Flavonoids are a structurally diverse class of plant-derived polyphenolic compounds widely recognized for their pleiotropic biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. In oncology, these compounds have dem...
This study aimed to determine the absolute bioavailability of quercetin and quantitatively evaluate its pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) relationship regarding acute glucose-lowering effects in normoglycemic and alloxan-induced diabetic...
Flavone–thiazole–aryl hybrid molecules based on 6-aminoflavone and 5-arylidene-4-aminothiazol-2(5H)-ones were synthesized and subjected to physicochemical and biological studies. Microwave-assisted synthesis was performed in two steps. Fi...
A series of substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro against two protozoan parasites: Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Pharmacological studies revealed antiprotozoal activity with IC5...
Symptoms of respiratory tract infections (RTI) caused by viral or bacterial triggers include sore throat and cough. Plantago lanceolata (ribwort plantain) is used in herbal medicine to treat symptoms of RTI. This study evaluated the pharmacological a...
The cornea and conjunctiva are particularly susceptible to injury and adverse effects, either induced by topically applied drugs or excipients used in ophthalmic formulations. Surfactants and cosurfactants are important for producing topical eye form...
Obtaining amorphous forms of drugs is one of the ways to increase bioavailability. This is especially important for active pharmaceutical ingredients belonging to class II and IV according to the biopharmaceutical classification. These compounds incl...
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (CP-AgNPs) using Calotropis procera (CP) offers a sustainable approach to producing multifunctional therapeutic nanomaterials. This study aimed to synthesize CP-AgNPs and evaluate their antimicrobial, antioxida...
Hypertension remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) represents a central therapeutic target within the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. Marine microalgae, particularly Phaeo...
The present study aimed to establish a robustness modeling framework for the determination of cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis extract using a multivariate approach. A two-level full factorial design was implement...
The pharmaceutical development of cannabis-based medicinal products is challenged by significant variability in the quality, composition, and standardization of plant-derived active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In Ukraine, despite recent legisl...
Thiazolyl-benzene/camphor sulfonamide derivatives (series 4a–k, 5a–j and 6a–i) were synthesized by reaction of various aryl sulfonyl chlorides and camphor sulfonyl chlorides with 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole. The compounds were evaluate...
Background/Objectives: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a major global health challenge, exacerbated by the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains and limited efficacy of existing therapies. Given the involvement of...
Historically, pharmaceutical formulation development relied heavily on trial-and-error experimentation, which was useful for empirical progress but often provided limited mechanistic understanding and insufficient efficiency for increasingly complex...
Alkyn-1,2-diones have gained great attention as useful building blocks in organic synthesis. Regioselective synthetic routes towards 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles, containing the methylfuroyl or diterpenylfuroyl moiety at the C-3 or C-5 position from...
Qin Bing eye drops, a traditional Chinese medicine-based in-hospital preparation, were historically indicated for the treatment of conjunctivitis, keratitis, and photokeratitis. This study aimed to develop Qin Pi extract (QP-E) using a proprietary ex...
Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) represent a major public health concern due to their impact on patient safety. In Spain, the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices, through the FEDRA database, coordinates the reporting of suspected ADRs under...
The usefulness of ChatGPT, a large language model, has recently been explored in medical research. However, no studies have examined its reproducibility or applicability to therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), a core task of clinical pharmacists. In th...
Background: Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Discovery of small molecules as anticancer agents is an active area of research, as these molecules possess the remarkable ability to interact with specific targets within cancer cells. Ob...
Improving the dissolution and solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs remains a major challenge in drug development. Solid dispersion (SD) techniques offer an effective strategy by which to enhance the bioavailability of BCS Class II drugs such as i...
This research aimed to develop glycerol–gelatin vaginal suppositories loaded with melatonin to enhance the localized effects of antineoplastic agents. The solubility of melatonin in different solvents was determined, and glycofurol, which is ap...
The development of novel antiepileptic agents requires early identification of pharmacokinetic limitations to mitigate risks at later stages. This study aimed to perform in silico profiling of a library containing 448 novel 2H,5H-chromeno[4’,3&...
Taxanes, such as paclitaxel and docetaxel, are microtubule-stabilizing agents widely used in oncology, either as monotherapy or in combination regimens. While highly effective, these first-generation taxanes face important limitations, including sign...
Children are often underserved by adult-oriented oral medicines, leading to off-label use and dosage-form manipulation that may compromise dosing accuracy. This review summarises recent advances in paediatric orodispersible tablets (ODTs), focusing o...
Kalanchoe daigremontiana, a succulent herbaceous plant in the Crassulaceae family from Madagascar, has gained global popularity as an ornamental and medicinal species. This review examines the traditional uses, phytochemical composition, biological p...
Quercetin, one of the most abundant flavonoids in nature, has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its chemical and biological properties. A series of metal–quercetin complexes (Cu2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Sn2+, Al3+, Cd2+ and Mg2+) were sy...
