Topical drug delivery is preferable route over systemic in case of Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Among the available agents, amphotericin B (AmB) and pentamidine (PTM) showed promising result against CL. However, monotherapy associated with incidences reoccurrence resistance. Combination therapy therefore recommended. Thin film hydration method was employed for B-pentamidine loaded niosomes (AmB-PTM-NIO) preparation followed by their incorporation into chitosan gel. The optimization...

Background: Ovarian cancer, colloquially termed the “silent killer” among gynecological malignancies, remains elusive due to its often-asymptomatic progression and diagnostic challenges. Central pathogenesis is overactive PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, responsible for various cellular functions, from proliferation survival. Within this context, phytochemical compounds mangiferin (derived Mangifera indica ) curcumin (from Curcuma longa stand out their potential modulatory effects. However,...

ABSTRACT In this study, a sensitive and selective spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of antidiabetic drug nateglinide based on its reaction with xanthene dye acid red 87 (AR87). A fluorescence quenching process observed AR87 at 545 nm upon addition nateglinide, which exploited quantitative analysis. The mechanism investigated using quantum mechanical calculations suggesting transfer between electron‐rich electron‐deficient nateglinide. Additionally, stoichiometry...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was synthesized from fresh garlic extract coupled with isoniazid hydrazide (INH), a commonly used antibiotic to treat tuberculosis. A molecular docking study conducted the selected compounds compared anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase (trpD) Mycobacterium The aqueous prepared and mixed nitrate (AgNO3) solution for superfast stable AgNPs. INH then conjugated AgNPs at different ratios (v/v) obtain INH-AgNPs conjugates (AgNCs). resulting AgNCs...

The rapid spread of a novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 has compelled the entire world to seek ways weaken this virus, prevent its and also eliminate it. However, no drug been approved treat COVID-19. Furthermore, receptor-binding domain (RBD) on viral spike protein, well several other important parts have recently undergone mutations, resulting in new virus variants. While treatment is currently available, naturally derived molecule with antiviral properties could be used potential...

Ebola virus disease (EVD) causes outbreaks and epidemics in West Africa that persist until today. The envelope glycoprotein of (GP) consists two subunits, GP1 GP2, plays a key role anchoring or fusing the to host cell its active form on virion surface. Toremifene (TOR) is ligand mainly acts as an estrogen receptor antagonist; however, recent study showed strong efficient interaction with GP. In this context, we aimed evaluate energetic affinity features involved between GP toremifene by...
