The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Lasianthus stipularis Blume is a medicinal plant found in the tropical rainforests of peninsular Thailand and Malaysia. Its leaves are used in traditional medicine to treat a condition called “noise in the head” (i.e., ear infections). As such infections are often caused by Gram-negative bacteria; this species of Lasianthus may have antibacterial effects. In this study, we examined the non-polar fractions from the leaves and stem bark of L. stipularis using thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The non-polar fractions exhibited a high coumarin content, while stem bark extracts showed a high concentration of 7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin when isolated by column …

Effect Of Co2 Laser Irradiation On Eudragit® L100-55, L100, And S100 Coatings To Modify Drug Release, Varin Titapiwatanakun, Wanjing Li, Simon Gaisford, Abdul W. Basit
The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
The aim of this work was to investigate the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) laser irradiation to modify three types of pH-dependent Eudragit® (L100-55, L100, and S100) enteric coats with the aim of modulating drug release kinetics from the tablet cores. CO2 laser irradiation causes rapid melting and resolidification/vaporization of materials locally and precisely through the absorption of infrared energy and so can potentially disrupt the barrier integrity and function of enteric coats. It was successfully utilized to shorten the lag time of drug release (T50% and T80%) during dissolution testing. These changes were mainly caused either by pore formation …

Group-Based Quantitative Structure And Activity Relationship On Benzothiazole Derivatives For Development Of Potent Anti-Cancer Compounds, Amit S. Tapkir, Sohan S. Chitlange, Ritesh P. Bhole
The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
To develop potent anticancer compounds using benzothiazole scaffolds group-based quantitative structure and activity relationship (GQSAR) analysis was performed on 41 reported benzothiazole derivatives for identification of structural fragments. Benzothiazole dataset was fragmented into two fragments (R1 and R2). GQSAR models were generated using multiple linear regression. GQSAR analysis revealed the presence of hydrophobic groups on R1 will potentiate anticancer activity. The generated models are giving insight into the benzothiazole structural requirements which will be optimized for design of anticancer drugs.

The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
A new series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (3a-j) were synthesized by reacting p-toluic benzhydrazide (1) and substituted aromatic aldehydes (2) in the presence of ceric ammonium nitrate as catalyst and dichloromethane as a solvent medium. The structures of the new compounds were assigned based on IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectral data and further evaluated for their in vitro anti-inflammatory potential using various protein denaturation methods following bovine serum and egg albumin assay. Some tested compounds 3e, 3f, and 3i displayed moderate anti-inflammatory activity compared to the standard diclofenac sodium.

The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
For the assessment of the curative effect of Manosa alliacea on Freud’s adjuvant (FA) arthritis on Swiss albino rats. Methanol extract from M. alliacea (MEMA) was administered orally at 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg, 28 days after FA immunization. For control and treatment groups, paw volume, body weight, hematological parameters, X-ray, and histological tests were measured. In addition, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the levels of various inflammatory markers. In vitro, DPPH and H2O2 tests were used to evaluate the antioxidant capability. MEMA decreased paw volume and paw thickness, bodyweight considerably (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001), compared to hematological anomalies of arthritis control. X- rays tests and histological tests did not reveal significant structural changes in the rat ankle joints administered with MEMA. The levels of expression tumor necrosis factor - α, NF-Kβ, IL-1β, and COX-2 were significantly suppressed in the treatment groups. The in-silico study has shown that a number of chemical components in the plants under study can effectively bind to various inflammatory targets. That is why we say M. alliacea is a good source for treating rheumatoid arthritis.

Background: Drug therapy problems (DTPs) interfere with desired goals of therapy. This study evaluated DTPs in asthma identified during a pharmacist-led intervention in the asthma clinics of two Nigerian hospitals. Methods: This intervention study was conducted in the asthma clinics, University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital and Lagos University Teaching Hospital. Eligible participants were patients with asthma recruited into a pharmacist-led intervention study and followed up for 6 months. The Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe – Drug-related Problem Classification V6.2 in English (PCNE-DRP V6.2) was utilized to evaluate the DTPs. Results: Seventy-eight patients with asthma participated. A total of 158 DTPs were …

Introduction: Moa Chub’s gout formulation (MCHGF), a traditional Thai herbal remedy, is used for the treatment of pain and swelling related to gout. Objective: This study aimed to determine MCHGF’s analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperuricemic effects. Materials and Methods: The analgesic activity of MCHGF was studied in mice using an acetic acid-induced writhing test and the hot-plate method. The anti-inflammatory activity of MCHGF was evaluated in rats using carrageenan-induced paw edema. The antihyperuricemic activity of MCHGF was tested in vivo using the model of potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemia mice. MCHGF doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day were used in this study. …

Background: Peptic ulcer disease is one among the major cause of hospitalization in the gastroenterology department. Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the gastroprotective and anti-ulcerogenic activity of Averrhoa carambola L. aqueous extract and its ghritha formulation on rat models. Materials and Methods: The antiulcer activity of A. carambola L. fruit extract was assessed by inducing ulcer using indomethacin and using pylorus ligation-induced ulcer models. The drug activity was compared to standard drugs omeprazole 30 mg/kg and sucralfate at a dose of 100 mg/kg. The parameters such as gastric pH, gastric acid volume, total acidity, free acidity, and ulcer …

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the anti-arthritic function of methanol extract of Lasia spinosa (MELS) and chlorogenic acid (CA) in the rats of Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) mediated arthritis by in vivo and In silico studies. Materials and Methods: The MELS was subjected to acute oral toxicity in rats and tested against FCA induced arthritis in rats. Large-scale isolation and chromatographical analysis with spectral review verified that CA is responsible for the pharmacological effects reported. The efficacy of MELS and CA against CFA-induced arthritis was subsequently tested for hematological, biochemical, and in vivo anti-oxidant parameters in …

Introduction: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic syndrome (DRESS) is also known as drug hypersensitivity syndrome or drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, is a rare, potentially life-threatening drug reaction that affects multiple organ systems simultaneously. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the DRESS syndrome and its management in a tertiary care hospital in the department of medicine. Materials and Methods: A retrospective evaluation of 227 medical records was conducted among the patients admitted in medicine units. Causality assessment was carried out using Naranjo’s scale and two specific scoring systems. RegiSCAR 1 was utilized to confirm the diagnosis of DRESS …

Precipitation due to supersaturation phenomenon and intraluminal solubilization behavior is mainly faced on reducing bioavailability, particularly for weak base drugs. Incomplete and extend of absorption can be avoided by modification of drug-excipient interaction namely polymers. This interaction is proposed to stabilize the amorphous form of drug through reducing nucleation followed by crystal growth. Therefore, polymers can be utilized to inhibit the precipitation phenomenon through their interaction with poorly water-soluble and weak base drugs. However, until to date, there was no recent updates on the use of polymer for precipitation inhibitor of weak base drug. This review discussed the brief and …
