The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of spirulina supplementation on oxidative stress, inflammatory factors and plasma markers of exercise-induced muscle damage in male taekwondo athletes. Results: A total of 18 trained taekwondo male athletes took part in a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. Each subject received either spirulina (8 g/day) or placebo for 3 weeks. The study had two periods separated by a 14-day washout. Blood samples were taken after finishing a training checklist program (4 times in total). There were no significant carryover effects; therefore, the two-week washout period was adequate. Compared to the placebo, a dose of 8 g / d of spirulina supplement over 21 days resulted in a significant decrease in plasma levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK) and interleukin 6 (IL6) and a significant increase in plasma levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) (p<0.05). There was not any statistically significant change in the plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) (p>0.05). Conclusion: Due to the improvement of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory conditions as well as an appropriate protein content, spirulina supplementation can produce a preventive effect on exercise-induced muscle damage in taekwondo athletes.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of investigational beractant (BeraksurfTM, Tekzima Company) in comparison with poractant alfa (Curosurf®, Chiesi Pharmaceuticals) as surfactant replacement therapy in NRDS. Methods: This trial was a randomized, controlled, single-blind, phase III study of two natural surfactants which was conducted in NICU of Alzahra hospital in Tabriz for 8 months. 220 infants were enrolled in 2 groups to receive either 100 mg/kg BeraksurfTM or 200 mg/kg Curosurf® as an initial dose endotracheally. Additional doses were given if needed. Infants’ gestational age, birth weight, discharge weight and other demographic information were recorded. Efficacy outcomes were changes of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) and the number of infants who reached FiO2 less than 0.3 (treatment success rate) which were compared between both groups with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The results showed that the treatment success rate was 92% and 72% in BeraksurfTM and Curosurf® groups, respectively (Pvalue< 0.001). In addition, no difference was observed in the efficacy of these two treatments in terms of binary outcomes and incidence of complications such as mortality. Conclusion: The result analysis of current study implies BeraksurfTM has same beneficial impact on clinical management of RDS as Curosurf® among infants below 32 weeks. However, larger studies are needed to evaluate further efficacy and safety outcomes of this surfactant in comparison with the reference products in other subgroups.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75047984","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}

In addition, ODT can be easily dispersed in suitable liquid before delivery via nasogastric tube in critical care setting. Objective: The objective was to improve nimodipine dissolution rate with the goal of developing ODTs for elderly patients, especially those experiencing neurological deficits. Methods: Drop assisted co-grinding of nimodipine with glycine (at molar ratios 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) or tartaric acid (at molar ratios 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4) was performed. Solid state characterization and in vitro dissolution studies were employed. The optimized formulations were employed to prepare ODTs using suitable excipients. Results: The prepared formulations improved drug dissolution compared to unprocessed and wet ground nimodipine. Fourier–transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggested transformation of the crystalline structure after co-processing. This was due to salt formation in case of tartaric acid and formation of new crystalline species/ size reduction in case of glycine. These changes were associated with dissolution enhancement. Formulations with highest release efficiency (nimodipine and glycine a molar ratio of 1:1 or nimodipine and tartaric acid at molar ratio of 1:3) were successively incorporated in ODTs which showed fast liberation of nimodipine and dissolution efficiency values of 76 + 0.6 % and 73.3 + 1.7 % for the tablets containing glycine or tartaric acid respectively. Conclusion: The study introduced simple co-grinding approach for dissolution enhancement of nimodipine with high scaling up potential. The developed tablets will increase patient compliance with expected improved bioavailability.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78705329","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}

For example, the effectiveness of hyperthermia as a new technique for cancer therapy, can be enhanced, if it is combined with chemical compounds. Herein, the influence of quercetin as a heat shock protein (HSP) inhibitor on the efficiency of cobalt ferrite-graphene oxide (CoFe2O4-GO) nanoparticles- based hyperthermia was investigated in an in vitro study. Methods: Firstly, the surface of graphene sheets was decorated with CoFe2O4 nanoparticles (5-8 nm) and assayed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The cytotoxic effect of the corresponding co-implementation was then examined in MCF7 cell line with or without hyperthermia by (3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) (MTT) test for 24, 48 and 72 hrs. In addition, the expression of Bax, Bcl2 and HSP70 genes and the production of radicals were evaluated by Real-Time PCR and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assays respectively. Results: The study showed that the doses associated with the IC50 points for quercetin and the CoFe2O4-GO nanocomposite were 0.02 mg/ml and 0.001 g/ml, respectively. The results showed that the simultaneous treatment of the cancer cells with quercetin, the nanocomposite, and hyperthermia significantly improves the cytotoxicity effect, increases the expression of Bax gene and down-regulates HSP70 and Bcl2 genes. In addition, the greatest attenuation of DPPH free radicals was observed in the corresponding group. Conclusion: The hybrid treatment of quercetin and the nanoparticle in the presence of hyperthermia could be considered as a promising approach for cancer therapy with minor side effects.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82150734","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}

In the hopes of discovering the latest and ultimate therapy, medicinal chemists will keep on to hunt for new antiepileptic compounds with high specificity and low CNS toxicity. The biological effects of benzodiazepine compounds have been examined. Benzene and a diazepine ring are fused together to form the chemical structure. Diverse combinations of moieties attached to the innermost structure in positions 1, 2, 5, and 7 the pharmacological qualities, effect potency, and pharmacokinetic conditions are all influenced by the various side groups. Method: This paper describes the synthesis of several 1H-benzo[b][1,5]diazepin-2(3H)-one derivatives. The substituents at N1 are benzoyl, 5-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles-2-yl-aminoacetyl. Condensation of orthophenylene diamine with ethyl acetoacetate gave 7-substituted-4-methyl-1H-benzo[b][1,5]diazepin-2(3H)-ones, which were then linked to benzoyl chloride and chloroacetyl chloride to yield N1-benzoyl and N1-chloroacetyl derivatives. N1- chloroacetyl derivatives were further linked with 5-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles amines using microwave irradiation. Result: IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectroscopy were used to authenticate the synthesized compounds. The PTZ produced convulsions method was used to test the compounds for anticonvulsant activity. Compounds 4a and 4c gave 80% protection at 0.4 mg/kg, whereas Compounds 2a and 2c offered 80% protection at 20 and 30 mg/kg, respectively, when compared to the Control.

Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties have long been associated with Mirazid. This study aimed to investigate the frameworks for the protection of Mirazid against nephrotoxicity triggered by Gentamicin. Methods: Male albino rats were divided into three groups; the normal group received only saline. Nephrotoxicity was induced by Gentamicin (100 mg/kg; i.p.) for 10 days in the second group. In the third group; Mirazid (10 mg/kg; p.o.) was administered for 10 days before receiving Gentamicin. This was done to investigate the kidney/body weight index, serum creatinine, urea, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Glutathione (GSH) levels. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining was done to study Jun N- terminal kinase 1 (JNK1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and caspase3 expressions along with histopathological changes. Additionally, a molecular docking study was performed for the seventeen isolated and identified compounds from myrrh, which is an oleo-gum resin obtained from the Commiphora species of plants (Burseraceae) against JNK1. Results: The Gentamicin group showed an increase in kidney/body weight index, serum creatinine, urea, LDH, and MDA, while decreasing GSH levels. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining revealed increased JNK1, iNOS, and caspase3 expressions along with histopathological changes. Mirazid showed a significant decrease in all of these parameters and restored oxidant/antioxidant hemostasis. In addition, it has significantly preserved the histopathological architecture of tissues. Concerning the docking study, the isolated compound (12) was found to be superior to the co-crystallized inhibitor (18) with a binding score of -7.19 kcal/mol compared to -6.95, respectively. Conclusion: Current data demonstrated that Mirazid represented a viable approach to suppress the nephrotoxicity produced by Gentamycin through inhibiting JNK1/ iNOS pathways, thus preserving kidney function. Mirazid prophylactic efficacy is assumed to be due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic qualities.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85822893","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 is postulated that nicotine addiction occurs through increased reactive oxygen species production in nucleus accumbens, which causes damage to the endogenous antioxidant defense system resulting in an increased need for nicotine intake, which leads to addiction. The antioxidants, andrographolide and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), are expected as potential substances to decrease the risk of nicotine addiction. This study aimed to analyze the effect of andrographolide and EGCG on the risk of addiction induced by nicotine and cigarette smoke extract (CSE) in mice. Methods: Thirty-five Balb/c male mice, divided into seven groups, were used in this study. The administered drugs were normal saline 1.0 mL/kg BW as control group, nicotine 0.5 mg/kg BW, CSE 1.0 mg/kg BW, andrographolide 50 mg/kg BW, and EGCG 50 mg/kg BW as pre-treatment. Conditioned place preference (CPP) with a biased design method was used to evaluate the reward effects induced by nicotine and CSE. Several stages were carried out, namely pre-conditioning, conditioning, post-conditioning, extinction, and reinstatement tests. Results: Based on the CPP score, both nicotine (p<0.001) and CSE (p<0.001) groups increased the reward effect significantly compared to that of the normal saline group. The andrographolide + nicotine (p<0.001) and EGCG + nicotine (p<0.001) groups decreased the reward effect significantly compared to that of the nicotine group without pharmacological treatment. Similarly, the andrographolide + CSE (p<0.001) and EGCG + CSE (p<0.01) groups decreased the reward effect significantly compared to that of the CSE group without pharmacological treatment.

This trial was conducted to assess the effects of melatonin on preventing paclitaxel-associated acute and chronic pain or decreasing its severity in patients with breast cancer. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on breast cancer women who received weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2) with or without trastuzumab after using doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide. The intervention group randomly received oral melatonin (10 mg/day) or placebo, which started from the first night of chemotherapy and continued through the planned 12 weeks of chemotherapy. The level of arthralgia-myalgia as acute pain was assessed every day in both groups using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire (DN4) and National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0 were used to measure chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy as chronic pain. Results: Seventeen patients were enrolled in each group randomly. The incidence of neuropathy according to a DN4 score ≥ 4 was significantly lower in the melatonin group versus the placebo group at week 12 compared to baseline (5 vs 11, P-value= 0.039).
