REVISITING THE ROLE OF PHYCOCYANIN IN CURRENT CLINICAL PRACTICE
C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is a biliprotein found in edible blue-green algae. Its anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-oxidant activities has been evidenced by many in vitro and in vivo studies. Anti-inflammatory activity of C-PC demonstrated by free radical scavenging, inhibition of DNA damage, and decreased ROS. Here, the effects of C-PC on cytotoxicity and cell signaling throug...

3D-QSAR AND CONTOUR MAP ANALYSIS OF TARIQUIDAR ANALOGUES AS MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE PROTEIN-1 (MRP1) INHIBITORS
One of the major obstacles to the successful chemotherapy towards several cancers is multidrug resistance of human cancer cells to anti-cancer drugs. An important contributor to multidrug resistance is the human multidrug resistance protein-1 transporter (MRP1), which is an efflux pump of the ABC (ATP binding cassette) superfamily. Thus, highly efficacious, third generation MRP1 inhibitors, like t...

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF UV-VISIBLE SPECTROMETRIC METHOD FOR ESTIMATION OF WATER SOLUBLE VITAMIN RIBOFLAVIN
The present study describes a simple, accurate, precise and cost effective UV-Visible spectrophotometric method for the estimation of Riboflavin raw material. The Riboflavin is water soluble vitamin, so the solvent used throughout the experiment was 0.1N NaOH, the absorption maxima of drug was found at 445 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 5ppm-30ppm. the developed method was successfull...
