As soon as it is digested, it gives rise to blood glucose level. In order to control such glucose spikes in blood, their diet is immediately shifted toward low calorie food and medications with low glycemic index.

It is a diuretic and a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. Apart from stimulating the CNS, it exerts beneficial effects in combination with other substances like L-theanine and catechins. Caffeine was extracted from green tea and black tea samples using various solvents. The maximum yield of caffeine was obtained from dichloromethane extracts. The extracted caffeine was identified by TLC and FTIR. A simple UV spectroscopic method was developed and validated for the estimation of caffeine in green tea and black tea. The wavelength maximum of caffeine was obtained at 272 nm in distilled water. The Beer-Lambert law was obeyed in the concentration range of 0.5 to 35 µg mL-1 for caffeine. The linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, and ruggedness, limit of detection and limit of quantification of this method are within the limits of ICH guidelines. This method was found to be precise as % RSD was less than two. The LOD and LOQ values were 0.03 µg mL-1 and 0.091 µg mL-1,respectively. The percentage purity of caffeine from green tea and black tea samples was found to be 98.32% and 99.42 %. Thus, the proposed method was found to be rapid, specific, precise and accurate for the routine analysis of caffeine in green and black tea samples.","PeriodicalId":13409,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN DRUGS","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49223193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Difficulty to metabolize lactose due to a genetic disorder, though exists in a large population, has not been taken too seriously. Reason being, it’s not a fatal disorder and the intolerance leads to some amount of bloating, indigestion, maybe a bit of acidity, and distaste to drink milk. However, as science and technology progressed, one of the numerous causes for fatalities of newly born infants and children have come to the forefront. Though rare, genetic (inherited) disorders in which the body cannot turn food into energy and metabolize, have been detected. These are referred as inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Such disorders are usually caused by defects in specific proteins (enzymes) that help breakdown (metabolize) parts of food. Examples include organic acidurias, fatty acid oxidation defect, urea cycle disorder, mitochondrial disease, galactosemia, maple sugar urine disease (maple sugar disorder), fructose intolerance, phenyl ketone urea amongst others","PeriodicalId":13409,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN DRUGS","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43678141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, high estrogen levels are the most common subtype of breast cancer. Three different classes of estrogen receptor antagonists are frequently used to treat such kinds of breast cancers. Each of these interacts directly with the initiation and activation of the estrogen signalling pathway. However, new medicines must be developed because resistance limits the therapeutic effectiveness. In silico studies for drug discovery have become popular in recent years due to their low cost and quick execution. To develop novel therapeutics for breast cancer, three different series of benzimidazole compounds targeting the estrogen receptor were docked. Among these three series, benzimidazole fused with pyrazole showed significant results and the leading compound was 32 based on docking results. The docking data was further validated by executing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for the stability of designed leads within the macromolecular cavity in relation to time. Therefore, it is proposed that the pyrazole fused benzimidazole nucleus can be a promising pharmacophore for developing novel anticancer therapeutics for breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":13409,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN DRUGS","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47650080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
