Transdermal patches offer a convenient and effective way to administer drugs, and CPM's application in this context holds promise for improved patient care. The primary aim of this study was to utilize the Box-Behnken design to formulate transdermal patches containing CPM. These patches were developed through a solvent dispersion technique, with key ingredients including HPMC (a polymer), PEG (a plasticizer), ethanol, and a permeation enhancer. The overarching goal was to assess the impact of polymer type, permeation enhancer, and sonication time on patch formulation and performance. To achieve our aim, we conducted several tests, including folding endurance, drug content, thickness, entrapment efficiency, in vitro moisture uptake, permeation analysis, and in vitro experiments. These specific objectives allowed us to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the transdermal patches comprehensively. In our methodology, HPMC was employed as the polymer, and PEG served as the plasticizer. The Box-Behnken design facilitated kinetic assessments to study drug release from the patches. We systematically varied the HPMC, PEG, and ethanol concentrations and the sonication time to optimize patch formulation. The outcomes of our study indicated that all formulated patches met the specified criteria for quality and performance. Folding endurance was found to follow the formula +178.00 + 5.37A + 13.25B + 1.13C - 1.75AB + 0.0000AC + 0.2500BC + 4.25A² + 8.50B² + 2.75C², while permeation at 24 hours exhibited the equation +73.00 + 2.12A + 6.37B + 0.7500C - 0.5000AB - 0.2500AC - 0.2500BC + 1.00A² + 0.0000B² + 1.25C². These findings underscore the successful development of transdermal patches containing CPM and shed light on the critical factors influencing patch formulation. In summary, this investigation accomplished the development of transdermal patches incorporating CPM and elucidated the influence of polymer type, permeation enhancer, and sonication time on the formulation process. These findings contribute to advancing transdermal drug delivery systems and offer potential benefits for patients receiving anti-allergic medication.","PeriodicalId":44665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research","volume":"266 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139298385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fashion of alcohol ingestion leads to habits of chronicalcoholism. Alcoholism (Madyapaan) is a behavioral disorder characterized by repetitive and excessive consumption of alcohol (Madya). It isobserved that long-term consumption of alcohol damages the liver to a very large extent, leading to either Alcoholic liver disease or livercirrhosis. In Ayurveda, this condition can be correlated with 'Madatyaya.' Madya is described as the main etiological factor of various diseasesat multiple places in Ayurvedic classics, but madatyaya is a primary one. Ayurved explains the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment ofmadatyaya, but the specific srotodushti is not explained. When characteristics of madya and causative moolasthanavikruti (Hepatotoxicity) areconsidered, it is assumed that madya may cause raktadushti also. Hence this topic is an attempt to evaluate raktadushti in madatyaya vyadhi. Itis a cross-sectional observational study performed on 50 patients of Madatyaya. Patients were examined thoroughly, and all the details werenoted in a specially designed case record format. A comparative study of madatyaya and raktadushti was conducted; also assessment ofraktadushti was done based on symptoms of raktadushti observed in those patients. Collected data and the observations are then analyzed bystatistical tests such as the chi-square test and correlation regression. This study proves the positive correlation between madyatyaya andraktadushti. It may be the alcohol metabolized primarily in the liver, which is getting damaged by long-term consumption. Ayurveda explainsYakrita and pleeha as the moolasthana (roots) of Raktavaha srotas. This moolasthana dushti (damage to the root) causes damage to the wholesystem (Raktavaha srotas); hence madatyaya vyadhi can be labeled as a disease of Raktavaha srotas.","PeriodicalId":44665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research","volume":"42 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The personal care industry is currently more concentrated on herbal cosmetics as nowadays it is fast growing segment with a vast scope of various expansions in coming years. Herbal cosmetics are the preparations that represent cosmetics associated with active bio - ingredients, nutraceuticals, or pharmaceuticals. The use of bioactive phytochemicals from various botanicals has a dual function: they are used as cosmetics to care for the body and its parts, and the botanical components impact the skin's biological processes. Identifying the phytochemicals for skin and body care products is greatly aided by our historical understanding of the utilization of plant riches as documented in the Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Tibetan systems of medicine. The development of Nobel cosmeceuticals for skin & body care illnesses will require the necessary efforts to associate current cosmetology with bioactive components based on our traditional system of medicine. Additionally, it significantly polluted the environment and disrupted our ecosystem. To enhance people's health and the quality of their lives and address the limitations of the allopathic system, both contemporary and conventional approaches must be used in addition to it. This has resulted in a rise in the use of herbal medications, cosmetics, neutraceuticals, and natural dyes. The aim of this review is to demonstrate the preventive methods of Ayurveda for skin and hair care in the contemporary period and to describe, based on a literature review, the relationship between Ayurveda and cosmetics. The knowledge of medicinal plants used by the people is well-known in its culture and tradition.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the low oxygen environment inside the cell is a key factor in developing breast cancer metastasis. To gain insight into the spread of breast cancer, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), one of the master regulators of the hypoxic response, has been intensively explored. Our current research focuses on the insilico analysis and comparative study to evaluate the effects of different cancer drugs, analgesics, and plant-derived flavonoid compounds on HIF-1α regulation of breast cancer metastasis. According to the study, Quercetin shows the maximum binding affinity, i.e., -8.2 kcal/ mol. followed by Letrozole (-7.3 kcal/mol.), Naringenin (-7.11 kcal/mol), Tamoxifen (-7.07 kcal/mol), Phenacetin (-6.16 kcal/mol), and Aspirin (-5.7 kcal/mol). The study highlighted that Quercetin has the strongest binding affinity whereas Aspirin has the least binding affinity with HIF-1α protein.

The most frequent cause of knee discomfort with retro patellar orperipatellar pain is patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). The need for further studies to better understand the causes and treatment of PFPS is essential to provideoptimal care for individuals experiencing pain in the knee. Physical therapy is considered the most effective treatment for PFPS, but more research is needed todetermine each individual's best course of action. Proper diagnosis is the key to successful treatment and prevention of PFPS. Early intervention is also important forbetter outcomes. Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), which is often used interchangeably with \"anterior knee pain\" or \"runner's knee,\" is the clinical entity ofstiffness or pain or both on prolonged sitting with the knees flexed and pain with activities that load the patellofemoral joint, such as climbing or descending stairs,squatting, running and kneeling. Varieties of conservative treatments are suggested, like quadriceps strengthening, stretching, braces and straps, electrotherapy, footorthosis, patellar taping, etc. Hence, a comparison between the vastus medialis obliqus muscle strengthening and patellar taping was undertaken to determine theireffectiveness concerning pain and function. A well-organized research study was conducted over 12 months to investigate the impact of strengthening the vastusmedialis oblique muscle and applying conventional therapy treatment. Group A received this combination of treatments, while Group B was assigned a treatmentprotocol involving the use of McConnell tape along with conventional therapy treatment. After taking informed and written consent, 30 subjects diagnosed withunilateral or bilateral PFPS were randomly selected and allocated into two groups - Group A (VMO muscle strengthening and conventional therapy treatment) andGroup B (Mulligan knee taping technique (McConnell tape) and conventional therapy treatment). Both groups received 6 therapy sessions every alternate day for 6weeks. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Kujala patellofemoral scale (KPS) measured pre and post-pain and function. \"T-Test\" was used for statistical analysis. Therewas a significant improvement in pain and function in patients with Patellofemoral pain syndrome at the end of 6 weeks regarding VAS and KPS within both groups,i.e., groups A and B (p<0.01).
