Empirically dry fallen of Artocarpus altilis leaves are widely used as a traditional medicine, but the green leaves that have been widely studied. Therefore, this research was conducted to compare the metabolite profile of green leaf, attached yellow, fallen yellow, fallen dry, and fermented green leaves. Comparison of flavonoid content was conduted by HPLC. Extraction was performed using Soxhlet apparature, fractionation by VLC and setrifugal chromatography. HPLC analysis of various leaves showed that the fallen dry leaves contained the highest flavonoid compound. Three compounds were isolated, compound 1 characterized Uv-Vis, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopies and identified as sitostenone. Compound 2 showed UV spectrum typical of flavonoid with M – 392 and tentatively identified as flavon with two prenyl substituents. Coumpound 3 was identified as b-caroten based on its UV spectrum and chromatographic...

Background: Vitamin D3 deficiency continues to be an unrecognized epidemic in many populations around the world. Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium, and bone formation and maintenance. Objective: This study was carried out with an objective of evaluating the prevalence of low Vitamin D levels (insufficiency and deficiency) in female office workers and housewife’s in Geetanjali medical college and hospital, Udaipur. Material & method: This study was carried out in Geetanjali hospital and medical college, a retrospective study conducted on 50 working and 50 housewife’s subjects between age group 18-32 years. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Serum calcium, serum phosphorous, and alkaline phosphatase were determined by a fully-auto-analyzer. The serum level of Vitamin D3 was measured using the electro chemiluminescence immunoassay methodology. Results: The difference in the BMI between the office workers and housewife’s was statistically no significant. Vitamin D3 was 18.72 ± 6.97ng/ml (SEM0.987) in office worker’s and 9.94 ± 6.14 ng/ml (SEM 0.869) in housewife’s with a highly significant (p<0.0001) statistical difference. Conclusion: ...

The electrochemical behavior of Ketamine is studied by employing D.C. Polorography (DCP), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Polarography (DPP) in universal buffers of pH ranging from 2.0-12.0. The kinetic parameters, such as transfer coefficients, diffusion coefficients and heterogeneous forward rate constant values were evaluated by employing these techniques. Differential Pulse Polarography was employed for the estimation of ketamine in selected pharmaceutical...

Oral salbutamol sulphate has site-specific absorption in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine. Its bioavailability is about 40% due to several factors including narrow absorption window and extensive intestinal metabolism. The aim of this study was to formulate and optimize sustained release floating tablets of salbutamol sulphate in order to improve its bioavailability and reduce its dosing frequency. Accordingly, floating tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique and drug release analysis was performed by HPLC. The effects of polymer level, polymer type (XG or HPMC), polymer ratio (XG/HPMC; 1:1, 1:3, 3:1) and NaHCO3 level on floating lag time, floating duration, cumulative release within 1 hr, and release rate were investigated. From preliminary studies, the polymer with 1:3 (XG:HPMC) ratio and NaHCO3 were selected as significant factors and cumulative release at 1 hr and release rate were chosen as significant responses, respectively. Hence, the effect of these factors were further studied and optimized by central composite design. The most desirable representative optimal point was obtained at 24.79%...

A simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC–MS/ MS) assay method has been developed and fully validated for the quantification of Teriflunomide (TFM), in different biological matrices like human plasma, rat plasma, rabbit plasma and dog plasma and as well as their serums. The analytes were extracted from 200 µL aliquots of each plasma/serum via protein precipitation using acetonitrile. The extracted samples were chromatographed on a XBridge C18 column by using acetonitrile and 5 mM ammonium formate (pH 9.0) as the mobile phase in gradient mode at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The calibration curves obtained were linear (r2 ≥ 0.98) over the concentration range of 1.0–4000 ng/mL. Detection was carried out on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with an electro spray ionization (ESI) mode using the respective m/z 268.8→82 for TFM and 281→86 for IS. The method was validated interms of specificity, accuracy, precision and limit of quantification. The results of the intra-and inter-day precision and accuracy studies were...
