Autoimmune disease is increasing widely, and the biologicals in autoimmune disease play a vital role in the cure. Biologicals have an affinity to bind the specific target molecule and suppress inflammation. The different biologicals are used to treat various autoimmune diseases by preventing the cytokines from unlocking cells and causing inflammation. Each biologic targets a different cytokine. The common classes of biologic that Read More

The Cannabinoid (CB) signalling cascade is widely located in the human body and is associated with several pathophysiological processes. The endocannabinoid system comprises cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, which belong to G-protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). CB1 receptors are primarily located on nerve terminals, prohibiting neurotransmitter release, whereas CB2 are present predominantly on immune cells, ca Read More

Titanocene dichloride and budotitane have opened a new chapter in medicinal chemistry of titanium(IV) complexes being novel non-platinum antitumor metallic agents. Numerous efforts have led to the discovery of the diamino bis-phenolato titanium(IV) complexes. Among which, the [ONNO] and [ONON] type ligands namely Salan, Salen and Salalen coordinated titanium(IV) alkoxyl complexes have demonstrated signifi Read More

Bacteria cells exhibit multidrug resistance in one of two ways: by raising the genetic expression of multidrug efflux pumps or by accumulating several drug-resistant components in many genes. Multidrug-resistive tuberculosis bacteria are treated by multidrug therapy, where a few certain antibacterial drugs are administered together to kill a bacterium jointly. A major drawback of conventional multidrug therapy is that the Read More

Background: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are primarily caused by Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus spp., Mucor spp., Sporothrix spp., and Pneumocystis spp., which attack human organs with a strong pathogenicity and exhibit drug resistance against commonly used chemical drugs. Therefore, the search for alternative drugs with high efficacy, low resistance rates, few side effects, and synergisti Read More
