The synthetic pathway involves reaction of 2-(methylamino) benzoic acid (1) with 4-chloro-1,2-dimethoxybenzene (2) in presence of CuO and K2CO3 to give the precursor 3. Subsequent, cyclcondensation of 3 with Conc. H2SO4 afforded the anticipated acridone 4. Furthermore, the dimethoxyacridone derivative 4 showed potent antiacetylcholinesterase (ACHE) activity at (100 uM) with IC50 = 9.25 uM that is as potent as the reference drug rivastigmine. Assessment of total antioxidant activity of compounds 3 & 4 in comparison to known standard compounds revealed the following order: α-tocopherol > Acridone 4 > trolox > butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA) > butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) > compound 3. Molecular docking characteristics of 3 & 4 within the active site of AChE (PDB: 1ACJ) co-crystallized with 9-amino-tetrahydroacridine (Tacrine) have been studied. Interestingly, the results revealed comparable binding poses to the co-crystallized ligand and demonstrates good correlation of the binding energy (DG) with the observed IC50-values. This finding suggests that compounds 3 & 4 exhibit good antioxidant effect and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, which might provide profitable candidates in management of Alzheimer’s disease.","PeriodicalId":13912,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Drug Delivery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86763717","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}

Nonhealing wounds represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for a large portion of the population. Delayed wound healing is one of the major therapeutic and economic issues in medicine today. Wound healing requires a concerted effort of remodeling of various components of the connective tissue in the presence of appropriate cytokines and growth factors. Unfortunately we still do not understand the actual mechanism of wound healing. This review is an effort to provide information about current challenges of wound healing and their management, recent advances in wound care technology and current management guidelines for the treatment of wounds and ulcers. Various steps like microbial control, subsidence of inflammation, regeneration of connective tissue, angiogenesis and epithelialisation should take place in a time-bound sequence. The development of new and effective interventions in Wound care remains an area of intense research.","PeriodicalId":13912,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Drug Delivery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75375055","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}

Cells after treatments were assessed for apoptosis by DAPI staining for fluorescent microscopic examination of apoptotic cells, estimation of caspases activities, Bcl-2 family proteins in addition to cell cycle analysis by flowcytometry. Results show that both drugs induced apoptosis as demonstrated by increased caspases activity, significant alterations in pro and anti-apoptotic proteins of Bcl-2 family in promoting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase.

Solubility study, pseudo-ternary phase diagrams and 3 2 factorial design were used to select the components of the system and optimize the composition of liquid SMEDDS.

The concept of particle size and size characterization acts as a foundation for all the processes involved in theproduction of a formulation; from manufacturing to quality control operations. Particle size characterization dictates many properties of the finished product. Particle size characterization of samples is important to make a better quality product, improve its appearance, taste, texture and shelf-life. There are many instruments for particle size characterization that are available commercially. Each instrument is based on a different technique and each technique is based on a different principle. Selecting the right particle size characterization technique for the given sample is a challenging decision. The choice of technique is made according to the sample. Sometimes even a combination of techniques is used to obtain accurate results. There are several factors upon which choice of technique depends like size range, sample quantity, cost effectiveness etc. To ensure appropriate quality standards in the field of particle sizing and particle size characterization, ICH and US-FDA have recently insisted on including Quality-by-design approach in thepharmaceutical industry. Application of QBD approach to particle size characterization techniques ensures a resilient method which gives reproducible results. It aids in reducing result and method variations and promotes productivity and quality. The main objectives of this review are first, to understand the principle, instrumentation, and working of commercially used techniques and to compare their pros and cons; secondly, to study the factors which govern the choice of technique and lastly, to understand the concept of Quality by design and its role in particle size characterization through some example.

The results showed that the proportion of Oocytes fertilized was increased significantly in F2 (60%) than in the control (35%), and cyclodextrin group (50%) groups ( p <0.05). It could be inferred from this investigation that cyclodextrin nanoparticles can be used for biomedical interventions in bovine spermatozoa.

This valuation concerned specifications of moisture content, pH, the fingerprint by thin layer chromatography, pesticide residues, heavy metal content, microbial quality, and total ash. These charcteristics were determined by the methods prescribed by the World Health Organization (1998) and the European Pharmacopoeia 6th edition. The results have shown that dry syrups and reconstituted syrups were sweet, slightly spicy with a bitter after taste, a white room color and a faint odor. The density at the preparation was 0.985 and the pH was 5.93. After 2 months of storage in the laboratory, the organoleptic parameters of the reconstituted syrups have not changed. They were mold free, the density remained around 1 and the pH between 5 and 4.

Cyclodextrin-based nanosponges (NS) are a novel class of cross-linked derivatives of cyclodextrins. They have been used to increase the solubility of poorly soluble actives, to protect the labile groups and control the release. This study aimed at formulating complexes of CFDwith three types of β-cyclodextrin NS obtained with different cross-linking ratio (viz. 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 on molar basis with the cross-linker) to protect the lactone ring from hydrolysis and to prolong the release kinetics of CFD. Crystalline (F 1:2 , F 1:4 and F 1:8 ) and paracrystalline NS formulations were prepared. XRPD, DSC and FTIR studies confirmed the interactions of CFDwith NS. XRPD showed that the crystallinity of CFD decreased after loading. CFD was loaded as much as 21%, 37% and 13% w/w in F 1:2 , F 1:4 and F 1:8 , respectively while the paracrystalline NS formulations gave a loading of about 10% w/w or lower. The particle sizes of the loaded NS formulations were between 450 and 600 nm with low polydispersity indices.
