Article Abstract

This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted landscape of preclinical drug development, encompassing crucial stages, regulatory intricacies, Investigational New Drug (IND) submissions, and innovative formulation strategies. Delving into preclinical studies, the review underscores the importance of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety assessments in animal models. Regulatory requirements governing preclinical studies are dissected, emphasizing compliance with global health authorities. The article provides a detailed examination of the IND submission process, elucidating essential components and documentation required for regulatory approval that are pivotal for advancing to clinical trials. Additionally, the evolving realm of Preformulation strategies is scrutinized, highlighting new methods like nanotechnology, solid dispersions, and formulas based on cyclodextrin to enhance drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability. This comprehensive overview aims to guide researchers, pharmaceutical professionals, and regulatory specialists through the complexities of preclinical development, offering insights into the latest formulation advancements from a legal point of view, making it be easy for potential drugs to go from lab to patient's bedside.

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), condensed tannins found plentiful in grape seeds and berries, have higher bioavailability and therapeutic benefits due to their low degree of polymerization. Recent evidence places OPCs as effective modulators of cancer stem cell (CSC) plasticity and tumor growth. Mechanistically, OPCs orchestrate multi-pathway inhibition by destabilizing Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, JAK/STAT3, and Hedgehog pathways, triggering β-catenin degradation, silencing stemness regulators (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2), and stimulating tumor-suppressive microRNAs (miR-200, miR-34a).

Antibacterial and antiviral properties of punicalagin (Review).

Med Int (Lond)

August 2025

Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan 450001, P.R. China.

Punicalagin, a polyphenolic compound extracted from pomegranate peel, has received increasing attention in recent years due to its antibacterial and antiviral properties. Punicalagin is capable of inhibiting bacterial growth at sub-inhibitory concentrations by affecting cell membrane formation, disrupting membrane integrity, altering cell permeability, affecting efflux pumps, interfering with quorum sensing and influencing virulence factors. Additionally, punicalagin inhibits viruses by modulating enzyme activity, interacting with viral surface proteins, affecting gene expression, blocking viral attachment, disrupting virus receptor interaction and inhibiting viral replication.
