The PHLPP1 model was then used in docking interaction analysis and Molecular Dynamics Simulation, to study binding pockets and interactions of PHLPP1 ligands and finding actively contributing residues in binding pocket. In final step, Free Energy Estimation was performed to observe ligand binding's quantitative characteristics.Uterine fibroids (UF) or leiomyomas can be presented in post-menopausal women. The present study was aimed to examine the inhibitory and protective (anti-proliferative and apoptotic) effect of the obovatol (OB) in human leiomyoma cells (HuLM). The cell proliferative activity was determined by MTT assay and inflammatory markers were measured. Followed by evaluating DNA fragmentation and apoptotic markers using the ELISA kit method. Also, the apoptosis regulatory proteins expressions were determined using the immunoblot technique. Treatment with increasing concentration of OB (25-200 μM) significantly lowered the cell proliferation rate as well as considerably reduced the values of various pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6. Whereas, the levels of DNA fragmentation and apoptotic marker like caspase-3 and 9 were considerably elevated after co-culturing HuLM cells with OB. In addition, apoptosis regulatory proteins like Bcl2 and Bax were substantially down and up-regulated respectively, by OB in a dose-dependent fashion. The above data clearly showcase that OB possesses potent anti-proliferative (inhibitory) as well as apoptotic activity and may be recommended as a chemotherapeutic agent against UF and related conditions. However, further studies are required before recommended for treating UF subjects.The main objective of the present study was to explore the potential of matrix tablets as extended release dosage form of tianeptine, using HMPC K100 as a polymer. HPMC K100 extended the release of the drug from formulation due to the gel-like structure. Direct compression method was adopted to compress the tablets using different concentrations of polymer. Tablets were evaluated for pre-compression and post-compression parameters. Drug release study showed that tablet extends the release of drug with the increasing concentration of polymer. Drug, polymers and tablets were analyzed and/or characterized for compatibility, degradation, thermal stability, amorphous or crystalline nature via FTIR, DSC, TGA, XRD studies. SEM study predicted that tablets had a uniform structure. HPMC K100 based tablets were similar to that of the reference product. Acute toxicity study conducted on Swiss albino mice showed that matrix tablets were safe and non-toxic, as no changes in physical activity and functions of organs were observed. Biochemical and histopathological study revealed lack of any kind of abnormality in liver and renal function. Moreover, necrotic changes were absent at organ level.Voltammetric parameters are studied to confirm the antioxidant activity of citric acid towards reduced form of methyl viologen dication (1, 1'-dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridinium, MV 2+, also known as paraquat). In this study the kinetics of the reaction of citric acid with reduced form of methyl viologen is also reported. Out of two oxidative peaks (i.e. MVo to MV+˖ and MV+˖ to MV+2) the first peak is almost removed after interaction with citric acid. Shifting in second cathodic peak potential is also obvious and possibility of citric acid to scavenge or making adduct with paraquat is identified. Some real samples (fruit juices) as a rich source of citric acid are also studied. This study presents a simple, relevant and fast voltammetric method by which quick quantitation and monitoring of antioxidant/ scavenging activity of food, herbs and other spices towards paraquat poisoning is possible. It may constitute a new wave of treatment or therapy for the disease caused by paraquat.Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) are common worldwide, in both developing as well as developed countries. MNDs such as Iron Deficiency not only compromise the nutritional status of individuals but can also put them at an increased risk of developing various other diseases by negatively affecting their immunity. The objective of the current research was to determine the effects of prebiotics and iron fortificants on various immunoglobulins among iron deficient women belonging to childbearing age. To serve the purpose, a total of seventy five iron deficient women were selected and randomly divided into one control and four treatment groups. selleck kinase inhibitor Accordingly, different types of fortified wheat flour were prepared, based on varying dosage of prebiotics and iron fortificants, to be fed to anemic women on daily basis for three months. Two iron salts (FeSO4 and NaFeEDTA) and two prebiotics (Galacto oligosaccharides and Inulin) were used to fortify wheat flour during the trials. Overnight fasted women were asked to give blood samples on monthly basis, up to three months. Four types of Immunoglobulins including IgA, IgE, IgG and IgM were determined at baseline, 30th, 60th and 90th day of trials using their respective protocols. The results of the study indicated that a statistically significant declining trend for IgA, IgE, IgG and IgM was present among the treatment groups (P-value less then 0.05), compared to the control group. The study concluded that provision of iron and prebiotic fortified flour improved the immune function of iron deficient women.The purpose of this research was the development and optimization of mouth dissolving tablets (MDT) of Tizanidine hydrochloride using superdisintegrant. MDTs of Tizanidine (4mg) were manufactured by direct compression method. Formulations comprised of Tizanidine and excipients including croscarmellose sodium, Avicel PH 102, aspartame, orange flavor and magnesium stearate. Blends of powder were assessed for flow characterization and then compressed by direct compression. During post compression stage, a detail evaluation of tablets with respect to weight variation, hardness, thickness, disintegration time, wetting time, friability, drug content analysis, content uniformity, palatability and dissolution studies was carried out. All the formulations complied with the pharmacopeial requirements of weight, disintegration time and assay. Amongst the trial formulations F4 with concentration of croscarmellose sodium i.e. 5% was proved as best optimized due to satisfactory quality attributes such as least disintegration time and sufficient hardness.
