Background: Landiolol, a highly cardioselective agent with a short half-life (2.4–4 min), is commonly used as a perfusor or bolus application to treat tachycardic arrhythmia. Some small studies suggest that prior oral β-blocker use results...

Psoriasis, a chronic immune-mediated skin disorder affecting over 125 million people globally, is characterized by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and immune cell infiltration. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) remains underutilized in the treatment of...

Graphene has become a prominent material in cancer research in recent years. Graphene and its derivatives also attract attention as carriers in drug delivery systems. In this study, we designed a graphene oxide (GO)-based methotrexate (MTX)-loaded an...

Therapeutics for actively targeting over-expressed receptors are of great interest because the majority of diseased tissues originate from normal cells and do not possess a unique receptor from which they can be differentiated. One such receptor is C...

Background: The lack of reliable biomarkers in response to anti-TNFα biologicals hinders personalized therapy for Crohn’s disease (CD) patients. The motivation behind our study is to shift the paradigm of anti-TNFα biomarker discove...

The tyrosine kinase Inhibitor (TKI) imatinib is approved for the treatment of the chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML). Pharmacokinetic studies have highlighted the importance of inter-patient variability on imatinib plasma trough conce...

The inhibition of the immune response in the tumor microenvironment by therapy regimens can impede the eradication of tumors, potentially resulting in tumor metastasis. As a non-invasive therapeutic method, radiotherapy is utilized for tumor ablation...

The introduction of the Quality by Design concept in 2004 has brought a paradigm shift in the pharmaceutical industry as well as a new era in pharmaceutical research and development [...]

The objective of the present investigation was to evidence the skin retardation phenomenon of lidocaine by gluconic acid as an inactive ingredient involved in citrate-crosslinking chitosan nanoparticles. Lidocaine hydrochloride was loaded in nanopart...

The high prevalence of acne, which affects nearly 85% of adolescents and young adults, underscores the importance of exploring new therapeutic solutions. The aim of the present study was to design a stable hydrogel formulation containing tetracycline...
