Today, Nanotechnology is widely used for leading new dosage forms. Vesicular drug delivery system is expanding as one of advanced nanotechnology. Delivery of drugs using colloidal particulate carriers and liquid crystalline compact niosomal hybrid such as niosome and proniosomes has peculiar advantages over conventional dosage forms. Proniosomes is a dry formulation using suitable carrier coated with non-ionic surfactant and can be converted into niosome immediately before use by hydration. These vesicles are amphiphilic molecules having capability of entrapping both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Vesicular systems are lamellar structures composed of amphiphilic molecules surrounded by an aqueous environment. The non-ionic surfactants are preferred in the proniosomes preparation than cationic, anionic, and ampholytic surfactants because they have the ability to increase solubility which helps in increasing solubility and bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs. The versatile vesicular drug delivery through the transdermal route is advantageous due to the vesicles tendency to attach and adhere to the cell surface and causes increased permeation rate. However, the major pathways for drug permeation in...

Cancer is one of the main reasons of death around the world and the quantity of new incidents keeps on rising. Despite ongoing advances in conclusion and remedial systems, many malignancy-related passes happen, demonstrating the requirement for better treatments and symptomatic methodologies. Mitochondrial morphology is dependent on continuous fusion and fission strategies that are essential for monitoring a normal mitochondrial function. Past years major discoveries have indicated that the characterization of fission and fusion is a little machinery, which is known as the physiological role of mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondria (MND) and metabolic adjustments have been perceived as critical for growth movement. The numerous components of those organelles square measure in person connected to their morphology. Late confirmation proposes a significant association between mitochondrial (MNDL) construction and ill health, together with neurodegenerative, incendiary ailments and malignancy. Here, we scrutinize present-day movements within the perception of mitochondrial gestures with a special target with its liaison to cancer and therapeutic ways via synthetic and natural bioactive actives. Some notable compounds in the...

The important barrier in transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is the Stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of the skin, which acts as an excellent protective physiological barrier. To boost the penetration or permeation of drugs through SC, several tactics have been used including passive and active methods of permeation or both in combination. This unwraps the opportunity to broaden the range of drugs that can be administered through the transdermal route, performed as alternatives to existing products, and overcomes the weaknesses of conventional routes. The Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) seem to be excellent candidates over conventional drug delivery systems. NLCs are fastly growing and in increased demand from pharmaceutical research groups globally since the last decade. After development of liposomes and Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN), NLCs were introduced. NLC overcomes the limitations of SLN, like the limited drug loading capacity and drug expulsion during storage. NLCs receive a preferred choice of formulation in the cosmeceutical market and Pharmaceutical market as well. This review is an overview of the different permeation...

Excessive heterogeneity in the phenotypic expression of drug treatment response and adverse drug reaction is resolute by a complex interaction of multiple hereditary variants and environmental aspects. The complex nature of treatment response greatly increases the need for personalized medicine. Drug metabolizing enzymes show monogenic genetic polymorphism and influence drug response. Cytochrome P450 enzymes have clinically relevant variation in their effects. Understanding the genome, proteome, plus metabolic pathways have improved drug development. The application of pharmacogenomics, the use of biomarkers, the molecular system approach, and metabolomics technology will certainly help in the development of personalized medicine. Proteomic technology requires further development for analyzing a massive amount of genes and protein profile data. There is the need to cheer a paradigm shift from traditional medical practices to personalized medicine. Due to the high prevalence of inherited genetic disorders and non-communicable diseases, personalized medicine has its own significance. It aims to enhance awareness, motivation, and sincere efforts towards better and...

Spices, nature’s gift to mankind are the reservoir of secondary metabolites – alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, glycerides, sulfides, and other oxygen/nitrogen compounds that can effectively treat viral infections, bacterial infections, and respiratory problems. Since ancient days they have been used for its anti-inflammatory, carminative, antioxidant, anti-clotting, anti-microbial, anti-pyretic, and cardiotonic properties. In search of identifying a natural therapy for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infections, this review investigates the pharmacological nature of some commonly used spices (ajwain, asafoetida, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, coriander, fenugreek, garlic, ginger, long pepper and turmeric) with special reference to the mechanism of vasodilatory property. Among the selected commonly used spices, turmeric and ginger especially have been reported to alter the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to exert its vasodilatory property. The study could lead to a novel exploration of vaccines/drugs aided with a detailed investigation of individual bioactive compounds as well as their synergic...
