PATHOGENESIS AND NEURO-PROTECTIVE AGENTS OF STROKE

Stroke remains world’s second leading cause of mortality; and globally most frequent cause of long-lasting disabilities. The ischaemic pathophysiologic cascade leading to neuronal damage consists of peri-infarct depolarization, excitotoxicity, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Despite plethora of experimental evidences and advancement into the development of treatments, clinical tre...

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE AND HYDROXYPROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE AS POTENTIAL ANTIPRECIPITANTS ON SUPERSATURATED DRUG SOLUTIONS AND FORMULATIONS USING WEAKLY ACIDIC DRUG: INDOMETHACIN

Most of the drug discovered in past decade belongs to biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class II. The solubility of these drugs is the limiting factor for oral bioavailability. The drug can be present in solution in a supersaturated state; however, it has a tendency to crystallize out. In this paper, we aim to study the effect of molecular weight of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (PVP K12,...

ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF POLYTHENE BAGS DEGRADING BACTERIA FROM VISAKHAPATNAM DUMPING YARD

Most low density bags are made from polythene, a chemically inert compound consisting of carbon and hydrogen. Burning of this plastic waste and burying of the plastics releases harmful toxic material which is a major pollutant in environment. Degradation of waste plastics through microorganism is the alternative method to deal with such problems. In this present study low density polythene bags de...

HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF ISOFLAVONES AGLYCONE IN INDONESIAN SOYBEAN

Soybean is one of the highest isoflavones source. Isoflavones are one type of phytoestrogen that have a chemical structure similar to estradiol, that’s why it can be used not only to inhibite but also to prevent many symptoms related deficiency of estrogen. However in the small intestine, isoflavones like genistin will be hydrolyzed by β-glucosidase and produce aglycone like genistein, this pro...
