PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY ON THE FRUITS OF HUGONIA MYSTAX L. (LINACEAE)
An ethnomedicinal plant, Hugonia mystax L., was examined for preliminary phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of various classes of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenols, saponins, steroids, tannins and terpenoids. Antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanolic and aqueous fruits extracts showed ...

ASSESSMENT OF INJECTION USE PRACTICES AND COMPLETENESS OF PRESCRIPTIONS: THE CASE OF AYDER REFERRAL HOSPITAL, MEKELLE, NORTHERN ETHIOPIA
Back Ground: Overuse of injections is considered as an important indicator of irrational prescribing pattern in a given health care setting owing to the invasive nature of such drug delivery system. Moreover, blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through unsafe injections due to poor injection practices and injection overuse. If the use of injectio...

ANTIHYPERLIPIDEMIC EFFECT OF REOSTO, A HERBOMINERAL FORMULATION IN TRITON INDUCED HYPERLIPIDAEMIC RATS
In the present study, an aqueous extract from a marketed mineralo-herbal preparation Reosto was evaluated for its hypocholesterolaemic and hypertriglyceridemic activities using Triton WR-1339 induced hyper- lipidemic rats as experimental model. Hyperlipidemia was developed by intraperitoneal injection of Triton (200 mg/kg body weight). The animals were divided into control (CG), hyperlipidemic (HG...

PELLETIZATION OF LAMOTRIGINE SOLID DISPERSION FOR IMPROVED SOLUBILIZATION
Poorly solubility in water of many newly developed high-potential drugs is an obstacle in formulation development. The aim of this study was to increase the solubility of Lamotrigine which is a poorly soluble drug and comes under BCS class-II by using solid dispersion technique. Lamotrigine, PEG 4000 and PVPK-30 solid dispersion was prepared by solvent evaporation method and the formulation was ch...

SOLVENT-FREE SOLID SUPPORTED AND PHASE TRANSFERRED CATALYZED SYNTHESIS OF BENZANILINE DERIVATIVES USING MICROWAVE IRRADIATION
In this study, solvent-free and phase transfer catalysis conditions coupled with microwave irradiation and their advantages in synthesis of N-alkylation of primary anilines were reported. In this way two different microwave processing techniques were compared in terms of reaction yields. Consequently, microwave irradiation significantly reduced reaction times compared to traditional heating method...

EFFECT OF VIMLIV ON LIPID PEROXIDES AND ANTIOXIDANTS IN ETHANOL INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY IN ALBINO WISTER RATS
This study was carried out to investigate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties of vimliv in ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The liver toxicity was induced by the administration of ethanol to the animals at dose of 3 g/kg orally for 35 days. During the period of vimliv was co-administered to the rats at doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg for 35 days. The levels of lipidperoxidative product...
