Aiman Iqbal, Muhammad Ibrahim, Naveed Muhammad — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Fifteen plants have been searched and mentioned in the article used for urinary tract infections (UTIs). These plants had been clinically proven with proposed mechanisms and traditionally they are in practice for the treatment of UTIs. The data was collected for google scholar with updated references. Among these plants, some are available commercially especially cranberry extracts for purpose as mentioned. These plants like Vaccinium macrocarpon [Cranberry], Echinaceae purpurea [Cone flower], Arctostaphylos uva-ursi [Bearberry], Hydrastis Canadensis [Goldenseal], Agathosmabetulina [Buchu], Equisetum arvense [Horse tail], Berberine,Vaccinium myrtillus [Bilberry; Blueberry],Trans-cinnamaldehyde ,Zea mays [maize], P. granatum [pomegranate],Juniperus communis [juniper],Urtica dioica [nettle],Armoracia rusticana (horseradish),Solidago Canadensis [Goldenrod] are effective like antibiotics and prevent or treat UTIs.

Pharmaceutical Upgrade and Natural Perspective on Mucilage and Gum Applications in Pharmacology and Nanomedicine

Md. Rezaul Islam, Humaira Naz, Hazrat Hamad — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Gums and mucilages are sustainable natural polysaccharides. Plant-based gums and mucins are utilized in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and nanomedicine. Gum tragacanth (from various members of the genus Astragalus) and gum arabic (Acacia senegal (L.) Willd.) are two outstanding examples of these. Natural materials offer superior structural, affordable, nontoxicity, adaptability, biocompatibility, and potential. Plant-based gums and mucilages are preferred for pharmaceutical applications due to biodegradability. They enhance physical and chemical properties and are now primary components in many formulations. Plant-based gums and mucilages are recognized as potential drug delivery materials, enhancing understanding and potential applications in pharmaceutical applications as modified polymeric materials.

Pharmacokinetics of Natural Compounds: Unlocking the Therapeutic Potential

Zubair Ahmad, Bilal Muhammad, Naqash Khan — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The pharmacokinetics of natural compounds is a captivating area of study in modern pharmacology, offering vital insights into the behavior and fate of bioactive molecules sourced from diverse natural origins. Understanding the pharmacokinetic characteristics of these compounds is essential for optimizing their therapeutic efficacy, safety, and potential applications. This mini-review explores the pharmacokinetics of natural compounds, encompassing their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion processes, which influence their bioavailability, tissue distribution, and elimination. Moreover, it emphasizes the significance of pharmacokinetics in guiding drug development and facilitating the translation of natural compounds into effective therapeutics.

Qualitative phytochemicals profile of five different crude solvents of Galium asperifolium Wall

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The objective of this study was to perform a qualitative phytochemical screening of Galium asperifolium Wall extracts (aqueous, ethanol, methanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate) to identify potential bioactive compounds. Tannins, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids, saponins, anthocyanin, cardiac glycosides, coumarins, and alkaloids were detected, suggesting their role in the plant's medicinal properties. Further research is required to explore their pharmacological potential, isolate, and characterize the bioactive compounds responsible for the observed activities and medicinal effects.
