Abstract
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disorder that is characterised by chronic inflammation and erythematous scaly patches. It has a significant impact on the patient's quality of life and can cause psychological stress. There are several aspects which cause psoriasis for instance, environmental issues, immune disorders, bacterial infections, and genetic issues. Plentiful therapeutic means or treatments are accessible, but not any of them can completely and effectively cure psoriasis without hindering patient compliance. Hence, it becomes challenging to discover a new drug moiety or any drug delivery method to cure psoriasis. Conventional treatment of psoriasis involves anti-inflammatory agents, immune suppressants, phototherapy, and biologic treatment, those were given in different forms such as topical, oral, or systemic formulations, but these all were unsuccessful to accomplish complete reduction of psoriasis as well as causing adverse side effects. In terms of dose frequency, doses, efficacy, and side effects, nanotechnology-based new formulations are the most promising prospects for addressing the challenges and limits associated with present psoriasis formulations. Hence, our major goal of this review is to present various advanced nanotechnological approaches for effective topical treatment of psoriasis. In short, nano-formulations continue to be formed as very promising modality in the treatment of psoriasis as they suggest improved penetration, targeted delivery, increased safety, and efficacy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most frequent malignancy and most common reasons of impermanence in women. The backbone of therapy for BC is principally chemotherapy, but due to its non-specific nature between normal cells and cancer cells and severe side effects are the main barriers in its therapy. So, there is an intense requirement for the enlargement of more efficacious, more specific and safer anti-BC agents. OBJECTIVE Isatin (IST) is an endogenous molecule which is a principal class of heterocyclic compounds and exhibits a wide range of therapeutic activities which can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of several drug molecules. Many literatures were reported previously on different pharmacological activities of IST derivatives and particularly on anticancer activity but this review mainly focus on anti-BC activities of IST derivatives through MCF-7, MDA MB 231, MDA-MB 435 and MDA-MB 468 cell lines. Here in we mentioned, a total 33 IST derivatives (compound 24- 56) which shown good anti-BC activity. IST derived compounds are also available in market and are used for various cancer types like sunitinib for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and Nintedanib used for the cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis treatment but when evaluated for BC did not get much success. CONCLUSION This review mainly highlights anti-BC activities of various IST analogues using MCF-7, MDA MB 231, MDA-MB 435 and MDA-MB 468 cell lines, display the potent compound of the series and structure-activity relationships of compounds with molecular docking also. So, this study mainly shows the importance of IST as major sources for drug design and development of newer anti-BC drugs.

Abstract
Background:
Isatin (IST) is a crucial pharmacologically active compound, chemically known as indole-
1H-2,3-dione. Development of different IST based analogues acquired significant awareness because of its
pronounced therapeutic importance such as analgesic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antitubercular, antimicrobial,
antifungal, antiviral (effective against SARS coronavirus 3C protease) and many other activities, and represents
an important class of heterocyclic compounds that can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of many useful
drugs.
Objective:
Previously, many articles were reported on IST synthesis and its different pharmacological activities
but herein, we mentioned 59 different synthesis schemes of several IST derivatives/hybrids derived from the substitution
of the nitrogen, aromatic ring, the second and third position of IST along with most potent molecule
among each of synthesized libraries with their structural activity relationship (SAR). Using these standardized
approaches, several biologically important compounds were developed like sunitinib, nintedanib, indirubin, etc
and several studies have been carried out nowadays to develop newer compounds having fewer side effects and
also overcome the problem of resistance.
Conclusion:
This report critically reviews the different strategies for the designs and synthesis of several IST
based compounds having different biological activities with SAR, which can favour further investigation and
modification for the development of new and more potent entities.

Abstract
Metal-ligand coordination involving hydrogen-bond-functionalized ligands was employed rationally to get an easy access to a series of metallogelators derived from 3-pyridyl derivatives of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [e.g., ibuprofen, sulindac, and flurbiprofen designated as 3-pyIBU, 3-pySUL, and 3-pyFLR, respectively] and biogenic metal centers [Zn(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), and Ag(I)]. A total of 13 metallogels (MG1-MG13) were obtained by allowing the ligands and the metal salts to react in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/water at room temperature. A slightly different solvent system (DMSO/water/MeOH) afforded four crystalline coordination complexes of 3-pyIBU, namely, [{Cu(3-pyIBU)4(DMSO)2}(NO3)2] (CC1), [{Ag(3-pyIBU)2}(BF4)] (CC2), [{Ag(3-pyIBU)2}(ClO4)] (CC3), and [{Cu(3-pyIBU)4(CH3OH)2}(OTf)] (CC4), which were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. However, none of these coordination complexes produced metallogels-the results corroborated well with the rationale, based on which the metallogelators were obtained. Two selected metallogels (MG3 and MG9) could be leached out from the corresponding metallogels to the bulk solvent to the extent of 51 and 59%, respectively after 24 h of incubation at 37 °C, indicating their plausible use in topical application. Moreover, one of the selected metallogelators, i.e., MG9, displayed anti-inflammatory response and was able to inhibit the migration of highly aggressive human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231, suggesting its plausible use as anticancer agent.
