FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF ALCOHOL RESISTANT DOSAGE FORMS OF GLIPIZIDE
Oral controlled release pellet formulations of glipizide were prepared using extrusion spheronization technique. Pellets provide specific advantages in controlling the drug release and increasing the absorption of the active ingredient. The major drawback for these systems is dose dumping which is very prominent in presence of alcohol. In the present study, attempt was made to prepare alcohol resi...

ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF Mn2+ IN THE HUMAN EJACULATED SPERMATOZOA UNDER OXIDATIVE STRESS
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation from fertile volunteer donor measured by thiobarbuteric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Spermatozoal suspension was treated or not with nicotine and supplemented or not with Mn2+. The same protocol followed when we used ferrous ascorbate promoter system and calculates the Cmax and kc value of the reaction using Lineweaver-burk double reciprocal plot. For c...

NANOCOCHLEATE: A NOVEL APPROACH FOR DELIVERY OF BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES
Nanocochleate is a novel lipid-based drug delivery system in which the liposomal vesicles are converted into nanocochleate by the addition of Calcium divalent cation. This technology involves encochleation of the drug for overcoming problems such as poor solubility, poor permeability, and poor oral bioavailability. This novel lipid-based formulation approach is applicable for the category of drugs...
