TRANSIENT RECEPTOR POTENTIAL (TRP) CHANNEL: AN EMERGING TARGET FOR PAIN
Pain perception begins with the activation of primary sensory nociceptors. Over the past decade, flourishing research has revealed that members of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channel family are fundamental molecules that detect noxious stimuli and transduce a diverse range of physical and chemical energy into action potentials in somatosensory nociceptors. Here we highlight the role...

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERISATION AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF NOVEL OXADIAZOLE DERIVATIVES
New 5- phenyl- 1, 3, 4- oxadiazole- 2- thiol derivative was synthesized by the ring closure reactions of benzohydrazides with carbon disulphide in presence of ethanolic KOH followed by substitution with secondary amines at 2nd position. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and LC-MASS spectral data. Most of them were tested for their anti-inflammatory and antibacte...

PHARMACOKINETIC STUDIES OF SECNIDAZOLE IN THE PRESENCE OF PIPERINE AND ITS SYNTHETIC DERIVATIVE
Piperine has been widely used as a bioenhancer. Secnidazole is a long-acting 5-nitroimidazole analog. It is used in the treatment of amoebiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis and anaerobic bacterial infection. In this study derivative of piperine was synthesized and studied for its bio enhancing the effect and this effect was compared with the bioenhancing effect of piperine. The pharmacokinetic prof...
