DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROPARTICLES OF SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE CARRIER SYSTEM VIA NASAL ROUTE
Sumatriptan succinate is the 5H1 receptor agonist and used in the treatment of migraine, cluster headache. The main objective is to develop ideal anti-migraine nasal mucoadhesive microparticles as local and systemic drug delivery system. An attempt was made to formulate the nasal mucoadhesive microparticle of Sumatriptan succinate with excipients like mucoadhesive polymers i.e., HPMC, ethyl cellul...

ATTENUATION OF QUORUM SENSING ASSOCIATED VIRULENCE FACTORS AND BIOFILM FORMATION IN PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA PAO1 BY PHOMA MULTI-ROSTRATA PUTY3, A SAPROPHYTIC FUNGUS, ISOLATED FROM CARICA PAPAYA
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most emerging multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogens, which poses a threat to immunocompromised patients. Treatment of P. aeruginosa in the affected patients has become difficult because of its ability to develop resistant strains against most of the conventional therapeutic antibiotics. Quorum sensing plays a crucial role in the virulence nature of P. aer...

ANTI-DIABETIC ACTIVITY OF HYDROALCOHOLIC EXTRACTS OF ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTALE, AEGLE MARMELOS AND ACHYRANTHES ASPERA IN ALLOXAN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATS
Diabetes mellitus is a major endocrine metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by chronic hyperglycemia; with disturbances of carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. It is caused by the deficiency or ineffective production of insulin by pancreas, which results in increase or decrease in concentrations of glucose in the blood. There is number of chemical agents available to contr...

FORMULATION AND IN-VITRO CHARACTERIZATION OF 5-FLUOROURACIL AND FLAVONOID DUAL LIPID DRUG CONJUGATES LOADED SELF NANOMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR CANCER TARGETING
Objective: The Failure in chemotherapy is mainly because of the resistance of the chemotherapeutic drugs towards the neoplastic cells. The main reason behind this study was to develop a novel combination of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) lipid curcumin conjugates for the treatment of cancer. Methods: In this study, the lipid group stearic acid and oleic acid was conjugated with the parent drug moiety 5-Flu...

SOLID DISPERSIONS OF FENOFIBRATE BY DROPPING METHOD
The main objective of the study was to enhance the dissolution of fenofibrate (BCS class II), poorly soluble drug. To improve the solubility of the drug, solid dispersions were prepared by dropping method with PEG 4000 and PEG 6000 in the ratios of 1:1 and 1:2. The formulations were filled into capsules and evaluated for solubility, assay, FTIR, X-ray diffractions, DSC, and in-vitro dissolution. T...

HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE (HCQ) AS AN EMERGING AND PROMISING DRUG CANDIDATE IN COVID-19 PANDEMIC – A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) belongs to the class of 4-aminoquinolines. It is a hydroxylated version of chloroquine with a similar mechanism of action but rather a safe profile. It is primarily an antimalarial drug but has been extensively used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, porphyria, discoid and systemic lupus erythematosus as well. Most recently, this drug has found a place in the treatment of...
