These compounds have different substituents at the diimine point and terminal nitrogen of the backbone. All the copper complexes showed distortion in geometry from square planar while all the zinc complexes showed distortion in geometry from square pyramidal. In electrochemistry determination by cyclic voltammetry, all the copper complexes were found quasi-reversible. When the antiproliferative activity was checked against tumor cells, copper complexes showed the greatest activity. It was seen that antiproliferative activity was decreased when hydrophobic moieties were present at diimine points and terminal nitrogen. Zinc complexes showed the lowest antiproliferative activity because they were failed in ligand delivery intracellularly as they were not chaperone. But cobalt showed good activity by successfully delivering the ligand acting as chaperone1. Copper complexes showed more antiproliferative activity as compared to the ligand. In the environment of the tumor, hypoxia was found which decreased the antiproliferative activity of the ligand and its copper complexes. In the present study, it was concluded that this relationship could be helpful in the synthesis of antitumor agents such as bis-thiosemicarbazone and its complexes.","PeriodicalId":8537,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135097460","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}

Jaundice in a healthy term infant is the most common reason for readmission to hospital. Jaundice is caused by a significant increase in serum bilirubin levels, largely due to the breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin is transported in the blood as 'unconjugated' bilirubin, largely bound to albumin. The bilirubin is converted into a conjugated form by the liver, which is excreted in the bile. Very high levels of unconjugated bilirubin led to neurotoxicity. In most infants, severe hyperbilirubinemia is caused due to an increase in bilirubin production (e.g., due to haemolysis) and thus reducing bilirubin production is a rational approach for its management. The situation can become critical in infants with an associated impaired bilirubin elimination mechanism as a result of a genetic deficiency and polymorphism. The simplest way to reduce bilirubin levels is by phototherapy. Current management of jaundice in the UK is guided by the NICE guideline.1","PeriodicalId":8537,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135097467","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}

Biologics are very target – specific and their side – effects are mostly related to exaggerated pharmacological effect. Whereas small molecule are more prone to induce harmful non - target effect.

Ethanolic extract of the leaves of the plant was subjected to various in-vitro assays. Antioxidant potential was tested through total phenol content, total flavonoid content, DPPH free radical scavenging capacity and total anti-oxidant capacity assay. Anti-inflammatory activity was tested against the denaturation of protein. Glochidion acuminatum exhibited good antioxidant potential on total phenol content assay, TPC as GAE was 507.24±19.48mg/gm. It showed remarkable antioxidant potential on total flavonoid content assay, TFC as QE was 486.28±16.44mg/gm. In DPPH free radical scavenging assay IC50 value was 14.97μg/ml while for standard ascorbic acid it was found to be 8.87μg/ml which express potent antioxidant activity. It also showed excellent antioxidant potential on total antioxidant capacity assay, TAC as AAE was 712.5±5.89μg/ml. Anti-inflamatory assay showed that the plant leaves extract possess very good anti-inflamatory potential. These effects may be due to the presence of different phytoconstituents present in the extract. Further studies are required to evaluate these effects and due to the findings which warrants further more sophisticated research.","PeriodicalId":8537,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88573225","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 different countries have different regulations for drug recall. Drug product recall is an action taken to withdraw or remove a batch or an entire production run of drug product from distribution or use to return them to manufacturer.it is usually done due to deficiency in quality, safety and efficacy. In the USA, guidelines for drugs product recall are described under 21 CFR Parts 7, 107 and 1270. In Australia, guidelines for drugs product recall are described under section 65F of trade practices act 1974. In Canada, it includes under section 25 of Natural Health Products Regulations (NHPR). In India it includes under para 27 and 28 of schedule M. In South Africa SAHPRA (South African Health Products Regulatory Authority) guidelines are responsible for regulations of drug product recall. Majority of drug recalls occur in the United states due to various reasons. In 2020-2022 total 257 drugs were recalled in Last three years. In Canada and Australia 220 and 25 drugs are recalled respectively. India and South Africa have recalled 2 and 21 drugs respectively. By the observation we can conclude that India and South Africa have a smaller number of recalls.

Alopecia, also known as hair loss, it is a common and upsetting clinical complaint in the primary care setting and can have a variety of aetiologies. The different types of hair loss include well-defined oathces, diffuse hair loss, and total hair loss, which can affect all hair-bearing sites. The most typical type of alopecia is patchy hair loss on the scalp. Hair loss or alopecia affects the majority of the population at some time in their life, and increasingly, sufferers are demanding treatment. There are three primary alopecias (androgenic [AGA], areata [AA] and chemotherapy-induced [CIA]). Alopecia areata, tinea capitis, androgenetic alopecia, traction alopecia, trichotillomania, abnormalities in the hair cycle, and congenital alopecia disorders are common causes of alopecia in children and adolescents. There are various forms of alopecia, and each requires a unique course of therapy. The review's goal is to examine the various alopecias and how they impact hair growth and appearance. The review starts out by explaining changes in hair structure and physiology that occur during life. The paper also examines potential future treatments for alopecia, as suggested by recent findings and advancements in technology.","PeriodicalId":8537,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81436540","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}
