PEGINESATIDE- A NOVEL ERYTHROPOIETIN MIMETIC AGENT FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANAEMIA IN CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE PATIENTS
Anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects the overall health of the patients leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs) have been the standard of care for the treatment of such patients since last 20 years. These agents have the potential to increase mean haemoglobin levels in both pre dialysis and dialysis maintenance phases hence low...

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A STABILITY INDICATING ASSAY METHOD OF PYRIMETHAINE BY USING DIFFERENT STRESS DEGRADATION CONDITIONS
The aim of the present work is to develop simple accurate, precise and cost effective UV-Vis spectrophotometric method for the estimation of pyrimethamine in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form and determination of percent degradation by using different stress condition. The solvent used was methanol and distilled water (40:60) and λmax of the drug was found to be 272.5nm. A linear response was o...

PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF APIGENIN ON 7, 12- DIMETHYLBENZ (A) ANTHRACENE INDUCED GLYCOCONJUGATES IN THE PLASMA AND BUCCAL MUCOSA OF GOLDEN SYRIAN HAMSTERS
Present study investigated the protective effect of apigenin on cell surface glycoconjugates abnormalities in 7, 12-dimethyldenz(a)anthracene(DMBA) induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis. DMBA painting in the hamster buccal pouch three times per week for 14 weeks developed oral squamous cell carcinoma. The levels of glycoconjugates (Protein bound hexose, Hexosamine, Lipid bound sialic acid, T...

STUDYING THE EFFECT OF DISPERSED DRUG CRYSTAL IN THE ORGANIC PHASE ON THE ENCAPSULATION BY SOLVENT EVAPORATION TECHNIQUE; (2) X-RAY DIFFRACTION AND DSC AS TOOLS TO STUDY THE MICROCAPSULE STRUCTURE IN RELATION TO THE SUGGESTED DIVISION MECHANISM
The method of entrapment of the drug in the microcapsules structure prepared with different theoretical drug content (TDC) and having different particle size ranges were studied using x-ray diffraction and DSC analysis methods. Also, in the light of the analysis methods, a trial to correlate the actual microcapsule structure with the actual drug content (ADC) and the division mechanism suggested b...

DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT: A BASIC APPROACH TO IMPROVE THE SUCCESS OF DRUG DISCOVERY
Drug discovery is a process that aims at identifying a compound therapeutically useful in curing and treating disease. This process involves the identification of candidates, synthesis, characterization, validation, optimization, screening, and assays for therapeutic efficacy. Once a compound has shown its significance in these investigations, it will initiate the drug development process earlier ...
