By producing reactive oxygen species, primarily reactive hydroxyl radicals, iron overload may contribute to cellular damage and change the integrity of essential organelles. Echinacea Purpura; a medical plant with a root liquid extract contains various biologically active phytochemical compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of Echinacea Purpura on bone marrow suppression with liver and spleen cells apoptosis induced by iron overload. Fifty albino rats were divided into five groups: Group (I) [negative control] intraperitoneally injection with (0.2 ml) normal saline solution every 3 days; with daily oral gavage of (1 ml) normal saline for 4 weeks.

... Show MoreThe unique opportunity lies in targeting tumor cells through glycolysis, a pathway that compensates for decreased ATP production by increasing sugar consumption. This strategy allows for the development of a novel therapeutic approach, targeting malignant cells with selective pharmacological inhibitors of glycolysis without harming normal cells. In this study, hexokinase, glycolytic enzyme, was targeting to selectively inhibit energy production pathways in cancer cells without harming normal cells. The anticancer mechanisms of 2 Deoxy-D-Glucose (2DG) and Mannoheptulose (MH) in esophagus adenocarcinoma (SK-GT-4) and HBL-100 normal cell lines were investigated using MTT and wound healing assays to assess their cytotoxic effects and cellula
... Show MoreDoxorubicin is a potent anthracycline antibiotic used to treat many types of human neoplasms. The long-term adverse effect is cardiomyopathy, which is primarily caused by the extensive production of reactive oxygen species, which relates to several events related to nucleic acid metabolism and the activation of the immune system. Chromium is a trace element mostly utilized to regulate glucose levels and enhance the body's response to insulin, particularly in people with diabetes. Chromium picolinate often contains Chromium in its trivalent state, coupled with picolinic acid. The current study aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of chromium picolinate in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity of rats. Twenty eight Wister male rats w
... Show MoreOne of the most potent and effective drugs in the field of chemotherapy is doxorubicin. It has shown remarkable efficacy against multiple cancer targets. Despite the effectiveness of this treatment, an important drawback is the cardiotoxicity caused by doxorubicin. This limitation has led oncologists to explore potential ways to prevent or reduce this toxic side effect. We will investigate in this study whether saxagliptin and telmisartan have any protective effects on heart tissue. We will study their effects on oxidative stress and apoptotic indicators in particular.

This study presents the newly synthesized compounds (G1-G6) that exhibit promising DHPS inhibition activities, designed through a molecular docking analysis targeting the Yersinia pestis DHPS protein (PDB ID: 5JQ9). The docked compounds were subsequently subjected to ADME study to evaluate their pharmacokinetic properties. This work started with the synthesis of the glycine methyl ester HCL salt by esterification of the carbonyl group of the carboxylic acid functionality of glycine with thionyl chloride and methanol and the synthesis of 4-acetamidobenzene sulfonyl chloride from acetanilide, the reaction of the latter two intermediates using the TEA as base and neutralizing age

Among the many NSAIDs generated from phenyl acetic acid is Aceclofenac, or ACE. Its antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects are noteworthy. However, the substance's delayed dissolution, limit permeability, and inadequate bioavailability are caused by its low solubility in water, which hinders its usefulness. Nanosponges (NS) are tiny particles with nanoscale holes and a distinctive three-dimensional nanostructure. The incorporation of both water-soluble and fat-soluble molecules into these hollow spaces enhances the efficacy and safety of medication delivery.
