Our study aims to evaluate the bioactivity of Nitophyllum marginale extracts obtained using methanol and chloroform solvents. We focus on analyzing the phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, and antidiabetic potential of seaweed extract Read More

Background: Hyperglycemia triggers mitochondrial dysfunction in chondrocytes, potentially contributing to cell damage and the onset of osteoarthritis. Objective: This study is undertaken with the objective of examining the protective properties of melatonin against toxicity induced by high glucose in C28I2 human chondrocytes. Methods: To determine non-cytotoxic concentrations of melatonin, various concentrations (1 Read More

Background: The current research aimed to create and analyze a new long-acting Brexpiprazole (BRX) injectable for successful anti-psychotic drug therapy in order to decrease dosage frequency and increase patient compliance. Systems for drug transport to particular body sites or regulating release rates with accuracy are known as drug delivery systems (DDS). By affixing the drug to a carrier particle like liposomes, nanoparti Read More

Background: Bacillus species create several kinds of metabolites, which contain cyclic lipopeptide-type antibiotics, consisting of three major families: fengycin, surfactin, and iturin. Iturin demonstrates powerful biocontrol characteristics and can restrain the growth of a diversity of plant fungal pathogens. Objective: The current study investigates the identification of iturin A from Bacillus atrophaeus using HPLC and Mass s Read More

Background: Recent research has revealed promising antibacterial action for thienopyrimidines. To comprehend the underlying molecular features underlying their antibacterial potency, a thorough quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) investigation is required. Objectives: In order to clarify the structural parameters for effective antibacterial activity, we conducted QSAR analyses on a variety of thienopyrimidines in thi Read More
