Spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to measure and identify chemical compounds through their interaction with electromagnetic radiation. Spectroscopy has become a common method for the characterization and identification of different compounds. As a result, techniques such as UV-Vis, infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS) have become invaluable tools in the elucidation of the structure of chemical compounds, as well as their determination. Use of spectroscopy In the case of Daclatasvir hydrochloride, spectroscopy can be used to directly identify and quantify the compound’s active ingredient. Daclatasvir hydrochloride (DCV-HCl) is an antiviral medication that is used to treat a variety of diseases and infections, such as chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Use of UV visible spectroscopy UV-Vis spectroscopy is the most commonly used technique to detect and identify DCV-HCl, due to its sensitivity and selectivity. UV-Vis spectroscopy i...

Daclatasvir is a revolutionary medicine reaching new heights of success in the treatment of chronic diseases such as the hepatitis C virus (HCV).  It belongs to a new class of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) and inhibits the non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) enzyme, which is responsible for the replication, maturation, and packaging of the HCV’s genome. The introduction of Daclatasvir 60mg tablet has changed the landscape of hepatitis C treatment, providing an effective and efficient form of therapy. Targeting specific genotypes Daclatasvir 60MG tablet has the potential to cure chronic HCV specifically genotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Several clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of the medicine. The results from both randomized and open-label studies were found to be significant, as the sustained virologic response was noted to be over 90%. Furthermore, the side effects observed were primarily limited to mild fatigue or gastroin...

Lung cancer is an unfortunate reality that has been on the rise among all populations regardless of age. Still, in recent years, the data has revealed a startling trend that children are more susceptible to the disease than ever before. While there is still a lot of disagreement as to why this is, it is important to recognize that children are especially vulnerable, and, as a result, specific measures must be taken to protect them from developing such an illness. To better understand the issue, this paper will explore the causes of why children are more prone to lung cancer, the symptoms, and the current preventive measures to protect them from this deadly illness. The reason behind the increase in childhood lung cancer The primary cause of the increase in childhood lung cancer cases has been linked to environmental factors and lifestyle choices. Studies show that exposure to chemicals and other pollutants, secondhand smoke, and other toxic substances can contribute to the development ...

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death all around the world and is especially rampant in India. It is a fear-inducing disease due to its debilitating, terminal consequences. In India, lung cancer has been one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths for a long time. In fact, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has estimated that it accounts for roughly one-sixth of all deaths due to cancer in the country. Prevalence of this widespread disease The exact reason for the high prevalence of the disease in India is not definitively known, but experts have cited factors such as air pollution, the use of tobacco products, and industrial hazardous materials being thrown into the environment as some of the strongest suspects. With air pollution being especially severe in many of the bigger cities, this has also led to an increased risk of lung cancer amongst the Indian population. Furthermore, India is also one of the biggest exporters of tobacco products in the world,...

Alectinib is a novel FDA-approved, targeted therapy used to treat ALK(anaplastic lymphoma kinase)-positive advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. ALK-positive NSCLC is a rare and aggressive form of lung cancer caused by a genetic abnormality in the ALK gene. Alectinib works by specifically targeting the cancer cells with the abnormal ALK gene, potentially providing a more personalized approach to treating NSCLC. Dosage of alectinib administration Alectinib is administered as a once-daily 150mg dose either orally or intravenously. It is combined with other drugs such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other targeted therapies following the progression or recurrence of the disease. Alectinib has displayed superior efficacy in comparison to other existing ALK inhibitors such as crizotinib, with higher response and progression-free survival rates. Side effects due to alectinib A...
