EFFECT OF MORCHELLA CONICA AND FOMES FOMENTARIUS EXTRACTS AGAINST THE HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS IN-VITRO
Antiviral properties of methanol and aqueous extracts from Morchella conica and Fomes fomentarius were assessed by colorimetric XTT test against human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV). HEp-2 cell line was used for the cytotoxic and antiviral effects of the extracts. Non-cytotoxic concentrations of methanol and aqueous extracts of M. conica were tested in 50000 to 195 µg/mL. In contrast, the cyt...

FORMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF CHLORTHALIDONE LOADED NANO-PARTICLES BY ANTISOLVENT PRECIPITATION USING BOX-BEHNKEN DESIGN
Chlorthalidone is a long-acting diuretic recommended for treatment of oedema associated with congestive heart failure. It is oral active diuretic mainly acting on distal convoluted tubule of nephron. Chlorthalidone is poorly soluble in water at room temperature. Nanoparticles have great potential as a carrier and can improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs like chlorthalidone. The aim...

STABILITY INDICATING UHPLC METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF SOFOSBUVIR AND LEDIPASVIR IN TABLET DOSAGE FORM
A stability-indicating UHPLC method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of Sofosbuvir (SOF) and Ledipasvir (LPS) in bulk and tablet dosage form. The study was performed using C18 BEH column (210 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 µm), with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (55% v/v) and phosphate buffer of pH 3 (45% v/v) at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. The detection was carried at 247 nm using PDA ...
