REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES (ROS) ARE BOON OR BANE

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are inevitable by-products of cellular respiration. These are highly reactive chemical species derived from molecular oxygen (O2). These include the superoxide (O2−) and hydroxyl (HO−) free radicals as well as non-radical molecules such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). These act as both toxic and beneficial compounds, since they can be either harmful or helpful to the...

IN-SITU BUFFERED FORMULATION: AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH FOR ACID LABILE DRUG

“Acid labile drug” means a drug that is easily destroyed in acidic environment, Stomach is the main site for drug absorption mainly by oral rout. The pH of the stomach is acidic so the absorption of acid labile drugs through stomach is difficult. For this resign the drugs should be formulated as enteric coated or may be administered through parenteral rout. These approaches are effective but t...
