This investigation describes a new precise, sensitive and accurate RP-HPLC method for the Simultaneous estimation of Sumatriptan succinate and Naproxen Sodium in Bulk and Tablets. The resolution of two drugs was achieved on XTerra C18 (150mm x 4.6mm i.d., 3.5mm particle size) column with UV detection at 284nm and the mobile phase consists of Buffer and Acetonitrile (25:75 v/v). Using chromatographic conditions described Sumatriptan succinate and Naproxen Sodium were well resolved with mean retention times of 2.622 and 4.070 min, respectively. Linear response (r>0.999) was observed over the range of 30-70µg/ml for Sumatriptan succinate and 20-60µg/ml for Naproxen Sodium. The lower limit of quantification and lower limit of detection was 10.02 and 3.0 for Sumatriptan succinate and 10.05 and 2.99 for Naproxen Sodium. The Validation parameters were performed according to the ICH guidelines and the proposed method can be useful in the routine analysis for the determination of Sumatriptan succinate and Naproxen Sodium in Pharmaceutical dosage...

Trypsin inhibitor (AATI) was purified from the seeds of Achyranthes aspera to homogeneity by conventional methods and its antimicrobial activity was tested on selected pathogenic microbes. The inhibitor significantly affected the growth of Proteus vulgaris followed by Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia with zones of inhibition recorded as 28mm, 26mm, 25mm, 20mm and 14mm respectively. No inhibition, however, was observed with Staphylococcus pneumonia strain. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of AATI supported that Proteus vulgaris and Bacillus subtilis were the most sensitive strains against the inhibitor. AATI did not differentiate gram positive and gram negative bacteria in its antibacterial activity. The trypsin inhibitor was ineffective against fungal strains Asperigillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria alternate and Candida albicans...

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) were widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Recent studies have shown that TZDs have paradoxical effects on cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of TZDs (Rosiglitazone and Pioglitazone) in High Fructose Diet (HFD) induced hypertension in rats. HFD was given for 14 weeks. After 8 weeks of hypertension induction period, treatment phase was started with Rosiglitazone (ROSI 10 and 30 mg/kg, p.o.) and Pioglitazone (PIO 10 and 30 mg/kg, p.o.) to the respective groups which were continued till 6 weeks. Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) was measured weekly and serum glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol and HDL-C were measured at the end of study period. In HFD fed rats hypertension was observed after 8 weeks. Treatment with the test drugs significantly reversed the changes in serum enzyme levels as well as SBP made by HFD feeding compared to the control group. The study concludes that TZDs possess antihypertensive effect as exhibited in the present experimental...

The present study was undertaken to investigate in-vitro antioxidant activity of aqueous and hydroalcoholic extract of whole plant of Bacopa monnieri Linn. Family- Scrophularaceae. The total Phenolic content was determined using folin ciocalteau method while the total flavonoid content was determined using aluminium chloride method. In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using the Reducing power assay, Hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, nitric oxide scavenging activity, superoxide scavenging activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. The hydroalcoholic extract had more phenol concentration (116.1 mg/g of extract) when compared to aqueous extract (58 mg/g of extract). The flavonoid content was more in hydroalcoholic extract (242.6 mg/g of extract) when compared to that of aqueous extract (202.8 mg/g of extract). The reducing power and hydrogen peroxide scavenging of the extract was found to be concentration dependent. The nitric oxide scavenging activity, superoxide scavenging activity and Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was also concentration dependent with IC50 value being 254.70 µg/ml , 934.06 µg/ml and 510.60 µg/ml respectively for Aqueous extract and 169.22 µg/ml, 495.83 µg/ml,...
