VIRTUAL SCREENING OF SAPONIN DERIVATIVES TARGETING ENZYMES ENDOTHELIAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE AND CYTOCHROME P450 2E1
Saponin derivatives from Vietnamese ginseng are proven for their efficacies in modulating oxidative stress, but there had been no reports about the interaction between them and two enzymes, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). eNOS and CYP2E1 are proposed to be attractive targets for the development of inhibitors against oxidative stress, a contributing factor...

A COMPERATIVE STUDY OF VANADIUM PENTOXIDE AND CHROMIUM OXIDE IN STREPTOZOTOCIN INDUCED DIABETES IN ALBINO RATS
Objectives: The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effect of vanadium pentoxide and chromium oxide in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic albino rats. Methods: Diabetes was experimentally induced by injecting intraperitoneally with a single dose of 60mg/kg. The animals were considered as diabetic, if their blood glucose values were above 300 mg/dl on the 10th day afte...

EVALUATING ADJUNCTIVE ROLE OF PPI AS ANTI INFLAMMATORY AGENT IN KNEE OSTEOARTHARITIS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY IN TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the main causes of disability worldwide. Patients are mostly treated with NSAIDS with PPI and H2 blockers, analgesics, opoids etc in everyday practice. In addition to anti-secretory effects, PPIs have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory actions in vitro. But the role of PPIs as anti-inflammatory agents remains to be explored. Aim: Present study was aimed to compare eff...

BIOSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GOLD NANOPARTICLE FROM COCCINIA GRANDIS AND ITS CATALYTIC ACTIVITY
The fabrication of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the reducing agent and stabilizing agent Coccinia grandis is reported here. Irradiation of the reaction mixture under a domestic microwave oven enabled the formation of gold nanoparticles. The successful formations of AuNPs were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray pow...

DEVELOPMENT AND IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF SUSTAINED RELEASE MATRIX TABLETS OF SALBUTAMOL SULPHATE USING METHOCEL K100M CR POLYMER
In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of hydrophilic polymers on the release profile of drug from matrix system. Salbutamol sulphate, an anti-asthmatic agent, was used as a model drug to evaluate its release characteristics from different matrices. Matrix tablets of salbutamol sulphate were prepared by direct compression process using methocel K100M CR polymer. Rele...
