Tadalafil and Sildenafil illicit association: Stability- indicating HPLC method, photodegradation kinetic and toxicological studies

Abstract The illicit market of counterfeit medicines containing sildenafil and tadalafil has been causing serious public health problems. Thus, further studies on this illicit association are needed. A stability-indicating HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of tadalafil (TAD) and si...

Algae Metabolites as an Alternative in Prevention and Treatment of Skin Problems Associated with Solar Radiation and Conventional Photo-protection

Abstract The histological structure and biochemistry of the skin is affected by solar radiation having adverse effects ranging from sunburns, premature aging that includes wrinkles, spots, dryness, and loss of collagen to cancer development. The skin has defense mechanisms to prevent damage caused by rad...

Pharmacological blockade of protease-Activated Receptor 2 improves airway remodeling and lung inflammation in experimental allergic asthma

Abstract Protease-activated receptors (PARs) are metabotropic G-protein-coupled receptors that are activated via proteolytic cleavage of a specific sequence of amino acids in their N-terminal region. PAR2 has been implicated in mediating allergic airway inflammation. This study aims to study the effect o...

The Effect of Anakinra on Acrylamide-induced Peripheral Neuropathy and Neuropathic Pain in Rats

Abstract Acrylamide is a neurotoxic compound. Moreover, anakinra is an interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist used in rheumatoid arthritis treatment. This study investigated the effect of anakinra on acrylamide-related neuropathy and neuropathic pain. Acrylamide exposure caused a significant decrease ...

Preparation and in vitro evaluation of Vancomycin loaded Montmorillonite-Sodium Alginate topical gel for wound infection

Abstract Despite decades of research, wound healing remains a significant public health problem. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a topical sodium alginate gel containing vancomycin (Van) loaded MMT NPs for wound healing applications. Van was loaded in MMT at different conditions (pHs of 6, 7 and...

Oral administration of eucalyptol reduces cell migration and pain-like behavior in zymosan-induced arthritis mice

Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that utilizes nonbiologic and biologic drugs for appropriate disease management. However, high cost, adverse effects, reduced effectiveness, and risk of infection have stimulated the search for safer and more efficacious therapeutic strategies...

Effects of melatonin on both testicular regeneration and recovery of spermatogenesis in busulfan-treated rats

Abstract Testicular damage is one of the most hazardous effects of chemotherapy as it is frequently associated with oligozoospermia and azoospermia. This study aimed at evaluating the protective effect of melatonin in a rat model of busulfan-induced testicular injury. Rats were divided into four groups: ...

Curcumin nanoliposomes mitigate wound tissue inflammatory response caused by tooth extraction

Abstract Curcumin is a plant-derived compound with polypharmacological properties that are hampered by its poor solubility, fast degradation, etc. Wound closure complications that follow tooth extraction are numerous, and relatively frequently additional treatment is needed to prevent unwanted process ch...
