Over the period of the preceding decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has proved an outstanding performance in entire dimensions of science including pharmaceutical sciences. AI uses the concept of machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and neural networks (NNs) approaches for novel algorithm and hypothesis development by training the machines in multiple ways. AI-based drug development from molecule iden Read More

When compared to the challenges associated with traditional dosage forms, medication delivery systems based on nanotechnology have been a huge boon. One such candidate for medication delivery is spanlastics, an elastic nanovesicle that can transport a diverse array of medicinal compounds. The use of spanlastics has been associated with an increase in interest in alternative administration methods. The non-ionic Read More

Background: Cannabidiol (CBD) is the principal non-hallucinogenic compound of Cannabis plants with high clinical interest because CBD has been described as having anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anticonvulsant properties. CBD is considered a multitarget compound as it can interact with a wide range of targets, explaining their multiplicity of effects. Some clinical studies have indicated certain side effects of CBD, including s Read More

Background: Neuroinflammation is the pathological basis of many neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. Hua-Feng-Dan (HFD) is a well-established traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for centuries to treat stroke and various other brain-related ailments. Objective: Our study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which HFD mitigates neuroinflammation by combining net Read More

Background: In recent years, the incidence and prevalence of Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) have been increasing. Zhuling Decoction (ZLD), a classical Chinese medicine, has been clinically proven to be effective for the treatment of NS. However, its underlying mechanism and pharmacodynamic substances remain unclear. Objective: This study aimed to explore the mechanism of action and chemical components of ZLD against N Read More

Introduction: A sustained release system for losartan potassium designed to delay its residence time in the stomach through the preparation of solvent evaporation technique-based floating microspheres. The influence of the different grades of Ethocel™ such as 4 cps, 10 cps, and 22 cps as well as the drug: polymer ratio on various properties of microspheres were tested. Methods: Thermal and functional analysis revealed n Read More
