Candida albicans is a human pathogen that part of the healthy microbiome. However, it often associated with opportunistic fungal infections. The treatment these infections challenging because prolonged exposure to antifungal drugs can culminate in resistance during therapy, and there limited number available drugs. Therefore, this study investigated activity ononin by silico vitro assays, Tenebrio molitor as an alternative vivo model infection caused C. albicans. Ononin isoflavone glycoside...

Pharmacological treatment of osteoarthritis is still inadequate due to the low efficacy drugs used. Dexmedetomidine via intra-articular (i.a.) route might be an option for osteoarthritis-associated pain. The present study assessed analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects dexmedetomidine administered i.a. in different doses experimental model rat knee induced with monosodium iodoacetate. Rats were allocated four groups 24 animals each group. OA (osteoarthritis), DEX-1 (dexmedetomidine dose...
