SOME DRUGS IN ACTION: METAL IONS DO INFLUENCE THE ACTIVITY!

A large no of synthetic and natural compounds behave as very effective drugs. All these compounds have a wide range of biological activities like anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-neoplastic, anti-tumorigenic, anti-HIV and so on. On the other hand, metals have played an important role in medicine for years. Many are essential in our diets in varying quan...

INTRINSIC MITOCHONDRIAL APOPTOTIC PATHWAYS; AN IMPERATIVE FEATURE OF CISPLATIN CYTOTOXICTY

Up till now, the most thriving and extensively used antineoplastic agent with well-established effectiveness is cisplatin. Being a non-specific drug, it reacts not only with genomic DNA but also binds and damages the plasma protein and cytoplasmic protein that confers to cisplatin resistance and severs side effects. DNA damage prompted by cisplatin leads to the activation of many signaling cascade...

NANOPARTICLE TECHNOLOGY: FORMULATING POORLY WATER-SOLUBLE COMPOUNDS: A REVIEW

One of the biggest challenges faced by pharmaceutical scientists is poor solubility and bioavailability of new chemical entities (NCEs). According to BCS classification; approximately 25% of all compounds are classified as highly soluble and permeable. Nearly 40% of the new chemical entities currently being discovered are lipophilic so poorly water soluble drugs. BCS Class II and Class IV have low...
