Aim: Cellulite treatment incorporates iso-slim complex to reload the skin with minerals and trace elements to achieve absolute effectiveness in treating cellulite condition. The revitalizing effect of anticellulite helps to refine and reshape the silhouette and give the body a more toned, defined and firmer appearance. Aim of present work was to develop and investigate a novel delivery system for the fatty skin in the form of liposome delivery system. Method: Phosphatidylcholine, Cholesterol and iso-slim complex were dissolved in chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v) mixture and subsequently transferred into a pear-shaped flask connected to a Rotavapor (Buchi- type). Rotary evaporation method was used for the formulation of liposomes. Result: Liposome prepared was evaluated for particle size measurement, percent drug entrapment, formulation of dosage forms, Stability Study and in vivo study. Optimized batch had particle size 18.62 um, percent drug entrapment 96.70%. Hence, optimized was batch further evaluated for in vivo study and stability study. Conclusion: The present study has been a satisfactory attempt to formulate and evaluate liposome of iso-slim complex...

Various medicinal properties have been attributed to natural herbs. The use of traditional medicine is widespread in India. These herbal remedies are an important source for the discovery of new antimicrobials against the resistant strains of bacteria. Asavas and Arishtas are specially prepared ayurvedic medicines. They are alcoholic solutions containing all the active ingredients of the drugs of which they are compounded. Asavas are prepared by using herbal juices or herbs soaked in water while Arishtas are prepared by decoction. Different parts of medicinal plants are used traditionally for the preparation of specific asava or arishta that is effective against specific disorder. About 25 different medicinal plants commonly used were selected. Dried powders of these plants were extracted in water. The antibacterial activity of the extracts were then tested by agar well diffusion method against standard cultures of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella aerogenes, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus thuringenesis. The individual extracts of Emblica officinalis, Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica andWoodfordia fructicosa, Jaggery were active against the test...

The principal derivative of chitin is Chitosan, produced by alkaline deacetylation of chitin, is a non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible, cationic polymer. Chitosan has been widely used in the formulation of particulate drug delivery systems to achieve controlled drug delivery. The main objective of the study was to develop enteric coated Chitosan capsule containing budesonide for targeting the ileum and ascending colon sites which were mainly affected in Crohn’s disease. This work describes a new colonic drug delivery system utilizing capsule shells prepared from Chitosan. Coating of drug filled Chitosan capsule with pH dependent enteric polymer like Eudragit S100 / L100 (1:1) provides it a special feature of releasing drug at colonic pH. The in-vivo study involves the Gamma scintigraphic evaluation of enteric coated Chitosan capsule. The enteric coated Chitosan capsule proved to be efficient to deliver the drug at ileum and ascending colon in Crohn’s...
