Demystifying therapeutic potential of medicinal plants against chikungunya virus
Sukender Kumar, Chanchal Garg, Samander Kaushik, Harpal Singh Buttar, Munish GargIndian Journal of Pharmacology 2021 53(5):403-411
Viral infections are posing a great threat to humanity for the last few years. Among these, Chikungunya which is a mosquito-borne viral infection has produced enormous epidemics around the world after been rebounded. Although this infection shows a low mortality rate, patients suffer from fever, arthralgia, and maculopapular rashes, which reduce the quality of life for several weeks to years. The currently available treatments only provide symptomatic relief based on analgesics, antipyretics, ...

Evidences suggesting a possible role of Vitamin D in COVID 19: The missing link
This article reviews mechanisms and evidence suggesting the role Vitamin D plays in people infected by the newly identified COVID-19 virus. For this review, we searched the databases of Medline, PubMed, and Embase. We studied several meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials evaluating the role of Vitamin D in influenza and other contagious viral infections. We also reviewed the circumstantial and anecdotal evidence connecting Vitamin D with COVID-19 emerging recently. Consequently, it seems logical to conclude that the immune-enhancing, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and lung-protective role of Vitamin D can be potent...

Sulfasalazine-induced drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome in a seronegative spondyloarthritis patient: A Case report
The objectives were to evaluate drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome due to sulfasalazine and to carry out the pharmacoeconomic assessment associated with this adverse drug reaction (ADR). A 37-year woman was presented with rashes, fever, cough, and dyspnea. In the past 3 months, she was on sulfasalazine for inflammatory polyarthritis and seronegative spondyloarthritis. The diagnosis was based on raised eosinophils count, breathing difficulty, and typical pattern of rashes. Significant improvement was seen after discontinuation of sulfasalazine and with the initiation of parenteral corticosteroids. Th...

Pseudogynecomastia: A chance occurrence with acitretin
Seema Rani, Soumya SachdevaIndian Journal of Pharmacology 2021 53(5):388-390
Psoriatic involvement of nails manifests in the form of irregular, deep and large pits, splinter hemorrhages, subungual hyperkeratosis, oil drop spot, and onycholysis of the nail bed. Retinoids are one of the treatment modalities for nail psoriasis. Pseudogynecomastia is an uncommonly reported side effect of retinoids. We hereby describe an 11-year-old adolescent who developed pseudogynecomastia posttreatment with acitretin for nail psoriasis. (Source: Indian Journal of Pharmacology)

Antidiabetic activity of Commiphora mukul and Phyllanthus emblica and Computational analysis for the identification of active principles with dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory activity
Ipseeta Ray Mohanty, C Selvaa Kumar, Manjusha BordeIndian Journal of Pharmacology 2021 53(5):384-387
The medicinal plants may serve as natural alternatives to synthetic antidiabetic medications such as dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, which are commonly prescribed in clinical practise. The medicinal plants: Commiphora mukul and Phyllanthus emblica have considerable DPP-IV inhibitory efficacy, according to our findings. The present study is an extension of the previous study conducted in our laboratory and was designed to confirm the antidiabetic effects of C. mukul and P. emblica in the streptozotocin diabetes...
