This study focuses on the desert plant Anabasis oropediorum ( Chenopodiaceae ), which is native to calcareous sandy regions in North African countries and Palestine. This investigation is the first to shed light on the therapeutic nature of the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of A. oropediorum . A phytochemical screening analysis was conducted, including a quantitative estimate of the total phenols, flavonoids, flavonols, anthocyanins, hydrolyzable tannins, and condensed tannins. Antioxidant activity was evaluated in vitro using three methods: DPPH • scavenging, β -carotene bleaching, and anti-hemolytic assay. The antidiabetic activity was tested using two assays: non-enzymatic hemoglobin glycosylation and glucose uptake by yeast cells assay. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by the disc diffusion method, and anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by the protein anti-denaturation method. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, coumarins, cardiac glycosides, leuco-anthocyanins, mucilage, phenols, saponins, sterols, and terpenes. The quantitative analysis showed that the methanolic extract provided a high level of flavonoids (17.0±0.50 µ g QE/mg) and the total contents of tannins (5.3±0.04 µ g GAE/mg, 7.3±0.14 µ g CE/mg). Chlorogenic acid, p -coumaric acid, quercetin, and rutin were the phenolic compounds detected by RP-HPLC analysis. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of alkanes, aromatic compounds, and aliphatic amines in the methanolic extract. Biologically, this medicinal plant exhibited medium antioxidant activity, good in vitro antidiabetic activity, antibacterial activity against only Staphylococcus aureus , Listeria innocua , and Escherichia coli , and very good albumin protection activity from heat denaturation","PeriodicalId":17096,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Pharmacy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69840455","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}

Transdermal delivery of cubosomes is currently gaining more importance over conventional topical delivery of drugs. The proposed study aimed to produce Lidocaine hydrochloride loaded cubosomes. This study was designed to prepare various formulations of Lidocaine nano cubsomal dispersions at different concentrations of lipid and stabilizer using optimization technique. For the purpose of prolonging the duration of the local anaesthetic action, Lidocaine-loaded cubosomes were developed by bottom up method utilizing Glyceryl mono oleate and Poloxamer 407 in various ratios using the \"Quality by Design\" approach, 3 2 factorial design employing statistical software. Within the confidence intervals, the 3 2 statistical design was effective at forecasting the optimized formulation's composition. Surface morphology, particle size, drug content, poly dispersibility index, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro drug release studies were conducted on the prepared formulations. Several mathematical models were used to conduct and assess an in vitro drug release investigation. The maximal entrapment efficiency for the LH8 formulation, which was validated to have optimum cubosomes dispersion, was reported to be 78 % with vesicle size as 150 nm, Zeta potential 21.5 mV and Poly Dispersibility Index as 0.08 along with an in vitro drug release 80.03 % by the end of 24 hours. A stable dispersion with appreciable results of evaluation parameters of cubosomal dispersion was conferred with formulation LH8. Hence from amongst the nine formulations developed, it is concluded that LH8 is selected as the optimized dispersion to be incorporated into a gel formulation.","PeriodicalId":17096,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Pharmacy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69840490","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}

To solve the bioavailability issue, piperine, a natural bioenhancer, can be coupled with curcumin in a solid dispersion-based microparticle formulation (SD). This study's objective was to understand drying temperature's effect on the yield and dissolution behaviour of curcumin and piperine in the SD containing C.longa and P.nigurm extracts at a weight ratio of 3:1. The SD was prepared on a solvent method and used polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 as a carrier. Spray drying was operated at 105°C, 115°C, and 125°C to evaporate the solvent. The yield and dissolution behaviour of curcumin and piperine were their defining characteristics, and the dissolution efficiency (DE) was used to compare the dissolution profiles. The kinetic release model of curcumin and piperine was determined using DDsolver software. The results demonstrate that the SD's yield increases as inlet temperature increases, from 33.60% at 105°C to 35.75% at 115°C to 39.30% at 125°C. The dissolution of curcumin and piperine from the SD increases along with the rise in drying temperature. Variation in drying temperature provides a different kinetic model of curcumin and piperine release. The Weibull model describes the release kinetic of curcumin and piperine at almost used drying temperatures; however, the release of piperine from the SD prepared at 125°C fits the zero-order model.","PeriodicalId":17096,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Pharmacy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69839071","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}
