Pharmaceutical Applications of Inclusion Compounds. II

Electrochemistry of Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes of Pharmaceutical Compounds

Electrochemistry of cyclodextrins (CDs) and cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with different pharmaceutical compounds is reviewed. The article highlights some electrochemical investigations of the CD-drugs interactions in solution. Cyclodextrin modified electrodes and their applications as electrochemical sensors in pharmaceutical analysis based on the self-assembly of CD derivatives on metal el...

Molecular modeling of β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with pharmaceutical compounds

Ten molecularly diverse compounds, selected on the basis of the standard free energy of complexation with β-cyclodextrin, have been used as training set of molecular docking experiments. After the conformational search of each compound the Molecular Interaction Evaluation (MOLINE) program has been adopted to generate the inclusion geometries. The recognition process has been thermodynamically e...

Persian Gulf Bivalves: Bioactive Pharmaceutical Compounds and Biomedical Applications

Bivalves are a class of marine mollusks with high nutritional value in addition to various medicinal products. The Persian Gulf is home to 224 species from 29 families of bivalves identified so far. Based on research conducted in the Persian Gulf or other parts of the world, bioactive compounds exist in their shell and soft tissue. In this review article, we reviewed biomedical research related...

A Review on Isolation and Identification of Endophytic Actinobacteria, Their Chemical Structure, Bioactive Compounds, and Potential Medical-Pharmaceutical Applications

 Over recent years, nosocomial infections, and the morbidity and mortality associated with pathogenic bacteria have dramatically increased due to antibiotic resistance and imposed significant burdens on the global health system. Critical shortage of effective therapeutics against multidrug-resistant bacteria highlights the need for development of novel antibiotics. Actinobacteria are well-known...
