Imeglimin is used to treat type-2 diabetes (T2D). The chiral stationary phase was reverse phase Chiralpak IG-3 (100 × 4.6 mm, 3 µm), whereas the isocratic mobile phase was methanol and 10 mM ammonium acetate (95:5 v / v ratio) and the flow rate was 0.5 ml/minutes. The resolution of the (+) and (−) enantiomers was monitored using LC-ESI-MS/MS in positive transition at 155.0 m / z (M+H) for imeglimin. The (+) and (−) linearity ranges from 10 to 100 ng/ml. The correlation co-efficient ( R 2 ) of the (+) and (−) imeglimin enantiomers was found to be linear. The retention time of the (+) and (−) enantiomers of the drug was 2.876 and 4.325 minutes and the total run time of the chromatographic resolution was 5 minutes. As a result, our goal is to separate the enantiomers and develop a fast, sensitive, and cost-effective method for estimating (+) and (−) enantiomers in its formulation.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90762235","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 fungal strains were isolated from red ginger leaves, stems, and rhizomes by direct planting and pour methods using fungus culture medium and cultivated on rice medium. In the secondary metabolite extraction process, ethyl acetate (EtOAc) is used as a solvent. The agar diffusion procedure examined the EtOAc extract for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus , Escherichia coli , and Candida albicans . This study succeeded in isolating 10 fungal strains. The result of antimicrobial screening revealed that the fungal strain JMR4 has a high ability to suppress the development of pathogenic bacteria S. aureus and E. coli , with an inhibition zone of 14.38 ± 1.34 and 16.88 ± 0.69 mm, respectively. The fungus was later identified using the molecular approach, which stated that this fungus is Aspergillus terreus .

In a previous in vivo study, isorhamnetin lowered serum cholesterol of rats fed high-cholesterol diet. However, its mechanism of action was not investigated. In the present work, the mechanism of its hypocholesterolemic effect was studied. The expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) genes and proteins was studied in HepG2 liver cancer cell line by polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as well as its antioxidant activity. sorhamnetin had an IC 50 of 100, 53, and 40 µM at 24, 48, and 72 hours, respectively, in HepG2 cells. Isorhamnetin downregulated HMG-CoA reductase gene expression significantly. Also, all tested doses of isorhamnetin downregulated LDLR expression and produced no change in membranous LDLR protein expression. In cell lysate, LDLR was increased by all studied concentrations of isorhamnetin. Isorhamnetin (100 µM) decreased intracellular HMG-CoA reductase compared to vehicle-treated control. Furthermore, isorhamnetin increased superoxide dismutase activity and reduced H 2 O 2 level, due to catalase activity. Isorhamnetin reduced HMG-CoA reductase gene expression and increased total LDLR and exerted pronounced antioxidant action.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90985991","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}

Unbalanced levels of free radicals and natural antioxidants in the body may induce oxidative stress (OS). OS is responsible for several illnesses, including diabetes mellitus, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The antioxidants can potentially increase the defense mechanism against OS and protect human health. The study aimed to analyze the catechins’ role as antioxidants. The catechins can upregulate antioxidant enzymes, scavenge free radicals, protect the DNA by intercalating to the helixes, and create chelation due to numerous hydroxyl moieties attached to the aromatic ring, which protects the structural integrity through electron delocalization. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a catechin with the greatest antioxidant capacity, has ortho-phenolic hydroxyl groups which potentially in binding free radicals. Moreover, the case study showed that dose-dependent treatment of tea had some benefits for human health. Humans with anemia and menopause cannot consume tea in high doses, which could worsen the condition. Conversely, humans with thalassemia are suggested to take tea to decrease the iron in their bodies. This review is expected to be a further study reference, mainly to clarify the EGCG process in restoring antioxidant enzymes and activating the thioredoxin antioxidant system.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90127204","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}

Therapy for advanced-type melanoma is still a challenge because of the low response rate and 10-year survival. Therefore, drug discovery efforts need to be made to fight this cancer. To date, the development of big data and 3D has made it easier for researchers to understand the structure of proteins or enzymes that play an important role as receptors in melanoma cancer to be used as specific targets for diagnosis and therapy, for instance, the B-Raf V600E. This study examined the potential of active compounds from microalgae for developing melanoma anticancer drugs. The database was constructed using data mining from MarinLit and the related publications from 1970 to 2020. In silico methods such as molecular docking, virtual screening, and molecular dynamic simulations were used to find the most potential candidates. A total of 25 compounds passed the virtual screening stage. The top three compounds based on the binding free energy compared to a natural ligand and commercial drug are cholesta-5,7-dien-3beta-ol, 24-oxocholesterol acetate, lathosterol, and two additional compounds, phycocyanin and phycocyanobilin, were also selected due to their massive production from the most commonly cultured microalgae worldwide, Arthrospira sp. (previously known as Spirulina sp.). Furthermore, ADME analysis and toxicity tests were also carried out. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that phycocyanin was the best potential candidate for melanoma anticancer drugs, with free binding energies ranging from −65 to −80 kcal/mol. This result was also supported by root mean square deviation, root mean square fluctuation, and distance parameter data. This study may accelerate molecular research in producing therapeutic compounds for melanoma cancer, thus allowing it to continue developing pharmaceutical products that benefit human health.","PeriodicalId":15126,"journal":{"name":"journal of applied pharmaceutical science","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79265357","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}
