Background: Cardiometabolic syndromes are the co-occurrence of metabolic abnormalities such as obesity, insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Cardiometabolic disorders includes type2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders are growing in epidemic proportions all over the world; hence cardiometabolic d...
In organic chemistry, the largest families of organic compounds belong in the heterocyclic compounds. In our daily life, the importance of heterocyclic compounds is very essential. It has a broad range of applications in medicinal chemistry. Benzotriazole is a bicyclic heterocyclic system consisting of three nitrogen atoms and a fused benzene ring, shows wide range of biological and pharmacologica...
Micro sponges are patented polymeric drug delivery systems consisting of porous microspheres. The physical appearance of microsponges is tiny spherical sponge-like with the surface with large spores. Micro sponges are typically used and nowadays used as the oral dosage form. The inert and indestructible tiny spherical particles do not pass through the skin. But, it collects in the tiny nooks and c...
The aim of this study is to evaluate metformin and insulin effects on metabolic disorders and oxydatif stress markers, in Algerian men with T2D, in order to recommend the best treatment, which can minimize diabetes complications and recommend/or not a combination between metformin and insulin. Patients and Methods: We made this study on 120 subjects men divided into four groups (30 healthy control...
Seaweeds are potential sources of bioactive molecules. They are known to be rich sources of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and other secondary metabolites. To evaluate the presence of these compounds in marine macroalgae collected from Veraval coast of Gujarat, present studies was carried out. The methanol extract of six macroalgae species (Ulva lactuca, Ulva faciata, Acantho...
Topical formulations may contribute to the reduction of oxidative stress in the skin. Banana peel is a fruit waste with antioxidant activity that is not yet included in a topical formulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-aging activity of a cream formulation containing a lyophilized extract of banana peel. The banana peel was extracted with ethanol, and a cream fo...
A new series of Schiff's base compounds were synthesized by condensation of 1-(4-amino-4 phenyl) 3-phenyl triazene-1-ol) and substituted aldehyde and gave high yields of target compounds. Antimicrobial activity of compounds has been tested against bacterial and fungal species, namely gram-positive bacteria as S. aureus and S. pyogenes, gram-negative bacteria as E. coli and P. aeruginosa, and funga...
The antibacterial property of three Himalayan Oaks species (Quercus floribunda, Q. leucotrichophora and Q. semecarpifolia) in different solvents against eight gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria employing disc diffusion method has been investigated. All the test microorganisms were inhibited significantly by Oaks species at 1000 μg/ml. The MIC and MBC values of each extract (where...
