EVALUATION OF ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF THE METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF AMORPHOPHALLUS PAEONIIFOLIUS TUBER
Methanolic extracts of the tuber of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius were investigated for its antihelmintic activity against Pheretima posthuma and Tubifex tubifex. The extract with the concentrations of 25, 50 and 100 mg/ml were tested in the bioassay, which involved determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms. The extract exhibited significant antihelmintic activity at highest...

ANALYSIS OF FIXED OIL FROM STERCULIA FOETIDA LINN.
Analysis of fatty acid composition in fixed oil extracted from Sterculia foetida Linn. (Sterculiaceae) seed was done with the help of GC-MS. The structural identification was done by preparing FAME of the fixed oil and then subjected to GC-MS wherein Flame Ionization Detector was used. The oil constituted of 7 fatty acids whose carbon chain length, degree and position of unsaturation were determin...

NANOSPONGE LOADED HYDROGEL OF CEPHALEXIN FOR TOPICAL DELIVERY
Cephalexin is a first generation cephalosporin antibiotic which is used for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infection, urinary tract infection and diabetic foot infection. Since cephalexin is not available as topical formulation, cephalexin was formulated into nanosponge loaded hydrogel as it can enhance skin permeation. Nanosponges of cephalexin were prepared using hydroxyl ethyl cellulose ...

NEW APPROACHES OF 4-ARYL-2-HYDRAZINOTHIAZOLE DERIVATIVES SYNTHESIS, MOLECULAR DOCKING, AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS
In the field of the preparation of chemotherapeutic agents with new mechanism distinct from currently approved drugs is important. However, the clinically effective approved small inhibitor molecule is still lacking. Previous reports indicated that 4-aryl-2-hydrazinothiazole derivatives provided a useful start point to develop HAT inhibitors (histone acetyltransferase). Consequently, preparation a...

DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF TOPICAL HYDROGEL FORMULATION OF DICLOFENAC SODIUM FOR IMPROVED THERAPY
Topical gel preparations are intended for skin application or to certain mucosal surfaces for local action or transdermal penetration of medicament or for their emollient or protective action. Topical delivery of drugs can be achieved by incorporating drug into the gel matrix for effective delivery of drugs, thus avoiding first pass metabolism and for increased local action in pain management and ...

A REVIEW: ROLE OF DOXORUBICIN IN TREATMENT OF CANCER
Cancer is a very complex genetic disorder that is mainly caused by carcinogens. Carcinogens can be present in the air, water, food, chemicals, and sunlight that are exposed to the people. In the case of leukemia, the body produces large numbers of abnormal white blood cells. In the study of blood cancer that is leukemia, blood disorders through visual inspection of microscopic images of blood cell...

A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF PLANTS USED AS CONTRACEPTIVES
Evaluation of herbs for anti-fertility effects has been in progress worldwide for several decades to identify effective and safe substances for control of population explosion. This population explosion will have negative impact on our economic policies and would simultaneously misbalance our socio-economic infrastructure. Family planning has been promoted through several methods of contraception,...

STEREOCHEMISTRY AND ITS ROLE IN DRUG DESIGN
When designing small molecules to interact with the targets, one should consider stereo selectivity. As considerations for exploring structure space evolve, chirality is increasingly important. Binding affinity for a chiral drug can differ for diastereomers and between enantiomers. For the virtual screening and computational design stage of drug development, this problem can be compounded by incom...
