The rationale of the current investigation was to develop a microemulsion based gel in the treatment of Psoriasis. The study consisted of Preformulation studies, Analytical method development studies, Formulation and characterization studies, Drug release studies and stability study. On the basis of results of solubility studies in different oils, surfactants and co-surfactants, tween 20 used as surfactant, IPA as co-surfactant and limonene as oil were chosen for the study. Pseudo ternary phase diagrams in different ratios of oils, S mix and water were developed, and 3:1 is suitable for preparation of MBG. On the basis of transparency, centrifugation, pH, globule size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, conductivity, thermodynamic stability, TEM, Dye solubility test and dilution test, formulation ME 2 batch was selected as an optimized formulation for designing Microemulsion. The pH of the formulations was found to vary between 6.26 and 6.79, a near neutral range which is ideal for topical applications. The Transmission electron microscopy of dimethyl fumarate loaded microemulsion showed a nanosized (70.31 nm) and spherical shape. The optimized batch has (-11.1) mV zeta potential, which indicates stable Microemulsion. From the stability study, we conclude that none of the Microemulsion systems showed signs of phase separation on centrifugation and freeze thaw cycle, so we conclude that the optimized batch was robust enough. The optimised ME 2 batch of dimethyl fumarate microemulsion was further incorporated in gel using aloe vera as moisturizing agent, carbopol as gelling agent. The pH of MBG was acceptable for the topical delivery system.

In recent time Club is become a main place of crimes like rape, murder, robbery, etc in metro cities. These types of social crimes are done mostly by using the newly invented medicines. Club crimes are type of assaults where the victim and the offender are in, or have been in, some form of personal social relationship, ranging from a first get together to an established relationship. Club drugs can incapacitate a person for a period of time and cause memory loss. These drugs may be colorless and odorless; their taste is easily masked. They may be in liquid form or dissolve easily in liquid. After ingestion, effects can occur immediately or within 15 to 30 minutes. The drugs described here are often called “date rape drugs” because they quickly increase a person’s vulnerability to sexual assault

Inflammation, oxidation, and compromised immunity all increase the dangers of COVID-19, whereas many pharmaceutical protocols may lead to increased immunity such as ingesting from sources containing vitamin E and zinc. A global search for natural remedies to fight COVID-19 has emerged, to assist in the treatment of this infamous coronavirus. Nigella satvia is a world-renowned plant, an esteemed herbal remedy, which can be used as a liquid medicine to increase immunity while decreasing the dangers of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Thymoqinone (TQ), dithymoqinone (DTQ) and thymohydroquinone (THQ), are major compounds of the essential oil contained in N. sativa. A current study aims to discover the antiviral activity of two compounds, Thymohydroquinone and Dithymoquinone, which are synthesized through simple chemical procedures, deriving from thymoquinone, which happens to be a major compound of Nigella sativa. A half-maximal cytotoxic con-centration, “CC50”, was calculated by MTT assay for each individual drug, The sample showed anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity at non-cytotoxic nanomolar concentrations in vitro with a low selectivity index (CC50/IC50 = 31.74/23.15 = 1.4), whereby Dimthymoquinone shows high cytotoxicity.

X-ray crystallography molecular replacement (MR) is a highly versatile tool for the detailed characterization of lead compound and binding modes in the pharmaceutical industry. The two major limitations of its application to drug research are (i) the availability of a similar protein structure, and (ii) obtaining well-diffracting crystals of the ligand-protein complexes of interest. While nowadays the first point is often not a limitation anymore, obtaining well-diffracting crystals might be difficult. In such situations structure determination of protein-ligand complexes by liquid-state NMR is a good option. Unfortunately, the established standard structure determination protocol is in general time-consuming, and a shortcut using available structural data as in the case of MR in X-ray crystallography is not available.Here, we present NMR2(NMR Molecular Replacement), a MR-like approach in NMR to determine the structures of the binding pockets of ligands at atomic resolution. The calculation of structures of protein-ligand complexes relies on the collection of unassigned semi-quantitative inter-molecular NOE distance restraints and on previously solved structures.[

Marinomycins are polyene antibiotic isolated from marine microbe (Marinispora CNQ-140) with high activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) known to be the causative organisms for most infectious diseases. In dim light Marinomycin A isomerizes to Marinomycin B and Marinomycin C with lesser potency against MRSA and VREF. Understanding the Marinomycins biogenetic gene cluster (BGC) has been a difficult task due to their large sizes and high GC content which makes the cluster susceptible to re-arrangement. Transformation of Streptomyces lividans by construct containing the cluster and heterologously expressing the encoded biogenetic cluster aided the production of Marinomycins.

Bile acids (BAs) are a family of steroids synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. Among bile acids, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the drug of choice for treating primary biliary cirrhosis and dissolving cholesterol gallstones. The clinical effectiveness of UDCA includes its choleretic ac tivity, the capability to inhibit hydrophobic bile acid absorption by the intestine under cholestatic conditions, reducing cholangiocyte injury, stimulation of impaired biliary output, and inhibition of hepatocyte apoptosis. Despite its clinical effectiveness, UDCA is poorly soluble in the gastro-duo deno-jejunal contents, and pharmacological doses of UDCA are not readily soluble in the stomach and intestine, resulting in incomplete absorption. Indeed, the solubility of 20 mg/L greatly limits the bioavailability of UDCA. Since the bioavailability of drug products plays a critical role in the design of oral administration dosages, we investigated the enzymatic esterification of UDCA as a strategy of hydrophilization
