Recent Advancements in Refashioning of NSAIDs and their Derivatives as Anticancer Candidates
Curr Pharm Des. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.2174/0113816128304230240327044201. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInflammation is critical to the formation and development of tumors and is closely associated with cancer. Therefore, addressing inflammation and the mediators that contribute to the inflammatory process may be a useful strategy for both cancer prevention and treatment. Tumor predisposition can be attributed to inflammation. It has been demonstrated that NSAIDs can modify the tumor microenvironment by enhancing apoptosis and chemosensitivity and reducing cell migration. There has been a recent rise in interest in drug repos...

Association of Parity with the Risks of Gestational Diabetes and Macrosomia: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Nanjing, China
CONCLUSION: Parity was not associated with GDM risk, but mildly associated with macrosomia risk. Particular attention should be paid to multiparae with advanced age to reduce the risks of GDM and macrosomia.PMID:38584550 | DOI:10.2174/0113816128294311240322041144 (Source: Current Pharmaceutical Design)

A Comprehensive Guide to the Development, Evaluation, and Future Prospects of Self-nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems for Poorly Water-soluble Drugs
Curr Pharm Des. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.2174/0113816128296705240327065131. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSelf-Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SNEDDS) are novel formulations that can enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. SNEDDS are composed of lipids, surfactants, co-solvents, and drugs and can spontaneously form nanoemulsions when mixed with water under mild agitation. SNEDDS can be formulated as liquid or solid dosage forms and can improve drug absorption by increasing the interfacial area, protecting the drug from degradation, and facilitating lymphatic transport. SNEDDS is charact...
