Methanolic leaf extracts of A. mutica and T. spathaeca were used to create AgNPs and ZnO NPs under ambient conditions using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). Their ability to block alpha- and beta-amylase confirmed the in-vitro antidiabetic efficacy of methanolic leaf extract of plant (MLEP), AgNPs, and ZnO NPs. In this study, α- amylase activity of ZnO and nanoparticles of silver produced from natural sources will be evaluated in an effort to lessen the toxicity and negative effects of the inhibitor used to treat diabetes. Antidiabetic action was especially impressive in the ZnO and silver nanoparticles produced using methanolic extracts of A. mutica and T. spathaeca. Because of their promising in-vitro antidiabetic action with alpha-amylase activity, MLEP of A. mutica and T. spathaeca, AgNPs, and ZnO NPs show promise for future medical uses.","PeriodicalId":14260,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135867464","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}

Pharmaceutical waste includes unused, expired, or unwanted medications that can be harmful if they end up in the environment or are improperly handled. This can include prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and veterinary drugs. Pharmaceutical waste can be generated by a variety of sources, including healthcare facilities, households, and veterinary clinics. Improper disposal of these medications can lead to water and soil contamination, as well as potential harm to wildlife and humans. In addition, pharmaceutical waste can contribute to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance and other environmental issues. To address these concerns, various disposal methods have been developed to ensure the safe and effective management of pharmaceutical waste. These methods include disposal in the trash, take-back programs, incineration, and landfill disposal. However, there is still a need for improved awareness and education on proper disposal practices among healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public. This review article aims to provide an overview of the current practices and regulations related to pharmaceutical waste disposal and the challenges and opportunities for improvement in this area. Through a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature on this topic, this article will highlight the importance of proper pharmaceutical waste disposal and the need for continued research and policy interventions to ensure a safe and sustainable approach. Our article highlights the importance of proper pharmaceutical waste disposal and the need for improved awareness and education on this topic among healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public.","PeriodicalId":14260,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135867554","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}

The risk of death for AS patients is highest in the first few weeks and varies from 20 to 50% in the first month, depending on age, severity of stroke, other medical disorders, and treatment effectiveness for all outcomes. Furthermore, Tn subunits bind to muscle filaments, according to studies. Since it is a sensitive sign of myocardial necrosis, researchers have determined that it is widely used to diagnose acute coronary syndromes. Objective: To assess the link between serum TnI levels and AS in CAD cases. Methods: Based on the average patient volume and available resources at the KIMS, Karad from October 2017 to December 2019, our study comprised 57 patients. A structured and validated questionnaire was utilized to collect data. Microsoft Excel received the data. Tests were conducted using Epi-Info 7.2 and SPSS version 20. The student’s t-test is used to determine correlation, whereas the chi-square test was utilized to measure association. Result: A strong correlation was observed between mortality and elevated TnI levels in AS cases (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients with AIS showed significant TnI levels. Serum TnI levels were higher in patients with AIS, despite these levels being thought to be more selective for myocardial damage. TnI levels and AIS prognosis were substantially associated. The results of this study will improve our understanding of cardiac enzymes in AIS patients as well as how they impact prognosis.","PeriodicalId":14260,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135867685","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}

Antibiotic prescriptions made by dentists were analyzed from a diagnostic perspective in a countrywide study. This study retrospectively examined national health data from January 2018 through August 2019, collected through the Prescription Information System. The analysis only included prescriptions for a single illness and at least one systemic antibiotic. Antibiotic prescribing practices and the role of dental specialization and diagnosis were studied. A total of 9,214,956 prescriptions out of 9,293,410 matched the criteria for inclusion. An average course of antibiotic treatment consists of 1.01 pills. Antibiotics were prescribed most frequently for dental caries (16.2% of cases), dental examinations (20.7% of cases), and periapical abscess without sinuses (28.1% of cases). Antibiotics were prescribed for 96.6% of patients for illogical or confusing reasons, whereas just 3.4% were given based on a single, unambiguous diagnosis, such as cellulitis or a mouth abscess. The most commonly prescribed treatment for any medical issue was amoxicillin combined with an enzyme inhibitor (58.6%). Compared to unidentified dental practitioners (58.2%; p = 0.0001), dental specialists in Groups A and B significantly overprescribed amoxicillin plus an enzyme inhibitor (67.0 and 67.8%, respectively; p = 0.0001) (data not shown). The results of the study suggest that dentists routinely and arbitrarily prescribe antibiotics with questionable rationale in the contexts studied. These results emphasize the need for dentists to begin prescribing antibiotics more deliberately and evidence-based. Educational programs, awareness campaigns, and antibiotic stewardship programmes are just some of the interventions that may be implemented to improve prescribing practices and ensure the correct use of antibiotics in dental operations. The results of this countrywide study highlight problems with dentists’ procedures for prescribing dental antibiotics. The paper states that dentists should base their prescription practices on sound reasoning and empirical data. Dentists can help with global efforts to lower antibiotic resistance and improve patient care if they prescribe them in a more reasonable and responsible manner.","PeriodicalId":14260,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135867550","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}

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

Method: Our research on the molecular mechanism of naringenin, a flavonoid present in plants and berries that has been shown to limit cell growth and protect against cancer in in-vitro and animal models, was conducted using dictyostelium, a simple, controllable biomedical model. Cultured MDCK cells were used to generate differentiated tubule cells, and these findings were extrapolated to a human kidney model employing these cells. Results: While naringenin inhibited growth in dictyostelium, it had no effect on development. In a random-gene-knockout screen, a TRPP2 (polycystin-2) knockout mutant was discovered to be resistant to naringenin’s effects on growth and random-cell movement. Changes in the divalent transient receptor cause polycystic kidney disease type 2 potential cation channel TRPP2. We found that the growth of cysts and MDCK cells might be inhibited by naringenin. Partial resistance to naringenin was achieved in this model by lowering TRPP2 levels via siRNA, as evidenced by the presence of larger cysts following treatment with 3 and 10 M naringenin compared to controls. Naringenin had no effect on chloride secretion. Conclusion: Naringenin’s influence on cell proliferation is mediated by TRPP2 in both dictyostelium and mammalian kidney cells, despite their vast evolutionary distance from one another (polycystin-2).
