ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND QUANTIFICATION OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS FROM AMARANTHUS HYPOCHONDRIACUS LEAF EXTRACT: A VITAL SOURCE OF POTENT NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS
In this study we aimed at isolation, identification, and quantification of two phenolic compounds reported for the first time in leaves of Amaranthus hypochondriacus. A non targeted GC-MS metabolite profiling of hexane extracts of amaranth leaves was done which indicated the presence of major phenolic compounds. Two alkylated phenols namely 2,4-di-tert-butyl phenol (A) and 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-h...

MODULATORY ROLE OF WITHENIA SOMNIFERA ROOT EXTRACT MIXED PELLETED FEED ON PESTICIDE INDUCED HEPATIC ANOMALIES’ IN FRESH WATER CATFISH CLARIAS BATRACHUS (LINN.)
The pharmacological activity of Withenia somnifera commonly called Ashwagandha, a herb having multi-medicinal properties, was investigated against carbofuran exposed hepatic anomalies in the air breathing fish Clarias batrachus. Fishes were exposed to 1 mg/L carbofuran for three weeks to induce the toxic effects. These fishes were then fed with Withenia somnifera root extract mixed pelleted fe...

ACCURACY OF STANDARDS IN CHOLESTROL DIAGNOSTIC KITS
The percentage error observed in the claimed standard concentration of cholesterol 200 mg/dl for kits A to D is found to be 0.6, 12.3, 8.96 and 3.76 respectively. As per the guidelines of CLIA 8 allowable error is +10% for cholesterol estimation. Similarly as per the NCEP 9 guidelines + 9 % error is allowable. Therefore, it is noted that kit A is the best kit with an error of just 0.6% followed by...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DOT AND SAT IN RURAL TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL: A TWO YEARS RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Directly observed therapy (DOT) of tuberculosis patients talking their drugs is supposed to improve treatment completion and outcome .we compared DOT and Self Administered therapy (SAT), in which patients on the same drug regimen are not, observed taking their pills, to assess the effect of each on the success of tuberculosis treatment. This was the two year (2010 and 2011) retrospective study of ...

STORAGE OF WORKING STANDARDS IN POLYPROPYLENE CONTAINERS, ITS EFFECT, CONTAMINANTS AND IMPACT ON ANALYSIS ON LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY TANDEM MASS SPECTROSCOPY
Authorspropose a method to determine the contamination caused during the storage of colchicine stock solution, which will be helpful for the bioanalytical scientists. The process of identification of impurities, exceptionally in this case, started from the point of optimization of the compound, where in the parent ion was not detected and instead an unknown mass is being interpreted by the detecto...

ANTICOCCIDIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF GASTRO’IMMUNE -POLYHERBAL FORMULATION ON COCCI OOCYSTS INFECTED MICE JEJUNUM
Herbal drugs are prescribed widely as an anti-coccidial agent even when their biologically active compounds are unknown, because of their effectiveness, lesser side effects, and relatively low cost. So, in the current study, a poly-herbal formulation was used to find out its effect as an anti-coccidial effect. In the present study, the parameters evaluated were the WBC count, Glutathione levels, m...

POLY (LACTIC-CO-GLYCOLIC ACID) BASED DOUBLE EMULSION NANOPARTICLE AS ACARRIER SYSTEM TO DELIVER GLUTATHIONE SUBLINGUALLY
The sublingual delivery of drugs represents a continuing challenge, as well as an opportunity. In this study, a poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) based Water-in-Oil-in-Water (w/o/w) double emulsion of nanoparticles was developed as potential platform technology, to generate sustained drug release profile and maximize the bioavailability of the glutathione (GSH). Two-level full factorial design...
