Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science, 2025
This study aims to evaluate the antibiogram and antibacterial activity of Crassocephalum crepidioides leaf extract against the bacterial strains isolated from infected wounds. A total of 69 swab samples were obtained from various cases of infected wounds and 20 pure bacterial strains were isolated. The most prevalent organisms isolated from wound infections were Staphylococcus species and Escherichia coli (25%), followed by Klebsiella species (15%), Proteus species (10%), Providencia species (10%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5%), Acinetobacter baumannii (5%), and Enterobacter hormaechei (5%). The susceptibility pattern of all bacterial isolates was assessed against antibiotic discs using the Kirby Bauer Disc diffusion method. The results revealed that Gram-positive cocci exhibited 100 % susceptibility to Amikacin, Bacitracin, Oxytetracycline, and Vancomycin, however, showed 80% resistance to Novobiocin, Amoxicillin, Cephalothin, Erythromycin. Conversely, Gram-negative bacilli exhibited high resistance levels, including 86.7% to Ciprofloxacin, 80% to Carbericillin and Nitrofurantoin, 66.7% to Streptomycin and Tetracycline, 60% resistance to Co- Trimazine; however, they showed 73.3% sensitivity to Amikacin and 53.3% sensitivity to Kanamycin. Among the 20 bacterial strains, 13 (65%) were identified as multidrug-resistant (MDR) and 4 (20%) were extensively drug-resistant (XDR). In vitro antibacterial activity assay revealed that C. crepidioides leaf extract was found to be effective against all the Staphylococcus spp., E. hormaechei, A. baumannii, Providencia spp., two E. coli isolates and one Klebsiella spp. with the zone size ranging from 10.83 ± 0.28 to 25.83 ± 1.04, with minimum inhibitory concentration between 2.5 and 40 mg/ml, however, resistant to P. aeruginosa, Proteus spp., three E. coli isolates and two Klebsiella spp. Staphylococcus spp. was found to be the most inhibited wound isolates by C. crepidioides leaf extract. These findings suggest that C. crepidioides leaf extract has the potential to develop antibacterial agents against the MDR and XDR organisms causing wound infection, emphasizing the significant role of plant extracts in treating bacterial wound infections, thereby preventing the delay of the wound healing process.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a valuable model organism in toxicology and drug discovery research. This article provides an overview of the significant contributions of zebrafish to advancing our understanding of toxicology and drug development. Zebrafish offers several advantages, including high fecundity, transparent embryos, and genetic tractability, making it an ideal system for studying drug toxicity and efficacy. The review article highlights key areas where zebrafish has made substantial contributions, such as assessing chemical toxicity, understanding drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, and identifying novel therapeutic compounds. Furthermore, zebrafish-based assays and screening platforms have been developed to evaluate drug candidates and identify potential toxic effects and researchers have used zebrafish-based tests to study the therapeutic properties of natural compounds. The unique capabilities of zebrafish with its physiological and genetic similarities to humans, have propelled it to the forefront of toxicology and drug discovery, expanding the frontiers of research in these fields.

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science, 2025
Disinfectants are vital for infection prevention and environmental health maintenance. However, the use of chemical disinfectants has adverse effects on human health, including the development of antibiotic-resistance genes and resistance to disinfectants due to overuse and abuse. There is a critical need to find natural alternatives to reduce the problems caused by chemical disinfectants. The present study analyzed the antimicrobial activity of Syzygium cumini leaf extract (SCLE) against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mucor sp., Candida albicans, and Aspergillus niger and its efficacy as a natural disinfectant was also evaluated, along with GC-MS analysis and in vitro toxicity test. The study showed that SCLE exhibited antimicrobial activity against all test organisms except A. niger. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, Mucor sp., and C. albicans was 625, 1,250, 78, and 1,250 μg/ml, respectively. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa was 1,250 and 2,500 μg/ml, respectively. The minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) against Mucor sp. and C. albicans was 156 and 5,000 μg/ml, respectively. SCLE demonstrated bactericidal and fungicidal properties based on MIC: MBC and MIC: MFC, with significant reductions in P. aeruginosa (99.99%), S. aureus (90.71%), Mucor sp. (92%), and C. albicans (73.45%) after the treatment. Syzygium cumini leaf extract, identified as nontoxic with an IC50 of 320μg/ml, proves promising as a potent natural disinfectant. This study marks the first report on the efficacy of S. cumini leaf extract against test organisms, showcasing its potential as a natural disinfecting agent against test organisms.

Elucidating the interplay of PPAR gamma inhibition and energy demand in adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy: In Vitro and In Vivo perspective

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, 2024
Adriamycin is an anticancer anthracycline drug that inhibits the progression of topoisomerase II activity and causes apoptosis. The effective clinical application of the drug is very much limited by its adverse drug reactions on various tissues. Most importantly, Adriamycin causes cardiomyopathy, one of the life‐threatening complications of the drug. Altered expression of PPARγ in adipocytes inhibited the glucose and fatty acids uptake by down regulating GLUT4 and CD36 expression and causes cardiotoxicity. Therefore, the influence of Adriamycin in cardiac ailments was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Adriamycin treated rats showed altered ECG profile, arrhythmic heartbeat with the elevated levels of CRP and LDH. Dysregulated lipid profiles with elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides were also observed. Possibilities of cardiac problems due to cardiomyopathy were analyzed through histopathology. Adriamycin treated rats showed no signs for atheromatous plaque formation in aorta but disorganized cardiomyocytes with myofibrillar loss and inflammation in heart tissue, indicative of cardiomyopathy. Reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes confirmed the incidence of oxidative stress. Adriamycin treatment significantly reduced glucose and insulin levels, creating energy demand due to decreased glucose and insulin levels with increased fatty acid accumulation, ultimately resulting in oxidative stress mediated cardiomyopathy. Since PPARs play a vital role in regulating oxidative stress, the effect of Adriamycin on PPARγ was analyzed by western blot. Adriamycin downregulated PPARγ in a dose‐dependent manner in H9C2 cells in vitro. Overall, our study suggests that Adriamycin alters glucose and lipid metabolism via PPARγ inhibition that leads to oxidative stress and cardiomyopathy that necessitates a different therapeutic approach.

Nanomaterials, 2022
Doxorubicin is an extensively prescribed antineoplastic agent. It is also known for adverse effects, among which cardiotoxicity tops the list. The possible mechanism underlying doxorubicin (DOX)-mediated cardiotoxicity has been investigated in this study. Further, to reduce the DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity, DOX was conjugated with Chitosan Nanoparticles (DCNPs) and supplemented with propionic acid. Initially, the drug loading efficacy and conjugation of DOX with chitosan was confirmed by UV–Visible Spectroscopy (UV) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The average sizes of the synthesized Chitosan Nanoparticles (CNPs) and DCNPs were measured by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis as 187.9 ± 1.05 nm and 277.3 ± 8.15 nm, respectively, and the zeta potential values were recorded as 55.2 ± 0.7 mV and 51.9 ± 1.0 mV, respectively. The size and shape of CNPs and DCNPs were recorded using a High-Resolution Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). The particles measured <30 nm and 33–84 nm, respectively. The toxic effects of DCNPs and propionic acid were evaluated in rat model. The data from the electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac biomarkers, Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and histological observations indicated evidence of DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity, whereas the administration of DCNPs, as well as Propionic Acid (PA), brought about a restoration to normalcy and offered protection in the context of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.
