HIGH PERFORMANCE THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF COLCHICINE IN PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS AND BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS
A simple and rapid high performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was developed for the assay of colchicine in bulk drug, pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. The method has a linear range of 4 - 35 μg/ml. The limits of detection and quantification were 1 and 4 μg/ml respectively. The results obtained by the proposed method were compared statistically by means...

SELF RATED SYMPTOM MEASURE OF VARIOUS MENTAL HEALTH DOMAINS OF UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL STUDENTS OF TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL
Introduction: Mental disorders account for nearly 12% of the global burden of disease. They are expected to become the second most important cause of disability in the near future. Medical students remain under great academic pressure to pass internal and external exams which continuously keep them under pressure. It is also very important to know how students feel rather than to treat only those ...

ACU-TENS STIMULATION AT BILATERAL ZUSANLI (ST36) ACUPOINT IN STREPTOZOTOCIN INDUCED DIABETIC RATS
The ancient medicine acupuncture was used to treat the diabetes and its complications. Our study was aimed to find out the hypoglycemic effect of Acu-TENS electrical stimulation at bilateral Zusanli (ST36) acupoint in streptozotocin (45 mg/kg/body weight/IP) induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in male albino wistar rats with the administration of single dose of streptozotocin(45mg/kg/body ...

PERMEATION ENHANCERS COMPATIBLE WITH TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS OVERCOMING THE SKIN BARRIER FUNCTIONS: CURRENT AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) provides a leading edge over injectables and oral routes by increasing patient compliance and avoiding the first-pass metabolism respectively. Transdermal delivery not only provides controlled, constant administration of the drug, but also allows continuous input of drugs with short biological half-lives and eliminates pulsed entry into the systemic circulat...

IDENTIFICATION OF INTER SPECIES GENETIC VARIABILITY BETWEEN TWO MORPHOLOGICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES OF WITHANIA THROUGH PROTEIN AND RAPD MARKERS
The two species of Withania i.e. Withania obtusifolia and Withania somnifera were usually misinterpreted because of their co-existence in mixed populations. The present investigation involves analyzed of interspecific relationship between these two species. A careful morphological, anatomic and phytochemical, identification of the two species has led to the findings that there was a slight variati...

ROLE OF LIQUID MEMBRANE HYPOTHESIS IN THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF ERTAPENEM
The role of liquid membrane hypothesis has been studied in the mechanism of action of Ertapenem. In the present study transport of selected permeants (glucose, p-amino benzoic acid and ions like magnesium, ammonium, phosphate, calcium, sodium, potassium and chloride) through liquid membrane generated by Ertapenem in series with supporting membrane has been studied. The results indicate that the li...

DNA BINDING AND CYTOTOXICITY STUDIES OF TERNARY COPPER(II) COMPLEXES CONTAINING HETEROCYCLIC BASES AND THIOUREA
This article describes the Cu(II) complexes including [Cu(phen)(L-val)TU)] 1 & [Cu(bpy)(L-val)TU)] 2 (phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline; bpy = 2,2’-bipyridyl, L-val = L-valine and TU = Thiourea). The complexes were synthesized by ligand substitution method and characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The intense UV band around 270 nm was due to n-π* transition. The binding behaviors o...

DIURETIC ACTIVITY OF ROOT AND BARK OF ERYTHRINA INDICA LAM.
Purpose: The present study was undertaken to investigate diuretic effect of aqueous and methanol extracts of the dried seeds of erythrina indica in normal rats. Method: Aqueous and methanol extracts of erythrina indica seeds were administered to experimental rats orally at doses of 25 and 30 ml/kg p.o. Furosemide (10 mg/kg) was used as positive control in the study. The diuretic effect of the extr...

IN-VITRO STUDIES ON OIL DEGRADING BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM OIL CONTAMINATED SOIL OF VANIYAMBADI AND AMBUR AREAS OF VELLORE DISTRICT
The oil polluted soil has many hydrocarbons which can be degraded by microbes. These oil degrading microbes were isolated from the oil contaminated soil through plate and dilution technique. The oil contaminated soils were collected from the oil spilled places of Vaniyambadi and Ambur areas of Vellore District, Tamil nadu, India. Through the biochemical tests, the isolated bacterial strains were i...
