Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence. From delivering simple groceries to doorsteps to solving the toughest task in scientists’ lab, it is surrounding human life in all the means. So how can the Pharma industry be untouched in the case of AI?! Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a type of AI used to solve non-linear problems and predict the output for given input parameters from the training values. In this research work, such generalized ANN is developed to predict drug release from the sustained-release monolithic tablet. It is trained by the backpropagation method under supervised learning. This developed model is evaluated on the basis of RMSE, similarity and dissimilarity factors and can predict the output with the best achieved average error ~0.0095 and R2 0.9953. Such ANNs can be the best combination of experience and intelligence, which can eliminate tedious lab works that can be cost-effective and...

The current research paper was focused on exploiting Plackett-Burman design to screen the effect of eight factors Pregelatinised Starch (A), Crospovidone (B), Microcrystalline Cellulose PH 101 (C), Talc (D), Magnesium Stearate (E), Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (F), Hydroxy Propyl Cellulose (G) and Lactose Monohydrate (H) on the release of drugs from the Immediate release DEM Cocrystal tablets prepared by direct compression method. The studies were carried out according to a statistical eight-factor 12 model using STATGRAPHICS XVI software and were subjected to a dissolution analysis at 0.1 N HCl pH 1.2 for determination of drug release. The ANOVA and the residual analysis showed the importance of the model. Pareto charts were generated using Design Expert® for visual identification of the effect of excipients on drug release. The drug release percentage was significantly affected by Crospovidone, Hydroxy propylmethyl cellulose, and microcrystalline cellulose. Plackett Burman could guide the process of reducing the number of experiments to a manageable level...

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of extract of D. brasiliensis (CEDb) on acute liver injuries induced by both acetaminophen, and carbon tetrachloride in mice as an initial step to validate its popular use. A liquid-chromatography method coupled to Mass Spectrometry showed the presence of coumarins dorstenin, bergapten, and psoralene in CEDb. Swiss albino male mice were pre-treated orally with CEDb and then injected with paracetamol and carbon tetrachloride. Animals were sacrificed, and serum was separated for measuring the activity of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase. Increased serum level of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) induced by both acetaminophen (350 mg/kg i.p.) and CCl4 (1% in sunflower oil v/v, i.p.) administered to mice were attenuated by oral pre-treatment with CEDb (50.0, 100.0, 200.0 and 300.0 mg/kg). In the paracetamol-induced liver injury, the influence of doses of CEDb configured a dose-dependent-like effect. Moreover, in carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury, a non-dose-dependent effect was observed. Based on these results, we concluded that D. brasiliensis...

The objective of the present research is to enhance the solubility and improve the rate of dissolution of poorly water soluble drug aceclofenac, which belongs to BCS class II. Enhancement of solubility was be achieved by converting the poorly water-soluble drugs into Bionanocomposites (BNCs) by using natural carriers, which ultimately leads to enhance the bioavailability of drug entities. Bionanocomposites (BNCs) were prepared using the microwave-assisted synthesis fusion method, where the drug entities were fused with natural carriers such as Acacia arabica and gond katira. Selection of carriers was done based on their wetting and surfactant properties. The FTIR, DSC studies reveal that there was no any interaction between aceclofenac and Natural carriers. Solubility dissolution studies were carried out to investigate the solubility-enhancing property of the BNCs. In-vitro dissolution studies of prepared aceclofenac’s BNCs were characterized through DSC, SEM, XRD and FTIR. Both the gum were shown less % of swelling index, viscosity and foaming index. From the study, it was found that the developed ten batches of BNCs among...

Milk and milk products are nutritious food items containing numerous essential nutrients. This study was carried out to determine the influence of variable season on profiling of amino acid and protein content from 90 bovine milk collected (March 2018 to February 2019) samples belongs to four tehsils of Singrauli district. The most abundant amino acid was glutamic acid, followed by proline and leucine. Concentration of amino acid in cow milk was found to be in order of Glycine < histidine < alanine < methionine < isoleucine < phenylalanine < threonine < tyrosine < serine < lysine < valine and aspartic acid < arginine < leucine < proline < glutamic acid. Amino acid status in buffalo milk sample was found in order Glycine < histidine < methionine < alanine < phenylalanine < isoleucine < threonine < arginine < tyrosine < serine and lysine < aspartic acid < valine < leucine < proline < glutamic acid. Average protein content comparison, results, in rainy season, maximum protein content was in Deosar and...
