Polysaccharides, such as mucilage or gum from medicinal plants, have a variety of physicochemical properties and are commonly used in pharmaceutical applications.\u0000Objectives: The current study's objectives are to construct and assess Metformin HCl tablets employing Momordica charantia (MC) natural mucilage as a binder and release modifier.\u0000Methods: The mucilage was isolated from the fruits of MC. The tablet was made using a wet granulation process, and the formulation included several mucilage ratios (1%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10%).\u0000Results: It was found that the granules and tablets had good flow qualities based on results of the pre- and post-compression parameters. The release kinetic study showed that F4 showed the first order release kinetics and F8 showed the zero and the higuchi’s release kinetics. In low concentration of mucilage tablets showed good binding properties with immediate release properties. As the concentration was increased, tablets showed good binding properties with sustained release properties.\u0000Conclusion: The isolated mucilage from Momordica charantias has the potential to be used as a tablet binder and as an intermediary in the development of a sustained-release drug","PeriodicalId":506675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International","volume":"54 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140662095","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}

Key findings unravel a bilateral relationship where depression not only emerges as a precursor but also as a consequence of Alzheimer's pathology, thereby creating a vicious cycle that exacerbates the cognitive decay. The review article traverses the landscape of both disorders, elucidating the pathological and biochemical links that interlace their neuropathological signatures. It further reviews the current landscape of treatment modalities and management strategies, positioning non-pharmacological interventions like lifestyle modifications and cognitive therapies at the forefront, alongside conventional pharmacotherapy. A novel angle is provided by the exploration of herbal plants used in treatment, gauging their efficacy and potential as alternative or adjunct therapies. Recent advancements in the therapeutic domain, such as personalized medicine and innovative drug targets, are also highlighted, offering a roadmap for translational research and clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":506675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International","volume":"78 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140675306","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 foundation of nanotechnology is made up of nanoparticles. The sizes of nanoparticles range from 1 to 100 nm. A variety of classes, including inorganic, organic, ceramic, and carbon-based nanoparticles, are used to categorise the nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are becoming a more widely used material like electronic devices to medicine in industries. Green synthesis is a feasible and environmentally acceptable alternative that produces nanoparticles using natural resources and biological processes. In addition to using environmentally friendly reducing and stabilising agents, the green synthesis approach makes use of a variety of biological resources, including bacteria, fungus, plants, and algae. The synthesis of nanoparticles has grown in importance as a means of promoting targeted drug delivery, imaging, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. These natural resources guarantee the biocompatibility and stability of the final nanoparticles by acting as capping agents in addition to reducing agents The creation of safer and more effective medical solutions through green synthesis has great potential to transform the nanoparticle manufacturing process. Green nanotechnology for pharmacy and healthcare is experiencing innovation which is usefulness as a resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Additionally, nanoparticles can be categorised into one, two, or three methods. The synthesis of nanoparticles using chemical, physical, and environmentally friendly methods is covered in this review. To make the nanoparticles, a variety of qualitative and quantitative techniques are applied. FTIR, SEM, and TEM are examples of qualitative techniques.","PeriodicalId":506675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140693316","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}

As we are all aware of the metal toxicity of nanoparticles, here we are using gold metal because gold nanoparticles are found to have lower toxicity than other metals. In this study, we prepared optimized conjugated gold nanoparticles of 6-Gingerol (Au-6G-PVP-NPs) by chemical reduction method using polyvinylpyrrolidone, a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, to increase the bioavailability and solubility of 6-Gingerol. The prepared nanoparticle conjugate was evaluated on different parameters such as pH, solubility, Zeta potential, TEM, DLS, polydispersity index, in vitro release, and stability studies to meet the criteria. The study concluded that gold nanoparticles conjugated with 6-Gingerol showed good solubility in gastric pH, effective drug release, and were more stable than free 6-Gingerol. Hence, it can be concluded that these conjugates can be used for cardiac disease as well as cancer treatment due to their good bioavailability, drug release, improved biocompatibility, stability, and decreased cytotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":506675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International","volume":"20 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140697544","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}

Environmental factors such as premature birth and exposure to drugs in utero can have a significant impact on children with ASD.

Environmental variables are currently considered potential etiological agents of this condition, as genetics alone cannot explain its primary origin. Numerous bacteria found in the gut microbiota (GM) have an impact on human health. Furthermore, a microbe impacted by birth mode, lifestyle, and genetics is present in the intestine.
