ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY FROM BARK EXTRACTS OF PTEROSPERMUM ACERIFOLIUM (L.) WILLD.
Although there are many studies on antimicrobial activities of different plants, there is no report on antibacterial activity of Pterospermum acerifolium (Sterculiaceae). Therefore, a microbiological study was conducted to detect antibacterial activity of P. acerifolium. Successive ethanolic extract of bark of P. acerifolium were fractionated with hexane, butanol, methanol and water. In vitro anti...

ENHANCEMENT OF SOLUBILITY OF AN ORAL HYPOGLYCAEMIC DRUG, GLIMEPERIDE BY THE TECHNIQUE COCRYSTALLISATION
Co-crystallization is one of the most reliable alternative approaches to increase the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs without affecting their physicochemical properties. Pharmaceutical cocrystals are neutral organic compounds connected to the API preferentially by loosely formed bonds as dipole-dipole interaction. Our present study aims at improving the solubility of an effective oral hyp...

HUMAN AChE SELECTIVE INHIBITION OF PHYTOCHEMICALS OF SONCHUS WIGHTIANUS OF NEPAL ORIGIN: AN IN-SILICO APPROACH
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, which represents one of the major difficult challenges for drug discovery. Currently, 62% of the people are suffering from Alzheimer's disease around the world is expected to reaching 131.5 million people, and this will reach 71% by 2050. So far, only five drugs have been registered for the treatment of AD, including four ac...

EFFECT OF CHROMIUM ON MORPHOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL RESPONSES ON AQUATIC MACROPHYTE PISTIA STRATIOTES L. (WATER LETTUCE)
The current work reports an ecofriendly approach to study morphological and biochemical responses of Pistia stratiotes L. (Water lettuce) were investigated. The assessment of morphological, biochemical parameters, and accumulation of chromium in free-floating macrophyte exposed at its various concentrations viz. 0.25, 0.50, 1.25, and 2.5 ppm of chromium at the regular intervals of 4, 8, and 12 day...

PREPARATION AND IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF APREMILAST EFFERVESCENT FLOATING TABLETS
Apremilast, the new PDE4 inhibitor drug, exhibits low solubility and low permeability; therefore, shows variable bioavailability. Effervescent floating tablets of apremilast were developed to sustain the drug release rate by increasing gastric retention time. These tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique, using different polymers like carbopol 934P, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4M, tr...

NOVEL, RAPID, ISOCRATIC RP-HPLC METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF BETAMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE, MICONAZOLE NITRATE AND CHLOROCRESOL IN PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORM
A novel, rapid, isocratic, reversed-phase HPLC method was developed to simultaneously determine betamethasone dipropionate, miconazole nitrate and chlorocresol in a topical dosage form. The separation was performed on the C18 prontosil (250 x 4.6mm x 5µ) column. The mobile phase used for this study consists of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer of pH 2 in the ratio of 70:30 v/v, respectively. The ...

DNA INTERACTION STUDIES BY UV OF COPPER COMPLEX BASED ON HETEROCYCLIC CHALCONES
Privileged structures have been widely used as an effective template in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery. Chalcone is a common simple scaffold found in many naturally occurring compounds. Chalcones, considered as the precursors of flavonoids and isoflavonoids, are abundant in edible plants. Chalcone metal complexes and their derivatives have been known over the past fifty years. Copper is an...
