Editorial: Navigating the Frontiers in Pharmaceutical Sciences: A Digest of Review and Original Articles

Abstract:

As an editor of this esteemed journal, it is my pleasure to introduce the brilliant research encapsulated in the new issue, featuring a compilation of intriguing review and original articles that cover a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical sciences. The review articles commence with an enlightening piece on the utilization of PLGA, an innovative biodegradable polymer, in drug delivery systems, authored by Sonawane, Pingale, and Amrutkar. They delve into the groundbreaking capabilities of this polymer and how it is revolutionizing the realm of drug delivery. This is followed by Koliyote and Shaji’s fascinating review on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of gold nanoparticles using plant extracts, which highlights the natural, sustainable, and cost-effective approach towards nanotechnology in therapeutics. Govindaswamy, Dhivya, and Sivaprakasam present a timely systematic review on the prevalence and complications of Diabetes Mellitus in India, drawing attention to the need for effective management strategies. This is succeeded by Swain’s comprehensive exploration of the antidiabetic properties of natural products from Cyperus species plants, which suggests promising therapeutic potential. The original articles offer a deeper insight into various dimensions of pharmaceutics, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical chemistry, and pharmacy practice. Notable among these are studies by Sharma and Verma on double-layered transdermal patches of Diclofenac Diethylamine, and Bhambar and Gadakh’s research on the formulation of a sustained release mucoadhesive microcapsule of Baclofen, demonstrating the evolution of drug delivery systems. Kathpalia, Venkatesh, and Sathe introduce a novel topical film-forming clotrimazole emulgel, which could revolutionize topical antifungal treatment.
