DISINTEGRANT EFFECT OF FINGER MILLET (ELEUSINE COROCANA) STARCH ON DISSOLUTION PROFILE AND DISINTEGRATION TIME IN HIGH DOSE TABLETS
Starch was extracted from the grains of finger millet (Eleusine corocana), by steeping in water for 24 hours. The extracted starch was used as a disintegrant, at the concentrations of 2.5-12.5%w/w to compressed paracetamol tablet in comparism with maize starch BP. Results show that, there is no significant difference in the disintegration time or dissolution rate of tablets containing the two star...

INDUCTION OF CALLOGENESIS AND SHOOTING IN ASTERACANTHA LONGIFOLIA(L.) NEES –A MEDICINAL HERB
This study is concerned to develop a rapid system for regenerating shoots and callus from mature shoot tip explants of Asteracantha longifolia (L.) Nees, a medicinally important annual herb (family acanthaceae). Effective shoot and callus regeneration was observed by using several concentrations of cytokinins and auxins with MS medium. Shoot tips responded better for callusing almost in all ...

CHRONOTHERAPEUTICS IN DEVELOPMENT OF PULSATILE DELIVERY SYSTEMS
Many therapeutic agents are most effective when made available at constant rates, near the absorption sites or at the correct time of administration. Pulsatile drug delivery system is the most interesting time-specific and site-specific system. This system is designed for chronopharmacotherapy which is based on circadian rhythm. Recently a greater effort has been taken in designing delivery system...
