NITRIC OXIDE: A NOVEL THERAPEUTIC TARGET

Nitric oxide (NO), the most potent natural vasorelaxant, has close relation to cardiovascular physiology, inspite of its complex chemistry; it is a signal-transducing radical. Aspects of NO biology critical to gastrointestinal health and, consequently, nutritional status are increasingly being recognized. Cross-talk between NO and micronutrients within and outside the gastrointestinal system affec...

IN VITRO EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF DILLENIA INDICA LINN. LEAF EXTRACT

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are thought to underline the process of ageing and the pathogenicity of various diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. The use of traditional medicine is widespread and plants still present a large source of natural antioxidants that might serve as leads for the development of novel drugs. In this study, an ethanolic extract of leaves from Dillenia ...

MICRODOSING: A NEW STRATEGY FOR DRUG DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

New drugs are a great need for clinical conditions but unfortunately development costs are rising and number of drugs receiving marketing approval has fallen. Microdosing is a new experimental approach that offers a faster and potentially less expensive approach for obtaining human in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) data in early stages of drug development. The concept of microdosing involves the use of...
