The purpose of this research was to see whether Wistar male rats might be protected against paracetamol-induced liver damage by ingesting Embelin-loaded phytosomes complex (EMBP) (PCM). Multiple pharmacological impacts of embelin have been identified, and this study aimed to reduce the required dose while increasing its bioavailability. The hepatotoxicity of paracetamol in Wistar male rats was reduced by belinostatin-loaded phytosomes complex (EMBP) (PCM). Animals group I were treated with 1% CMC for 8 days. PCM was given orally as a single dosage on the eighth day, after a seven-day treatment regimen of "1% CMC," 1 ml/kg per day of EMBP, 50 mg/kg per day of EMBP, 100 mg/kg per day of EMBP, and 100 mg/kg per day of silymarin. Following 24 hours, the animals were sacrificed and their blood was collected via the retro-orbital plexus while under light anaesthesia. In order to determine the hepatoprotective potential, many biochemical markers were analysed. Rats in group IV had significantly lower levels of ALP, AST, ALT, LDH, saturated fat, Total bilirubin, hepatic mass, and comparative hepatic mass contrasted to rats in group II, and higher levels of final body weight, total protein, and alanine aminotransferase (ALB) contrasted to rats in group II. Both silymarin and EMBP, at 100 mg/kg/day, have hepatoprotective potentials similar to those of the gold standard medication, silybin. The study's findings were supported by the histology analysis. Burmese Embelia ribes contained the active component embelin. We employed an innovative method of drug delivery called a phytosome. Six Embelin-loaded phytosome complicated compositions (EMBP1, EMBP2, EMBP3, EMBP4, EMBP5, and EMBP6) were made by combining soy lecithin and chitosan in different proportions and then utilising the anti-solvent precipitate technique as well as the Rotary evaporation technique. Characterization of the phytosome included (SEM) scanning electron microscopy, in vitro release studies, documented drug release kinetic investigations, particle size estimate, percentage output, as well as entrapment efficiency. Among the six formulas, EMBP5 was the most optimised. EMBP5 has the smallest diameter of 345.45±1.231. The immobilization of embelin inside the phytosome complex distinguish from 64.99±1.546 to 81.78±1.151%. The highest entrapment efficiency, 81.78±1.151%, is achieved using the formation of embelin-loaded phytosome complex (EMBP5). The optimal formulation of embelin-loaded phytosomes (EMBP5) was found to contain phytosomes that were less spherical, had a rough and smooth surface, as well as were somewhat aggregated. The phytosomes' in vitro dissolution research revealed a pattern of release. It was determined that fickian diffusion and first order kinetics were involved in the release of embelin from the complex of phytosomes containing embelin (concentration dependant).According to this study, EMBP has hepatoprotective properties equivalent to those of standard silymarin because it showed similar protective potential against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in male wistar rats.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common female endocrinopathy with unknown origins that is characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligo-/anovulation, and ovarian cysts. Obesity, insulin resistance, and systemic low grade inflammation are all common in women with PCOS. In 2012, tremellen and pearce proposed the idea that dysbiosis of the intestinal (gut) microbiota is a contributing factor to PCOS metabolic and reproductive manifestations. The gut microbiota has been shown to play a role in the onset and progression of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, coronary heart disease, and so on. In the past five years, studies in both human and animal models have determined that alterations in the taxonomic composition of gut bacteria are associated with PCOS. It sheds light on the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study provided the link between gut microbial composition and serum metabolites contributing to the occurrence and development of PCOS. Altogether, these results suggest that dysbiosis of the gut microbiome may be sufficient to develop PCOS-like symptoms, and the modulation of gut microbiota may be a potential therapeutic target for PCOS.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is the biggest health concerns in the world today, due to its restricted and expensive treatment options. The severity and burden of MDR-TB differ significantly from nation to nation & region to region. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) most recent study, there are approximately 4,50,000 MDR-TB cases worldwide, with the majority occurring in China, India, Eastern Europeans and Central Asian Countries. MDR-TB is tuberculosis which is resistant to atleast isoniazid & rifampicin, the two most potent anti-TB drugs. Using second line medications, MDR-TB can be managed and cured. However, there are few choices for second line therapy, and requires prolonged chemotherapy(lasting at least 9 months & sometimes up to 20 months), using pricey and toxic drugs. The treatment is challenging for MDR-TB, as it requires administration of at least four antitubercular medications, many of which are held with frequent adverse reactions. Drugs should be selected based on the past medication history, known resistance patterns, and drug-susceptibility testing (DST) data, if available.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), which affects up to 50 million people globally today, is one of the biggest mysteries in medical science and public health systems. This complex brain condition is characterized by apathy, mood and neuropsychiatric abnormalities, as well as gradual cognitive impairment. Ageing is the primary risk factor for AD; it is a normal biologicalprocedure connected to a continuous dynamic that involves a progressive loss of people's physical capabilities, but with a reliable, lived-in perspective on life. According to studies, AD differs from healthy ageing in that it causes changes in the processes that safeguard neurons as well as their powerful functioning capabilities. Given the components of nutrition, regular exercise, and avoiding certain substances, a significant route has been created towards preventing AD in this environment. Avoiding harmful chemicals and narcotics, maintaining an active social life, engaging in meditation, and managing stress are all necessary for healthy ageing. Here, we examine how these elements are involved and how to reduce environmental risk factors for a higher standard of living. both proactive and creative, the use of trustworthy biomarkers in screening programs for early disease identification is becoming increasingly important for disease management.Additionally, the failure of conventional pharmaceutical therapies and the search for new medications have sparked the development of nutraceutical compounds in the context of "multi-target" therapy, as well as mindfulness techniques that are effective in the management of AD and ageing.All of these preventive measures combined with cutting-edge pharmaceutical techniques should form the basis of an integrated strategy for the eventual control of the illness. According to studies, AD is different from healthy ageing in that it causes alterations in the processes that safeguard neurons while maintaining their great functioning capabilities. Given that daily exercise, healthy eating, and avoiding harmful chemicals are all critical components of AD prevention, an important road has been opened in this regard.drugs, a bustling social life, meditation, and stress management are all necessary for good ageing. Here, we examine how these elements are involved and how to reduce risk factors from the environment for a higher standard of living. The control of the illness is increasingly dependent on prevention as well as cutting-edge screening programmes for early diagnosis of the disease utilizing accurate biomarkers. Additionally, the ineffectiveness of conventional pharmaceutical therapies and the quest for novel medicationshas sparked the development of nutraceutical substances in the framework of a "multitarget" therapy, as well as methods of mindfulness that have been shown useful for the management of ageing and AD. All of these protective factors coupled with an integrated strategy,The future management of the condition should be made possible by innovative pharmaceutical techniques.

Dr. Dhanapal Venkatachalam

Sree Sastha Pharmacy College, Chembarambakkam, Chennai-600123.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the major known active principleembelin of Embeliaribes for possible antidepressant activity..EmbeliaribesBurm (Family: Myrsinaceae) is extensively used in Indian traditional medicine for treating various disease conditions including chronic inflammatory disorders, heart and urinary conditions, snake and insect bites and tumour. Methodology: Fractionation of the methanlic extract of dried powdered fruits using column chromatography over silica gel afforded embelin. Experimental depression was induced by subjecting mice to tail suspension test (TST) and forced swimming test (FST) experimental models. Intraperitonial administration of embelin (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) 30 min prior to induction of experimental depression resulted in dose-dependent reduction of immobility under both test conditions. Results: The effects of embelin on immobility time of mice in the TST at the doses of 2.5 and 5 mg/kg, embelin induced antidepressant-like effect with significance level of p < 0.05; p < 0.001 respectively when compared with the control group. The positive control, imipramine, administered at the dose of 15 mg/kg did also show antidepressant-like effect comparable with that of 5 mg/kg embelin (p > 0.001).As with the FST, treatment of mice with 2.5 and 5 mg/kg of embelin given by intra peritoneal route significantly decreased immobility in the FST. The data obtained at these two doses were significantly different from the control group (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 respectively). The positive control, imipramine, did also shorten immobility time in the FST (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The result concludes that,the major bioactive constituent of Embeliaribes, embelin, exhibited significant activity in mice TST and FST experimental models. The observed potent activity at doses lower than the standard antidepressant drug, imipramine, suggests the potential of embelin and Embeliaribes for treating mental depression.
