PHARMACOGNOSTICAL EVALUATION OF TERMINALIA CHEBULA FRUIT EXTRACT AGAINST RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIOUS PATHOGENS
To evaluate the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of Terminalia chebula, commonly called Haritaki was tested against respiratory tract infection-causing bacteria. The antibacterial activities were assessed by agar well diffusion, broth dilution and time-kill methods. It showed the best antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae among the tested respiratory infection-causing ba...

DESIGN AND IN-VITRO CHARACTERIZATION OF CHLORDIAZEPOXIDE EFFERVESCENT FLOATING TABLETS
Chlordiazepoxide is a sedative and hypnotic medication which is used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and/or drug abuse. Chlordiazepoxide has a medium to the long half-life, but its metabolite is pharmacologically active and has a very long half-life. In the present work, an attempt has been made to develop effervescent floating tablets of Chlordiazepoxide. Methocel...

ANTI-ESKAPE ACTIVITY OF GREEN SYNTHESIZED SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM PICRORHIZA KURROA ROYLE EX BENTH.
The facts like developing resistance in bacterial pathogens against conventional antibiotics, emergence of new infectious agents etc. have been leading the scientists to tedious research activities to find out antimicrobial drugs with novel modes of action. Among the multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial species that pose threat to human life, the IDSA has identified a group pathogens known as ESKAP...

AMELIORATIVE ROLE OF SELENIUM AND ZINC AGAINST REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY DUE TO EXPOSURE TO A MIXTURE OF HEAVY METALS LEAD, CADMIUM AND ARSENIC IN MALE ALBINO RATS
Introduction: Reproductive organs are the major target of heavy metal toxicity; oxidative stress plays a vital role in induction of such toxicity. Toxicity due to chronic exposure to a low dose mixture of three heavy metal lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) and ameliorative potentials of two antioxidant micronutrients selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) were evaluated in male albino rats. Materials ...

ROLE OF DEOXYCHOLIC ACID IN MODULATING HUMORAL AND CELL MEDIATED IMMUNE SYSTEM
Deoxycholic acid (DCA) is a secondary bile salt that is a major active constituent of Chinese traditional medicine, “Niuhuang” which is known to have immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Although data from the literature indicate possible immunomodulatory effects of Deoxycholic acid on the immune system, little has been reported regarding the mode of activity of DCA in modulating...

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MUTUAL PRODRUGS OF MEFENAMIC ACID WITH OTHER NSAIDS
Inflammation and pain have all been successfully treated using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Today's nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are typically taken with restriction due to the gastric intolerance they create. The prodrug approach is quite effective in reducing the side effects caused by NSAIDs. Many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug molecules have been modified in seve...

NANOGELS: AN OVERVIEW OF PROPERTIES, CLASSIFICATIONS, DRUG TARGETING METHODS, EVALUATION PARAMETERS AND APPLICATIONS
Nanogels (NGs) are advanced and innovative drug delivery systems that play an important role in remarking many issues that are associated with recent and trendy courses of treatment, such as non-specific effects and low stability. NGs could be well-defined as extremely cross-linked hydrogels (nano-sized) ranging from 20-200 nm. NGs are vigorous nanoparticles (NPs) used to deliver active ...

ADSORPTION KINETICS OF THE REMOVAL OF CIPROFLOXACIN FROM PHARMACEUTICAL WASTEWATER BY SURFACTANT MODIFIED KAOLINITE
In recent years, the extensive use of antibiotics has resulted in their frequent detection in the effluent discharge of wastewater discharge plants (WWTPs). In this study, the feasibility of using Surfactant-Modified Kaolinite (SMK) to remove the antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin (CIP) from wastewater was evaluated from batch experiments. The batch adsorption system was utilized to evaluate the CIP remova...

DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL CARBOHYDRATE BASED COMPOUNDS FOR BETTER ANTIPYRETIC ACTIVITY
Carbohydrate-based therapeutics are extremely potent, and many carbohydrate-based drugs are in the stage of preclinical or clinical trials. There is a growing interest in developing carbohydrate analogues for novel drug discovery as most of the recently used carbohydrate drugs display significant pharmacological activities and low toxicity. Also, the search for an antipyretic drug is a never-endin...
