Medicinal plants of Cucurbitaceae family consist of several edible fruits and vegetables consumed worldwide since ancient times. The plants of this family have played an essential role in the ethnopharmacological as well as traditional medicinal system globally and their evidence is well established in several traditional literatures. Various plant...
The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via green synthesis approach using Euporbia serpens Kunth aqueous extract. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy and Furrier Transformer Infra-Red spectroscopy to justify the reduction and stabilization of AgNPs from its precursors. AgNPs characteristic absorption peak ...

Extending from the triple wave epidemic of opioid-related overdose deaths, a fourth wave of high mortality involving methamphetamine and cocaine use has been gathering force. This article provides a review of the published literature on stimulants including epidemiology, pharmacology, neurobiology, medical and psychiatric consequences, withdrawal m...
Sumatriptan (ST) is a commonly prescribed drug for treating migraine. The efficiency of several routes of ST administration has been investigated. Recently, the intranasal route with different delivery systems has gained interest owing to its fast-acting and effectiveness. The present study is aimed at reviewing the available studies on novel deliv...

Signaling pathways are frequently activated through signal-receiving membrane proteins, and the discovery of small molecules targeting these receptors may yield insights into their biology. However, due to their intrinsic properties, membrane protein targets often cannot be identified by means of established approaches, in particular affinity-based...

Ocular anterior segment inflammation is a medical problem that is seen in cases of cataract surgery and non-infectious anterior uveitis. Inadequately treated anterior segment inflammation can lead to sight-threatening conditions such as corneal oedema, glaucoma and cystoid macular oedema. The mainstay of treatment for anterior segment inflammation ...

Glycogen Storage Disease 1a (Gsd1a) is an inherited disorder caused by glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase-α) deficiency and characterized by hypoglycaemia and high risk of liver cancer. Here the authors develop a mRNA-based G6Pase-α delivery therapy that is efficacious and safe in a mouse model of GSD1a.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are new antidiabetic drugs that reduce hyperglycemia by inhibiting the glucose reabsorption in renal proximal tubules. Clinical studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors not only improve glycemic control but also reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, cardiovascular and total mortality, fa...

Antibody-Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOCs) represent an emerging class of functionalized antibodies that have already been used in a wide variety of applications. While the impact of dye and drug conjugation on antibodies’ ability to bind their target has been extensively studied, little is known about the effect caused by the conjugation of hydrop...
