The Simvastatin loaded microemulsion based gel was formulated and in-vitro evaluation was done for the treatment of diabetic wound healing. Simvastatin is BCS class II drug which promotes wound healing by increasing the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Microemulsions (MEs) are oil and water colloidal system stabilized by the mixture of surfactant and co-surfactant offering enhance skin permeability for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. At first, microemulsion (ME) was prepared by water titration method and the existence of ME region was determined using pseudo-ternary phase diagram. Formulations were prepared using oil (oleic acid), Tween 80 and PEG 400 as surfactant and co-surfactant. Optimization of formulation was done using 32 factorial designs. Carbopol 940 was used as gelling agent for preparing microemulsion gel. The formulations were evaluated for physical appearance globule size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, percent transmittance, thermodynamic stability, dilution test, drug content, and in vitro drug release. The optimized formulation of ME showed average globule size of 151 nm and the optimized ME gel had a homogeneous texture, showed good spreadability and in vitro drug release. The present study indicates the simvastatin loaded microemulsion gel could act as promising vehicle for topical drug delivery of drug for diabetic wound healing.

Enzymes play very important role in living organism as biocatalyst. They play vital role like secretion, metabolism, digestion, DNA functions, reproduction, conversation of molecules and many other functions of body. By inhibiting specific enzymes, we can cure numerous pathological conditions in humans like inhibiting HMG CoA reductase, we can decrease cholesterol synthesis which is very useful in atherosclerosis and also use for heart diseases. ACE inhibitors can reduce concentration of Angiotensin II and use to reduce blood pressure. Many of them use as pesticides and herbicides in agriculture field. The history says enzyme inhibitors are use as arrow poison and use to kill animals by developing paralysis in them. Using a digital technology scientist identified number of enzymes and their functions as well as their 3D structure. We can easily design their inhibitors and use as medicine to treat pathological conditions. So, enzyme inhibitors became first choice for medicinal chemist and scientist as a target and play extremely important role in future as medicinal compounds and became a safe option compared to other available options.

Emergence of multi-drug resistant isolates of P. mirabilis and development of new resistant microbial phenotypes are growing and the outlook for the use of antimicrobial drugs in the future is still uncertain. Therefore, there is an increased demand for developing alternative strategies to conventional antibiotic therapy and to continue studies to develop new drugs, either synthetic or natural. In this study, 25 isolates of P. mirabilis were isolated from different clinical samples collected from different departments of Tanta University hospitals. All isolates were resistant to amoxicillin, azithromycin and tetracycline. A high incidence of resistance was also recorded for cefprozil (96%) and cefotaxime (80%). P. mirabilis isolates were moderately resistant to imipenem (64%), lomefloxacin (64%), ampicillin (60%), cefepime (60%) and ciprofloxacin (52%). However, the lowest incidence of resistance was recorded for amikacin (8%). All isolates showed MAR indices >0.2 and exhibited MDR profile. The antimicrobial activity of tea tree oil was evaluated using agar dilution method recording MIC50 value of 12.8 mg/ml. The effect of tea tree oil on the strong biofilm producer isolates with relatively wide swarming zone diameters was evaluated. Results obtained showed that tea tree oil (1/4 and 1/2 MIC) presented significant and dose-dependent inhibition in the biofilm production by the tested isolates of P. mirabilis by ≥50%. In addition, tea tree oil inhibited the swarming motility of P. mirabilis isolates in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, tea tree oil could act as a potential source of alternative antimicrobials or as antipathogenic compound against MDR P.mirabilis.

Therefore, there is an increased demand for developing alternative strategies to conventional antibiotic therapy and to continue studies to develop new drugs, either synthetic or natural. In this study, 25 isolates of P. mirabilis were isolated from different clinical samples collected from different departments of Tanta University hospitals.
