IN-VIVO ANTIHYPERLIPIDEMIC ACTIVITY AND PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF BAUHINIA ACUMINATA
The global burden of CVD is rising due to its increasing prevalence in lower- and middle-income countries where 80% of all global CVD-related deaths occur. Common significant risk factors for dyslipidemia included obesity, diabetes, and dysglycemia. The present study was aimed to investigate the potential antihyperlipidemic activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Bauhinia acuminata in atherogenic di...

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...

DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF CAPECITABINE NIOSOMES DERIVED FROM PRONIOSOMES
The aim of this investigation was to design and optimize the Capecitabine niosomes derived from proniosomes using central composite design. Two independent variables viz., the molar ratio of drug to cholesterol (X1), surfactant loading (X2) and two dependent variables viz., the percentage drug entrapment (PDE) and mean volume diameter (MVD) were selected for the study. Proniosomes were prepared by...

RASAGILINE MESYLATE, A BCS CLASS III DRUG; EX-VIVO PERMEATION ENHANCEMENT STUDY THROUGH EXCISED RAT ABDOMINAL SKIN
Rasagiline Mesylate (RM), an antiparkinson drug, belongs to BCS class III drug having high solubility with low permeability. It undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism with oral bioavailability of only 35%. In the present research work, efforts were made to improve its permeation as requisite for the transdermal drug delivery system. RM was authenticated by determination of melting point. Furthe...
