Patient-centric drug development is a divisive concept. Dismissed as a buzzword by some. Adopted extensively by others. It has, nevertheless, gained enormous traction over the last decade. This new approach to treatment incorporates patient perspectives into drug development. A key benefit is the keener focus on convenience and safe drug administration. Traditional approaches, prioritising ...
In the world of pharmaceuticals, developing safe and effective drugs is a complex and time-consuming process. Before a new drug candidate can progress to clinical trials and ultimately reach the market, it needs to undergo rigorous testing in various model systems to assess its efficacy and safety. One critical component of this evaluation is the use of preclinical animal models. Preclinical ...
Carfilzomib, a proteasome inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma (multiple myeloma, MM) is a malignant tumor originating from the B cell lineage, characterized by the clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow microenvironment, causing fractures and bone marrow failure, and is the second most common blood system ...
According to the latest IDF Diabetes map, the global prevalence of diabetes reached 10.5% in 2021, with 537 million adults living with diabetes. China has become a disaster zone for diabetes, with the largest number of adults with diabetes in the world. In the past 10 years (2011-2021), the number of people with diabetes in China increased from 90 million to 140 million, an increase of 56%. The ...

Herb- and plant-based medicines have been used for as long as 60,000 years, with the first written record dating to 7,000 years ago. While these medicines have survived scientific evaluation with varying success, one in four medications currently used has a plant-based origin. One of the most successful medications treats a vector-borne disease. With all this history, why aren’t we ...
Due to the amphiphilic nature of lipids in liposomes, they can serve as candidate vehicles for drug delivery, and liposomes have received more attention than other systems because of their remarkable ability to deliver drugs to their target sites. Advantages of Liposomes as Drug Delivery Vehicles l As drug delivery vehicles, liposomes have low toxicity and immunogenicity, and the high ...
Liposomes are a novel drug delivery system (DDS). They are bimolecular vesicles that form spontaneously when phospholipids are dispersed in water. Liposomes vary in size, composition and charge and can be used as carriers for a wide range of drug molecules, such as chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial and antiviral drugs, antiparasitic drugs, genetic material, vaccines, therapeutic proteins, ...
Canagliflozin is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a third-line medication to be tried after metformin, a first-line medication for type 2 diabetes. It is used together with exercise and diet. It is not recommended in type 1 diabetes. Mechanism action of Canagliflozin Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitor. Glucose filtered in the renal tubular lumen is ...
