BackgroundThe creation and development of novel chemical entities is made possible by numerous computer-aided drug design techniques. The ability to visualize the ligand-target interaction and forecast the important holding pocket locations and affinities of ligands to their intended macromolecules is made possible by pharmacophore-based drug design and understanding in-silico methodologies.ObjectiveThe aim of Read More

Tezepelumab is a first-in-class human IgG2λ monoclonal antibody used to treat severe, uncontrolled asthma. Tezepelumab acts by hindering the action of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), an epithelial-derived cytokine that triggers an immunological response by binding to TSLP and thereby preventing its binding with the TSLP receptor complex. TSLP has a critical role in Th2 immunity and plays an important role in th Read More

At present, there is a growing interest among researchers in studying the structure and function of the bee brain in relation to their cognitive behavior. The bee brain, despite its small size of approximately 1 million neurons, is known for its ability to facilitate effective communication and collaboration. Just like humans, the bee brain is also controlled by biogenic amines like dopamine, serotonin and tyramine, octopamine, Read More

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a compounded, persistent illness symbolized by an increased range of glucose levels in the blood caused by cellular resistance to insulin action, insufficient insulin production by pancreatic -cells, or both. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), the extremely widespread form of DM, is recorded for almost 85-90% of worldwide cases. T2DM is mostly common in middle-aged and older people, and its cause Read More

The pharmaceutical industry is witnessing a growing demand for complex generic products, which are generic versions of drugs that possess complex formulations, delivery systems, or active ingredients. However, the approval process for these complex generic products poses unique challenges compared to traditional generics. There is no specific regulatory procedure available for the approval of complex generics, u Read More

AimThis review has examined and organized the available research on dementia medication care costs. Although the accessible database in this area is growing and is still quite limited, there are many clear scientific methods.ObjectiveThe use of Memantine, a non-competitive antagonist with low to moderate affinity for the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, has been approved for the treatment of mild to moderately sev Read More

The cellular and biochemical stages of the wound-healing process are interrelated and work to repair the wound. The body heals wounds in stages, and each stage that is postponed raises the risk of microbial infection. The time needed for healing can be sped up, and unwanted events can be reduced to improve wound healing. To aid in the healing of the wounds, the medications are administered locally or systemically. In orde Read More
