers or nootropics. Some smart pills are promoted as prescription drugs, while others are
sold as dietary supplements over the counter. There is some scientific evidence that certain smart pill
ingredients, such as caffeine, B vitamins, and herbal extracts, can improve cognitive function to some
extent. While digital pills are still a relatively new technology, there are already several on the market.
Digital pills have a significant potential for savings in healthcare costs by reducing the need for emergency
medical care and the hospitalization of patients. The efficacy and safety of smart pills, on the other hand,
are still being debated in the scientific community.

vitro models in evaluation of anti-arthritis potential of drug or medicaments. The findings obtained from in-
vitro studies have provided insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cartilage
degradation, synovial inflammation, and bone remodelling in arthritis. The advantages and limitations of in-
vitro models, including their ability to mimic specific aspects of arthritis pathology while also posing
certain limitations in terms of complexity and variability, are discussed in this section. In-vitro models have
proven to be valuable tools in arthritis research, providing insights into the cellular and molecular
mechanisms underlying the disease. They offer controlled experimental conditions and allow for precise
manipulation of gene expression, providing a platform for studying specific mechanisms in a controlled
environment. However, it is important to interpret the results obtained from in-vitro models with caution,
considering their limitations in recapitulating the complexity of the in-vivo joint environment. Overall, in-
vitro models have significantly contributed to our understanding of arthritis and hold promise for further
advancements in arthritis research and drug development.

Abhit Kumar, Mansi Pal*
Department of Pharmacology, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Balawala Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Antibiotic resistance is an important concern for the public health authorities at global level as these are the
medication that combat and slow down the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics now days play a key role in any
treatment as they are used in various kind of diseases and infections. Resistance is development of the
ability to withstand the previously destructive effect of a drug. Antibiotic-resistant infections correlate with
the level of antibiotic consumption. The main causes of resistivity is regular use of antibiotics even in a
small illness, self- medication and also the practice done in hospital and clinics to increase the profit from
it. One major cause of resistivity is incomplete dosage when symptoms were vanished. Proper vaccination
in childhood, &amp; also having the complete knowledge of antibiotics, its duration of use, dose of
administration as per the patient’s age group, regulations, surveillance of antibacterial resistance and proper
diagnosis of disease can lead to minimization of antibiotic resistance. Our purpose is to explore the origin,
development, and the current state of antibiotic resistance, regulation, and challenges by examining
available data &amp; the optimal use of antibiotics medicines in human and animal health to reduce
antibiotic resistance.

Iridoids showed anticancer, antiproliferative, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, antihyperglycemic, and


immune stimulatory activities. The prominence of iridoids has been recognized in recent years because of
improvements in methods for the extraction, storage, and isolation of natural components. Zika and H3N2
viruses belong to the RNA virus causing the reoccurrence of epidemics and pandemics in the last decades.
Both infections are the type of zoonotic diseases; that transmit very fast. In this manuscript, we selected 59
iridoids (Iridoid glycosides, Secoiridoids, Bis-iridoids and non-glycosidic iridoids) and performed
molecular docking interaction studies against 7VLG (Zika virus receptor) and 6EUY (H3N2 influenza virus
receptor). Molecular docking interaction revealed that 2'-O-(4-methoxycinnamoyl) mussaenosidic acid and
6-O-trans-p-Coumaroylshanzhiside methyl ester showed maximum dock score of (-) 8.6 kcal/mol and (-)
9.2 kcal/mol against 7VLG and 6EUY, respectively. Further confirmation of docking interaction was done
by MD simulation and MMPBSA analysis. MD simulation data showed that RMSD, RMSF were within
limit. MM/PBSA analysis data showed that free binding energy of (-) 21.398 kJ/mol and (-) 127.169 kJ/mol
was observed with 2'-O-(4-methoxycinnamoyl) mussaenosidic acid-7VLG and 6-O-trans-p-
Coumaroylshanzhiside methyl ester-6EUY, respectively. These data confirmed that if we are rerouting
these iridoids towards zika virus and influenza (H3N2) strains then it might be beneficial for mankind.

Ruchika Rawat*, Surojit Banerjee, Debadri Banerjee, Anupama Singh, Vikas Anand Saharan
School of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Technology, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Balawala, Dehradun, India

In the past, pharmaceutical aseptic processing operations relied on manual interventions for tasks such as
filling, stoppering, capping, and heat-sealing of vials and ampoules, leading to personnel-related
contamination, especially during the filling of syringes. To enhance aseptic process control, advanced
technologies like isolators, automatic inspection systems, automated filling systems, and robotics were
introduced, providing benefits such as positive container handling, visual systems for inspection, and
verification of proper labelling information. Robotics are computer-controlled and offer flexibility, speed,
accuracy, and durability for industrial processes. Stericlean robots fully resistant to hydrogen peroxide are
used to meet pharmaceutical application requirements. Cleanroom robots, such as the CR/SCR series,
maintain cleanroom classifications, typically ISO class 5 or 6. BlueBotics mini, a compact autonomous
mobile robot, is ideal for cleanrooms, laboratories, light material handling, and small industrial robot
integration. At UCD, autonomous robots are being developed for environmental monitoring activities in
pharmaceutical facilities, including sampling and viable air and particulate air sampling. During the
COVID-19 pandemic, collaborative robots like YuMi have helped to analyze serological tests by
automating up to 77% of the testing actions and analyzing up to 450 samples per hour. The goal of
implementing robotic technology in cleanroom processes like aseptic filling is to reduce particle generation
and maintain ISO class 5 or 6 standards.

Precision Medicine: Better frame of treatment
Aarti Sati*, Kritika Saini
Department of Pharmacology, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences,Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Dehradun,
Uttarakhand, India
sainikittu13@gmail.com

Precision medicine is a new approach to illness prevention and treatment that considers the genetic,
environmental, and lifestyle variations of everyone. This initiative fosters evidence-based, or data-driven,
decision making by spanning a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including medicationdevelopment,
genomics, health communication, and causal inference. The heterogeneity of various illnesses is what
drives the need for precision medicine. Refined disease categorization is made possible by new diagnostic
techniques, and this may have significant prognostic consequences. Clinical trials can evaluate efficacy,
safety, and cost-effectiveness when targeted medicines are available, resulting in updated clinical
recommendations. Adoption of clinical implementation by regulatory bodies, payers, clinicians, and
patients is necessary. When it comes to clinical implementation, each of these groups has a unique
viewpoint, responsibility, and motivation. Health systems will need to offer diagnostics, informatics, and
decision assistance to healthcare practitioners due to the complexity of the data enabling precision
medicine. Due to their genetic composition and exposure to environmental risk factors, all patients have
unique demands. The implementation of individualised diagnostic tests and therapies that are based on a
patient particular genetic predisposition and history, along with generalised screening and preventative
efforts, results in the provision of the most effective healthcare for a patient group. By determining the
requirements of each patient and enhancing their results, precision medicine should be considered as a way
to provide the finest healthcare possible for a community.

vaishali.koul@copdoon.org

Parkinson disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors,
rigidity, and bradykinesia. Despite extensive research, there is no cure for PD, and the currently available
medications have limitations in terms of efficacy and side effects. As a result, there is growing interest in
exploring natural products as potential therapeutics for PD due to their safety, accessibility, and potential
neuro-protective properties. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of the current literature on
natural products used in PD, including their mechanisms of action and potential benefits. Materials and
Methods: Present study conducted an extensive literature search using databases such as PubMed, Scopus,
and Web of Science, and reviewed relevant articles regarding in vitro, in vivo, and clinical reports on
natural products between 2000 and 2023. The mechanisms of action of these natural products were also
analyzed, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuro-protective properties.Results and Discussion:
This review revealed that a wide range of natural products, including phytochemicals, herbal extracts, and
dietary supplements, have shown potential benefits in PD. Many of these natural products exert their effects
through multiple mechanisms, including anti- oxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, modulation of
signalling pathways and enhancement of neuronal survival. Some of the natural products studied include

curcumin, resveratrol, green tea catechins, ginsenosides, and omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, natural
products such as coenzyme Q10, vitamin D, and creatine have also been investigated for their potential
neuroprotective effects in PD. However, the results of these studies are not always consistent, and further
research is needed to determine their safety, optimal dosages, and long-term effects. Natural products have
emerged as promising candidates for the development of novel therapeutics for PD. Their diverse
mechanisms of action and potential neuro-protective properties make them attractive for further
investigation. However, more rigorous preclinical and clinical studies are needed to fully understand their
effectiveness, safety, and optimal use in themanagement of PD. Natural products have the potential to
complement existing treatmentoptions for PD and may offer new hope for patients with this debilitating
neurodegenerativedisorder.

Drug repurposing in Tuberculosis: A hope for MDR Tuberculosis
Mansi Pal, Abhit Kumar*
Department of Pharmacology, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Balawala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a deadly pathogen, which infects a large cluster of the population globally
and is the cause of the maximum number of deaths due to single infectious agent. Current therapy of TB,
Directly Observed Treatment Short - course (DOTS) comprises multiple antibiotics administered in
combination for 6 months, which eliminates the bacteria and prevents the emergence of drug - resistance in
patient. However, due to various limitations like severe toxicity, low efficacy and long duration, patient
struggle to comply with the prescribed therapy, which leads to the development of drug resistance (DR).
Drug repurposing is a cost-effective emerging strategy, which aims to treat resistant infectious diseases by
identifying known drugs with predicted efficacy for disease other than the target disease. The repurposed
drugs moxifloxacin, linezolid and clofazimine are used to treat extensively drug resistant TB when first- or
second-line drugs fail. Like clofazimine originally used to treat leprosy, it has not traditionally been used
against TB, because it has little bactericidal activity. However recent studies have shown that it has
sterilizing and treatment shortening potential. The list of other repurposed drugs includes sulphonamides,
sulphanilamide, sulfadiazine, clofazimine, linezolid, amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid, carbapenems, metformin,
verapamil, fluoroquinolones, statins and NSAIDs.

challenging due to the lack of sufficient reasonable chemicals and biological properties for optimization. To
overcome this limitation, the ultimate goal is to replace in vitro experiments within silico ADME
(absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) models. In silico pharmaceutical characterization
includes data interpretation, processing of logP and logD, Pka, solubility data, and assessment of ADME,
among other drug properties data. In recent years, in silico pharmacokinetic characterization has grown
significantly due to advancements in pharmacokinetic data analysis. Several important in silico tools
include Gastroplus, WinNonlin, PK Analix, XlSimEst and PK Solver. These tools offer researchers a
timesaving and easily operable method for fundamental analysis of pharmacokinetic data. This paper
describes in brief this software and some applications of these software for characterizing pharmaceutical

Innovation approach to control Hyperthyroidism
Aarti Sati, Mansi Chaudhary
Department of Pharmacology, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Dehradun,

Mansichaudhary435@gmail.com

The parathyroid hormone is secreted from parathyroid gland (PTG) cells. PTG cells can sense small change
in plasma Ca 2+ levels by the presence of a cell surface Ca 2+ receptor (CaR) that belongs to the family of G
protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). Compounds that activate the CaR and inhibit PTH secretion are termed
‘calcimimetics’ because they mimic or potentiate the effects of extracellular Ca 2+ on PTG cell
function. Preclinical studies with NPS R-568, a first generation calcimimetic compound that acts as
a positive allosteric modulator of the CaR, have demonstrated that oral administration decreases serum
levels of PTH and calcium, with a leftward shift in the set-point for calcium-regulated PTH secretion in
normal rats. NPS R-568 also suppresses the elevation of serum PTH levels and PTG hyperplasia
and can improve bone mineral density (BMD) and strength in rats with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI).
Clinical trials with cinacalcethydrochloride (cinacalcet), a compound with an improved metabolic profile,
have shown that long-term treatment can suppress the inc calcium levels and PTH in patients with primary
hyperparathyroidism (1HPT).

Efficient delivery of aerosolized drugs to the lungs is crucial for the successful treatment of respiratory
diseases. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for optimizing pulmonary
drug delivery under various aerosol conditions. CFD simulations can be used to analyze key factors such as
aerosol particle size, inhaler design, and integration techniques to enhance drug deposition and distribution
within the lungs. Spray drying is a versatile approach widely used for delivering approved small molecule
oral products, as well as emerging applications for specific biologics and non-oral dry powder delivery.
Magnetic targeting technology is another area of study to stimulate magnetic particle transport and
deposition in specific regions of lung modeling. CFD simulations have been used to investigate marketed
formulations for pulmonary drug delivery, including Advair diskus, Respimat, ProAir HFA, and Pulmicort
Respules. To optimize pulmonary drug delivery systems, software tools such as ANSYS Fluent,
OpenFOAM, and STAR-CCM+ are commonly used software for CFD simulations. However, there are

Many Asian countries employ the bark of the Magnolia tree for medicinal purposes. Magnolia has a wide
range of medical uses, including regulating GI motility, treating cough and asthma symptoms, preventing
cardiovascular disease, treating mental illness, and treating brain disorders. 118 magnolia species were still
being researched as of this year as well. However, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has
designated 231 species as "vulnerable" or "critically endangered." These changes are very certainly caused
by new species. Magnolia leaves yielded 20 isolated chemicals, including 16 lignans with 6 distinct
structural types. The next compounds are 2,5′-dien-2′,8′-epoxy-5′-methoxy-8-methyl-4′-oxo-3,4-
methylenedioxy-spiro-5,5-undecane, veraguensin (16), sitosterol, and magliflonenone (7R, 8S, and

guaiol (5.4%), and bulnesol (4.9%) were the main components of the essential oil, according to an analysis.
It has been hypothesized that Honokiol and Propofol's polyphenolic structural similarities account for their
similar hypnotic pharmacologic effects. This species can be found in the coastal lowlands of the United
States and Mexico from eastern Texas to North Carolina. Magnolia species shows some pharmacological
activities like neuroprotective, anticancer, anti-microbial, anti-platelets, anti-asthmatic, gastrointestinal,
hormone regulation. This plant has gained broad use in traditional medicine and as a beautiful tree due to its
huge, alluring flowers. Among the diseases that this plant may help are high blood pressure, cardiac issues,

The field of medicine has relied on various traditional routes of drug administration, such as oral, rectal,
intranasal, and subcutaneous, for centuries. However, these methods have certain limitations, including
poor bioavailability, which refers to the amount of a drug that reaches the systemic circulation and produces
a therapeutic effect. Conventional drug delivery systems, such as tablets, capsules, and ointments, also
suffer from this issue. Recent advancements in technology have led to the development of robotic drug
delivery systems, which can precisely and consistently administer multiple doses of a drug at a pre-
established rate. These systems can also be programmed to adjust the dosage and rate of drug delivery
based on a patient's response or changes in their condition, offering personalized treatment and minimizing
the risk of adverse effects. Soft robots, made of flexible and biocompatible materials, have shown great
potential in drug delivery applications due to their ability to navigate complex biological environments and
deliver drugs precisely to target sites. Examples of soft robots include origami robots, which are made by
folding sheets of material into specific shapes to perform tasks like walking or grabbing objects, and sperm
robots, which move through fluids and navigate complex environments like the human body. Robotic
patches, wearable soft robots made of stretchable materials, can provide various functions such as sensing,
monitoring, and drug delivery, while robotic capsules are designed to be swallowed like pills for medical
applications such as endoscopy, diagnosis, or drug delivery. Finally, nanorobots are extremely small soft
robots designed to operate at the cellular or molecular level, performing tasks such as drug delivery or
targeted tissue repair. The development of these robotic drug delivery systems offers exciting possibilities
for the future of medicine.

Arpit Kumar
Quantum School of Health Science,Quantum University, Roorkee
arpitdhiman123456@gmail.com

Herbal drug discovery has gained major attention in the pharmaceutical research field in recent decades.
The use of traditional herbal medicine has shifted towards modern approaches to drug design and therapy.
The World Health Organization recommends the practice of traditional systems of medicine as it is
affordable, safe, and culturally acceptable. Developing new possibilities for drug development by using
compounds from nature is a challenging method. Historically, natural products have played a significant
role in drug discovery, particularly for cancer and infectious diseases. Natural products and their derivatives
represent more than 50% of all the drugs in modern therapeutics. There is ongoing research into the
immunomodulatory properties of herbal medicines. The development and evaluation of herbs and herbals
are controlled and implemented through various agencies in different countries. One of the main challenges
is the low success rate and huge capital investment needed for the discovery of synthetic drugs, which has
led to a renewed interest in the research and development of traditional herbal medicine. Another challenge
is the need to continuously improve the quality and quantity of compounds that enter drug discovery
programs from plants. The prospects of herbal drug technology are promising, and the global knowledge
about Ayurveda and Indian herbals will hopefully be enhanced by information on the evidence base of
these plants, which will yield rich dividends in the coming years.

Aniket Sharma*, Surojit Banerjee, Debadri Banerjee, Anupama Singh, Vikas Anand Saharan
School of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Technology, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Balawala, Dehradun, India

In the field of pharmaceuticals, determining the dissolution properties of drugs is critical for understanding
their behavior in the body and ensuring their effectiveness. In the past, this has been achieved through in
vivo and in vitro studies, but these methods have limitations, such as high cost and potential inaccuracies.
Therefore, there has been an increasing interest in using in silico methods to predict dissolution. In silico
methods involve the use of computer simulations to model and predict the behavior of drugs in the body.
One of the advantages of using in silico methods for dissolution studies is the precision they provide, as
they can be highly controlled and standardized. To address the challenge of predicting dissolution using in
silico methods, various tools and software have been developed. DD Solver and DDDPlus™ are two such
tools. DD Solver is a freely available program that can perform a range of techniques for comparing drug
release data, including exploratory data analysis, univariate ANOVA, and the difference and similarity
factors. The results of DD Solver have been shown to be satisfactory, making it a useful tool for dissolution
data analysis. DDDPlus™, on the other hand, is a leading commercial software that can simulate in vitro
dissolution of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients under various experimental conditions.
While there is limited published data validating its performance, it is widely used in the industry. The aim
of this paper is to highlight the use of software for simulating dissolution and modeling, and to emphasize
the advantages of using in silico methods for predicting drug behavior. By providing a more accurate

In today's digital age, the importance of proper citation cannot be overstated. Reference management
software has become a vital tool for professionals, students, and researchers seeking to streamline the
citation process. Nowadays manual referencing approach is not viable because of challenges like
duplication, as well as lack of harmonization of reference style and failure of keeping the record of citations
are matter of concern. One of the key advantages of reference management software is that it eliminates the
need for manual referencing, saving users significant amounts of time and effort. Additionally, these
software programs offer a range of benefits, including saving time and providing a secure database for
managing and storing citations, also these programs offer a variety of reference styles to accommodate the
requirements of different publications. Several commercially available reference management software
programs, such as Endnote, Mendeley, and Zotero, are designed to manage complex references in research
articles and other literature. However, there are differences in features, with Zotero offering open access
while the others require payment. Customer satisfaction is also a crucial factor that can influence user
preference. The aim of this paper is to provide viewers with a clear comparison of reference management
software programs and help them determine which one is best suited for their needs. This can be achieved
by comparing the pros and cons of each program and evaluating the company's approach to future updates.
By doing so, viewers can make an informed decision and choose the software that is most suitable for their
research requirements. Ultimately, the use of reference management software can help ensure accurate and
consistent citation, saving researchers valuable time and effort.

Uttarakhand, India-248001
Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system is a new and emerging technology that plays an important role
in novel drug delivery system. In the present time, people take drugs orally most of the time. Because of
their low bioavailability, it makes difficulty to oral administration because 40% of them are poorly soluble.
Developing oral formulations, the water solubility, oral bioavailability and physical stability are the
challenging points to the pharmaceutical scientists. If we have to avoid this problem, we do the
encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs in lipid system like liposomes and micelles which have hydrophilic
surface bilayer that interacts with the aqueous medium and a hydrophobic core that matches the
hydrophobic drug. Doing the development of self nanomulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) is
focused for poorly water-soluble drugs. For the development of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems
(SNEDDS), surfactants, co-surfactants, and solubility in the oil phase are considered important keys to
prevent phase separation and precipitation after dilution and for improved solubility and oral
bioavailability. When taken orally, SNEDDS forms an oil/water emulsion directly with gastric juice. The
main benefit of SNEDDS is, It decreases the particle size by which the medicine is made smaller is size!
Bioavailability is increased which helps medicine to make its good effect on body. It increases the bio-
stability and reduces the chances of reaction/side effects. Using SNEDDS products in dry powder form will
help overcome the limitations of liquid. SNEDDS are administered by different routes such as oral route,
ocular, transdermal, vaginal route.

Divyanshu *, Sayantan Mukhopadhyay
School of Pharmacy & Research, Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University, Manduwala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand

3D Printing was first developed by Charles Haul in 1984. 3D-printing oradditive manufacturing is a process
of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.3D Printing can play a significant role in
multiple active ingredient dosage forms, where theformulation can be as a single blend or multilayer printed
tablets with sustained releaseproperties. It is a process of creating an object using a machine that put down
the material layer-by-layer in three dimensions until the desired object is formed. It is also called as
rapidprototyping. The advantages of drug delivery in 3D Printing are the high drug loading abilitywhen
compared to the conventional dosage form and they accurate and precise dosing of potentdrug which are
administered at small doses. The current advancement in 3D Printing is ApreciaZip dose. This technology
uses an aqueous fluid to bind together multiple layers of powder usinga unique, patient- protected process
to create a wide range of products. The industrial growth of3D-printing will change the nature of commerce
because end users will be able to do much oftheir own manufacturing rather than engaging in trade to buy
products from other people andcorporations. Finally, the prospects of 3D Printing are achieved optimized
drug releaseprofiles and drug dosage form supporting delivery.

India

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that damages the optic nerve responsible for transmitting visual signals
from the eye to the brain and can lead to irreversible blindness. The condition is often associated with
increased intraocular pressure (IOP), and currently, 80 million people worldwide are affected by it. By
2040, this number is expected to increase to over 111 million. To address the challenges associated with
eye drop formulations, nanotechnology offers a potential solution to improve patient comfort and reduce
eye drop administration frequency. Nanoparticles can be engineered to encapsulate glaucoma drugs and
allow for controlled and sustained release of the medication over an extended period. In the past ten years,
clinical trials were conducted and chosen from clinicaltrials.gov, PubMed, and other databases to highlight
the importance of nanotechnology in translating clinical benefits to humans. The innovative approaches
include nanoparticle-based drug delivery, nanofabrication of implantable devices, and nanotechnology-
based neuroprotective strategies. These approaches have the potential to improve glaucoma management by
enhancing drug delivery, providing precise monitoring and therapeutic interventions, and protecting the
optic nerve from damage. Although no marketed nano-based products were found after an extensive
literature search. Ongoing research and clinical trials on several nano formulations, such as nanocrystals,
dendrimers, and nanogels, offer promising results. This emerging area holds great promise and scope of
nano formulation-based drug products, in near future, for the treatment of glaucoma.

For a few decades, COVID-19, a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus2) virus, has been responsible for a pandemic since March 2020 and it had no cure. Therefore,
now to overcome the risk of COVID-19, different theoretical methods were used to obtain potential
candidates from herbal compounds to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. COVID-19 can be eradicated
by not only targeting a site but also simultaneously using a multiple-target approach. Generally, there are
three routes for the transmission of covid-19 are aerosol transmission, droplet transmission, contact
transmission. A study of many infected patients found that the main transmission route of SARS-CoV-2 is
person-person contact. Some of the antiviral medicinal plant species are citrus Spp., orange (C. Sinensia)
Allium Sativum, Allium Cepa, Mentha Pipertia, and Nigella Sativaare the most desirable herbal drink or
fruit that can introduce effective adjuvant components in COVID-19 management. On top of exhibiting
direct antiviral effect, Herbal drugs with reported Anti-inflammatory activity may have significant roles in
COVID-19 treatment as the elevation of inflammatory indicators such as interleukin (IL)-6, erythrocytes
sedimentation rate (ESR) and C reactive protein (CRP) has been related to severe disease with worse
outcomes, most likely related to cytokine storm. This not only gave detailed knowledge regarding the
advancement in the field of herbal drugs but also gave an approach to how it is improving the COVID-19

Despite the well-known high incidence of failure in drug development, new developments in tissue
engineering and microfabrication have helped to create "organs-on-chips" or "microphysiological systems"
(MPS) that mimic the function of human. These "tissue chips" could be used for the safety and drug
screening tests, which could revolutionise the early stages of drug development. Additionally, they can be
utilised to simulate illness states, supplying new tools for deciphering disease pathologies and causes as
well as evaluating the efficacy of novel treatments. Future clinical trials-on-chips could be utilised to test
novel medicines in both populations and individuals, opening the door for precision medicine. Here, we'll
talk about tissue chips' diverse potential as well as the difficulties in developing them. In the future, they
may even serve as substitute human testing systems for new therapeutics, which would be especially
helpful for populations of people with rare diseases. They also have the potential to replace and improve the
use of animals in testing new medications and clinical treatments. The current state of tissue chip research
and its difficulties will be covered in this chapter. We will also go over how these devices are being used to
model the fundamental cell and molecular characteristics of rare disease, which has the potential to offer
new tools for comprehending disease pathologies as well as screening and efficacy testing of potential

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), be a multifaceted disorder that has an impact on a woman's
hormone levels, is distinguished by chronic ovulation and excessive ovarian activity. Ovarian dormancy or
primary insufficiency is other causes of ovulation. PCOS symptoms include polycystic ovaries syndrome,
hyperandrogenism, and infertility. It will increase the likelihood of developing diabetes mellitus type 2,
insulin resistance, and obesity, cardiovascular diseases. PCOS is associated withchronic low-grade
inflammation, and women with PCOS syndrome are more likely to developing non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease. Women with PCOS syndrome have higher levels of male hormones than usual. Because of this
hormonal imbalance, it is more difficult for them to become pregnant, and their bodies miss menstruation
cycles. The treatment plan must be tailored to the patient. Letrozole appears to be beneficial and more
effective than the standard treatment, clomiphene citrate, and may help patients recover through lifestyle
changes and herbal drugs.

Peptide bonds hold the amino acid sequence that makes up proteins together. Since drug receptors are
protein-based, it is possible to predict the structure and function of a drug by learning about proteins using
computers. Several techniques have developed in the last few years for designing and predicting protein
structures. Due to the rapid expansion of protein structure databases (PDB) or numerous software, protein
structure prediction technology is constantly evolving. To generate new types of drugs with improved
properties such as greater affinity between the drug and the receptor, improved effectiveness and
performance of the drug, and the drug exhibiting advanced therapeutic activities, new ideas have been used
to map out protein-protein inter-connections. Template-based modelling and template-free modelling are
the two primary methods implemented to design a desired protein's structure. In template-based modelling,
the target protein's undefined structure is created using previously identified drugs whose structures are
already known. Additionally, without using protein structure databases, template-free modelling allows for
the creation of new targets with sophisticated features. Template free modelling does not depend on the
previously determined structure of proteins. Protein structure prediction can also be done by using X-ray
crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Hence it was concluded that the protein structure
prediction by using these techniques had found beneficial for the determination of functions of a protein so
that desired drug may be developed.

The main aim of the present research work was to study process validation of Rosuvastatin tablet. It can
really be ensured that the final end product is of the highest quality, if each step of the manufacturing
process is validated. Validation is best considered as an essential component of cGMP. As a result,
validation is indeed one of the elements of quality assurance programmes linked with a particular specified
process. Quality is not achieved simply through finished product testing and in-process monitoring, it must
be integrated throughout the manufacturing process. So, focusing on building the quality necessitates
particular focus to a few variables such as material selection, process design, control variables, in-process
control, and finished product testing. In this study, three consecutive batches (A, B, and C) of Rosuvastatin
tablets with the same batch size were used. The critical parameters that are involved in “sifting, dry mixing,
granulation, drying, lubrication, and compression stages” were discovered and analyzed. The results of this
process validation data provide a higher level of confidence that the manufacturing process delivers
products that meets its specified standards and quality attributes. This also offers documentary evidence for
the operational sequence of the manufacturing process and determining the critical parameters and variables
in the tablet production process. The result of process validation could be utilized to boost the efficiency,
ensure consistency in overall quality, and thus eliminating market complaints.

Drugs can be delivered locally as well as systemically through the colon. Inflammatory bowel disease can
be treated topically with local delivery.However, drugs that are directed directly into the colon can reduce
systemic side effects and make treatment more effective.Applying thicker layers of conventional enteric
coatings or extremely slow-releasing matrices to achieve slower release rates or longer release periods is the
easiest way to target drugs to the colon.Colon-specific drug delivery systems are beneficial for the
treatment of a number of local diseases like ulcerative colitis, Cohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome,
chronic pancreatitis, and colonic cancer. These methods include the utilization of detailing parts that
cooperate with at least one part of gastrointestinal physiology, like the variation in pH along the GI lot, the
event of colonic micro flora, and compounds, to accomplish colon focusing. Colon designated drug
conveyance framework can be used to convey protein and peptide drugs as they are known to debase in the
super gastric pH. This article discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and influences of colon-specific drug
delivery. The review also discusses several different older and newer formulation strategies that are
currently being used to improve Colon-specific drug delivery systems.The targeted drug delivery system for
the colon is especially important for the systemic delivery of protein and peptide drugs. It is also crucial for

Non-alcoholic fatty liver infection (NAFLD) is the most well-known long-term liver disease. NAFLD is
like increased liver-related morbidity and mortality, but it also includes CVS disease, diabetes, and non-
liver-related risk. A severe form of NAFLD called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is to blame for
most negative effects. Living style Change and weight loss can help with NASH, but they don't happen
often enough, and it's difficult to get results that can be proven. There is hence a real need for
(pharmacological) care. In this overview, we look at some of the suggestions and challenges for enhancing
pharmaceutical consideration. In fact, briefly summarise how some of the medications that are currently
available for a variety of yet have demonstrated assurance in the management of NASH side effects.
Finally, we briefly outline the key drugs/types of pharmaceuticals, mostly based on their component of
activity, that are currently being developed specifically to treat NASH and that may eventually lead to the
availability of medications approved for non-alcoholic fatty liver steatohepatitis.

A device that delivers medication to the lungs in the form of a dry powder is known as a dry powder inhaler
(DPI). DPIs are frequently used to treat respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, and bronchitis. Interest
in DPI as a productive and harmless to the ecosystem approach to conveying medications to the lung has
advanced rapidly lately. A dry powder inhaler can only accomplish these objectives if the powder
formulation is appropriate, the metering system is effective, and the device is carefully chosen. It is
essentially grouped into three classes: Nebulizer, pMDI, DPI. DPIs are an option in contrast to pMDI that
conveys prescription to the lungs as a dry powder. The API's particle size must be between 1 and 10
micrometres to ensure that the patient receives the same dose at different airflow rates every time. There are
four distinct formulation strategies for DPI, including: Drug carrier, drug additive, drug carrier, and drug
carrier free "Twin Stage Impingner" completed the lung deposition study. The internal breath device is
basic in achieving good transport of taken in medicine to lung which essentially assembled considering
estimations sort into single-unit and multi-measurements stores. A few techniques can be utilized to decide
if adequate item has been set into every holder. The tared cans that have been positioned on the filling line
are weighed once more, and the weight difference is equal to the net contents. The other approach is
destructive and involves dispersing the contents of a full container after weighing it.

Gaurav Joshi
Uttaranchal Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Uttaranchal University, Premnagar, Dehradun, 248001, Uttarakhand

A drug used to treat fungal infections is ketoconazole. An antifungal medication called ketoconazole has
poor solubility, causes gastrointestinal discomfort, and has a first-pass impact. It is employed to treat fungal
skin infections (yeast). Also, it can keep them from returning. It addresses a variety of fungus infections,
including athlete's foot. Ketoconazole is no longer advised as a first-line antifungal agent since it is a well-
documented cause of clinically obvious acute drug-induced liver impairment. As an alternative to
traditional oral or injectable routes, the utilization of the transdermal delivery system has lately received
widespread recognition due to its capacity to transfer drug molecules over the skin membrane.So, in the
current work, it was originally created as nanoparticles to aid in absorption, and later on, promising
nanoparticles were used to construct nanoparticle-loaded transdermal patches.So, in the current study, it
was first manufactured as nanoparticles to aid in absorption, and later, promising nanoparticles were used to
construct nanoparticle-loaded transdermal patches Transdermal methods also have the advantage of
avoiding the first-pass hepatic metabolism that occurs when medicines are taken orally. There is less need
for repeated doses or applications of medication when drug formulations and concentrations are adjusted to
regulate drug release into the body over extended periods. Drugs may be effectively made available
throughout the body with TDDS. Transdermal patches are cutting-edge medication delivery methods that
are applied to the skin to produce systemic effects. The use of the TDDS system has various clinical
advantages over alternative methods. It offers a reliable medication release, keeps blood levels stable,
which might lessen systemic adverse effects, is easy, user-friendly, and helps to increase patient acceptance.
A drug's steady absorption over an extended length of time removes the need for frequent dosage, which
improves patient compliance. Ketoconazole transdermal patch formulated with nanoparticle loading can be
utilized effectively as a carrier to improve transdermal penetration and absorption.

Liposomes are an effective drug delivery mechanism for several medications since they are nontoxic and
biodegradable. Additionally, because liposomes allow radiotracers to be attached to numerous sites, they
might be utilised to transport radioactive substances. A variety of drug delivery systems (DDS) have been
used to deliver drugs to the right locations while also extending the period that some molecules circulate in
the bloodstream. The drug carrier based on liposomes is one such system. Self-assembling vesicles called
liposomes are made of a lipid bilayer that creates a tight shell around an interior aqueous phase. Liposomes
are used as drug carriers in drug delivery systems because they are biodegradable and essentially non-toxic
vehicles that can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules. Different mechanisms for drug
release from the liposomal action, as well as different techniques for directing the liposomes to a particular
region, are used. It is a drug delivery system that is packed with a wide range of molecules, including
proteins, nucleotides, plasmids, and tiny drug molecules. Anti-tumour medications and antifungal
treatments have both been commercialised in liposomal form to date. The numerous liposome preparation
techniques, characterization, recent advancements, and applications are the main topics of this review.

One of the deadliest cancers with an extremely low survival rate is pancreatic cancer. Although, over the
years the treatment for cancer has advanced so much, like the treatment for breast cancer, leukemia
however the treatment for pancreatic cancer hasn’t progressed. Some risk factors for pancreatic cancer may
be because of cigarette smoking, obesity, diet high in fat and meat etc. Pancreatic cancer response to most
of the chemotherapeutic agents are very poor. Through the advancement of nanotechnology platforms,
notable attempts have been undertaken in recent years to increase the efficacy and bioavailability of
medications and pharmaceuticals. Though there hasn’t been much progress in the treatment of pancreatic
cancer, new methods are still being investigated. Nanoparticles can be functionalized with antibodies or
aptamers to focus on the treatment solely on the malignant cells and prevent it from being endocytosed by
healthy cells, which is a critical function of nanoparticles in biomedicine. The majority of cancer cells are
the target once the patient receives the nanoparticles. Due to their potential as chemotherapeutic drug
delivery system, iron oxide nanoparticle has received a lot of attention. Inorganic nanoparticles seem to be
unique material for biological applications because of their distinctive magnetic, electrical, optical and
electrochemical capabilities. The high level of toxicity has a specific impact on the utilization of inorganic
nanoparticles for cancer therapy.

A time-consuming stage in drug screening is selecting between natural and synthetic chemicals for advance
information in new pharmaceutical formulations. To solve this issue, new technologies such as biosensors
are currently demonstrating their versatility and ability for regular clinical diagnosis.The development of
useful biosensors with use in clinical monitoring and disease detection has been speed up by the demand for
quick, cheap, portable, easy screening procedures. The building of biosensors has made use of proteins as
signal molecules. Biosensors depending on the linking of proteins to amperometric and optical sensors have
demonstrated the necessary selectivity, responsiveness, and accuracy when used to carry out analysis of the
data for the detection of a specific analyteHospitals may use enzyme-based biosensors for bedside drug
testing, emergency control, and patient treatment control, particularly in the treatment of cancer. These
devices can include a variety of microelectronic sensors and biosensors for multiparametric monitoring that
are sensitive to things like pH, conductivity, temperature, etc. The biosensors have also integrated in several
functional nanostructures. The most recent developments in customised biosensors, such as surface
plasmon resonance, fluorescence, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemical systems, with a focus on their
workings and uses in drug testing, efficacy assessment, and toxicity evaluation. As a result, we can build
biosensor which are smaller, more reliable biosensors with lower detection thresholds and significantly
fewer sample volume requirements have been created. Recent advances in microdevices hold the prospect
of streamlining pharmacokinetic investigations and bringing therapeutic medication monitoring to the

Among patients who receive polymedicine, the prevalence of drug-related disorders (DRP) has resulted in
substantial health risks and financial costs. Although the evidence is weak, effective CPP (clinical
pharmacist and physician) communication significantly reduces DRPs.Communication between doctors and
patients, as well as their knowledge and individual skill, are crucial components of health care. It makes it
easier for the doctor to collect patient data for diagnosis, a better course of treatment, and good medication
adherence. One of the most frequent issues in public health care is the physician-patient communication
gap, which can result in anything from a simple misunderstanding to death. Drug-related problems (DRP)
decreased medication adherence, an increase in adverse drug events, an increase in morbidity and mortality,
and increased medical costs are just a few of the health issues that can arise from poor communication. The
first point of contact with patients in the community and the health professional best suited to bridge the
communication gap between doctors and patients is the pharmacist. Since pharmacists are the primary
subject matter experts for drug information services, they offer accurate and thorough drug-related
information to patients as well as to other healthcare professionals. Through patient counselling and
education, they play a crucial role in the management of chronic diseases, the reduction of drug-related

The field of nasal drug delivery has gained significant attention in recent years due to its numerous
advantages over other drug delivery routes. Muco-adhesion, which refers to the ability of a material to
adhere to mucus, is a critical factor in enhancing the efficacy of nasal drug delivery. Muco-adhesive drug
delivery systems can improve drug residence time, increase absorption, and reduce the frequency of drug
administration. Maximizing the power of muco-adhesion in nasal drug delivery involves designing and

developing muco-adhesive drug delivery systems that can effectively interact with nasal mucosa. Several
factors, such as surface energy, molecular weight, and the type of polymer used, can influence the muco-
adhesive properties of drug delivery systems. Understanding the relationship between these factors and
muco-adhesive properties is crucial in optimizing nasal drug delivery. Nasal drug delivery is a promising
route for delivering various drugs, including peptides, proteins, and vaccines. However, the nasal mucosa
presents numerous barriers to drug absorption, such as mucociliary clearance and enzymatic degradation.
Therefore, developing muco-adhesive drug delivery systems that can overcome these barriers is essential to
improve drug efficacy. In conclusion, maximizing the power of muco-adhesion in nasal drug delivery is a
critical factor in enhancing drug efficacy.

Introduced are the moves toward making a recombinant DNA particle, instances of recombinant medication
items, a portrayal of DNA fingerprinting strategies for diagnosing infections, a conversation of the
protecting of recombinant medications, and a plan for this progressive biotechnology. Building a
recombinant DNA particle includes cutting the DNA into sections with limitation endonucleases and re-
joining the pieces in original game plans with ligase. Proliferating the particle in a microorganism, or
cloning, is important to expand the quantity of quality duplicates to work with identification of the quality
of interest and to create the protein it encodes. Recombinant DNA drug items have been fostered that
address the communicator, underlying, and modifier classes of proteins. Recombinant communicator
proteins incorporate interferons alfa-2a and alfa-2b and granulocyte-macrophage province invigorating
component (invulnerable framework modulators); epidermal development element and erythropoietin
(tissue fix advertisers); and human insulin, development chemical, and atrial peptide (digestion
modulators). Recombinant underlying proteins incorporate hepatitis B infection antibody and CD4 protein,
and recombinant modifier proteins incorporate tissue plasminogen activator and superoxide dismutase
(specialists that split or graft natural atoms). Later on, quality deformities related with hereditary sicknesses
will be unwound, prompting the development of new restorative specialists intended to check or really
invert those imperfections. Recombinant protein medications will be additionally custom-made to upgrade
their action and particularity. These advances are so novel and earth shattering that patent security has been
stretched out not exclusively to recombinant medications however to the recombinant microorganisms
wherein they are fabricated. In cloning qualities, examiners straightforwardly utilize the protein plans that
happen normally. Fundamental exploration will before long prompt the designing of novel proteins with
determined capabilities.

Alzheimer is a progressive cognitive condition with significant loss of neuronal functions, formation of
amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangles. Gamma secretase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE),
butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and GSK-3beta enzymes regulated the progression of Alzheimer disease.
HDAC6 enzyme also improved the axonal activity. In this manuscript, we repurposed the role of HDAC
inhibitors [HDACi(s)] towards the treatment of Alzheimer disease by inhibiting gamma secretase (6LQG),
AChE (7AIT), BuChE (6QAE) and GSK-3beta (3GB2) enzymes. Here we considered 60 HDACI then
filtered out 16 molecules using SWISS-ADME parameters. Docking score of Analog 45 and Analog 57
against 6LQG, 7AIT, 6QAE and 3GB2 were (-) 9.7 kcal/mol, (-) 13.5 kcal/mol, (-) 11.2 kcal/mol, (-) 9.7
kcal/mol and (-) 7.4 kcal/mol, (-) 11.5 kcal/mol, (-) 9.5 kcal/mol, (-) 7.8 kcal/mol respectively; whereas
rivastigmine showed docking score of (-) 5.3 kcal/mol, (-) 8.0 kcal/mol, (-) 7.2 kcal/mol, (-) 6.1 kcal/mol.
Based on docking score, we selected (E)-N-(2-amino-4-fluorophenyl)-3-(1-cinnamyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-
yl)acrylamide (Analog 45), N-methyl-4-((3-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)-1H-indol-1-yl)methyl)benzamide
(Analog 57) and rivastigmine for further studies. Then we performed OSIRIS-MOLINPIRATION profiling
to observe the most effective and low toxic molecule. Analog 57 passed the criteria. Finally we performed
FMO and EPS analyses using (B3LYP) 6-311G+(d,p) to observe the electronic nature of the molecule.
HOMO orbital localized on indole nucleus and LUMO orbital localized on N-methyl benzamide group.EPS
analysis data showed that nitrogen atoms of pyrrolidine and indole [3-[(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]-1H-indole

Hypertension and type 2 diabetes are common comorbidities. Hypertension usually occurs to patients with
diabetes compared with those who do not have diabetes. Patients with hypertension have greater
probabilities of developing diabetes. The major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes is
cardiovascular disease, which is aggravated by hypertension. Diabetes and hypertension are closely
interlinked because of their similar risk factors such as endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation,
arterial remodelling, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, and obesity. There are health risks and complications
associated with type 2 diabetes when it isn’t diagnosed and treated in time which include eye damage, heart
disease and stroke, high blood pressure, kidney disease, mental health diseases and nerve damage &
amputation. There is no cure for type 2 diabetes, but it may be possible to reverse the condition to a point
where you do not need medication to manage it by controlling blood sugar through diet, oral medication, or
insulin injection. Insulin injections is often required for type 2 diabetes patients. This is delivered through a

Hypertension is considered a high blood pressure condition when systolic pressure is 140 mm Hg or more
and diastolic pressure is approx. 80 to 90 mm Hg. Today hypertension is one of the popular cardiovascular
diseases which affect mankind in mass all over the world. However, there are a surplus amount of oral
antihypertensive drugs are available in the market, still, the management of disease with oral therapy is
associated with various critical GI side effects and requires long term treatment. Apart from this
conventional delivery system also suffers from extensive first pass metabolism and poor patient
compliance. Hence there is an urge to develop such a type of delivery system that not only effectively
deliver the drugs with improved bioavailability but also bypass the obstacles of the conventional delivery
system. In this context, the topical delivery system shows an eminent pathway by enhancing drug delivery
through the skin and avoiding first pass metabolism. But the use of chemical enhancers restricts its utility,
therefore it is desirable to prepare a topical delivery system by replacing the adversity of chemical enhancer
with some novel methodology. Nanocarriers are proved to be a promising alternative, the smaller particle
size leads to increased drug permeability, improved stability and bioavailability, and thus better patient

Development of unnatural amino acids (UAA’s): A trendy scaffold for innovative
pharmaceutical research
Rupali Joshi*, Gurjeet, Ajay Singh Bisht
Himalayan Institute of Pharmacy & Research, Dehradun-248007, Uttarakhand, India

Unnatural amino acids synthesis is a region of research that has gained a lot of interest in modern years.
The accessibility of different synthetic routes for new unnatural amino acid derivatives and related
compounds will be a critical point in the designing of novel molecules that impersonate the conformation of
the natural, active peptides. These molecules (peptidomimetics) are specially designed to show the high
receptor affinity and selectivity with enhanced bioavailability and metabolic stability of the drug molecule.
Thus, this study focuses on detailed synthetic methods and analogues leading to synthesize variety of
unnatural amino acids including various schemes that includes enantioselective synthesis and microwave-
assisted synthesis also. Development of new methods for the synthesis is currently attracting the organic
chemists due to the discovery of many chemical entities with their varied biological activities. As it is
already known, amino acids are the important biological molecules. They are the building blocks of
proteins, and the twenty proteogenic L-amino acids (exception of glycine) are ubiquitous to all living
organisms on earth.Unnatural amino acid (D-amino acids or amino acids with non-natural side chains) and
their polymers that contain β- and γ-amino acids are known as "foldamers." These foldamers form long-
lasting, predictable structures that are very stable and resistant to proteolytic degradation. They can be
designed to interact with specific targets and have applications in medicine, materials and general
healthcare.Unnatural amino acids are of particularly interest for drug development and drug optimization.
So there is growing interest for the synthesis of various unnatural amino acids and their derivatives as new
medicines and other pharmaceuticals. Various organic chemist and researchers were developing different
protocols but still there is a great need of a drug candidate which is more effective and more selective.
Current study summarized various synthetic methods and procedures and their pharmaceutical uses. All
mentioned research shows a remarkable creativity of those procedures and also involved in the design of
novel unnatural amino acid and their derivatives. Without any doubt, it can be concluded that novel
synthetic methodologies to construct various unnatural amino acids will continue to provide new ways for

Loganiaceae, and Verbenaceae families. They come from the biosynthesis of 8-oxogeranial and are
normally present in plants as glycosides, frequently linked to glucose. Iridoids are bicyclic cis-fused
cyclopentano pyrans from a structural perspective. Oleuropein and amarogentin are examples of
secoiridoids, which are created when a bond in the cyclopentane ring is broken. These are the components,
usually found in the fresh leaves and juvenile stems of plants, but sometimes rarely in the fruits and sprouts,
that belong to the broad and extended class of cyclopentane pyran monoterpenes. Iridoids' metabolites are a
topic of interest to researchers due to their versatile spectrum of biological activities like neuroprotective,
hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypoglycaemic, and hypolipidemic activities along with
advantages like offering a fresh approach for the creation of new drugs and research focusing on. In order
for a rational consumer of information to be useful in the creation of therapeutic options, the present
review's goal is to give extensive information about iridoids and its biological activity.

Kushwaha Amit*, Kapoor Bhawana, Kala Shivani
Maya College of Pharmacy, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India

Curcuma Caesia commonly known as black turmeric is one of the rare perennial herbs that is now a day
widely being exploited by the researchers for its therapeutic benefits or pharmaceutical applications. It is
native to northeastern and central India where it is used for numerous medicinal purposes. Its medicinal
properties come from different parts of its plant such as rhizomes, leaves, roots, inflorescence, and flowers.
Various active constituents present in the plant like alkaloids, terpenes, glycosides, steroids, volatile oils,
proteins, carbohydrates, anthraquinones contribute to its broad-spectrum biological activities including
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, antitumoral, wound healing, antibacterial, analgesic,
antifungal and anti-angiogensis effects etc. In recent studies by researchers, pharmaceutical use of these
therapeutic benefits of black turmeric mainly involves the formulations for topical drug delivery mainly
using its rhizomatous extract. Topical gel formulation is gaining more attention due to its better application
property and stability in comparison to other topical preparations like creams and ointments. Use of nano
system based approach in topical formulations of curcuma can further aid in its percutaneous absorption.
Studies suggest that novel system based topical formulations of Curcuma Caesiacan contribute greatly to
the treatment of various skin ailments such as fungal infection, eczema, atopic dermatitis etc.

Asthma and COPD are persistent respiratory diseases that affect large numbers of people around the world.
These infections require drivers to use medications carried in inhalers, such as pMDI(compressed metered
dose inhaler) and DPI (dry powder inhaler) inhalers. However, the suitability of these inhalers often
depends on legal handling and use. Misuse of these inhalers can lead to f aulty prescription delivery and
poor treatment results. Common mistakes in handling these inhalers include not shaking the pMDI before

use, not preparing it, performing an incorrect inhalation procedure, not cleaning the inhaler regularly and
use a n expired inhaler. Failure to shake pMDI before use can lead to a dosing conflict, as can failure to
prepare it. The wrong inhaler strategy can lead to improper drug delivery to the lungs, and failure to
consistently clean inhalers can lead to discoloration and reduced prescription fit. Similarly, the use of
expired inhalers can lead to faulty delivery of the drug. Misuse of pMDI and DPI inhalers can lead to
devastating side effects, prolonged hospital stays and decreased personal satisfaction in patients with
asthma and COPD. Patients should be legally prepared for the most effective method of using an inhaler
and should follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Healthcare providers should educate patients
about the importance of legal care and use of inhale rs and should screen patients for inhaler use to ensure
compliance and availability. Together, the legal handling and use of pMDI and DPI inhalers are essential to
viable treatment of asthma and COPD. Healthcare providers should provide patients with intensive training
in the p roper use of the inhaler and should monitor their use of the inhaler to ensure compliance and
appropriateness. Patients should also be aware of common mistakes when using the inhaler and shou ld do
everything possible to avoid these mistakes to ensure optimal treatment results.

Pharmaceutical corporations and chemical experts’ priorities research in the area of drug development and
design. However, there are barriers and difficulties that affect medication design and development due to
low efficacy, off-target delivery, time requirements, and high cost. Microarray data, proteomics, and
genomics put a stumbling block in the drug discovery process. Although image recognition and other fields
have greatly benefited from another disruptive technology artificial intelligence (AI), such developments in
drug discovery are uncommon. The use of artificial intelligence in pharmaceutical technology has grown
over time, and it may help save time and money while also improving our understanding of the connections
between various formulations and process parameters. A subfield of computer science called artificial
intelligence deals with the use of symbolic programming to solve problems. To make the pharmaceutical
profession more effective, numerous studies are being conducted to enhance the currently available AI
technologies. The role of AI in the drug development process is briefly discussed in the current article,
which then examines the numerous AI tools at the disposal of contemporary pharmacists to help with more
effective operation.

emergency. According to the World Health Organization, the first symptoms of monkeypox were identified
in 9-month-old boys. The symptoms of monkey pox can be measured in two-way, Invasion Prior Period
and Skin rash period. Invasive Prior occurs in about 6 to 13 days. It is the phase in which that the virus
raises your body temperature to the optimum level with each beat of your body. The time to start cavitation
is 5 days, and our body will have high fever, cold, body pain, heat week ness severe rashes appear on the
body in 2- 3 days. The rash comes first on our face, it effects 95% of the face, and it affect up to 75% of the
hands and legs then affect 70% of the membrane inside the mouth, it is so dangerous that in 20% of case it
effect the cornea and conjunctiva of the eye. monkey pox virus is spread by airborne and droplets, monkey
pox can be passed from man to man from animal to man even if you meet an infected person. There is no
exact cure for chickenpox. Most infections range from mild to severe. Treatment is usually systemic,
including antibiotics and pain relievers to control pain. A person who has been vaccinated against smallpox
in previous doses is five times safer than someone who has not been vaccinated against smallpox.

Microbial invasion of the nail bed, nails plate, or maybe both are known as onychomycosis. Many kinds
may trigger onychomycosis, but the pathogens of the group Trichophyton have become particularly
common. Candida is one of the additional organisms, and it is more typical with fingertip infections.
Normally, the cuticles are misshapen and have white or yellow discoloration. Onychomycosis health
condition involves toenail fungus, a tendency of nail fibrosis, greater age, exposure to just a participant who
has onychomycosis/tinea pedis, diabetes or peripheral vascular conditions, and immunocompromise.The
diagnosis may be made by damp mounts, subculture, polymerase chain response, or a combination of each
of these techniques. When necessary, oral itraconazole or oral terbinafine are used as treatments. They
provide much higher cure rates, shorter treatment plans, and fewer adverse events than in the past.
Terbinafine has a cure rate of between 70 and 80 percent with an extremely good tolerance character,
making it even more beneficial than griseofulvin, fluconazole, and even itraconazole at controlling this
illness. The most economical agent is terbinafine. Nonetheless, a few problems still exist that will pose
difficulties in treating onychomycosis in the future, not even the smallest of which is the 20% likelihood of
persistent treatment failure. To maximize the chances of a clinical and mycological cure in a number ofsuch
instances, surgery might have to come before pharmacological therapy. Also, the period of therapy must be
better tailored to each individual instance by early detection.

Comprehensive review on the medicinal plant of northeast region of INDIA
(Solanum torvum)
Himanko Gogoi, Sanskriti Rai
Uttaranchal Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Uttaranchal University
himankogogoi@gmail.com,

The Northeast region of India i.e., Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram,
Sikkim, and Tripura are known for their rich fauna and containing enormous amounts of both discovered
and undiscovered plants that possess immense medicinal values and could be of very much use to the
healthcare and pharmacy globally. For all major types of illnesses prevalent in this area, the traditional
medical system is crucial and even the Rigveda and the Atharvaveda both mention how these ancient
medicinal treatments have been working wonders for the local and indigenous tribes from times
immemorial. This is also owing to the fact that the traditional medicinal plant extracts are the only source of
basic healthcare for them. One important medicinal source is the fruits of Solanum torvum (or Turkeyberry)
that are regularly used in North-East Indian food preparations as they are very nutritious and rich in iron.
According to clinical tests conducted on these berries, its contents were determined as Iron (76.869mg/kg),
Manganese (19.466 mg/kg), Copper (2.642mg/kg) and Zinc (21.460mg/kg). It was also found to contain
Vitamin A (0.078mg/100g) and Vitamin C(2.686mg/100g) respectively. As such, these berries may be used
as a haematinic in order to treat anaemia. They also show antioxidant properties due to the presence ofgallic
acid and ferulic acid. In spite of this, no such formulations are being made from these berries that could be
taken by pediatric,geriatric or pregnant women (as they are more prone to iron deficiency) without any
problem. If Solanum torvum berries were formulated in the form of candies, they could be easily available
in the market and show positive effects on women.

Formulation and Evaluation of Floating Microsponges for ODDS
Rohit Sharma*
Himalayan Institute of Pharmacy &Research, Dehradun, Uttarakhand-248007

Oral route is most preferable route of drug delivery due to easy administration, flexibility in formulation,
low cost and patient compliance. Oral controlled release drug delivery system shows some restriction
associated with gastric emptying time. Too rapid and variable gastric emptying could result in inadequate
drug release from dosage form into absorption window leading to low efficacy of administered
dose.Controlled release drug delivery system (CRDDS) provides drug release at a expectable,
predetermined and controlled rate. CDDS is capable to maintain optimum drug concentration in the body
for extended time period, increase activity of duration for short half‐life drugs, reduced dosing frequency,
reduced side effects and drug wastage and better patient compliance. This system is able to improve gastric
residence time, thus improve drug solubility, minimize drug wastage and improve bioavailability. Floating
drug delivery system has application for local drug deliveries to the stomach.Microsponges are small
sponge like micron size spherical units and contain active pharmaceutical ingredient. Microsponges consist

of an innumerable of interconnecting voids within a non-collapsible structure with a large porous


surface.Microsponges drug delivery system provides controlled release of active ingredients, it offers
various advantages over other technology like improved product stability, reduced side effects, increased
elegance and increased formulation flexibility.Microsponges are mostly used for topical administration and
recently for oral administration also. They can be combined in to conventional dosages forms like
ointments, creams, lotions, gels, tablets and powder and provide broad package of benefits and thus provide
formulation flexibility. Microsponges are ranging from 5-150 μm.

Dorzolamide hydrochloride for the treatment of Glaucoma
Mohini Rawat*, G. Gnanarajan
Research Scholar, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Patel nagar,
Dehradun (Uttarakhand) India (248001)
Liposomes is the most common and well-designed nano-carriers for drug targeting delivery. They
have improved therapies for a range of biomedical applications by the help of stabilization
therapeutic compounds, to overcome obstacles to cellular and tissue up-take, and improve bio-
distribution of drug to target sites in vivo. The drug is released from liposomes embedded in-situ
oculargel through diffusion technique. The main objective for this drug delivery system was to
improve bioavailability and enhance the contact resistance time of drug in the eye. Liposomes
were successfully prepared by Reverse phase evaporation technique, and evaluated for
morphology, particle size, entrapment efficiency, zeta- potential, polydispersity-index, drug
content. The invitro studies shows that this dosage form holds great promise for drug release. As a
result, liposomes design showed nearly spherical vesicles. The EE % and DC % could reach up to
88.9% and 92.1% respectively. In vitro release studies show a lipid concentration increase
prolong release of drug from liposomes. Melting point evaluation, IR scan and UV scan of
dorzolamide sample was performed. From the result of above studies, it is concluded that the drug
is dorzolamide. After performing the preformulation study it is found the drug is stable in all ph. In
analytical studies calibration curve of dorzolamide was performed in phosphate buffer pH 5.6, pH
7.4 and pH 6.8. On the basis of study, it was concluded that standard plot was suitable for use in
further analytical studies. Batches of liposomes shows incorporation efficiency increased with
increase in concentration of polymer. Surface of prepared liposomes was characterized with the
help of scanning electron microscopic method.

(HPTLC). HPTLC is an advanced versatile chromatographic technique for quantitative analyses


with high sample throughout and is complementary to HPLC/GLC. It provides a chromatographic
drug fingerprint. It is therefore suitable for monitoring the identity and purity of drugs. The
HPTLC technique in standardization is required for quantification of marker components by area
under curve, determination of the accurate RF values for the marker components, determination of
the purity of the substance (peak purity) and determination of the absorption maxima of the
substance. Since the plant contains various volatile and non-volatile components so paper
advocates the quantitative study using hexane extract. Acorus calamus Linn. is a well known
medicinal plant in traditional medical systems having various ethno-pharmacological uses. As the
official source of the plant is roots and rhizomes, but here study had been done comparatively with
leaves. Previously leaves of Acorus calamus were not regarded as useful part of plant, but recently
there is growing interest in leaves of the said plant. The leaves are considered to possess various
activities such as an insect repellent, when cut up and kept with grain storage; anti-hyperlipidemic;
anti-diabetic; antipsychotic; anti-inflammatory and analgesic. As there is no detailed work reported
in leaf constituents of the plant, therefore the study revealed specific quantitative HPTLC data for
the plant for future standardization work. HPTLC analysis of both leaves and rhizomes showed the
presence of Asarone, β- sitosterol, lupeol and Ursolic acid when matched with marker compounds.
Antimicrobial activity was also performed using ethanolic extract through cold percolation method
against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherischia coli and Salmonella typhi.
The extract was foud to have positive results against all.

Uttarakhand-248007
Oral drug delivery is the most widely utilized route of administration among all the routes [nasal,
ophthalmic, rectal, transdermal and Parental routes] that have been explored for systemic delivery
of drugs via pharmaceutical products of different dosage form. Oral route is considered most
natural, uncomplicated, convenient and safe [in respect to Parenteral route] due to its ease of
administration, patient acceptance, and cost-effective manufacturing process 1. Oral route is the
oldest and most convenient route for the administration of therapeutic agents because of low cost
of therapy and ease of administration leads to higher level of patient compliance. Approximately
50% of the drug products available in the market are administered orally and historically, oral drug
administration has been the predominant route for drug delivery. Tablets are the most popular oral
formulations available in the market and are preferred by patients and physicians alike. In long
term therapy for the treatment of chronic disease conditions, conventional formulations are
required to be administered in multiple doses and therefore have several disadvantages. Sustained
release formulations are preferred for such therapy because they maintain uniform drug levels,
reduce dose and side effects, better patient compliance, and increase safety margin for high
potency drugs2. A tablet consists of one or more drugs (active ingredients) as well as a series of
other substances used in the formulation of a complete preparation. Dosage forms that can be

improve the controlled delivery of drugs that have an absorption window by continuously
releasing the drug for a prolonged period of time before it reaches its absorption site thus ensuring
its optimal bioavailability. The approaches are used to increase the retention of an oral dosage

Awareness of Intellectual Property Rights among different Universities of INDIA
Ritesh Jha, Pallavi Ghilidiyal
Uttaranchal Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Uttaranchal University, Dehradun

Since almost 150 years ago, the word "intellectual property" has been used to denote the broad area of law
that includes copyright, patents, designs, and trademarks, as well as a number of related rights. In order to
maximize the commercial value of IP, it is crucial to protect it. The purpose of this research is to evaluate
and comprehend the level of intellectual property rights (IPR) knowledge among Indian academics.
Intellectual property rights are currently a prevalent topic of study across all academic fields. Not just for
attorneys, judges, and law students, but also for engineers, scientists, artists, technicians, farmers, and
researchers, it is crucial. Intellectual property is seen as a representation of national wealth that can help the
countries economic grow. However, a nation's intellectual property system will either succeed or fail
largely based on how well-informed the populace is. A descriptive research was carried out to determine
how familiar students were with the idea of IPR Law and to offer potential solutions for its avoidance. The
study's goals were to assess the researcher's level of familiarity with the idea of intellectual property rights,
laws defending them, knowledge of particular IPRs, and the impact of those laws, as well as to propose
potential measures to stop the unauthorized use of IPRs. The study focuses on three key areas: the level of
IP awareness among Indian academics, whether current IP knowledge is useful for commercialization, and
whether Indian academics' current IP knowledge is enough to support their careers and bring in money from
their inventions.
