The drug-excipient compatibility study results showed that there is no chemical change occur between the drug and the excipients and there was no functional group change observed. Teneligliptin is poorly water-soluble drug and it was fabricated as nanosuspension of Nine formulations by using nano precipitation technique. In this method, nano size particle size of Teneligliptin was obtained by using different type of various proportions of stabilizers along with other ingredient at different stirring speed. For the prepared formulation (F1-F9) the particle size, polydispersibility index and zeta potential were done. Among nine formulations, formulation 8(F8) results revealed that the values are desirable and stable. The total drug content of all the formulation ranges from 81% to 99%, The average particle size of F1 to F9 batches was found to be in the range of 0.211 nm to 0.486 nm The scanning electron microspore study stated that the nano size particles were spherical in shape. Among all the formulations (F8) was optimized which showed maximum highest percentage of drug release at 24 hours. The cumulative percentage of drug release of formulation 8 (F8) increase with the optimum concentration of stabilizers and tween 80. The release rate of optimized formulation 8(F8) was fitted with various release kinetic studies and the selected formulation followed zero order kinetics. The results of stability study was confirmed that the prepared Teneligliptin nanosuspension is stable during the stability study. Thus, it can be concluded that the nanosuspension method was commercially feasible and cost effective.","PeriodicalId":21141,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"75 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140503407","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}

Molecular docking investigations of effective anticonvulsant drugs utilized the Toshiba Satellite, Dual-core CPU, Windows 8 operating system, and the AutoDockVina of PyRx virtual screening program. PyRx was activated with the flexible docking option to dock the GABAAT enzyme, NMDA, and dibenzo-α-pyrone derivatives (Ligands) into the X, Y, and Z coordinate systems. Some Dibenzo- α -pyrone compounds were studied for their antiepileptic efficacy by molecular docking, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and toxicity. Docking analysis revealed that all the compounds have good binding scores, and SS9 derivative has the highest binding score compared to others in both the targets selected. ADME results revealed that most parameters are within limits, and toxicity analysis suggested that the designed compounds are low in toxicity.

It is difficult to get a comprehensive list of the various types of drug reactions and their corresponding drug due to many cases going unreported. There is a possibility of a cutaneous drug reaction every time a new drug is introduced into the market. While most types of drug reactions are trivial and benign, there is always a possibility of the reaction attaining a more malignant nature. The diagnosis of a CADR is more often based on a clinical examination. However, in order to understand the full scope of the reaction it must be reported and studied. The pharmacovigilance programme takes into account the spontaneous nature of the cases and employs alogical approach based on clinical characteristics, chronologic factors, and generation of a focused differential diagnosis. Using study tools like Naranjo scale and Modified Hartwig and Siegel scale, a physician can easily determine the severity and causality of the drug reaction. After compiling the data, one can determine the trend of the morphology of these CADRs, and determine the most likely drug responsible for the reaction.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phytochemicals present in any herbal product plays very important role in its further standardisation. BSL-150 is an Indian polyherbal, anti-diabetic tablet formulation which majorly contains leaves of Gymnemasylvestre, seeds of Syzygiumcumini, seeds of Phyllanthusemblica and bark of Tinospora cordifolia. The phytochemical analysis of the marketed tablets and in-house formulation by standard chemical methods showed presence of Alkaloids, Flavanoids, Steroids, Triterpenoids, Saponins, Tannins, Phenols, Phytosterols, Proteins, Anthraquinones, Gums and mucilages. The phytochemical analysis using HPTLC methods showed presence of Flavanoids, Steroids, Triterpenoids, Saponins, Tannins, Phenols, sterols, Anthraquinones, Essential oils, Bitter principles and coumarins. On comparison of the chemical method and HPTLC method for phytochemical screening, the chemical methods are less time consuming but they are not plant specific and general. Whereas, HPTLC methods can be plant specific and can be developed further for polyherbal formulation. Also, on the basis of intensity and Rf of a band, the selection of the phytochemicals as chemical marker for standardisation of the polyherbal product becomes easy.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the most well-known and researched phyto cannabinoids, with impressive therapeutic properties for a variety of neurological, gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, and skin problems. Cannabis and cannabinoids are beneficial in healing the sign and symptoms of several gastrointestinal diseases, according to research, in part because they interact with the digestive tracts endogenous cannabinoid receptors. This could help in relaxing pain and cramps, reducing discomfort, and improving motility. Many Indian classical formulations were found cannabis is used processing agent in pharmaceuticals. For the treatment of GI issues, there are some popular cannabis-based ayurveda or herbal formulations on the market. CBD levels are frequently higher in medical marijuana, while THC levels are lower. For certain people, the therapeutic CBD is desirable for medicinal purposes, but the psychoactive THC may be needless and undesired. There are numbers of traditional cannabis formulations on the market that lack standardised quality control parameters and methods of evaluation.So, there is a need to develop a standardization technique with special reference to CBD and THC content to include this system of medicine in the main stream of health science.

It is assumed to be the commonest unpleasant psychological disorder among cancer survivors. Breast cancer is assumed to be one of the commonest cancers in women. Also, the treatment modalities for breast cancer are strongly developed and there is an increase in the cure rate in recent years. However, surviving cancer patients are still feared of recurrence of the neoplasm. The fear of cancer recurrence affected negatively the patients' health and lowered their quality of life. Therefore, we sought to establish effective preventive strategies to improve the psychological health of patients. We searched the literature and reviewed the most recent available data from 2017 to 2023 to clarify the different factors affecting the fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients.We identified different factors that increase the fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients including; anxiety, chemotherapy, avoidance, intrusive thoughts, distress and exhaustion. Also, we identified other factors that decrease the fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients including; younger age patients, having a good quality of time, good social support and good self-efficacy. Regarding preventive measures; our meta-analysis showed that breast cancer patients who underwent Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction had significant improvements on the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (P<0.0001), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scale (P=0.0002) and perceived stress scale (P=0.0004). Also, we noticed that breast cancer patients who underwent blended cognitive behavior therapy or Smartphone problem-solving therapy had lower fear of cancer recurrence than those who received usual care. Finally, we advocate more research articles applying different modalities to overcome FCR in patients with breast cancer. Also, we recommend the use of different psychological treatments for patients with breast cancer to decrease their fear of cancer recurrence and improve their health.","PeriodicalId":21141,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"432 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140502730","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}

An in silico analysis indicated that EFA and AA exhibited physical interaction and compatibility. EFA exists in two polymorphic forms, I and II, with varying crystalline habits, where polymorph II presents better solubility and dissolution rate. Cocrystals were prepared using the solvent evaporation method by varying AA concentration and temperature. FTIR and NMR analysis confirmed the absence of chemical interaction between EFA and AA. Increasing AA concentration and temperature significantly increased the saturation solubility. DSC, XRD and SEM analysis revealed a shift in the endothermic peak of EFA, change in intensity with 2θ values, and modified surface morphology respectively. This also confirmed a polymorphic structure change in the cocrystals due to high heating rates and maximum crystallization rate. The dissolution rate of the cocrystals was enhanced by the optimized batch, which contained an intermediate concentration of AA and was subjected to the highest temperature condition, and the data fitted well with the Higuchi model of kinetics. The stability of the cocrystals was also evaluated by accelerated stability testing to determine the percentage of drug content. Thus, cocrystallization with AA proved to be a suitable approach for enhancing the dissolution characteristics and polymorphic modification of BCS II drugs, such as EFA.","PeriodicalId":21141,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"61 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140502929","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}
