N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been used as a mucolytic in pulmonary diseases. This drug apparently contributes to the retrieval of the intracellular antioxidant system. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of NAC in severe COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This single-blinded randomized controlled phase III clinical trial included 40 patients with confirmed COVID-19 (based on polymerase chain reaction) admitted to the Shahid Mohammadi Hospital’s ICU, Bandar Abbas, Iran, in 2020. All cases had severe COVID-19. They were allocated randomly to two equal groups. Patients in the control group received standard drug therapy based on the treatment protocol of the national COVID-19 committee, while those in the NAC group received a single dose of intravenous NAC (300 mg/kg) upon admission to the ICU in addition to standard drug treatment. Clinical status and laboratory tests were done on admission to the ICU and then 14 days later or at discharge without knowing the patient grouping. Results: The two groups were comparable regarding age, gender, and other baseline laboratory and clinical parameters. At the final evaluation, respiratory rate (21.25 ± 4.67 vs. 27.37 ± 6.99 /min) and D-dimer (186.37 ± 410.23 vs. 1339.04 ± 2183.87 ng/mL) were significantly lower in the NAC group (P = 0.004 and P = 0.030, respectively). Also, a lower percentage of patients in the NAC group had lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≤ 245 U/L (0% vs. 25%, P = 0.047). Although the length of ward and ICU stay was shorter in the NAC group than in controls, the difference was statistically insignificant (P = 0.598 and P = 0.629, respectively). Mortality, on the other hand, was 75% in the control group and 50% in the NAC group, with no statistically significant difference (P = 0.102). Concerning the change in the study parameters, only the decrease in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was significantly higher with NAC (P = 0.042). The intubation and mechanical ventilation rates were higher, while oxygen with mask and nasal oxygen rates were lower with NAC, but the difference was statistically insignificant. Conclusions: Based on the current research, NAC is related to a significant decrease in RR, D-dimer, and DBP in severe COVID-19. Also, LDH was significantly lower in the NAC group than in the controls. More research with larger sample sizes is needed to validate the current study results.","PeriodicalId":17745,"journal":{"name":"Jundishapur Journal of Natural Pharmaceutical Products","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48980180","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}

Postbiotics are bioactive compounds that are produced when the healthy bacteria in the gut ferment fiber. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of postbiotics from 5 different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) including Lactiplantibacillus fermentum, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactiplantibacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Methods: Two different methods were adopted to obtain postbiotics (M1 and M2). M1 was the simple method in which the centrifugation was employed while in M2 method, ethyl acetate was used to obtain postbiotics. Agar disc diffusion, minimum inhibition concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration were used to assess the antimicrobial activity of postbiotics. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test was performed in order for investigating the antioxidant property. Results: The best results were recorded for L. casei compared to other LABs. Highest values of the agar disc diffusion method were obtained for L. casei. The inhibition zones for Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus, for examples, were 22 mm, 20 mm, and 19 mm, respectively. The postbiotic of L. casei also exhibited the most potent antioxidant activity among other probiotic bacteria. The data showed that M2 was a more effective method than the other method for acquiring postbiotics. Conclusions: It was recommended LABs postbiotics should be applied as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and preservatives in food and pharmaceutical industries due to their desired effects and natural characteristics.","PeriodicalId":17745,"journal":{"name":"Jundishapur Journal of Natural Pharmaceutical Products","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43081382","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}

Evaluating the preservative effectiveness of essential oils is valuable since most of them are generally known to be safe. Objectives: In the current research, the efficacy of Eucalyptus globulus essential oil was investigated as an antimicrobial agent individually and in combination with benzalkonium chloride in fluticasone propionate nasal spray. Methods: To determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of E. globulus essential oil, in vitro antimicrobial activity was assayed. The stability of nasal sprays was studied in intended preservation conditions at 40°C and RH: 25 %, and also the microbial challenge test was performed according to the United States Pharmacopoeia procedure, using reference strains: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 1112, Escherichia coli ATCC 1330, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 1074, Candida albicans ATCC 5027, and Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 5011. Results: The combined application of E. globulus essential oil and benzalkonium chloride at a concentration of 0.675/0.005% v/v, in nasal spray formulation could decrease the bacterial and fungal populations, in compliance with United States Pharmacopoeia criteria, with considerable preservation within 28 days of the study compared to those preserved with only benzalkonium chloride (0.02%).

It can be separated from the essential oil mixture by the liquid-liquid extraction process. Hydrosols from a variety of plants are becoming increasingly popular in cosmetology, aromatherapy, traditional pharmacy, and food sector; thus, their prospective applications should be further explored. Evidence Acquisition: Hydrosol may generally contain chemicals such as alcohol, ketone, and ester. Based on the previous studies using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis, linalool, carvacrol, and α-terpineol are the major chemicals present in plant hydrosol. Results: The chemical composition is either showing antimicrobial or antioxidant properties.
