ISOLATION AND STRUCTURAL ELUCIDATION OF DEGRADATION PRODUCTS OF RANOLAZINE
Degradation studies are important to know the potentials degradation products and to develop a stability indicating method. Ranolazine active pharmaceutical ingredients subjected to in detailed forced degradation study using several stressing agents (HCl, NaOH, H2O2). Degradation products of Ranolazine under hydrolytic and oxidative stress conditions were identified, and their stabilities were ass...

SYNTHESIS, EVALUATION AND POLYMORPHISM STUDIES OF NEW BENZIMIDAZOLE DERIVATIVES AS POTENT ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS
Ten, 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives were prepared and assessed against two Gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli). The derivatives were obtained by the condensation of 2-((1H-benzo[d] imidazol-2-yl) thio) acetohydrazide(4) with different substituted aromatic aldehydes and their structur...

A NEW ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVE COMPOUND FROM THE ENDOLICHENIC FUNGUS, PENICILLIUM CITRINUM INHABITING THE LICHEN, PARMOTREMA SP.
Context: Endolichenic fungi are the microorganisms living inside the thalli of the lichen and found to be a new source of bioactive secondary metabolites. This is an underutilized source of bioactive compounds and has not been studied extensively. Genus, Parmotrema is one of the foliose lichens with largely rounded lobes and occurs on rocks of rain forests, sub-montane and montane forests in Sri L...

EFFICACY AND COMPLICATIONS OF PROLONG LINEZOLID THERAPY IN METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) INFECTED SUBCUTANEOUS ABSCESS MODEL IN WISTAR RAT
Linezolid has a better choice for the eradication of both community and hospital acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, but its use is limited because of its complications. The study elucidated the efficacy and complications of prolonged therapy of linezolid in MRSA infected rats. The rats were rendered neutropenic by an intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamid...

ANALYTICAL METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF CLASS-2 RESIDUAL SOLVENTS IN LULICONAZOLE BY HS-GC
A simple headspace gas chromatographic (HS-GC) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of residual solvents like methanol, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexane and toluene in luliconazole by Flame ionization detector (FID). The separation was achieved on 30 m long DB-624 column, 0.53 mm in inner diameter, and 3.0 µm in film thickness. The headspace and chromatogr...

EVALUATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTHELMINTIC AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF HOPEA PONGA (DENNST.) BARK
The present work involves the extraction of phytochemicals from the bark of the medicinal plant Hopea ponga, with various solvents and evaluation of their antimicrobial, anthelmintic and antioxidant activities by following standard methods. The antioxidant capacity of the plant extracts was measured by their ability to scavenge free radicals such as (a) DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), (b) AB...

SURFACE MODIFICATION AND NON-COVALENT FUNCTIONALIZATION OF SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES AND THEIR CHARACTERIZATION
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) though emerged as a promising material for delivery of biomolecules into various cells, due to their high cytotoxicity, they are limited in use in many biological systems and also in humans. The present research explores the preparation of functionalized SWNTs of low cytotoxicity and biocompatibility by altering the size and surface functionalization. Noncova...

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AND THE TOXICOLOGY OF CANNABIS SATIVA
Many young men, women, and even the elderly are addicted to Cannabis intake abuse despite its predictable toxicological consequences. In this paper, we studied the toxic effects of oral administration of methanol extract of Cannabis sativa seeds using a total of forty male Wistar Rats. Animals were randomized into five groups (n = 8 rats) of approximately equal weight. Group 1 received 100 mg/kg o...
