Antidepressant drugs used in psychiatric clinics may affect the electrical activity of the heart which may induce fatal cardiac events. \u0000Objectives \u0000The purpose of the current study is to reveal the outcomes of escitalopram use for short period of time on the ECG records applying the prolongation of (heart-rate corrected interval for assessing ventricular repolarization) QTc and (corrected JT interval) JTc intervals as a predictor of the negative effects of antidepressants. \u0000Methods \u0000Twenty-eight patients with major depressive disorder and 20 healthy participants were recruited. Parameters such as weight, height, and blood pressure measurements were determined. Electrocardiographic (ECG) records and echocardiographic records [for ejection fraction (%)] were obtained before administration of escitalopram and after 4 weeks of treatment with daily escitalopram 10 mg. The intervals of JTc and QTc and the voltage criteria (R wave-V5 and S wave-V1) were measured. \u0000Results \u0000Patients with depression had a significantly prolonged interval of JTc and small-voltage criterion of the ventricles. Escitalopram significantly improves the prolongation in JTc and non-significantly ameliorate the voltage criterion. There is no significant alteration in the parameter of ejection fraction. \u0000Conclusion \u0000Irregularities in ECG records were observed in patients with major depressive disorder, and treatment with escitalopram for short period is associated with favorable results rather than negative effects. The evaluation of JTc interval in patients with depression is more suitable than QTc measurement in estimation of the effects of escitalopram.","PeriodicalId":7406,"journal":{"name":"Al Mustansiriyah Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"94 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91466487","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 considered the key target for both anticancer and antimicrobial drug design. \u0000Terminalia chebula has unique phytoconstituents which are employed broadly in the development of medications against different diseases. It has been established that Terminalia chebula fruit could be used as therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. The aim of study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of T. chebula fruit extract against DHFR enzyme activity and assessment the antioxidant and scavenging activity of T. chebula fruit extract, using DPPH and reducing activity tests Terminalia chebula fruits where extracted. The anti- DHFR enzyme activity was assessed in vitro for the four extracts of Terminalia chebula fruit and MTX. Phytochemical analysis of screening test, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was done for the extract with highest biological activity. Antioxidant and radical scavenging activity of the extract with highest biological activity were evaluated via DPPH [1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (α, α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl] and reductive ability test. The percent of DHFR inhibiting activity for the cold methanolic extract was the highest and it was higher than that of MTX (96.0±1.4% vs. 89.0±1.1%, respectively), therefore, it was selected for the proceeding assay. Phytochemical analysis showed that the cold methanolic extract of T. chebula, showed a positive reaction for alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, steroids and saponins. Besides, GC-MS analysis showed the presence of pyrogallol compound, while HPLC analysis recorded 3 major peaks with different retention times that were semi-identical to gallic acid, rutin and quercetin standard. The highest radical scavenging activity of T.chebula cold methanolic extract and ascorbic acid according to DPPH were (80.1±2.04% and 85.83±2.1%, respectively) at the maximum studied concentration (200μg/ml), where the activity of ascorbic acid was significantly higher (p≤0.05) than that of T.chebula. Meanwhile, the reductive ability of the cold extract was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than that of vitamin E (0.72±0.15 and 0.41±0.08, respectively) at the maximum studied concentration (250μg/ml). These results suggesting the cold extract of Terminalia chebula has in vitro prominent anti-dihydrofolate reductase activity which is better than that of MTX. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":7406,"journal":{"name":"Al Mustansiriyah Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75283211","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}

AKI is one of a group of functional kidney conditions \u0000known as acute kidney disease and disorders (AKD), which can vary in severity and self-limiting to severe and chronic. Adminstrations of glycerol generate significant elevation in serum urea and creatinine that’s mean occurance of functional abnormalities in the kidney. Vinpocetine drug has many pharmacological targets with multiple action, phosphodiesterase inhibiters-1(PDE-1) inhibitor, a voltage-gated sodium channel, and Inhibitory kinase B (IKK) are 3 main molecule targets of vinpocetine. PDE1 has been implicated in the regulation of vasoconstriction, vascular and cardiac structure remodeling, and neuro-transmission. Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase (PDE) III inhibitors, that widely used for many cases such as reduces direct vascular injury via different mechanism, such as vasodilation and antiplatelet action, anti-inflammation and platelet-leukocyte interaction minimisation, and inhibition of vascular proliferation via up-regulation of hepatocyte growth factors. In present study, we looked at the effect and mechanism of the drugs vinpocetine and cilostazol in an animal model of glycerol-induced AKI. Experiment done during the 14-day trial, rats were divided into five groups: the control group received 2ml/kg normal saline; the induction group received 10ml/kg intramuscular glycerol injection; the vinpocetine group received 5mg/kg via gavage for 14 days and on day 7 given glycerol IM, the cilostazol group received 50mg/kg for 14 days and on day 7 given glycerol IM, and the combination group received half dose vinpocetine (2.5mg/kg) and cilostazol (25mg/kg). We discovered that the induction group had higher levels of urea and creatinine, as well as increased inflammation and oxidative stress, and that their renal tissue showed morphological changes typical of AKI, whereas the combination groups reduced glycerol induce acute renal damage. This revealed that vinpocetine and cilostazol can reinforce renal rat protection by reducing serum urea and creatinine and improving histopathological changes.","PeriodicalId":7406,"journal":{"name":"Al Mustansiriyah Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74202934","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}

Never-theless, its role in the treatment of COVID-19 remains unclear. Azithromycin has a well-characterized safety profile. However, its use outside the approved indication needs further follow up to ensure that the benefit-risk balance remains positive.
