Abstract

Background: CDD disorder affects children mainly during their first three months of life. The buccal route offers advantages over oral administration for ganaxolone by avoiding first-pass metabolism and providing direct systemic absorption. This study aimed to formulate and characterise mucoadhesive buccal films of ganaxolone to increase its bioavailability. Methods: Mucoadhesive buccal films were prepared using a solvent casting technique employing HPMC K4M and Moringa gum as polymers. The formulation was optimized using a 32-factorial design, where polymer concentrations were varied systematically to achieve optimal film properties. Nine batches (OF1-OF9) were formulated and evaluated for various physicochemical parameters, mucoadhesive strength, percentage drug content, goat buccal mucosa permeation study, and stability analysis. Results: Based on the findings, the OF8 batch containing optimal polymer ratio (250mg HPMC K4M and 60mg Moringa gum) emerged as the superior formulation with 94.45±0.34% drug content, 15.37±0.58 N/mm² tensile strength, and 7.8±0.57 N mucoadhesive strength. Permeation studies consequently confirmed 96.37% of the drug at 8 hours with a 13.63 µg /cm² /h permeation rate. There was no evidence of drug-excipient interaction in FTIR and DSC analysis. The formulation was set to be stable for 6 months at accelerated conditions (40±2°C, 75±5% RH) with an average tensile strength above 15 N/mm² and an average ex-vivo drug permeation of 93%. Conclusion: This optimized buccal film formulation demonstrates promising potential for clinical application in CDD treatment by offering enhanced bioavailability, controlled release, and patient-friendly administration, which is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients.

Abstract

Background: The estrogen alpha receptor (ERα) is critical in breast carcinogenesis. Although selective estrogen receptor modulators like tamoxifen are clinically used, their adverse effects highlight the need for safer alternatives. The study uses computational methods to identify potential ERα inhibitors within a benzimidazole scaffold. Methodology: This study employed computational approaches, including pharmacophore generation, 3D-QSAR, virtual screening, molecular docking, and in silico ADME/Tox analysis. The best pharmacophore model (DDRRR_1) identified two hydrogen donors and three aromatic rings as critical features. Moreover, a rigorous external validation was used on decoy databases with optimized metrics (ROC, BEDROC, AUROC). A subsequent atom-based 3D-QSAR model with a high correlation coefficient (R² = 0.9), cross-validated coefficient (Q² = 0.8), and Fisher ratio (F = 80.1) was developed. Benzimidazole scaffolds from PubChem were screened, followed by docking against ERα (PDB ID: 3ERT) and ADMET profiling. Results and Discussion: The pharmacophore model validated the importance of the identified features. The 3D-QSAR model effectively screened benzimidazole scaffolds, with five component PLS factors, supporting the pharmacophore findings. This model effectively screened benzimidazole scaffolds obtained from the PubChem database, followed by molecular docking against the targeted protein ERα (PDB ID: 3ERT) and identified five promising compounds. ADME/Tox profiling revealed PubChem ID 3074802 (2-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl) ethyl]1H-benzimidazole) has favourable pharmacokinetics and a low toxicity profile. Conclusion: These findings indicate that PubChem ID 3074802 is a promising candidate for further therapeutic drug development in breast cancer treatment. It demonstrates the highest binding affinity (-9.842 kcal/mol) compared to the standard drug Tamoxifen (-5.357 kcal/mol) and exhibits a favorable ADME/Tox profile.

Abstract

Background: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, resulting from an imbalance between aggressive and protective factors, leading to mucosal erosion. Various factors influence its pathogenesis, including Helicobacter pylori infection, NSAID use, and oxidative stress. Objective: We review PUD epidemiology, varying experimental models, and mechanistic insights into PUD and promising therapeutics. Methodology: We systematically reviewed previous literature on PUD, including epidemiological trends, commonly used in vivo, and molecular mechanisms. Results and discussion: The global prevalence of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) follows an epidemiological pattern influenced by geography, lifestyle, and genetic factors. Experimental models using ethanol, NSAIDs, or Helicobacter pylori induction provide valuable insights into disease progression and pathophysiology. Emerging trends:  Recent research in peptic ulcer disease focuses on molecular mechanisms, gut microbiome interactions, personalized therapies, and novel pharmacological agents. Molecular studies explore genetic and epigenetic factors influencing ulcer formation, while microbiome research examines the role of gut bacteria beyond H. pylori. Personalized treatment approaches use genetic profiling and biomarkers to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. Additionally, emerging pharmacological agents aim to improve acid suppression, promote mucosal healing, and develop more effective H. pylori eradication strategies. Conclusion: A deeper understanding of PUD pathophysiology through epidemiological studies and experimental models can aid in developing novel, targeted therapies. Future research should focus on alternative treatments, including phytochemicals and probiotics, to enhance ulcer prevention and management.
