A COMPLETE RECAPITULATION OF A DRUG DELIVERY BASED ON OSMOTIC PRESSURE: AN OSMOTIC DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Conventional dosage forms are the systems that don't have complete control on their drug release, and also there is no control over the effective concentration at the target site. So in order to overcome this problem the osmotic drug delivery system was developed for the controlled delivery of drugs. This osmotic drug delivery system includes dosage forms for oral administration and implantable sy...

PREPARATION AND EVALUATION OF EXTENDED-RELEASE MICROSPHERES OF QUETIAPINE FUMARATE
The objective of present study was to develop extended release microspheres of quetiapine fumarate using Eudragit RS 100 and Eudragit RL100 to reduce the dosing frequency. The quetiapine fumarate-loaded Eudragit microspheres were formulated by a solvent evaporation method. A 32 factorial design was employed to study the effect of concentration of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and drug: polymer ratio...

EFFECT OF ABIOTIC STRESSES ON THE MARKER CONTENT AND THE ACTIVITY OF CENTELLA ASIATICA
Centella asiatica (CA; family Apiaceae) is extensively used in traditional medicine. A regular supply of this plant is required by the herbal drug industry. Hence, the cultivation of this plant is required. The emphasis of the available cultivation practices is on biomass yield. The activity of the plant, however, depends on the amount of bioactive constituents. The production of these secondary m...

INHIBITION OF ISLET AMYLOID POLYPEPTIDE FIBRILLATION BY OKRA SEED EXTRACT-COATED GOLD-NANOPARTICLES
In recent work, an ethanolic extract of okra seeds was successfully conjugated onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via a reduction reaction that has been developed by our laboratory. Because of eliciting antioxidant activity and the presence of g-sitosterol in the extract, such synthesis methodology could be applied. The resulting okra-AuNPs were physically characterized by different methods, includin...

EFFECT OF VERMIWASH AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON GROWTH AND STEM ANATOMY OF HIBISCUS CANNABINUS L.
Growth and development events in plants are controlled by growth regulators and Phytohormones. These are found naturally in plants. Environmental Pollution is one of the major problems and reactions caused by artificial growth regulators and their low biodegradability has urged us to search for new biofertilizers with growth-regulating activity. Vermiwash is a liquid fertilizer that has been shown...
