Macaranga subpeltata is among medicinal plants, which shows an important source of antioxidant (AO) compounds and has the potency to overcome those problems. Silymarin is a plant-derived flavonolignan with tremendous health benefits as an AO and organ protector. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), an active prooxidant molecule, enables the generation of OS in mammalian cells. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ethyl acetate crude fraction of M. subpeltata (EACFM) and silymarin in H 2 O 2 -induced OS of Vero and HepG2 cell lines. The 3-(4,5-dimethyl azole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was used to evaluate cell viability, while examination of ROS generation and cell death were done using the flow cytometric method. The study revealed that H 2 O 2 induced ROS generation in a dose-dependent manner both on Vero and HepG2 cell lines, and the HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells were more resistant to H 2 O 2 toxicity than the Vero cells. Silymarin suppressed ROS formation on both H 2 O 2 -treated cell lines with different effects; it alleviated H 2 O 2 intoxication on Vero cells but enhanced the toxicity of H 2 O 2 on HepG2. The EACFM reduced H 2 O 2 intoxications of Vero cells and modulated ROS-mediated cell death of HepG2 cells through either apoptosis or necrosis. The EACFM showed a higher capacity to reduce OS due to H 2 O 2 treatment on Vero cells; however, silymarin showed better anticancer properties.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"132 6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79617273","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}

There are different sewage treatment plants available for antibiotics removal but these are not used efficiently. This review gives insight into the presence of different antibiotics in rivers of major south Asian countries. The area is thus chosen due to the increase in the annual consumption of antibiotics. The study includes five rivers of India named Kshipra, Musi, Ganga, Yamuna, and Gomti; two rivers of Sri Lanka named Kelani and Gin and one river each from Nepal and Bangladesh named Bagmati and Brahmaputra. The amount of antibiotics present varies from country to country and from river to river. The current review will therefore showcase the most prominent antibiotics found in these water sources.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80617006","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}

In traditional Chinese medicine, Dendrobium has been reported to have an antidiabetic effect and has been used in the preparation of herbal medicines for a long time. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro antidiabetic (α-amylase and α-glucosidase assay) activities and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) inhibitory activity of the methanol extracts of 20 Dendrobium species. Phytochemical constituents and total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of the extracts were evaluated, as well. The total phenolic content was exhibited to be in the range of 31.73–132.70 mg GAE/g, and total flavonoid content was found in the range of 58.80–237.57 mg QE/g. The highest inhibitory activity of α-amylase was reported in D. parishii Rchb.f. (IC 50 46.57 µg/ml. The most effective inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase was found in D. ellipsophyllum Tang & Wang. (IC 50 128.69 µg/ml) and D. brymerianum Rchb.f. (IC 50 138.27 µg/ml). Dendrobium brymerianum Rchb.f. and D. scabrilingue Lindl. were shown to have the most potent inhibited AGEs formation with IC 50 values of 34.44 and 46.95 µg/ml, respectively, compared to aminoguanidine (IC 50 49.81 µg/ml). As a result, several Dendrobium species displayed strong antidiabetic and AGEs inhibitory activity, and they have the potential for further development.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80862093","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}

Human platelet lysate (HPL) contains many nutrients needed for cell growth and proliferation. The GFs are contained not right in liquid lysate but in exosomes. Our study demonstrated the superiority of Exo-HPL compared to HPL in decreasing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 level and increasing collagen deposition in intrinsic aging rat models (IRMs) induced by injection of D-galactose. The highest deposition of collagen at 40× magnification is found in IRM + Exo-HPL treatment group (38.40%) which is close to collagen deposition in young rats group (42.90%). At 100× magnification the study demonstrated that there was higher collagen deposition in IRM + Exo-HPL treatment group (39.94%) than in IRM + HPL treatment group (34.53%) which was close to the young rat group’s collagen deposition (43.26%). This study found a significant difference of MMP-1 level and collagen deposition among all groups. Both Exo-HPL and HPL treatment groups decreased MMP-1 level and increased collagen deposition compared to IRM group. Exo-HPL treatment group was more effective in decreasing MMP-1 level and increasing collagen deposition compared to HPL treatment group and IRM group significantly.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74256978","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}

Garcinia mangostana pericarp crude extract (GM) and α-mangostin (MGS), a major bioactive compound, have potentiality to consider as a new complementary therapy for UC due to pharmacological activities, particularly anti-inflammatory activity. However, safety in terms of drug interaction has been neglected. The current study investigated the impacts of GM and MGS on the cytochrome P450 (CYP) profiles in the mouse colon and kidneys, including the inflammatory response in the kidneys. Male ICR mice were orally pre-treated with 40–1,000 mg/kg/day of GM, 30 mg/kg/day of MGS, or 100 mg/kg/day of sulfasalazine daily for 7 days. On days 4–7, 6 g/kg of 40 kDa dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was orally administrated to induce UC. RT-qPCR was performed to determine the mRNA expressions of CYP and inflammatory genes. DSS suppressed Cyp1a1, Cyp2b9/10, Cyp2c29, Cyp2d9, Cyp2e1, Cyp3a11 , and Cyp3a13 expressions, whilst GM and MGS positively adjusted the CYP expression in both organs. Besides, Tnf-α, Mcp-1 , and Nf-κb expressions were up-regulated after UC induction, while they were restored to the level comparable to the control by GM and MGS. Therefore, G. mangostana pericarp is a promising candidate to normalize the CYP profiles and reducing the risk of drug interaction, and to revitalize against inflammation.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85356795","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}
