REVIEW ON DERIVING A HYPOTHESIS FOR ACHIEVING SUPERIOR BIOAVAILABILITY OF CURCUMIN AS AN ANTITUMOR AGENT
Curcumin, chemically 1,7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) hepta-1,6-diene-3,5-dione derived from Curcuma longa L. is an active chemical constituent used medicinally worldwide from ancient times. Though Curcumin enjoying the reputation of many pharmacological actions, it has certain setbacks with poor bioavailability. The poor water solubility is said to be the reason for poor bioavailability, rathe...

A NEW TARGET FOR DIABETES: HOMOLOGY MODELING AND IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL LEADS THROUGH VIRTUAL SCREENING
Monocarboxylate transporter 11 (MCT11) is a transporter protein encoded by the SLC16A11 gene. MCT11 protein is found to play an important role in many biological activities in different species. MCT11 helps in hepatic lipid metabolism by catalyzing the transport of pyruvate molecules across the membrane. It is also found to be involved in regulation of Diabetes. Therefore, MCT11 protein is taken i...

EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT PARAMETERS OF MUKIA MADERASPATANA
The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of extracts and fractions of Mukia maderaspatana on glycemia, lipid profile, lipoprotein level and antioxidant profile in STZ induced diabetic rats for 21 days. Diabetes was induced using streptozotocin (50 mg/kg i.p) and after the induction of diabetes the animals were given with MMEE (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg), MMCF (100 mg/kg) and MMBF (100...

DETERMINATION OF PHYTOCHEMICAL CONTENTS AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF ETHANOL EXTRACT OF THE LEAVES OF SCURRULA PARASITICA L.
The phytochemical analysis of ethanol extract of Scurrula parasitica showed positive results for alkaloid, saponins, tannin, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenol, reducing sugar and phytosterols whereas glycoside is found to be absent. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were evaluated and found to be total phenolic compounds (101.9-379.1 µg/g tissue) and total flavonoids (72-174.1 µg/g tissue), respe...

SOLUBILITY ENHANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF GUM BASED COLON TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS OF QUERCETIN
The study aimed to enhance the solubility and develop a polymer (Guar Gum/Xanthan gum) based colon targeted drug delivery system of Quercetin promising in-vitro mouth-to-colon release profile. The solubility of the drug was enhanced by the solid dispersion method using solvent-evaporation technique; the optimized formulation 1:5 (Quercetin: PVP) was targeted to colon. Thermal studies proved that t...

A PROSPECTIVE STUDY ON CORTICOSTEROID USAGE AND INCIDENCE OF CORTICOSTEROID-INDUCED HYPERGLYCEMIA IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Corticosteroids are a widely used class of drugs for respiratory, autoimmune, gastrointestinal, and dermatological conditions. Despite the efficacy of steroids, they have a wide variety of side effects. However, SIH remains the most misdiagnosed side effect. Undiagnosed SIH will precipitate DM, increases the morbidity and length of hospital stay, especially when pre-existing risk factors are prese...
