Investigation of Phytochemicals and Antioxidant Properties of Piper Hymenophyllum Miq.
type: item
description: The genus Piper stands out as the most extensive within the Piperaceae family, showcasing a diverse array of species that are prevalent across tropical regions. A variety of Piper species have been historically utilized for multiple purposes, particularly in medicinal applications, owing to their rich phytochemical compositions. In the commercial market, the pepper of Piperaceae stands out as the most traded spice globally. Piper species have been utilized in traditional medicine across the globe to address various health issues, including urological disorders, skin conditions, liver and stomach ailments, wound healing, and to provide antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Piper hymenophyllum (Vaal thippili) is an endemic plant native to South India, known for its use by the Kani tribals in the treatment of gastric ailments. Although it has been traditionally utilized, there is a scarcity of documented evidence in the literature concerning its phytochemical properties. This study investigated the pharmacological activities of lesser-known wild piper species, specifically focusing on the leaf, stem, and fruit of P. hymenophyllum, thereby enhancing our understanding of its potential therapeutic applications and biochemical properties. The objective of the study was addressed through qualitative preliminary screening and confirmatory tests, which identified the presence of both primary and secondary metabolites. Quantification of total phenolic content revealed the highest concentration in the ethyl acetate leaf extract (247.18 mg GAE/g extract). Similarly, flavonoid content was found to be highest in the ethyl acetate extracts of P. hymenophyllum leaf, fruit and stem, ranging from 241 to 304 mg RE/g extract. In vitro antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS, Superoxide radical scavenging and Phosphomolybdenum) demonstrated that the antioxidant activity was consistently highest in the ethyl acetate extracts of Piper hymenophyllum leaf, fruit and stem across all assays.

Development and Physicochemical Evaluation of Aceclofenac-Loaded Emulgel
type: item
description: The emulgel formulation has emerged as one of the most efficient and effective strategies for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs. Emulgels represent a hybrid dosage form that combines the characteristics of both emulsions and gels. Owing to this dual property, they enhance the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, thereby improving their bioavailability, while also offering a patient-friendly approach to topical drug delivery. In this study, aceclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) derived from diclofenac, was selected as the model drug. Being a BCS class II compound (low solubility and high permeability), aceclofenac is well-suited for formulation as an emulgel, where even smaller doses can achieve therapeutic efficacy in topical applications. Two different gelling agents, carbomer 934 and HPMC K4M, were used separately at a concentration of 1% w/w to prepare the emulgels. Linseed oil served as the penetration enhancer. The prepared formulations were evaluated for rheological properties, pH, and in vitro drug release profile. The findings revealed that the emulgel prepared with carbomer 934 exhibited a superior drug release profile compared to the formulation containing HPMC K4M. These results suggest that carbomer 934 is a more suitable gelling agent for the development of aceclofenac emulgel formulations, providing enhanced drug release and potentially better therapeutic outcomes.

Development and In-Vitro Characterization of a Personalized, pH-Responsive Polypill for Dual-Drug Delivery via Multi-Material FDM 3D Printing
type: item
description: This study explores the development of a personalized polypill designed to deliver two drugs with distinct, pH-sensitive release profiles using multi-material 3D printing via fused deposition modeling (FDM). The aim was to engineer a single tablet capable of releasing each drug independently at its intended site within the gastrointestinal tract. To achieve this, two drug-loaded filaments were prepared through hot-melt extrusion (HME). One filament, intended for immediate release, incorporated paracetamol within a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. The other, designed for enteric release, embedded mesalazine in Eudragit L100. These filaments were used to print a core-shell tablet, with the mesalazine-containing core fully enclosed by the paracetamol-based shell. The printed tablets were evaluated for their physical integrity, chemical composition, and drug release behavior. In vitro dissolution testing was conducted using a USP Apparatus II paddle system, simulating gastrointestinal conditions through a pH-shift protocol—starting with 0.1N hydrochloric acid for two hours, followed by a phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. Results showed that the extrusion process produced filaments with uniform drug distribution and excellent printability. The tablets demonstrated high dimensional accuracy and allowed for precise, customizable dosing. During dissolution, the outer shell released over 95% of paracetamol rapidly in the acidic phase, while the mesalazine core remained intact. Upon transitioning to the neutral pH environment, the enteric coating dissolved, enabling a complete and controlled release of mesalazine. Overall, the findings highlight the promise of multi-material FDM 3D printing in fabricating sophisticated, pH-responsive polypills. This approach offers a viable pathway for creating patient-specific combination therapies with tailored dosing and release kinetics, potentially transforming personalized medicine.

Antidiabetic Efficacy of Diosmetin-Loaded Phytosomes in STZ-Induced Diabetic Rats
type: item
description: Diabetes mellitus is a long-standing metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and disturbed carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism due to impaired insulin secretion or peripheral insulin resistance. A flavonoid, diosmetin, possesses excellent biological activities but is limited in clinical use because it has poor aqueous solubility, low permeability, and significant first-pass metabolism, which leads to low oral bioavailability. To overcome these limitations, a phytosomatically formulated diosmetin was designed to maximize its bioavailability and antidiabetic effects. The current research involves the successful loading of diosmetin (DS) into a phytosomal entity by the formation of bond between the soya phosphatidylcholine and diosmetin in various molar ratios. Successfully prepared DS phytosomes through complexation with phospholipids and they were characterized by physicochemical, chromatography, spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies. In vivo studies using streptozotocin which induced diabetes in albino rats, and compared the results against pure DS alone. The antidiabetic potential of DS phytosomes evaluated by an in vivo study revealed a significant decrease in the levels of blood glucose in the DS phytosomes-treated group as compared to plain DS. The above-mentioned results showed that the antidiabetic potency of DS was enhanced in phytosomes as compared to DS. This research points to phytosomal encapsulation as a powerful approach to enhance the solubility, bioavailability and therapeutic interest of diosmetin and presents a worthy method for the improvement in pharmacokinetics in other poorly soluble flavonoids.

Muscle Wasting: Molecular Mechanisms and Promising Therapies
type: item
description: Muscle atrophy, often known as muscle wasting, is a severe disorder marked by a decrease of skeletal muscle mass and strength. It occurs in various pathological states, including chronic kidney disease, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and heart failure, as well as during extended periods inactivity or aging. Muscle wasting is caused by an imbalance between the production and degradation of proteins, and important regulators including the autophagy-lysosomal pathway, ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), and inflammatory cytokines are crucial in this process. Muscle homeostasis is regulated by important signaling pathways, such as the Akt/mTOR and NF-κB pathways. Furthermore, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction make muscle deterioration worse. By focusing on these molecular pathways, new treatment approaches seek to prevent muscle wasting. Preclinical and clinical investigations have demonstrated the potential of pharmacological treatments, including myostatin inhibitors, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anabolic agents, as well as nutritional therapies and regular exercise. New approaches to muscle regeneration are provided by emerging medicines such as RNA-based methods, gene editing, and stem cell therapy. This study examines the complex molecular processes causing muscle wasting and identifies effective treatment approaches meant to maintain muscular mass and function. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for developing effective treatments that enhance the quality of life for those affected.

Dissecting the Overlaps: An Integrative Review of Asperger Syndrome in the Context of Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and Social Communication Disorders
type: item
description: Background: Asperger Syndrome (AS) was historically recognized as a distinct diagnosis but was subsumed under autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the DSM-5. This reclassification has raised important questions regarding overlaps and distinctions among AS, ASD, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Social Communication Disorder (SCD). Understanding these intersections is critical for improving diagnostic accuracy, guiding interventions, and advancing research. Objectives: This review aims to (1) clarify the diagnostic boundaries between AS, ASD, ADHD, and SCD, (2) highlight challenges in comorbidity and differential diagnosis, and (3) discuss implications for clinical practice and research. Methods: A narrative integrative review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted, focusing on diagnostic frameworks, symptomatic overlaps, neurocognitive profiles, neurobiological underpinnings, comorbidities, and clinical outcomes. Comparative tables were developed to summarize shared and unique features across disorders. Results: Findings indicate significant overlap in social interaction difficulties, pragmatic communication deficits, and executive dysfunction across AS, ASD, ADHD, and SCD. However, unique markers—such as restricted/repetitive behaviors (ASD/AS), inattention and hyperactivity (ADHD), and isolated pragmatic language deficits (SCD)—aid in differentiation. Comorbidity, particularly between ASD/AS and ADHD, is common and often leads to misdiagnosis or diagnostic overshadowing. Neurobiological studies suggest both shared and distinct pathways, with converging evidence from genetics, brain connectivity, and neurochemistry. Conclusions: An integrative, dimensional approach is needed to refine diagnostic frameworks and intervention strategies. Future research should prioritize longitudinal, transdiagnostic studies and biomarker development, while clinical practice must emphasize multi-dimensional assessments and individualized care.

Nutritional Strategies for Enhancing Neurological Function: A Diet-Based Approach to Cognitive Health
type: item
description: The human brain, despite constituting only 2% of body weight, consumes approximately 20% of the body's energy, underscoring its reliance on adequate nutrition for optimal function. Emerging evidence highlights the profound impact of diet on cognitive health, with specific nutrients and dietary patterns influencing neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity, and neuroinflammation. This review explores the role of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and micronutrients (omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, vitamins) in supporting brain health, emphasizing their ability to mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation, key contributors to neurodegenerative diseases. Dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean and ketogenic diets are examined for their neuroprotective benefits, including improved cognitive performance and reduced risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Additionally, the gut-brain axis is discussed as a critical pathway through which diet modulates brain function, with prebiotics, probiotics, and fiber-rich foods promoting a balanced microbiome and reducing neuroinflammation. This paper underscores the importance of personalized nutrition strategies in optimizing cognitive health and preventing neurological disorders, offering a comprehensive overview of diet-based approaches to enhance neurological function.

Formulation and Evaluation of Fast Dissolving Oral Film of Lisinopril
type: item
description: The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of fast-dissolving oral films of Lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used for the management of hypertension. Fast-dissolving films offer several advantages over conventional oral dosage forms, such as ease of administration, enhanced patient compliance, and rapid drug release. Various formulation strategies were employed, including the use of different polymers and excipients to optimize the film's mechanical properties, disintegration time, drug release profile, and stability. The films were prepared using a solvent-casting method and evaluated for appearance, thickness, weight, folding endurance, tensile strength, disintegration time, moisture content, and assay. Formulation F7 showed the best performance, with a rapid disintegration time of 32 seconds, excellent mechanical properties, and a high cumulative drug release (98.89%) at 10 minutes. The in-vitro drug release profile of F7 followed the Peppas model with a non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. Stability studies indicated minimal changes in drug content over a 3-month period, confirming the stability of the optimized formulation. These findings suggest that F7 could serve as a promising fast-dissolving oral film for the delivery of lisinopril, offering a patient-friendly and efficient alternative to conventional tablets.

Isolation and Identification of Novel Anti-Diabetic Compounds from Parthenium hysterophorus with Potential Anti-Diabetic Value
type: item
description: The global burden of diabetes mellitus continues to escalate, underscoring the urgent need for safer, cost-effective, and mechanism-driven therapeutic alternatives. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and characterize novel anti-diabetic compounds from Parthenium hysterophorus, an ethnomedicinal plant known for its traditional use in managing hyperglycemia. Successive Soxhlet extraction was performed using chloroform, methanol, and water. Preliminary phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids and polyphenols across all extracts, with the methanolic extract exhibiting the richest phytoconstituent profile. Bioactivity-guided fractionation via column chromatography led to the isolation of a prominent bioactive fraction (F4), which was subjected to structural elucidation using UV-Vis, FTIR, ¹H NMR, GC-MS, and HPLC. Spectral analyses revealed that the compound was Parthenin, a sesquiterpene lactone bearing characteristic γ-lactone and hydroxyl functionalities. FTIR confirmed key groups (C=O, C=C, –OH), while NMR data supported a pseudoguaianolide skeleton. GC-MS identified several other supportive bioactives including β-sitosterol, phytol, and caryophyllene oxide. HPTLC and HPLC fingerprinting validated the chemical consistency and purity of the isolated compound. In vitro α-amylase inhibition assays demonstrated potent anti-diabetic activity, with the methanolic extract achieving 74.2% inhibition at 100 µg/mL, closely approaching the efficacy of standard Acarbose (84.5%). These results affirm Parthenium hysterophorus as a viable natural source of anti-diabetic agents, with Parthenin as a promising lead molecule.

title: Therapeutic Promise and Toxicological Concerns of Tea and Coffee Consumption: A Systematic Evaluation of Their Roles in Cancer Prevention, Cardiovascular Protection, and Age-Related Degenerative Diseases
description: Tea and coffee are among the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, offering not only sensory enjoyment but also potential health benefits due to their rich content of bioactive compounds such as catechins, chlorogenic acids, and caffeine. This review systematically evaluates their dual role—both therapeutic and toxicological—highlighting their contributions to cancer prevention, cardiovascular health, and the mitigation of age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence from epidemiological studies, in vitro and in vivo research, and clinical trials suggests that tea and coffee exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities through diverse mechanisms, including modulation of gene expression and cellular signaling pathways. However, excessive consumption or poor processing methods can lead to adverse effects such as caffeine toxicity, iron malabsorption, and exposure to contaminants like acrylamide and mycotoxins. Factors such as beverage type, preparation method, genetic polymorphisms, and lifestyle significantly influence the risk–benefit profile. Comparative analysis underscores the importance of individualized consumption strategies. The review also identifies research gaps, especially in long-term randomized controlled trials and bioavailability studies, to better understand the health implications of tea and coffee intake.

Hematological Impact of Next-Generation PFAS: Evaluation of Coagulation Parameters and Hemostatic Changes in Mice
type: item
description: Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including next-generation alternatives like GenX and PFBS, are persistent environmental contaminants with emerging evidence of hematological toxicity. While extensively studied for hepatotoxicity and endocrine disruption, their effects on blood coagulation and hemostatic systems remain underexplored. Objective: This review aims to evaluate the impact of next-generation PFAS on coagulation parameters and hemostatic changes in murine models, and to assess their clinical and environmental relevance to human health. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted on studies involving mice exposed to emerging PFAS. Key parameters assessed included prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), fibrinogen levels, platelet counts, and associated molecular mechanisms. Results: Next-generation PFAS, though structurally distinct from legacy compounds, exhibit notable hematological alterations in mice, including prolonged coagulation times and decreased fibrinogen levels. These findings have translational relevance, particularly for populations exposed to contaminated environments. However, gaps in chronic exposure data, biomarker identification, and regulatory consistency remain significant. Conclusion: Next-generation PFAS may pose a hematotoxic risk comparable to or exceeding that of legacy PFAS. Future studies should focus on elucidating mechanisms, validating sensitive biomarkers, and integrating these effects into public health risk assessments.

A Comparative overview of Older Vs Newer Antiepileptic Medications (AEDs)
type: item
description: For many years, antiepileptic medications (AEDs) have been the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Although they are well-established in clinical practice, older AEDs like phenytoin, carbamazepine, and valproate have a number of limitations. These include complex pharmacokinetic interactions brought on by enzyme stimulation, a greater risk of teratogenicity, bone loss, and neuropsychiatric adverse effects. On the other hand, more recent AEDs with better safety profiles include levetiracetam, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, and lacosamide. They are less likely to cause drug-drug interactions, have fewer negative effects on cognition and psychiatry, and are typically better tolerated. These benefits make them especially appropriate for older people and those who need polypharmacy due to comorbidities. Newer AEDs frequently have higher prices and less long-term safety evidence, despite these advantages. For example, levetiracetam is an effective medication, but dosing tactics might affect its acceptability; slower titration and lower doses reduce adverse effects.

Formulation and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Cream of Lavandula bipinnata, Nigella sativa, and Cynodon dactylon
type: item
description: The present study aimed to formulate and evaluate an antimicrobial cream utilizing plant extracts of Lavandula bipinnata, Nigella sativa, and Cynodon dactylon. The formulation process involved thorough phytochemical screening, chromatographic profiling (TLC and HPLC), and FTIR spectroscopy to confirm the presence of key bioactive constituents, including flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, and alkaloids. Extraction yields were notably high in the aqueous extracts—12.3% (L. bipinnata), 10.2% (N. sativa), and 11.5% (C. dactylon)—indicating a rich content of hydrophilic phytochemicals. The cream formulations (F1-F5) were evaluated for pH, viscosity, spreadability, and thermal stability, with the polyherbal formulation (F5) showing optimal pH (6.10), higher viscosity (6175 cps), and excellent spreadability (95%). Antimicrobial activity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method against Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., revealing that F5 exhibited the highest activity against E. coli (zone of inhibition: 7 mm), while minimal activity was observed against Salmonella spp. (1 mm). Compared to standard antibiotics (streptomycin: 7–6 mm; tetracycline: 9–10 mm), the polyherbal cream demonstrated promising potential against E. coli. These findings suggest that the synergistic combination of these plant extracts in a topical formulation holds promise as a natural alternative for the treatment of skin infections caused by E. coli, though further optimization is needed for broader-spectrum efficacy.

Application of Machine Learning to Identify Molecular Descriptors Influencing Viscosity in Concentrated Therapeutic Antibodies
type: item
description: The viscosity of concentrated therapeutic antibodies affects how easily we can make, store, and give them to patients. This study combines machine learning with experimental and computational methods. It aims to find the molecular descriptors that affect viscosity changes in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We analyzed key descriptors like charge distribution, hydrophobicity, and solvent-accessible surface areas. This was done using molecular dynamics simulations and predictive modeling. Experimental viscosity data at high concentrations were combined with advanced algorithms. Decision tree classifiers helped uncover nonlinear relationships between structural properties and viscosity. The machine learning model showed impressive results. It had a predictive accuracy of 94.3%. Its precision was 92.8%, and recall reached 96.1%. This model outperformed old rule-based methods. Key terms like SCM, N_phobic_Fv, and CSP were found to greatly influence viscosity trends. These findings give important insights into how physicochemical factors affect mAb viscosity. They also provide a strong base for early antibody screening and improving formulations. This study highlights how machine learning can improve biopharmaceutical development. It helps design therapeutic antibodies that are easier to manufacture and better for patients. Future research will aim to expand datasets. It will also add more molecular descriptors. This will help refine predictive models.
