Therefore, many researchers have been screening the therapeutic potential of Moringa oleifera. The main objective of this study was to screen and explore the angiogenesis inhibition potential of Moringa oleifera pod extracts. With the aim of screening anti-angiogenic potential, extracts of Moringa oleifera pods were prepared by decoction method. The extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening to identify the nature of phytochemicals present in the pods. In-ovo chorioallantoic membrane assay was chosen to achieve the objective of the study. Water-soluble extractive value (15.00% w/w) was higher than that of alcohol-soluble extractive value (3.89% w/w), indicating that the Moringa oleifera pods have more water-soluble constituents. Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed presence of flavonoids. Angiogenesis inhibition effect was studied and compared with sunitinib. Statistical analysis revealed highest anti-angiogenesis activity in 100% methanolic extract. Least effect was observed in 50% aqueous extract. Anti-angiogenic potential of 100% methanolic extract was statistically significant when compared with other study groups. It is concluded that Moringa oleifera pods exert anti-angiogenic potential and more intensified and diversified studies are needed to enable a thorough investigation of this plant components in anti-cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":39138,"journal":{"name":"Hacettepe University Journal of the Faculty of Pharmacy","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134955056","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}

Due to its metastatic ability and development of resistance to chemotherapies, triple-negative breast cancer is an extremely challenging subtype to treat. Targeted and optimized therapy is imperative as these tumors have higher recurrence rates than other types of breast cancers. This review is focused on the novel therapeutic strategies that have been proposed for the treatment of these aggressive cancers including alternative approaches like patient selection using biomarkers, metabolic reprogramming and development of smart drug delivery systems (SDDS) using targeted nanoparticles to treat the tumors as well as ensure prevention of recurrence. All of these approaches are aimed towards removing and treating the malignancies of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and optimizing the therapies according to the patient cohorts. Further research is, however, necessary for the designing of an effective therapeutic regimen for patient sub-groups suffering from TNBC.","PeriodicalId":39138,"journal":{"name":"Hacettepe University Journal of the Faculty of Pharmacy","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81629445","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}

The e-searching on previous literature of the plant was conducted from its inception to the end 2021 according to the study’s criteria. The development of this review was based on the Cochrane Collaboration framework and PRISMA guidelines. As the result, it was found that over half of 43 eligible articles have discussed on its aphrodisiac attribution while others reported on the synergistic, sex reversal, antioxidant, anthelmintic activities and so forth. Two stilbenoid compounds are successfully isolated from the plant; trans-resveratrol and trans-3,3’,5,5’-tetrahydroxy-4’-methoxystilbene. Other than the detection of aurones and phytosterols, S. myosotiflora was delineated to be high in alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids.

Residual solvents analysis in pharmaceutical products is necessary not only because of they represent a potential risk for human health due to their toxicity and their undesirables side effects, but also because they may affect the physicochemical proprieties of pharmaceutical product. The main objective of this work was to analysis 29 residual solvents-impurities by Head Space Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector (HS-GC-FID) in seven samples of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride API, collected from seven pharmaceutical industries installed in Algeria. The GC was equipped with a flame-ionization detector and silica column coated with 1.8 µm layer of phase G43. The carrier gas was helium with a linear velocity of 35 cm/s and a split ratio of 1:5. The column temperature was 40 °C then it rised to 240 °C. The injection temperature was 140 °C and that of detector was 250 °C. Twenty-nine organic solvents belong to classes 1 and 2 were analyzed in seven samples of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride API whose control is mandatory because of their carcinogenic and intrinsic toxicity. Only five solvents were identified wich are Hexane, Toluene, Acetonitrile, Methanol and Dichloromethane in the different samples. All samples collected satisfied the test of identification, so, the confirmation and the quantification procedures weren’t realized. The HS-GC-FID technique used showed that the identified solvents differ from one sample to another of the same molecule. This showed that manufacturers didn’t often use the same solvents to produce the same API, which justifies that residual organic solvent tests weren’t usually mentioned in the specific monographs.","PeriodicalId":39138,"journal":{"name":"Hacettepe University Journal of the Faculty of Pharmacy","volume":"525 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83571730","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}
