Marine sessile invertebrates have produced secondary metabolites, a lot of which are utilized as novel pharmaceutical agents with diverse effects whether anti-cancer or anti-microbial. Ascidians are marine sessile animals (phylum: Chordata, class: Ascidiacea). Various anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial components are obtained from different bioactive compounds belonging to ascidian species and are in different stages of clinical trials. In this study, five ascidian species which are Polyclinum constellatum, Botryllus eilatensis, Didemnum sp., Symplegma rubra, and Styela canopus were collected from two coastal sites in Egypt. These specimens were utilized for preparing extracts using organic and inorganic solutions. Crystal violet assay using human breast cancer cell line was performed for evaluation cytotoxic activity of dried extracts, besides the diffusion agar technique to assess anti-microbial activity using 6-type fungi: Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Candida tropicalis, and Penicillium expansum, Gram-positive Bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptococcus mutants, and Gram-negative bacteria: Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, and Proteus vulgaris. Two ascidian species, Didemnum sp. and S. rubra, showed significant cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cell line while other species showed moderate cytotoxicity. All investigated ascidian species have antibacterial compounds toward S. aureus and B. subtilis. The only species exhibited antibacterial activity against the fungus A. fumigatus was Botryllus eilatensis Didemnum sp. has exhibited activity against seven microbes, while S. canopus, Botryllus eilatensis, S. rubra, and P. constellatum have exhibited activities against 4,5,4, & 2 microbes from twelve used microbes, respectively. Therefore, ascidian species are excellent species for further studies to discover new pharmaceutical agents in Egypt.","PeriodicalId":9369,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University","volume":"348 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86795778","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}

According to its traditional applications, the subject of this review was to evaluate the efficacy of F. asafoetida in management of different gastrointestinal disorders in modern medicine. For this purpose, the scientific resources (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, SpringerLink, SciFinder, ACS Publications, and Wiley), traditional books, and thesis were investigated by the word of F. asafoetida, Hing, and gastrointestinal tract and the results were evaluated. There was one clinical trial on the efficacy of F. asafoetida in treatment of functional dyspepsia, and the other pharmacological activities such as anti-parasite, anti-cancer, antidiarrhea and liver protective effects were evaluated in preclinical studies. Although, F. asafoetida can be proposed as a good candidate for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, but the majority of studies have been limited to the experimental investigations. Therefore, evaluation of its efficacy and safety in well-designed human clinical studies is required to use of this valuable oleo-gum resin.","PeriodicalId":9369,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90529705","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}

Objectives: evaluation the effects of oral taurine used for 3 months on bone mineralization biomarker; glycemic control and body weight in type II diabetic patients. Methods: interventional double-blind placebo-controlled study in which 80 patients with type2 diabetes mellitus (age range 45e55) assigned in either control (n 1⁄4 40) or study (n 1⁄4 40) group. The last group received 1000 mg capsule of taurine once a -d for three months. Parameters measured were serum calcium, 25(OH) vitamin D and osteocalcin, NTX-1; HbA1C% and Fasting blood glucose before and after 3 months. Results: Taurine led to significant (p < 0.05) rise in osteocalcin and significant lowering in Body weight and BMI and there were no significant changes in Serum Calcium; NTX-1; Vitamin D; HbA1C% and fasting blood glucose; all as compared with control values.

These techniques focus on the rate of drug delivery, duration of action and site of action. One of such technique in fabricating novel drug delivery system is the use of polymers in development of in-situ drug delivery systems. Polymers used as carriers have revolutionized over the years. The formation of a polymer complex with other oppositely charged polymers resulted in the formation of polyelectrolyte complexes, which possess unique physicochemical properties with high biocompatibility. The polyelectrolyte's themselves are characterized as cationic, anionic and non-ionic according to the nature of the functional group present at the polymer chain, type of macromolecules formed and interaction forces existing between the complex formed. Additionally, these natural complexes avoid the use of chemical agents for cross linking of polymeric chains, thereby limiting toxicity. Due to their sustain and convenient way to deliver highly water soluble drugs they could target therapeutically active moiety to the site of action, and for these reasons they have led to various applications in the biomedical sector, in pharmaceutical and nano biotechnology industries. Thereby the use of polymers in in-situ drug delivery offers many benefits because of their sustained and prolonged drug delivery action when compared with other conventional drug delivery systems. The present review focuses on the use of natural Polymers in polyelectrolyte complexes as a drug delivery technology.","PeriodicalId":9369,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89267565","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}
