It is rich in essential elements and compounds, including proteins, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making it a valuable nutritional resource. Spirulina platensis, in particular, has been extensively studied for its nutritional richness and antioxidant properties. This article reviews Spirulina's biochemical composition from 2005 to 2023, using data from databases like Medline and PubMed. It focuses on keywords such as spirulina, habitat, species, pharmacological action, toxicities, and medicinal uses. Spirulina stands out for its exceptional protein content, amino acid composition, and unique status as a plant-based source of vitamin B12 and essential fatty acids. It also contains a comprehensive micronutrient profile, including easily absorbable minerals like iron, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Spirulina has various health benefits, including anti-diabetic, cardio-protective, hepatoprotective, anti-viral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities. The research on spirulina highlights its potential as a valuable dietary supplement with diverse health benefits. Its rich nutritional composition and pharmacological actions make it a promising candidate for managing various ailments and enhancing overall health. Further studies are warranted to explore its full therapeutic potential and mechanisms of action.

The biological activity of comparable substances produced via different pathways is of varying magnitudes. Medicinal chemists use their understanding of multiple synthetic pathways and the various physicochemical properties of such compounds to create a combinatorial library and conduct thorough searches for lead molecules. Due to their vast spectrum of biological actions, heterocyclic compounds play a crucial role in Medicinal chemistry and are extensively researched in the field of drug design and development. Thiophene, a sulfur-containing heterocyclic scaffold, has emerged as a rather well-explored scaffold for the synthesis of a library of molecules with biological functions, including antibacterial, antipsychotic, anticancer, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-arrhythmic, and so on. Depending on the kind and position of substitution, thiophene analogues have been shown to bind to a wide spectrum of cancer-specific protein targets. As a result, thiophene analogues have been found to exert their biological effects by inhibiting various cancer-related signalling pathways. The study of thiophene in Medicinal chemistry resulted in molecules that combine the thiophene moiety with traditional drug components in a single molecule. This review covers the biological and medical activity of compounds containing a thiophene nucleus, as well as information on thiophene behaviour, synthesis, and agents, with a focus on synthetic techniques, biological profiles, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) research.

Thus, it is imperative to diagnose and treat rheumatoid arthritis. Due to rheumatoid arthritis's complexity, early diagnosis is difficult, which makes the treatment difficult. Moreover, anti- rheumatoid arthritis drugs taken on a long-term basis can damage patients' organs as well. Due to this, these anti- rheumatoid arthritis medications may cause severe side effects in extra-articular tissues since they cannot selectively target the affected zone. There has been substantial progress in the discovery of this disease's pathophysiology and treatment strategy over the past few years, as well as in developing effective diagnostic methods, early detection, an...

They are chiefly brought about by synthetic substances and a few medications when taken in exceptionally high portions. Not with standing propels in present day medication, there is no successful medication accessible that animates liver capacity, offer insurance to the liver from harm or help to recover hepatic cells. There is pressing need, consequently, for powerful medications to supplant/supplement those in current use. The plant realm is without a doubt important as a wellspring of new therapeutic operators. The current work comprises an audit of the writing on plant separates and artificially characterized particles of common beginning with hepatoprotective action. The survey shows various plants, their families, topographical dissemination, plant parts used, kind of test and hepatoprotective action such as A. paniculata and some various species etc. It additionally incorporates ...
