EFFECT OF EXCIPIENTS ON THE RELEASE OF TRAMADOL HYDROCHLORIDE FROM BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERIC IMPLANTS
Subcutaneous implantation of the drug is known to be the first medical approach aiming to achieve prolonged and continuous administration of drugs. The purpose of the research was to achieve sustained delivery of Tramadol Hydrochloride from biodegradable Gelatin-Sodium Alginate polymeric implant. Implants were prepared by using Gelatin-Sodium Alginate polymer in two ratios 70:30 & 80:20% w/w b...

MICROWAVE ASSISTED SYNTHESIS & QSAR STUDY OF SOME NOVEL PYRAZOLYL THIAZINE DERIVATIVES
This work involves synthesis of pyrazolyl thiazine derivatives from different chalcones [1(a-b)] synthesized from substituted acetophenones and different aromatic aldehydes in basic medium by Claisen-Schmidt reaction. These chalcones [1(a-b)] on condensation with different hydrazides [2(a-b)] and isothiocyanates [3(a-b)] when irradiated with microwaves (20%, 140watts) in scientific microwave o...

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL ANTICANCER MUSCLE PROTEIN FROM EDIBLE MARINE CATFISH TACHYSURUS DUSSUMEIRI
Cancer, the uncontrolled growth of cells, has been estimated as a major cause of death among human population. Although there are many potential drugs, a much effective bioactive drug with less side effects are still in its pioneer stage of research. The aim of the study was to isolate, purify and characterize the anticancer muscle protein from edible marine catfish, Tachysaurus dussumieri, so as ...

ROSMARINIC ACID ENHANCES CISPLATIN CYTOTOXICITY IN HEPG2 CELL LINE AND ATTENUATES ITS NEPHROTOXICITY IN MICE
The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer effect of rosmarinic acid (RA), both alone and in combination with cisplatin (cis). Also, the potential nephroprotective effects of RA against cis-induced nephrotoxicity in mice and the possible mechanisms underlying this protection were explored. Treatment of HepG2 cells with RA produced a significant decline in cellular proliferation. RA indu...
