Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) involve progressive neural breakdown and cell loss, culminating in neuronal death. The brain is susceptible to various forms of stress, particularly oxidative stress (OS) caused by the body's oxygen requirements and utilization. The vulnerability of the brain is heightened by the significant presence of unsaturated fatty acids. To gain accurate insights into NDD, various factors such as genetics and environmental risks must be considered, as they can reduce the effectiveness of therapies for NDDs. Addressing oxidative damage and discovering safe and efficient treatments for NDDs are crucial objectives. In this pursuit, bioactive compounds play a vital role in research. Among these compounds, natural elements such as carotenoids, essential oils, essential fatty acids, polyphenols, and phytosterols are captivating due to their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory traits. These qualities hold the potential for enhancing brain health. This review centers on assessing how these bioactive compounds can bolster the brain's limited antioxidant and regenerative abilities, foster neurogenesis, offer neuroprotection, and mitigate NDDs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100682,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Pharmacy","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 102-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949866X23000825/pdfft?md5=6ea1dad0eab11472934d4f708294c06c&pid=1-s2.0-S2949866X23000825-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135348573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aims to establish a preprogrammed drug delivery system of aceclofenac with a predetermined lag time for the treatment of arthritis. This new preprogrammed formulation microsphere reduces the time-dependent dose administration as it steadily releases the drug in the blood circulation reducing side effects and increasing patient compliance. Aceclofenac (ACF) loaded polymer microspheres were prepared by a new emulsification and crosslinking method using glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent. Microspheres were prepared in 6 batches using different polymers like sodium alginate, guar gum and chitosan, alone, as well as in combinations. The type and quantity of polymers were changed in every batch while the amount of aceclofenac was unvarying. The microspheres were then evaluated for the particle size, drug content, percentage yield, percentage entrapment efficiency and percentage drug release followed by noting the lag time. The microsphere loaded with aceclofenac were formulated and evaluated, the result showed that all the preparations showed a good lag time (2–3 ​h), but chitosan (alone) gave the highest lag time, which fulfills the aim of pre-programmed drug delivery system. Preprogrammed drug release has been achieved from the microspheres over a period of 0–7 ​h, consistent with the demand for chronotherapeutic drug delivery for the treatment of arthritis. The major signification of the preparation technique includes short processing time and the lack of exposure of the ingredients to high temperatures. Aceclofenac-loaded microspheres offer a promising avenue for arthritis treatment, ensuring sustained drug release. Their potential clinical implications include enhanced therapeutic efficacy, reduced side effects, and improved patient compliance. Future directions may involve personalized formulations, targeted delivery systems, and exploring applications beyond arthritis, expanding the scope of this innovative drug delivery approach.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100682,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Pharmacy","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 69-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949866X23001016/pdfft?md5=2acb88de8cb2027b64b4d3858b16868f&pid=1-s2.0-S2949866X23001016-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135372139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A study looked at whether an aqueous extract of <em>Syzygium cumini</em> (AESC) bark could stop rats from giving birth too early. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of AESC in vitro, and the results showed that this extract possesses free radical scavenging activity, which helps to prevent premature labour. A piece of an isolated rat uterus was used for in-vitro pharmacological testing of the AESC at 25 ​mg/ml and 50 ​mg/ml. The extract showed free radical scavenging activity, effectively suppressing uterine contractions by 45.7% and 66.9%, respectively. The researchers concluded that AESC has considerable tocolytic activity, resulting in a decrease in the rate of premature birth. The extract showed no significant adverse effects on mothers or their infants, suggesting it may be a safe option for pregnant individuals seeking to prevent preterm labor. The extract also exhibited a dose-dependent effect, with higher doses resulting in a greater reduction in premature birth rates, further supporting its efficacy as a tocolytic agent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100682,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Pharmacy","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 136-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949866X23000801/pdfft?md5=b4d65d8a3c779869f3e5e52ac804bd50&pid=1-s2.0-S2949866X23000801-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135433951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
