    Abstract Skin is a defensive barrier that protects the body against sun rays and other harmful environmental elements. Sun rays contain ultraviolet rays, UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB (280-320 nm), which are highly harmful to the skin, leading to photoaging. Nowadays, sunscreen products are being utilized to protect the skin against photodamage. Conventional sunscreens are useful but cannot provide skin protection against UV rays for a longer period of time. Therefore, they need to be applied frequently. Aromatic compounds (ACs)-based sunscreens may filter out the UV rays but give rise to several side effects, like premature aging, stress, atopic dermatitis, keratinocytes (KCs) damage, genetic interruption, and malignant melanoma due to deposition of their toxic metabolites on the skin. The concept of natural medicines has become popular worldwide because of their safety and efficacy. Natural medicines have been proven to possess a wide array of biological properties, including antioxidant, antityrosinase, antielastase, antiwrinkle, antiaging, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, etc., against sun rays-mediated skin damage. The present review article is focused on UV-induced oxidative stress, and pathological and molecular targets with updates on herbal bioactives for the management of skin aging.

    Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a multifactorial disorder of the large intestine, especially the colon, and has become a challenge globally. Allopathic medicines are primarily available for the treatment and prevention of UC. However, their uses are limited due to several side effects. Hence, an alternative therapy is of utmost importance in this regard. Herbal medicines are considered safe and effective for managing human health problems. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), the herbal-derived bioactive, has been reported for pharmacological effects like antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, etc. This review aims to understand the antiinflammatory and chemopreventive potential of CGA against UC. Apart from its excellent therapeutic potential, it has been associated with low absorption and poor oral bioavailability. In this context, colon-specific novel drug delivery systems (NDDS)are pioneering to overcome these problems. The pertinent literature was compiled from a thorough search on various databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, etc., utilizing numerous keywords, including ulcerative colitis, herbal drugs, CGA, pharmacological activities, mechanism of actions, nanoformulations, clinical updates, and many others. Relevant publications accessed till now were chosen, whereas non-relevant papers, unpublished data, and non-original articles were excluded. The present review comprises recent studies on pharmacological activities and novel drug delivery systems of CGA for managing UC. In addition, the clinical trials of CGA against UC have been discussed.

    Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a life-threatening complex disease. It causes chronic intestinal inflammation in GIT. IBD significantly affects people's lifestyles and carries a high risk of colon cancer. IBD involves the rectum, ileum, and colon, with clinical manifestations of bloody stools, weight loss, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The prevalence of inflammatory disease is increasing dramatically worldwide. Over 16 million people are affected annually in India, with an economic burden of $6.8- $8.8 billion for treatment. Modern medicine can manage IBD as immunosuppressive agents, corticosteroids, tumor necrosis factor antagonists, integrin blockers, and amino-salicylates. However, these approaches are allied with limitations such as limited efficacy, drug resistance, undesired side effects, and overall cost, which cannot be ignored. Hence, the herbal bioactives derived from various plant resources can be employed in managing IBD. Science Direct, PubMed, Google, and Scopus databases have been searched for conclusively relevant herbal plant-based anti-inflammatory agent compositions. Studies were screened through analysis of previously published review articles. Eminent herbal bioactives, namely curcumin, resveratrol, ellagic acid, silybin, catechin, kaempferol, icariin, glycyrrhizin acid, berberine, quercetin, rutin, and thymol are reported to be effective against IBD. Herbal leads are promising treatment options for IBD; they have been shown to display antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties by targeting enzymes and regulating the expressions of various inflammatory mediators. Natural products have been reported to have anti-inflammatory properties in various clinical and preclinical studies, and some are available as herbal preparations. Herbal medicine would be promising in association with the implication of a novel drug delivery system for managing IBD.

    Abstract COVID-19 was caused by a novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2. The COVID-19 disease outbreak has been avowed as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization at the end of March 2020. It leads to the global economic crash, resulting in the starvation of a large population belonging to economically backward countries. Hence, the development of an alternative medicine along with the vaccine is of the utmost importance for the management of COVID-19. Therefore, screening of several herbal leads was performed to explore their potential against SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, viral main protease was selected as a key enzyme for performing the study. Various computational approaches, including molecular docking simulation, were used in the current study to find potential inhibitors of viral main protease from a library of 150 herbal leads. Toxicity and ADME prediction of selected molecules were also analysed by Osiris molecular property explorer software. Molecular dynamic simulation of the top 10 docked herbal leads was analysed for stability using 100 ns. Taraxerol (-10.17 kcal/mol), diosgenin (10.12 kcal/mol), amyrin (-9.56 kcal/mol), and asiaticoside (-9.54 kcal/mol) were among the top four herbal leads with the highest binding affinity with the main protease enzyme. Thus, taraxerol was found to be an effective drug candidate against the main protease enzyme for the management of COVID-19. Furthermore, its clinical effect and safety profile need to be established through an in vivo model.

    Abstract Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenolic phytoalexin, and belongs to the stilbene family. RSV has several therapeutic activities such as cardioprotective, anticancer, and antioxidant. Apart from its therapeutic benefits, its pharmacological uses are limited due to low solubility, poor bioavailability, and short biological halflife. A researcher continuously focuses on overcoming the limitations of RSV through nanotechnology platforms to get the optimum health benefits. In this context, nanocarriers are pioneering to overcome these drawbacks. Nanocarriers possess high drug loading capacity, thermal stability, low production cost, longer shelflife, etc. Fortunately, scientists were proficient in delivering resveratrol-based nanocarriers in the present scenario. Nanocarriers can deliver drugs to the target sites without compromising the bioavailability. Thus, this review highlights how the latest nanocarrier systems overcome the shortcomings of RSV, which will be good for improving therapeutic efficacy and bioavailability. Moreover, recent updates on resveratrol-based novel formulations and their clinical trials have been addressed to manage several health-related problems.

    Abstract Cancer is the deadliest and most serious health problem. The mortality rate of cancer patients has increased significantly worldwide in recent years. There are several treatments available, but these treatments have many limitations, such as non-specific targeting, toxicity, bioavailability, solubility and permeability problems, serious side effects, and a higher dose. Many people prefer phytomedicine because it has fewer side effects. However, amygdalin is a naturally occurring phytoconstituent. It has many harmful effects due to the cyanide group present in the chemical structure. Many scientists and researchers have given their thoughts associated with amygdalin and its toxicities. However, there is a need for a more advanced, effective, and newer delivery system for amygdalin to reduce its toxic effect. Nanotechnology has become a more refined and emerging medical approach, offering innovative ways to treat cancer. This review focuses on the use of amygdaline as herbal medicine encapsulating into several nanoparticulate delivery systems such as silver nanoparticles, graphene oxide nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanocomposites, niosomes, and magnetic nanoparticles in the treatment of cancer. In addition, this article provides information on amygdalin structure and physical properties, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and challenges with amygdalin.

    Abstract Colorectal cancers are among the most commonly found cancers over the world. In spite of the recent advancements in diagnosis and prognosis, the management of this metastatic condition remains a challenge. The utility of monoclonal antibodies in the healing of patients with colorectal cancer has opened a new chapter in the quest for newer therapies. The resistance to the standard treatment regimen made it mandatory to search for newer targets. Mutagenic alterations in the gene engaged in cellular differentiation and growth pathway have been the reason for resistance to treatment. The newer therapies target the various proteins and receptors involved in the signal transduction and down streaming pathways leading to cell proliferation. This review presents an insight into the newer targeted therapies for colorectal cancer involving tyrosine kinase blockers, epidermal growth factor receptors, vascular endothelial growth factor, immune checkpoint therapy, and BRAF inhibitors.

    Abstract The world population has suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The disease has become life-threatening in a very short time, harming citizens and the economic systems globally. The novel virus SARS-CoV-2 has been known as the causative agent of COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 is a single-stranded RNA virus having ~30 kb genomic components, which are 70% identical to SARS-CoV. The main process of the pathophysiology of COVID-19 has been associated with the interaction of a novel coronavirus with host cell receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE 2), by fusion. Therapeutic agents having serine protease inhibitors and ACE-2 blockers may be explored for the treatment by inhibiting the viral target such as Mpro, RdRp, PLpro, and helicase. Herbal medicine has a wide array of chemical entities with potential health benefits, including antiviral activity, which may be explored as an alternative treatment for COVID-19. The herbal bioactives like catechins, andrographolide, hesperidin, biorobin, scutellarein, silvestrol, shikonin, tryptanthrin, vitexin quercetin, myricetin, caffeic acid, psoralidin, luteolin, etc. have shown potential inhibitory effect against SARS-CoV-2. Recent research reports indicate that the various plant secondary metabolites have shown potential antiviral activities. The present review article highlights the recent information on the mechanism of actions and applications of herbal medicine in the treatment of COVID-19.

    Abstract Malaria is still a major endemic disease transmitted in humans via Plasmodium-infected mosquitoes. The eradication of malarial parasites and the control measures have been rigorously and extensively deployed by local and international health organizations. Malaria's recurrence is a result of the failure to entirely eradicate it. The drawbacks related to malarial chemotherapy, non-specific targeting, multiple drug resistance, requirement of high doses, intolerable toxicity, indefinable complexity of Plasmodium's life cycle, and advent of drug-resistant strains of P. falciparum are the causes of the ineffective eradication measures. With the emergence of nanotechnology and its application in various industrial domains, the rising interest in the medical field, especially in epidemiology, has skyrocketed. The applications of nanosized carriers have sparked special attention, aiming towards minimizing the overall side effects caused due to drug therapy and avoiding bioavailability. The applications of concepts of nanobiotechnology to both vector control and patient therapy can also be one of the approaches. The current study focuses on the use of hybrid drugs as next-generation antimalarial drugs because they involve fewer drug adverse effects. The paper encompasses the numerous nanosized delivery-based systems that have been found to be effective among higher animal models, especially in treating malarial prophylaxis. This paper delivers a detailed review of diagnostic techniques, various nanotechnology approaches, the application of nanocarriers, and the underlying mechanisms for the management of malaria, thereby providing insights and the direction in which the current trends are imparted from the innovative and technological perspective.

    Abstract Among the primary causes of mortality in today's world is cancer. Many drugs are employed to give lengthy and severe chemotherapy and radiation therapy, like nitrosoureas (Cisplatin, Oxaliplatin), Antimetabolites (5-fluorouracil, Methotrexate), Topoisomerase inhibitors (Etoposide), Mitotic inhibitors (Doxorubicin); such treatment is associated with significant adverse effects. Antitumor antibiotics have side effects similar to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and animals, and additional Se supplementation is required, particularly for individuals deficient in Se. Due to its unique features and high bioactivities, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), which act as a supplement to counter Se deficiency, have recently gained worldwide attention. This study presented a safer and more economical way of preparing stable SeNPs. The researcher has assessed the antiproliferative efficiency of SeNPs-based paclitaxel delivery systems against tumor cells in vitro with relevant mechanistic visualization. SeNPs stabilized by Pluronic F-127 were synthesized and studied. The significant properties and biological activities of PTX-loaded SeNPs on cancer cells from the lungs, breasts, cervical, and colons. In one study, SeNPs were formulated using chitosan (CTS) polymer and then incorporated into CTS/citrate gel, resulting in a SeNPs-loaded chitosan/citrate complex; in another study, CTS was used in the synthesis of SeNPs and then situated into CTS/citrate gel, resulting in Se loaded nanoparticles. These formulations were found to be more successful in cancer treatment.
