Neurodegenerative diseases are progressive degeneration of certain nerve cells causing ataxias and dementia affecting millions of people worldwide. Transdermal drug delivery systems – “patches” represent an attractive alternative to the conventional method and have made an important contribution to the management of the various medical conditions. A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch which delivers drug via skin to the systemic circulation in a controlled manner. The advancement of various sophisticated transdermal delivery technologies led to of increase in the number of approved drugs. This route of administration has several innate and major advantages that have the potential to benefit various patient populations, including those with nervous system disorders. The transdermal route is an ideal route for the management of chronic neurological conditions as they are capable of providing continued drug delivery and maintaining steadier plasma concentration of drugs thereby reducing adverse events. Moreover, a transdermal patch is convenient, efficient in enhancing medication therapy and patient compliance. This article reviews the rationale and scope of the transdermal route...

Upper respiratory tract infections are the major cause of childhood morbidity leading to limit the day to day activities and school absenteeism. Diseases like tonsillitis, cough, and cold account for the maximum respiratory tract morbidities. Studies document that, in developing countries, on average, every child has five episodes of acute respiratory infections per year accounting for 30%-50% of the total pediatric outpatient visits and 20%-30% of the pediatric admissions. Ayurveda states that in children, the Prana, Dosha, Dhatu, Bala, Ojas are under developed, and therefore, they are the most vulnerable group in terms of illness. Therefore they should be supported externally to potentiate their immune system. Good immunity has a substantial role in sustaining the body and preventing various infections. Although available conventional management provides symptomatic relief, there is no conclusive evidence that they shorten the duration of symptoms. The use of antibiotic is also not empirical. Therefore it is the need of hour to find some alternative to provide relief in symptoms, potentiate the immune system to resist...

Azetidinones (Azetidin-2-ones), more commonly known as β-lactams, are well-known heterocyclic moieties among the medicinal compounds mainly because of their diverse pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, anti-HIV, anti-parkinsonian, antidiabetic and antitubercular activities. Various com-parative studies of current azetidinone derivatives show an alarming increase in the bacterial resistance to the β-lactam nucleus may be due to irrational usage, which unfortunately led to less therapeutic usage. Hence new hybrids of Azetidinones with other drugs containing different heterocyclic rings found to possess broad-spectrum efficacy against various types of bacteria with β-lactamase inhibition to find great scope for future needs. This concept of hybrid molecules of different heterocyclic drugs would be a cost-effective and time-saving experiment in the process of drug discovery and development. In today’s world of diseases and expensive drugs which are not affordable for countries like India, this attempt would be noon. Hence this review is an attempt to focus on the possible hybrid molecules of Azetidinones with other heterocyclic drugs for various...

Euphorbia hirta Linn. (Euphorbiaceae), commonly known as ‘Dudhy’ is an annual medicinal herb of Kumaun Himalaya Uttarakhand. It is an invasive plant used in conventional medicine to treat various diseases such as gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory system disorders, and asthma. The present review is designed to compile updated information on E. hirta, including its medicinal uses, phytochemicals, as well as biological activities. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical studies on E. hirta revealed the presence of various chemical compounds in which flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenols are the major constituents. These monomeric compounds and crude extracts from E. hirta have also been screened for pharmacological activities in-vivo and in-vitro. Different parts of the plant have interesting antimicrobial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antitumor properties. Some traditional uses of this plant, such as in gastrointestinal disorders, bronchitis, and asthma, also indicated its high medicinal potentiality. E. hirta has been proved a valuable medicinal plant for the tribal people living in the rural region of Kumaun Himalaya. The crude hydroalcoholic extract of E. hirta has more pharmacological...

Ticagrelor is a platelet aggregation inhibitor. It is used for the prevention of stroke, heart attack, and other events in people with the acute coronary syndrome, meaning problems with the blood supply in the coronary arteries. It acts as a platelet aggregation inhibitor by antagonising the P2Y 12 receptor. Its half-life is up to 12 h with the hepatic type of metabolism and biliary excretion. This review provides the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of the Ticagrelor, which also includes the review on pharmaceutical analytical techniques like High-performance liquid chromatography, Reverse phase – High-performance liquid chromatography, Bio-analytical techniques, UV spectrometry with the impurities, pharmaceutical dosage forms, bulk, and its formulations used for determination and validation. This review helps us to get updated information on validation of drug-Ticagrelor till current...
