Abstract
Humans and rodents are exposed to many foreign compounds in their diet (e.g., herbal supplements such as St. Johns wart), in their environment (e.g., organ-ochlorine pesticides and polychorinated biphenyls), and as clinically prescribed drugs (e.g., rifampin and phenobarbital). In response to these exposures mammals have evolved mechanisms to induce proteins involved in xenobiotic detoxification. Metabo-lism by Phase I enzymes, particularly the heme containing monooxygenases- cytochromes P450 is frequently the first line of defense against such xenobiotics.

Exploring oxidative stress and the anti-oxidant defense system in chronic diseases: therapeutic strategies and future perspective
Ageing is facilitated by oxidative stress (OS), which happens spontaneously. Several studies have demonstrated that OS over an extended period of time has a role in the emergence of several chronic illnesses. Diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are a few examples of these ailments. An imbalance between the body's antioxidants ...read more
Impact of brain tissue binding and plasma protein binding of drugs in DMPK
The impression of brain tissue binding (BTB) or plasma protein binding (PPB) in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics is critical to understanding the distribution, efficacy, and potential toxicity of drugs that target the central nervous system (CNS). BTB and high PPB influence the distribution of drugs in the body and their ...read more
Metabolism-mediated xenobiotic toxicity
Considering the potent modulation of biotransformation enzyme expression and activities by various therapeutic drugs and environmental chemicals, and the commonly combined exposure of humans to both drugs and the ever increasing environmental pollutants simultaneously, knowledge about the combined toxic effects by modulating biotransformation enzymes, such as P450s, UDP- glucuronosyltransferases, and ...read more
Safety evaluation of vaccine combination
Vaccine combination safety evaluation is a critical field within immunology and public health that focuses on assessing the safety and efficacy of combining different vaccines to maximize protection against various diseases while minimizing potential adverse effects. This process is significant because it ensures that vaccines can be administered together without ...read more
