Background: During recent years, there has been a large investigation on different classes of thiadiazole compounds, many of which were found to possess an extensive spectrum of pharmacological activities. This study was undertaken to synthesize and evaluate the analgesic activity of [1,3,4]-thiadiazole-[1,3-dione]-isoindole derivatives. Methods: The purity of the synthesized compounds was checked by performing thin layer chromatography and determining melting points. All the synthesized compounds were subjected to spectral analysis such as FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscopy. The acute toxicity study was performed using the ‘up and down method’ while the in-vivo analgesic activity was evaluated using ‘Eddy’s hot plate method in mice, taking ibuprofen as standard. Data analysis was done using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s t-test. Results: The melting point values of each of the synthesized compounds were found to be between 145-238°C, and the molecular weight values were found to be between 204-496 gm. Spectral analysis of all the synthesized compounds has shown satisfactory results. Rf values of all the synthesized compounds were found to be different...

Objective: To correlate the pharmacognostic appearance and physiochemical specification of the leaves of Amaranthus viridus and Amaranthus spinosus. Methods: Pharmacognostical features were scrutinized using fresh and dried powder, and physicochemical assessment was done by WHO guidelines. The phytochemical screenings were adopted for disclosing the existence of phytoconstituents in extracts. Results: The organoleptic features have been recorded for the fresh and powder material of Amaranthus viridus and Amaranthus spinosus. Microscopical examination reveals the arrangement of stomata, trichomes, and parenchymatous cells in both Amaranthus species. Phytochemical screening with discrete extracts affirms the existence of different phytoconstituents like alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, protein, and amino acids. Identification of Physicochemical characters is useful in distinguishing the powdered drug material. Based on Phytochemical screening results, alkaloid content was determined by spectrophotometric methods and reported more amount in Amaranthus viridis when compared to Amaranthus spinosus. Conclusion: The current research favours in an attempt to expand the data with respect to its standardization, identification and exploration of...

Corticosteroids are a widely used class of drugs for respiratory, autoimmune, gastrointestinal, and dermatological conditions. Despite the efficacy of steroids, they have a wide variety of side effects. However, SIH remains the most misdiagnosed side effect. Undiagnosed SIH will precipitate DM, increases the morbidity and length of hospital stay, especially when pre-existing risk factors are present. Steroids may cause glucose control to deteriorate if administered to those who already have diabetes. The primary aim of the study was to review the corticosteroid usage and to assess the incidence of steroid-induced hyperglycemia. The patients were enrolled based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were categorized into diabetic (HbA1c <6.5%) and non-diabetic population, and their blood glucose levels were assessed. The Incidence of Corticosteroid Induced Hyperglycemia was found to be 45.8%. The potential risk factors for SIH were older age, history of diabetes mellitus, higher BMI, duration of therapy, and drug interaction. Insulin and combination therapy (CT) of insulin & OHA was the most frequently prescribed treatment for SIH, which...

Moringa Cocanensis Nimmo is one of the important medicinal plants belonging to the family moringaceae. Moringa Cocanensis Nimmo has antipyretic, antihelmintic, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, and anticancer activities. It is one of the most noted systems of medicine in the world. Ayurveda is based on the hypothesis that everything in the universe is composed of five basic elements viz. space, air, energy, liquid, and soil. The traditional system was proved to be more effective when compared to synthetic drugs due to reduction in side effects, adverse effects, and even a little increase in dose was not that dangerous when compared to the synthetic drugs. It was even found to be more economical and safer in all means. Hence, we have choosed the plant Moringa Concanensis Nimmo, evaluated its medicinal property and proved its antioxidant nature for replacing synthetic drug formulations. When ringer solution containing H2O2 perfused to heart preparation, the muscaranic actions of acetylcholine were not observed much, indicating the oxidative stress on frog heart induced by H2O2; this might be...

Traditionally Psidum guajava has been used for the treatment of several kinds of disorders. The component quercetin a flavonoid that is present in the guava leaves, is responsible of having wound healing properties, so the aim and objective of the study was to Develop Herbal loaded Niosomes for the treatment of Wound Healing. To enhance the transport and efficacy of many materials through stratum corneum one of various methods expanded nowadays is the usage of new drug delivery system such as Niosomal formulations. Niosomes are self assemblies of non ionic surfactants with or without cholesterol, which can be used for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. The extraction of Psidum guajava is performed by Soxhlet apparatus, and the extract is evaluated for phytochemical screening, antimicrobial activity, and TLC. Materials used in the formulation are span 60, cholesterol, diethyl ether, chloroform, buffer and extract. The herbal drug-loaded niosomes are prepared by using reverse phase evaporation method. Total twelve formulations are prepared and the formulations (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6) were...
