CELECOXIB, A SELECTIVE CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 INHIBITOR, IS ANTICONVULSIVE IN MES INDUCED SEIZURES BUT PROCONVULSIVE IN PTZ INDUCED SEIZURES IN MICE: A POSSIBLE ROLE OF EXCITATORY AMINO ACID IN THIS DIFFERENTIAL EFFECT
Epilepsy is an achronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. There is a positive feedback cycle between epileptogenesis and brain inflammation. It has been proved that COX 2 is expressed constitutively in certain parts of the CNS and is further induced as a result of seizurogenic activity. Of the various experimental models of epilepsy, one is the maximal electroshock (MES) m...

MEDICINAL VALUE OF MILLETS FOR HEALTHY LIFE
Millets are one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. The Indian flatbread roti is made from ground millet seeds. In malice of all these extraordinary rates and capacities of millet husbandry systems, the area under millet products has been shrinking over the last five decades and swiftly after the green revolution period. The bit...

BETA-GLUCOGALLIN PREVENTS SCOPOLAMINE-INDUCED AMNESIA VIA CHOLINERGIC MODULATION AND ANTI-OXIDATIVE EFFECTS IN MICE
Background: Beta-glucogallin (BGG) is a tannin precursor naturally found in a variety of plants such as gooseberry, raspberry, amla, etc. BGG was reported to be a potential therapeutic agent in managing a variety of diseases. This investigation was intended to assess whether BGG alleviates amnesia induced by scopolamine in mice. We also investigated possible mechanisms associated with the choliner...

A NEW DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF STABILITY INDICATING RP-HPLC METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ANTI-RETROVIRAL DRUGS IN PHARMA-CEUTICAL DOSAGE FORM
In this study, a new simple, rapid and accurate, sensitive isocratic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of the Anti-retroviral drugs in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The chromatography was run through Denali C18 column (150 x 4.6 mm and 5 µm particle size). Mobile phase containing mixer of buffer 0.1% OPA (PH.4.6) acetonitrile is taken in the ratio 40:60 was pumped through col...

UV-B RADIATION INDUCED DIFFERENTIAL PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL RESPONSES IN NOSTOC COMMUNE AND ANABAENA VARIABILIS
Batch cultures of two cyanobacterial species i.e., Nostoc commune and Anabaena variabilis were used to evaluate the impact of UV-B radiation on growth, photosynthetic pigments, lipid peroxidation, proline content, protein content as well as on the enzymes nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase. The essential targets of UV-B radiation are the photosynthetic apparatus, photosynthetic pigments, a...
