MODERN ANALYTICAL TOOLS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS: A REVIEW
Discovery of the drug molecule which has therapeutic values is the backbone of drug development. Pharmaceuticals have an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases in humans and animals. However, gradual change in the process of drug synthesis from drug development to bulk production is a common complication in the drug development process. This change may result in the formation o...

3D PRINTING IN PHARMACEUTICALS A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON A NOVEL EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is an emerging technology that allows the fabrication of tailor-made drugs, devices, and organs that meet an individual patient's requirement. Thus, it has enormous potential to bring about a significant transformation in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector. 3DP involves the production of structures with desired design by deposition of printing material in a l...

ASSESSMENT OF REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY OF CONCOCTION OF ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA IN MALE WISTAR ALBINO RATS
Objective: To assess the reproductive toxicity of concoction of Andrographis paniculata in male Wistar albino rats. Methods: 18 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 3 groups with 6 animals in each group. Group 1 served as control and received distilled water. Group 2 and 3 received 0.5 ml of a concoction of Andrographis paniculata and Nilavembu kudineer (a concoction of 9 herbs) respectively ...

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...

2D QSAR STUDY OF INDOLE DERIVATIVES AS SELECTIVE COX-2 INHIBITORS
The NSAIDs are popular in reducing acute and chronic inflammation as they have no abuse liability. QSAR (Quantitative structure-activity relationship) approach is a very useful and widespread technique for drug design. 2D QSAR models are based on descriptors derived from a two-dimensional graph representation of a molecule. The 2D QSAR study was performed on selected twenty-four compounds from syn...

IN-SILICO TOOLS IN THE PREDICTION OF COUMARIN SCHIFF BASES AS POTENTIALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
In the present study two subclasses of coumarin derivatives were selected 14 coumarin sulphonamides and 14 coumarin schiff bases i.e., totally 28 compounds from our earlier research work. A comparative study for two subclasses of coumarins by using various CADD (online and offline) softwares. Computational calculations and predictions of important molecular properties suggest that among the two su...

EVALUATION OF THE AMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF ALPINIA OFFICINARUM METHANOL EXTRACT IN AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF DEPRESSION
The active ingredient flavonoids especially Flavones, e.g., Quercetin was identified from the methanol extract of Alpinia officinarum. This study evaluates the antidepressant activity of Alpinia officinarum (L.) wild Hance (Zingiberaceae) in Swiss Albino mice models. The antidepressant activity was evaluated by using different animal models viz. tail suspension test, despair swim test, potentiatio...

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF COLON TARGETED MICROSPHERES OF GLIPIZIDE
The objective of the present study was to formulate and evaluate microspheres of Glipizide using guar gum and HPMC K4M as polymers for colon-specific delivery for better treatment of Type 2 diabetes. The glipizide microspheres were prepared by ionotropic gelation method by the use of various cross-linking agents. The microspheres were then studied for physical appearance, particle size, surface mo...
