Government implemented number of family planning programs through the various surgical operations (tubectomy and laproscopy) and oral contraceptives. Usage of oral contraceptive pills may lead serious complications, and may induce congenital abnormalities. The primary goal of this research is to assess the abortifacient activity in rat models of two historically used medicinal plants, Laurus nobilis L. and Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. Restructure the paragraph as the study included 18 female wistar rats (150-200 g) and six male wistar rats (male wistar rats were used only for copulation). Female rats in proestrous phase were isolated and allowed to mate with males of proven fertility using the mass mating technique in a 3:1 ratio for an overnight. Control animals received an equivalent volume of the dosing vehicle (1% tween 80) orally. Aqueous extract of Laurus nobilis (AQLN) leaves and Ethanolic Extract of Aegle Marmelos leaves (EEAM) at doses of 175 mg/kg and 250 mg/ kg of were orally administrated daily for 10 days from day 0 of pregnancy to day 9. On day 20th of pregnancy, all the animals were sacrificed under euthanasia and the uterine horns were isolated, later they were examined for number of abortifacient sites and deformities of fetuses. The number of live fetuses in animals treated with EEAM at two doses was substantially lower in Group-4 at 175mg/kg (2.63 + 0.36) and Group-5 at 250mg/kg (1.87 + 0.40) compared to the vehicle control group (p 0.05, p 0.01). The survival ratio decreased considerably from 52.2% to 28.8% as the dose increased. Similarly, the abortion rate was higher in group 5 compared to Group-4. AQLN demonstrated to have 100% abortifacient efficacy at 250mg/kg, while EEAM has 83.3%.","PeriodicalId":16886,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83053818","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}

It has a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, and many studies report that grapefruit juice inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 leading to drug interactions. Naringenin was profiled through various in vitro studies like metabolic stability and glucuronidation in rat and human liver microsomes while, CYP inhibition using human liver microsomes. In addition, pharmacokinetic profiling was conducted upon intravenous (i.v.) and oral administration in rats. Naringenin undergoes both phase I and phase II metabolism in rat liver microsomes, and in human liver microsomes, it is predominantly metabolized by phase II. Glucuronidation which is addition (conjugation) of glucuronic acid to various functional groups is one of the major metabolic pathways of Naringenin. Naringenin, at 1.0 μM and 10.0 μM, did not elicit any appreciable inhibition of the 5 major CYP isoforms (CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6). Oral pharmacokinetic studies at 100, 300,and 1000 mg/kg dose and intravenous pharmacokinetic studies at 1 mg/kg dose were performed in male SD rats. Naringenin exhibited very short half-life (0.27 h) and rapid elimination (Clearance=110.65 mL/min/kg) after i.v. administration. There was saturation in Cmax and exposure beyond 100 mg/kg, and the absolute bioavailability was found to be ≤ 5% at the tested oral doses. This present experiment suggests that naringenin does not substantially inhibit CYP3A4 (or any of the tested five isoforms) isoforms per se. Given the minimal involvement of CYP enzymes in the metabolism of naringenin and minimal inhibition of CYP enzymes (IC50> 10 μM), the potential for drug-drug interactions involving CYP substrates and inhibitors is very minimal in humans.","PeriodicalId":16886,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79393725","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}

It has been demonstrated that the antipsychotic drug haloperidol, which has a high capacity to block D2-type receptors, can cause motor impairments similar to those seen in people with PD. Catalepsy can develop when animals are placed in abnormal or unusual postures for an extended period of time. Foxtail millet significantly reduced lipid peroxidation (p 0.001) increased the antioxidant enzymes SOD (p 0.05) and GSH (p 0.05), and significantly improved motor deficits such as catalepsy, motor coordination, and locomotor activity in our study. These results show that foxtail millet can protect against the motor deficits (catalepsy) associated with PD and epilepsy.","PeriodicalId":16886,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84390086","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}
