OPTIMIZATION OF EFFECT OF SUPERDISINTEGRANTS AND SUBLIMING AGENT ON ORODISPERSIBLE TABLET OF ONDANSETRON RESINATE
Ondansetron is a serotonin 5HT3 antagonist; anti emetic drug. Bitter taste of the ondansetron is a major problem in ensuring patient compliance. Resinates of ondansetron were prepared with Indion 234 and loading process was optimized. A 3² factorial design was used for formulation development of orodispersible tablet of these taste masked resinates. The amount of subliming agent (camphor) and sup...

EVALUATION OF IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF AQUEOUS AND ETHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF EIGHT DIFFERENT PLANTS MATERIALS
The plants and their materials have been utilized for treatment of various diseases in human and animals which are rich source of antioxidants due to presence of phytonutrients such as vitamins (alpha- tocopherol, Ascorbate, carotenoid) or minerals (zinc, selenium) and flavanoid, polyphenols and flavoproteins which exert their action through scavenging free radicals in vivo system. Hence search ...

NITRIC OXIDE: A NOVEL THERAPEUTIC TARGET
Nitric oxide (NO), the most potent natural vasorelaxant, has close relation to cardiovascular physiology, inspite of its complex chemistry; it is a signal-transducing radical. Aspects of NO biology critical to gastrointestinal health and, consequently, nutritional status are increasingly being recognized. Cross-talk between NO and micronutrients within and outside the gastrointestinal system affec...

ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL EFFECT OF ANTIEPILPETIC DRUGS ON LIPID PROFILE AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AS PREDICTORS OF VASCULAR DISEASE IN EPILEPSY PATIENTS
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder which often requires lifelong treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Prolonged use of AEDs is associated with changes in vascular risk markers. Hence, the study was designed to evaluate the effect of older generation AEDs (carbamazepine and phenytoin) and newer generation AED (levetiracetam) monotherapy on the markers of vascular risk in epilepsy patients. T...

USE OF ATENOLOL AND OLMESARTAN AS AN ADD-ON THERAPY WITH CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS FOR HYPERTENSION
Background: Management of hypertension in hemodialysis patients was never the same in all and tends to involve a various classes of drugs with respect to their disease conditions, response to drug therapy, medication adherence, and many more. Atenolol and Olmesartan can be used as add-on therapy in managing hypertension with calcium channel blockers. Methodology: Blood pressure was monitored using...

CYCLODEXTRIN GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASE PRODUCTION BY ALKALIPHILIC BACILLUS SP. ISOLATED FROM RICE CULTIVATED SOIL AND MEDIA OPTIMIZATION USING TAGUCHI METHOD
A Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) producer was isolated from soil obtained from rice fields using alkaline Horikoshi II medium. The alkaliphile was characterized microscopically, biochemically and confirmed by 16S rRNA analysis as Bacillus oshimensis. CGTase production is dependent on the strain, medium composition and culture conditions; hence media optimization studies were carried out...

EVALUATION OF ANTIDIABETIC ACTIVITY OF PICRORHIZA SCROPHULARIIFLORA PENNELL IN HIGH FAT FED DIET WITH STREPTOZOTOCIN INDUCED TYPE II DIABETIC RATS
High energy-intake is a major factor revolved in type 2 diabetes. The objectives of this study is to set up a suitable animal model, which is similar to the human type 2 diabetes, 6 - 8 weeks old Sprague Dawley rats weighing 220 - 250 gm were consumed high fat diet (HFD) of 20% fat, 46% carbohydrate and 20% protein (w/w). Two weeks later the animals were given with intraperitonial injection of str...

ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF MANIDIPINE AND ITS VOLTAMMETRIC DETERMINATION IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS
The electrochemical behavior of Manidipine is studied by employing cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Polaro graphy (DPP) in universal buffers of PH ranging from 2.0 to 12.0. The kinetic parameters, such as transfer co-efficient, diffusion co-efficient, and heterogeneous forward rate constant values are evaluated by employing these techniques. Differential Pulse Polarography is emp...

LESS TOXIC NANOPARTICLES OF PLATINUM BASED ANTI-CANCER DRUG
Objectives: The objective of this research was dose reduction and toxicity reduction. Dose reduction: various anti-cancer drugs are very costly, and their high dose increases cost. If bioavailability is enhanced, the dose shall be reduced thereby; the cost will also decrease. Dose reduction will also reduce toxicity, and the preparation will become more tolerable. Method: In this study, the nanopa...
