NANOSUSPENSION: AN ATTEMPT TO ENHANCE BIOAVAILABILITY OF POORLY SOLUBLE DRUGS

Most of the new chemical entities coming out from High-throughput screening in drug discovery process are failing due to their poor solubility in the water. Poorly water-soluble drugs show many problems in formulating them in conventional dosage forms. One of the critical problems associated with poorly soluble drugs is too low bioavailability. The problem is even more complex for drugs belonging ...

PHARMACOLOGICAL SCREENING OF ANTIULCER AGENTS: A REVIEW

Gastric hyperacidity and gastro duodenal ulcer is a very common global problem today. Among various causes of gastric ulceration lesions caused by stress, alcohol consumption, H.pylori infection and use of NSAIDs have been shown to be mediated largely through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially hydroxyl radical (*OH). Hyper secretion of gastric acid is a pathological condit...
