ENCAPSULATION OPTIMIZATION OF TAMARIND SEED ANTIOXIDANTS IN ALGINATE HYDROGELS USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY: STUDY OF CONTROLLED RELEASE BEHAVIOR IN SIMULATED GASTROINTESTINAL CONDITIONS
Tamarindus indica seeds - a byproduct of the food industry, are generated in huge amounts during tamarind pulp processing. These seeds are a source of a wide range of polyphenols with natural antioxidant content. In this study, we have encapsulated the polyphenolic components extracted from the seeds in an optimized condition. Statistical optimization of the encapsulation parameters was done using...

HIGHLY SELECTIVE AND SENSITIVE DETERMINATION OF Cr6+ (nM) IN GELATIN CAPSULE USING AgF/Ag2WO4 NANOCOMPOSITE
The present work deals with a novel synthesis of AgF/Ag2WO4 nanocomposite by co-precipitation method. The morphology and size of the synthesized AgF/Ag2WO4 nanocomposite were confirmed by Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Transition Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses. The performance of the nanocomposite was succ...

MEASUREMENT OF pH OF THE DIGESTIVE VACUOLE ISOLATED FROM THE PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM-INFECTED ERYTHROCYTE BY DIGITONIN PERMEABILIZATION
The acidic pH of the digestive vacuole (DV) of P. falciparum is thought to play a major role in the mechanisms of digestion of host erythrocyte hemoglobin, detoxification of heme, and chloroquine (CQ) action and resistance. However, a definitive measurement of the DV pH has been technically difficult. A previous study by Abu Bakar (2015) measured the DV pH by using fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextr...

RECENT FRONTIERS IN SELF MICRO EMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM: A REVIEW
Oral route has always been the preferred route of drug administration in many diseases. This route is limited to those drugs molecules that are permeable across the gastric mucosa and are sparingly soluble. Solubility is an important parameter to achieve the desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for therapeutic response. As a consequence of modern drug discovery techniques, there h...

COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL AND REAL-TIME PCR FOR MONITORING OF RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS AMONG PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IN NORTHERN INDIA 2011-2014
Background: In India, the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infections (17 to 32%) in the pediatric age group. Viral detection during the acute phase of infection is a critical step for care and prevention. Objectives: We sought to investigate the detection of RSV by rt-RT-PCR, conventional PCR and cell culture among pediatric patients. Methods: Throat/n...

NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF MORUS NIGRA L. (MULBERRY) FRUIT EXTRACT ON ACRYLAMIDE – INDUCED DANIO RERIO (ZEBRAFISH)
In the current scenario, high concentrations of acrylamide (ACR), a water-soluble vinyl monomer, which is used industrially and also found in thermally processed carbohydrate-rich foods, poses serious health risks to humans. Oxidative stress is an important mediator of central and peripheral neurotoxicity, which is one of the most recognized toxicological effects of high concentration acrylamide e...

CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED CACHEXIA: THE ORPHAN DISEASE
Cancer remains a major cause of mortality worldwide, with chemotherapy serving as a cornerstone of cancer treatment. While effective in targeting malignant cells, chemotherapy is associated with debilitating side effects, including cachexia a complex, multifactorial syndrome characterized by unintentional weight loss, muscle wasting, fatigue, and reduced physical function. This condition arises fr...
