IMPACT OF HYDROTHERMAL ISOLATION METHOD ON THE RECOVERY OF FENUGREEK SEED HEMI-CELLULOSE ANALYZED THROUGH FTIR-DSC-SEM INTERPRETATIONS
Natural Herbal components like seeds mucilages, exudates, gums, polysaccharides, celluloses, hemicelluloses, starch, etc. are now a day’s exploited as excipients. Literature reveals medicinal, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical uses of fenugreek seed hemicelluloses in dosage form design. Hemicelluloses like galactomannans are water-soluble polysaccharides highly susceptible to hydrolysis either by...

ENHANCEMENT OF SOLUBILITY AND DISSOLUTION PROFILE OF EPLERENONE BY LIQUISOLID COMPACTS USING NOVEL EXCIPIENTS
Eplerenone is a poorly soluble drug that belongs to class II biopharmaceutical classification system. It is a selective aldosterone receptor antagonist, which binds to the mineralocorticoid receptor and blocks the binding of aldosterone, thereby decreases the sodium resorption and subsequently increasing water outflow. This leads to a decrease in blood pressure and used in congestive heart failure...

PARENTERAL ADMINISTERED SUSTAINED RELEASE PIPERINE MICROPARTICLES INTENDED FOR TREATMENT OF LIVER FIBROSIS
The objective of this work was to formulate and characterize microparticles containing piperine, and evaluate their activity against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver toxicity. Piperine microparticles were formulated by o/w emulsion solvent evaporation technique using poly-ε-caprolactone as a polymer. Four different microparticle formulations (PM1, PM2, PM3, and PM4) were prepared by vary...

SELECTIVE ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOCARDIOPSIS FLAVESCENS VJMS-18 FROM COASTAL REGIONS OF ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA
Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial potential of Nocardiopsis flavescens isolated from the marine environment. Methods: Attempts were made to isolate actinomycete strains from marine coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh, India. The soil samples collected were pre-treated with calcium carbonate, diluted and plated on three different media to isolate actinomycetes. All the isolates were screened f...

IN-VIVO STUDIES OF OPTIMIZED L-GLUTAMINE HYDROGEL FOR ORAL MUCOSITIS
Mucositis is a foremost acute complication in the clinical setting, occurring in a large percentage of patients undergoing cytotoxic therapy. One of the major problems with mucositis is that the underlying mechanisms behind its development are not wholly understood, which makes it extremely difficult to develop effective interventions. Animal models provide a critical source of knowledge when samp...

IMPORTANCE OF DRUG EXCIPIENT COMPATIBILITY STUDIES BY USING OR UTILIZING OR EMPLOYING VARIOUS ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES – AN OVERVIEW
The interaction/incompatibility of drug excipients is a major concern in formulation generation. Compatibility tests for drug excipients constitute an important step of the production of all dosage forms in the preparation stage. The possible physical and chemical interactions of drugs and excipients can influence chemical, physical, therapeutic properties and the dosage form's stability. The curr...

THE ROLE OF ANTIOXIDANTS AND THEIR RELATED ENZYME IN PROTECTIVE RESPONSE TO CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA REPERFUSION INJURY
In aerobic organisms, oxygen is essential for sufficient energy production but self-contradictory, produces chronic toxic stress in cells. So, protective techniques must exist for removal of toxic free radicals which are byproducts of oxygen. Diverse protective systems have evolved to enable adaptation of antioxidant activity. Tissues and organs have different rates of metabolic activity and oxyge...
