A REVIEW OF PHARMACOGENETIC STUDIES CONCERNING GENETICS AND TREATMENT RESPONSE IN PARKINSON'S DISEASE Gajanand Pujari, G. Neethirajan, Arman Dalal, Ramanlal Narayan Kachave, Anuradha Pannu, et al. Bio Web of Conferences, 2026 Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that progressively deteriorates the nervous system. Its causes are multifaceted, involving environmental influences, genetic predispositions, and epigenetic modifications. The main and inciting symptoms of PD are a combination of motor (bradykinesia, rest tremor and rigidity) and non-motor (hallucinations, compulsive behaviours and sleep disorders) symptoms. The existing treatments are mainly composed of a combination of medications that focus on treating the symptoms of the disease by replacing the lost dopamine without identifying the cause of the disease. Although beneficial, these therapies display a concerning amount of heterogeneity in drug response. Pharmacogenetics, a part of pharmacogenomics, helps to highlight the genetic factors that contribute to such heterogeneity in drug response. In the treatment of patients with PD, pharmacogenetic studies are particularly important given the variability of results, primarily concerning levodopa and dopaminergic therapies. This review covers the genetic mutation related to PD genes such as LRRK2, SNCA, and PARK2, which will be taken into account concerning their effects on disease progression and drug response. Genetic polymorphisms can significantly modulate the efficacy and adverse effects of drugs in patients with PD, influencing drug metabolism, transport, and receptor binding, among others, and involve genes such as CYP2D6 and COMT. This would be achieved through the application of pharmacogenetic insights that allow for tailored therapy approaches, optimize dosages, reduce adverse effects, and ensure better patient outcomes. Personalized medicine in PD could potentially enable improvement in treatment strategies based on an individual's genetic profile and thereby enhance management for this complex disease.

Pitfalls of Drug Repurposing and Lesson Learned from COVID-19 Sandeep Purkar, Ramanlal Kachave, Shilpa Harak, Dhanashri Mali, Deepali Bhandari Drug Repurposing for Antivirals, 2025 The new beta coronavirus responsible for the current COVID19 pandemic had started to spread among people towards the end of 2019. Unmatched global searches were conducted to identify and reuse antiviral drugs from lists of approved drugs and recognised bioactive compounds. Antiviral drug development standards were rapidly circumvented, which often led to unsatisfactory results. The main drawbacks of this technique include promiscuous or cytotoxic compounds resulting in false positives. Several articles, press announcements, and media posts misled readers and occasionally diverted important attention from the search for reusable drugs. Funding for clinical trials with a low possibility of success, the empirical identification of factors that mitigate clinical indicators—such as the development of better disease management through immunomodulators and promiscuous/cytotoxic substances that cause inaccurate results—has led to breakthroughs in the clinic instead of in the lab.
Exploring Herbal Remedies: Traditional Wisdom Meets Modern Science Deepali D. Bhandari, Komal S. Hatkar, Sharayu P. Rathod, Ramanlal R. Kachave, Sunil V. Amrutkar, et al. Herbal Nanotherapy for Diabetes, 2025 This review examines how traditional medicine and recent science can coexist in the branch of herbal drugs, emphasizing the safety and effectiveness of natural therapies in modern healthcare. The long history of herbal remedies, which are ingrained in cultural customs, is experiencing a revival in tandem with the growing demand for customized and all-encompassing healthcare. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a severe long-term metabolic condition that is linked to hyperglycemia and several side effects, such as chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. A long-standing practice that has been handed down through the years, herbal medicine is gaining popularity again as its potential advantages become more widely recognized. The antihypoglycaemic properties of the phytochemicals found in medicinal plants (Allium sativum, Momordica charantia, Hibiscus sabdariffa L., and Zingiber officinalis) can overcome and/or prevent diabetes mellitus. The results also showed that vitamin C, D, E, or their mixture lowers blood pressure, lipid peroxidation, blood glucose, and inflammation in diabetic individuals. The health advantages of vitamins and medicinal plants as chemotherapeutic/preventive medicines for the control of diabetes, however, have not been well studied. It explores the safety profiles of herbal treatments and applies a rigorous scientific examination to them. This review aims to investigate and analyze DM and to close the information gap by examining diabetes mellitus (DM) and emphasizing the hypoglycaemic qualities of the most effective medicinal herbs and vitamins that can avoid and/or lower DM. This review contributes to the ongoing conversation in a world where combining modern science and ancient wisdom holds promise for improving healthcare. The intention is to improve global well-being by combining the best aspects of both worlds.

Catechins as Catalase Modulators: A Comprehensive In-silico Analysis Unveiling their Potential Antioxidant Effects Harshal Tare, Ujjwala Thube, Ramanlal Kachave, Vijay Wagh, Babaso Udugade International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, 2023 This research explores the potential of carefully selected catechins as catalase modulators, leveraging their documented antioxidant effects. The catalase protein’s structural quality was rigorously evaluated, revealing an overall high-quality 3D structure. Ligand-based virtual screening identified ten novel catechin hits with promising interactions, presenting candidates designed for new validation. Molecular docking simulations demonstrated robust binding empathies between selected catechins and catalase, with CHEMBL223855 exhibiting the highest affinity. ADMET analysis highlighted CHEMBL223855 as a promising candidate for drug development, boasting favorable properties, including high gastrointestinal absorption and absence of blood-brain barrier permeation. Despite medicinal chemistry alerts and lead likeness violations, this comprehensive analysis guides future experimental validation efforts, supporting the potential of these catechins as effective catalase modulators.
Computational Identification of Methionyl-tRNA-Synthetase Inhibitors for Brucella melitensis: A Hybrid of Ligand-based Classic 3-Point Pharmacophore Screening and Structure Cavity Guided Blind Docking Approach Sumit Deore, Ramanlal Kachave, Pranjal Gholap, Kiran Mahajan, Harshal Tare International Journal of Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance, 2023 This study employs a hybrid computational approach to identify potential methionyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors for Brucella melitensis. Utilizing ligand-based pharmacophore screening and structure-based blind docking, we selected a lead compound, CHEMBL349379, from the ChEMBL 2D database. Docking simulations revealed high binding affinity and favorable interactions. Lead optimization using ADMETlab 2.0 demonstrated promising drug-like properties, but a detailed toxicity analysis highlighted concerns. Experimental validation is needed to confirm inhibitory potential and address toxicity issues. This approach streamlines the identification of potential therapeutic agents for B. melitensis treatment.
