Bioactives and pharmacology of Legumes
A variety of bioactives and therapeutics from the legume family (Fabaceae or Leguminosae) are thoroughly detailed. For each species included in the volume, a brief introduction is given, the plant’s bioactive compounds are listed, and its chemical structures shown, followed by their pharmacological activities. Many of these plants have medicinal activities that include antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective and cardioprotective. The biochemical characteristics of the 37 plants included, such as the type of starch, protein, and fibers, can be exploited as binders, excipients, thickeners, and dispersants in the formulation of various products in the pharmaceutical industry. The published literature on the pharmacological activities on each species is reviewed and presented in a concise and clear manner.

The chapters investigate a wide variety of species, providing for each an introduction, characteristics, properties, distribution, traditional uses, and current and potential pharmacological applications. Aiming to be a resource for the development of new drugs based on species within the Lamiaceae family, the volume discusses 26 species, including bungleweed (Ajuga), Malabar catmint (Anisomeles malabarica), beechwood (Gmelina arborea), Brazilian mint (Hyptis crenata), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), and many more.
Aspirin and omeprazole pellets
The objective of this study was to combine Aspirin and Omeprazole which are often used together in a singular capsule. Aspirin is a common drug for relieving minor aches, pains, and fevers. People also use it as an anti-inflammatory or a blood thinner. Because of its regular and continuous usage, it may cause peptic ulcers. Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine which can be uncomfortable and painful. Consequently, people with ulcers resort to omeprazole to treat them...
Apitherapy and therapeutic properties
Apitherapy is an alternate therapy that relies on the usage of honeybee products, most importantly bee venom for the treatment of many human diseases. Bee venom contains several active molecules such as peptides and enzymes that have advantageous potential in treating inflammation and central nervous system diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease and autoimmume diseases like reumatic and atherosclerosis .Bee venom (BV) is usually associated with pain since, when humans are stung by bees,local inflammation and even an allergic reaction can be produced. It also consists of a mixture of proteins and peptides, including enzymes such as Melittin and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) are the most abundant and studied compounds of BV Stings of hymenoptera can induce IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions in venom-allergic patients, ranging from local up to severe systemic reactions and even fatal anaphylaxis. skin is larger than any other organ in humans.
Antioxidants as nutraceuticals
Provides a comprehensive overview of antioxidants and nutraceuticals, including their sources, mechanisms of action, and health benefits, this new volume first covers the basics of the types of antioxidants as nutraceuticals, including the importance of phytochemical antioxidants and their nutritional and pharmacological intervention in the treatment of disease. It discusses the natural origins of antioxidants, classification, mechanisms of action, calculation of antioxidant potential of nutraceutical substances, safety, toxicity, and their significant involvement in the prevention of many degenerative and chronic diseases.
Anti-Obesity drugs
As a chronic and relapsing disease, obesity impairs metabolism and causes diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Although behavioral modification is important for the treatment of obesity, it is difficult to achieve an ideal weight or sustain the process of long-term weight loss. Therefore, the obesity control guidelines strongly recommend lifestyle interventions along with medical treatment for patients who are overweight. There is sufficient evidence supporting that pharmacotherapy in combination with behavior-based interventions can result in significant weight loss and improvement of the health.
Antidepressants Beyond Depression, and Into Bacteria
Antidepressants are one of the most predominant drug groups in the pharmaceutical world, primary care units and the general public. Their original use was majorly for the treatment of depression along with other mental disorders. Today, antidepressant consume over 20% of the medical prescriptions and healthcare plans due to their recently discovered applications outside the psychiatry field. Due to the alarming rise of antibiotic resistance and the slow pace of new drug discovery, the world has been searching frantically for new or alternative drugs with antibacterial activity. Repurposing already FDA- approved drugs for uses that are off-label has become an important preposition in the pharmacy world due to its availability, low risk and low cost.
Anticoagulants and coronary artery disease
Blood thinners are medicines that help blood flow smoothly through your veins and arteries. There are two. The first is called anticoagulants (Warfarin, Heparin, Enoxaparin) and The second class of blood thinners is called antiplatelet (Aspirin, Ticagrelor , Clopidogrel). . Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Coronary artery disorder or disease can have serious implications by reducing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. This can lead to a heart attack and possibly death. Atherosclerosis. Medications to reduce the risk of blood clots, such as anticoagulants (including aspirin) and antiplatelet. , in particular aspirin, are effective in preventing platelet activation and thus thrombus formation and Clopidogrel is an inhibitor of platelet activation.
Anticoagulants
Anticoagulant are drugs that, when added to blood, prevents it from clotting. It does this by suppressing the synthesis or function of various clotting factors that are normally present in the blood. These drugs are frequently used to prevent the formation of blood clots (thrombi) in the veins or arteries or the enlargement of a clot that is circulating in the bloodstream. Anticoagulants are very effective in preventing life-threatening conditions...
Antibiotic users behavior in Syria between pharmacists and consumers
In an attempt to study antibiotic resistance in the syria, we studied the impact of consumer behavior On resistance. We conducted a study of pharmacists within a number(69) distributed in Damascus, and a study among consumers distributed among different regions, and the results are in the studies section.
Antibacterial effects of Algae
An alarm increase in the rate of emerging of resistance bacteria have been causing a great public concern worldwide. This problem of increasing resistance has necessitated the search for safe and effective factors that may be used to treat persistent bacterial infections or modify the currently available antibiotic. This study deals with the antimicrobial potential assessment of ulva flexuosa , ulva flexuosa was collected from at MAZAR ELKHODER. Crude organic extracts were prepared using methanolic and chloroformic extract and tested against 6 indicator microorganisms using the disk diffusion method and also applied against biofilm ( dental plaque).
Alternative medicines for diabetes management : Advances in pharmacognosy and medicinal chemistry
Apart from diet and exercise, the strategic use of different classes of prescribed or non-prescribed xenobiotic compounds for the restoration of euglycemic levels in the body is well known. The ongoing rivalry between the recommended usage of allopathic medicines versus ayurvedic remedies has encouraged many researchers to focus their studies on thoroughly isolating and characterizing the extracts from different parts of plants and then evaluating their relative activities via in vitro, in vivo and in some cases clinical studies.
