DESIGN, OPTIMIZATION AND EVALUATION OF BUCCAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM OF PROPRANOLOL FOR HYPERTENSION TREATMENT
The main objectives of the present study were to design, optimization and evaluation of buccal drug delivery system of propranolol for hypertension treatment. Propranolol is non-selective β-adrenergic blockers. It shows first-pass metabolism so its bioavailability is decreased and its absolute bioavailability is only about 26%. The buccal tablets of propranolol formulated, by using different muco...

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...

ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICACY OF BIOGENIC COPPER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED FROM OCIMUM SANCTUM LEAF EXTRACT
A major challenge in treating bacterial infections is the increasing incidence of microbial resistance to antibiotics. This poses a serious threat prompting the search for alternative strategies to treat bacterial infections. Metal nanoparticles as novel antibiotic agents hold promise because they show strong antibacterial activity against various bacterial species, including Gram-positive and Gra...

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...

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...

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...

NIOSOMES: A NOVEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Drug-delivery systems designed for specific targets allow drugs to be precisely delivered to areas affected by diseases. Various carriers are used to deliver drugs, including immunoglobulins, serum proteins, synthetic polymers, liposomes, niosomes and microspheres. In the last decade, there has been a considerable amount of interest directed towards the advancement of surfactant-based vesicles (kn...

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...
