ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS FROM PATIENTS WITH DENTAL CARIES: EVALUATING THE ANTI-BACTERIAL EFFICACY OF THE AZADIRACHTA INDICA EXTRACTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTITIS
Periodontitis is a common infection occurring among a wide range of population globally. Streptococcus mutans is found to be the predominant pathogen responsible for dental caries. The present study concentrates on isolation and identification of the predominant pathogen from patients suffering from dental caries. The isolates were grown on various selective and differential media. Biochemical tes...

IS EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESSIBILITY A BARRIER IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES? A REVIEW
Significant portion of maternal death in developing countries was attributed to induced abortions secondary to unwanted pregnancies. Using emergency contraception as a backup method can contribute to reduce unwanted pregnancy secondary to method failure, contraception non-use and also rape. The need for emergency contraception is clearly demonstrated by the occurrence of unwanted pregnancy and i...

SELF-EMULSIFYING SYSTEMS: A REVIEW
Effective delivery of drugs can be made through various routes of administration, and the oral route is considered to be the most convenient for the administration of drugs to patients. Poor aqueous solubility was acknowledged as the main reason for the poor oral absorption of chemical entities. Apart from the conventional solubilization approaches like co-solvency, salt formation, solid dispersio...

DOCKING – BASED VIRTUAL SCREENING OF LIPINSKI COMPLIANT 2 -ARYLQUINA-ZOLIN – 4 – ONE DERIVATIVES: A MOMENTUM TO THE DISCOVERY OF NOVEL EGFR INHIBITORS
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is a potential anticancer drug target, is over-expressed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study is an attempt to explore the human EGFR (protein data bank code: 1M17) inhibition potential of Lipinski compliant compounds possessing 2-arylquinazoli-4-one scaffold with chalcone structural motif; by docking analysis, using Auto Dock ...

IN-VITRO ANTIBACTERIAL AND CYTOTOXICITY EVALUATION OF SOME NOVEL TETRAZOLE DERIVATIVES
A series of tetrazol derivatives 1(a-c) and 2(a-c) were synthesized by Mannich base reaction. Synthesized compounds 1(a-c) and 2(a-c) were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectral, and elemental analysis. Synthesized compounds 1(a-c) and 2(a-c) were screened for dental plaque bacteria and cytotoxicity activity. The compound 1b was highly active against Enterococcus feacalis in antibacter...

IN SILICO EPITOPE PREDICTION AND HOMOLOGY MODELING OF ENVELOPE SURFACE GLYCOPROTEIN GP160, PRECURSOR REGION FROM HUMAN IMMUNO DEFICIENCY VIRUS -1
The development of a highly effective AIDS vaccine will depend on the success of designing immunogens that will elicit immune response against broadly neutralizing antibodies to naturally circulating strains of HIV- can be done by reverse vaccinology. Reverse vaccinology is a good approach for provoking the broadly neutralizing antibody response by identifying the specific epitopes i.e. surface pr...

MODELING ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF 4-THIOZOLIDONE DERIVATIVES
In the present work, efforts have been made to model the antibacterial activity of 4-thiazolidone derivatives against pathogenic bacteria P. aeruginosa by using QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) methodology. Multivariate analysis gave excellent model which was tested using cross validation using leave one out method. The cross- validation method was applied to the data set in ord...

INFLUENCE OF RIPENING ON ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF CELL WALL POLYSACCHARIDES IN PRUNUS ARMANIACA LINN.
Cell wall polysaccharides have been of great importance to society and mankind over the years. In the present study Cell wall polysaccharides were extracted from different stages viz- Immature green, mature green and ripe stages of Prunus armaniaca Linn. A decrease in the yield of pectin was observed during ripening.The pectin Extracted from various stages of fruit ripening was further analysed fo...
