RECENT TRENDS IN TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF FILARIASIS
Filariasis is the name for a group of tropical diseases caused by various thread-like parasitic round worms (nematodes) and their larvae. The larvae transmit the disease to humans through a mosquito bite. Filariasis is characterized by fever, chills, headache, and skin lesions in the early stages and, if untreated, can progress to include gross enlargement of the limbs and genitalia in a condi...

PRE-FORMULATION CHARACTERIZATION OF CHELATED AMINO ACID COMPLEXES
Amino acid chelated complexes were synthesized and characterized to determine their purity. The purity of the complexes was found to be ranging from 42-75%. The HPLC method for determination of free amino acid content in the complexes was developed and validated and found to be linear, precise and accurate within concentration range of 0.157 mg/mL to 20.14 mg/mL. The method was used to estimate ...

DEVELOPMENT AND BIOEQUIVALENCE STUDY OF OLANZAPINE 10mg TABLETS
Generic drugs are lower-cost versions of patent-expired original brand-name medications. According to guidelines of regulatory agencies of the Canada, US and European Union, a generic drug must be “identical, or bioequivalent to a brand name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use”. Bioequivalence is decreed when the...

TRANSETHOSOMES: A NEW PROSPECT FOR ENHANCED TRANSDERMAL DELIVERY
The skin covers a total surface area of approximately 1.8 m2 and provides the contact between the human body and its external environment. Transdermal route of drug delivery has gained great interest in pharmaceutical research as it overcomes many problems associated with the oral route of administration. Although the skin, particularly the stratum corneum presents a barrier to most drug absorptio...

ETHOSOMES – A PROMISING WAY FOR TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY
One of the major advances in vesicle research was the finding that some modified vesicles possessed properties that allowed them to successfully deliver drugs in deeper layers of skin. Transdermal delivery is important because it is a noninvasive procedure for drug delivery. Further, problem of drug degradation by digestive enzymes after oral administration and discomfort associated with parentera...

PHYSICOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF PARACETAMOL TABLETS FORMULATED WITH THE GUM FROM THE FRESH LEAVES OF CORCHORUS OLITORIUS
Corchorus olitorius L. belongs to the family Tiliaceae. It is a plant with diverse medicinal uses. Its leaves when used to cook, give rise to a ‘slimy, viscous’ soup, hence the interest in investigating its binding properties. Gum was extracted from its leaves using standard procedures. The extracted gum was then used to prepare paracetamol tablets using concentrations of 1%, 2%, 4% and 6% res...
