RAPID CHROMATOGRAPHIC AND SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF CITALOPRAM IN RELEVANCE TO PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS
This paper describes the study to measure the sensitivity and accuracy of two techniques, chromatography and spectrophotometry for the direct determination of citalopram in pharmaceutical formulations. Chromatography was performed on SE-30 column (1 m × 3 mm i.d) using Nitrogen as a carrier gas (flow rate of 40 ml/min), having retention time of 12.8 min. Calibration curve was found linear in the ...

SYNTHESIS AND IN VITRO ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF SOME PHENYL URENYL CHALCONES
Despite significant progress made in the treatment of infectious diseases, caused by bacteria and fungi, it remains a major worldwide health problem due to rapid development of resistance against the existing antimicrobial drugs. In the present investigation, a novel series of chalcones 2a–2h were synthesized by the clasein-schmidt condensation of various aldehydes with methyl ketone in the pres...

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION FOR PIPERINE AND GALLIC ACID IN ZEAL HERBAL GRANULES BY HPTLC METHODA
A simple HPTLC method has been developed for the estimation of Gallic acid and Piperine in methanolic extract of Zeal herbal granules [ZHG], a Polyherbal formulation. The separation was performed on TLC aluminum plates precoated with silica gel 60 F254, good separation was achieved in the mobile phase of toluene: ethyl acetate: formic acid (11: 15: 1v/v/v) and densitometry determination of Gallic ...

REVERSAL OF ROSIGLITAZONE HEPATOTOXICITY BY SILYMARIN ON RATS
The present study was undertaken to investigate the hepatotoxic potential of rosiglitazone- an oral hypoglycemic thiazolidenedione class of drug. The hepatotoxic potential of rosiglitazone was assessed in-vitro on isolated rat hepatocytes before subjecting to in-vivo studies. The in-vitro activity was measured by trypan blue exclusion assay and determination of liver marker enzymes. The hepatotoxi...
