Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

1. Active Constituent of Crude Drugs used in Indigenous System
Diabetic therapy
Gymnema sylvestre
BOTANICAL NAME: Gymnema sylvestre, FAMILY: Asclepiadaceae (milk weed).
COMMON NAME Sanskrit: Meshashringi, madhunashini, Hindi: Gur-mar booti, merasingi,
ENGLISH NAME: Sugar destroyer and periploca of wood
PART USED: Leaves, root and stem FLOWER (Pale yellow and bell shaped) LEAVES (Narrow
tipped elliptic smooth green leaves)
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS: Contain Triterpene saponins belonging to oleanane and
dammaene classes.
Oleanane saponins are: 1.Gymnemic acid 2.Gymnemagasaponin
Dammarene saponins are: 1. Gymnestogenin 2. Gurmarine 3. Gymnemasies
Besides this, other plant constituents are 1. Flavone 2. Trimethylamine 3.Hentriacontane 4.
Pentatriacontane 5. Phytin 6. Tartaric acid 7. Formic acid 8. Anthraquinone derivatives 9. d-
quercitol 10. Beta-chlorophylls.

In snake bite.
As anti-inflammatory.
Anti-hypercholesterolemic.
In constipation.
In arthritis.
In cardiopathy.
In microbial infection.
In some respiratory problems like cough.
In cancer treatment.
MOA:
1. Gymnemic acid destroys the ability to discriminate sweet taste. The atomic arrangement
of gymnemic acid is similar with glucose molecule. So they fill the receptor location on the
taste buds thereby preventing its activation by sugar molecule. Similarly gymnemic acid fill
the receptor location in the absorbtive external layer of the intestine, thereby preventing
the sugar molecule absorbtion by the intestine. In the result of this low blood sugar level
occur.
2. There are some possible mechanisms by which the gymnemic acid exerts its hypoglycemic
activity are:
It increases the secretion of insulin.
It promotes regeneration of islet cells of pancreas.
It increases utilization of glucose.
It causes inhibition of glucose absorption from intestine.
Salacia reticulate
It is native to India and Sri Lanka It contain root,leaves and stem of an herb Salacia
reticulata Belong to Family- Celastraceae Subfamily:- Hippocrateaceae Also known as
Kothala-himbutu
Synonyms:- Svarna mula- The bark of the root is golden colored Saptachakra- When
the root is cut it shows 7 wheel like structures.

triterpenoids lambertic acid, kotalgenin 16-acetatemeryterfonic acid.
Use: Diabetes Treatments, Diabetic neuropathy Treatments, Diabetic foot ulcers
Treatments, Diabetic microangiopathy Treatments, Diabetic nephropathy
Treatments, Gonorrhea, and Joint pain. Asthma, Menstrual problems.
3. Moa: Salacia Reticulata is a medicinal herb from Ayurveda which appears to have anti-
diabetic activities, namely by inhibiting carbohydrate uptake from the intestines by
inhibiting a-glucosidases, amylase enzyme which involves in the conversion of
carbohydrates to sugar it appears quite effective at this, similar to Acarbose in potency.
Pterocarpus marsupiam
Parts of the Indian kino (heartwood, leaves, flowers) biological name Pterocarpus
marsupium, Family: Leguminosae. Common Name: Malabar kino, Indian kino tree or
vijayasar
Chemical constituents: Genus Pterocarpus contains rich sources of polyphenolic
compounds. The plant contains pterostilbene 45%, alkaloids 0.4%, tannins 5%,
protein.
Non-glucosidal tannins: Kinotannic acid, Kinonin (C28H24012), Kinored
(C28H22011), Pyrocatechin, Pyrocatechin acid & small quantities of resin, pectin and
gallic acid.
Flavonol glycoside: 6 hydroxy3.5.7.4tetramethoxyflavone, 6-0 rhamnopyranoside, 8-
hydroxy 4'-methoxy isoflavone 7-Oglucopyranoside.
Marsupin and Pterostilbene significantly lower the blood glucose levels useful in
NIDDM.
4. Root contains benzofuranone, marsupin, dihydro chalcone, pterosupin. stilbene.
pterostilbene. homoisoflavonepteromarsupone, isoliquiritigenin. transstilbene,
liquiritigenin.
Mechanism:
Postprandial hyperglycemia is the earliest metabolic abnormality to occur in type 2
diabetes. This state initiates the development of microvascular and macrovascular
complications. Most of the currently available anti-diabetic therapies reduce fasting
blood glucose but have little impact on postprandial hyperglycemia. In this view, P.
marsupium at a dose of 200 mg/kg could be a better drug in the treatment of type 2
diabetes. Reduction in blood glucose may be mediated through enhanced insulin
secretion by regeneration of B-cells of islets of Langerhans.
It also reduces the elevated levels of the cytokine TNF-alpha because TNF-α
mediates insulin resistance also through indirect effects including increasing free
fatty acids in circulation, stimulation of insulin counter-regulatory hormones,
impairment of endothelial function, or inhibiting the glucose-stimulated insulin
release by pancreatic B-cells.
Weight loss in diabetes is also generally due to continuous excretion of glucose from
the body. Long-term presence of TNF-a has an appetite suppressing effect. Improved
body weight occurs after drug treatment due to TNF-a modulation.
Other Uses: Used in diarrhoea. Bleeding and gout problems. Skin problems.
Intestinal parasites. Dental problems. Anti microbial properties. Hyperlipidemia.
Arthritis
Swertia chirata
Parts used: Whole plant, Swertia chirata Family: Gentianaceae, Common Names:
Indian gentian, Bhunimba
Chemical Constituents: Bioactive compounds belonging to different classes such as:
1. xanthones and their derivatives, lignans, alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids.
Chiratin was the first isolated from xanthone.
2. The pharmacological efficacy of S. chirayita has been partly attributed to the
biological activity of major phytoconstituents including amarogentin, swertiamarin,
mangiferin, swerchirin, sweroside, amaroswerin, and gentiopicrin. Amarogentin is
reported to be antidiabetic.
5. v) Increases peripheral utilisation of glucose.
vi) Increases hepatic and muscle glycogen content. Promotes beta cell repair and
regeneration.
vii) Exerts insulin like action by reducing the glycated haemoglobin levels.
viii) Inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase VI mediates glucagon.

2. 4-hydroxy isoleucine (unusual amino acid), 3. Diosgenin & Yamogenin (saponin), 4.
Trigonelline (alkaloid) and, 5. Galactomannan (Soluble fiber).
6. 3. Galactomannan: Also exert hypoglycemic effect by increasing production of GLP-1
stimulates insulin release, glucagon production and delay the gastric emptying a- Amylase
and Sucrase activity.
Liver dysfunction- Phyllanthus niruri
Biological source: It consists of all aerial parts of the plant Phyllanthus niruri belonging to
the family Euphorbiaceae. It contains not less than 0.25% of total phyllanthin and
hypophyllanthin on dried basis.
MOA:
1. Inhibits viral DNA polymerase of Hepatitis-B virus:- DNA polymerase is one of the
enzymes which are responsible for the synthesis of DNA molecules and after the inhibition
of these enzymes there is no formation of the DNA molecule of the virus. So the net result is
a multiplication of these viruses totally affected.
2. Phyllanthin binds to hepatitis B surface antigen:- when the phyllanthin binds on the
hepatitis B surface antigen damage, of cell wall of the virus is prominently occur by this
mechanism phyllanthin act as anti- Hepatitis agent.
Uses: It has antioxidant properties. It has antimicrobial properties. It has anti- inflammatory
properties. It may help lower blood sugar. It may help prevent kidney stones.
