The study purpose is to further enhance the rate of dissolution for poorly water-soluble drug Nicardipine Hydrochloride by dissolving NH in surfactant, Co-surfactant, and oil; phase diagram was plotted by using oil (Capmul MM C8 EP), surfactant (Labrasol), and co-surfactant (PEG 400) through which a region called microemulsifying region was obtain. The batches were optimized by holding a 3-factor and 3-level Box–Behnken design for knowing the impact of independent and dependent variables. For the selection of dependent responses, the PCA technique was employed for examining significant variables. The Liq-SMEDDS were characterized for % T, zeta potential, emulsification time, particle size, cloud point, drug content, etc. The optimized batch shows an emulsification time of 32.73 sec and particle size as 97.745 nm. In-vitro drug release shows the faster release of drug as 90.37% within 15 min. S-SMEDDS were obtained by using Neusilin as an adsorbent in Optimized formulation. DSC of solid SMEDDS showed no peak indicates that the drug was completely converted into an amorphous form or was present in...

Macro and microelements are integrally linked to hormones, vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes in the human body. They affect the normal course of physiological processes. Some medicinal plants contain substantial contents of micro-and macro-elements, which makes it possible to use them purposefully for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. The target of the research was samples of G. macrophylla herb harvested and procured in the Republic of Tyva. The aim of this research provided a quantitative determination of the elemental composition in the herb of G. macrophylla Pall. as a possible source of macro and microelements. The determination was carried out with the atomic absorption spectrophotometry technique. As was discovered, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Se, Mo, B, and Ag are present in the G. macrophylla herb. The maximum admissible contents of heavy metals in the specimen under study did not exceed the limits recommended for the quality assessment of herbal raw...

Hypertension is the most life-threatening disease amongst all lifestyle diseases. So, there is always a need for such a dosage that can release the drug for a long period from a single dose which will reduce the dose burden for the patient. The propranolol HCL is a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocking agent extensively used in various cardiovascular diseases. In the present study hydrogel matrix tablets of anti-hypertensive drug, Propranolol HCL were prepared and evaluated. The HPMC was used as a rate retarding polymer, whereas Talc was used as filler, and magnesium stearate was used as a lubricant. The present study results point out that the rate of propranolol HCL release from HPMC matrices is mainly controlled by the drug: HPMC ratio. When the concentration of HPMC was enhanced, the release of the drug from the matrix tablet was retarded. The prepared hydrogel matrix tablets were evaluated for various parameters like Angle of Repose, Bulk Density, Tapped Density, Carr’s Index, hardness, friability, uniformity of weight, uniformity of drug content, and disintegration...

Objects: In the present study the anti-ulcer activity of Saccharum officinarum fresh juice was investigated in the chemical-induced ulcer. The efficacy of the plant based juice was compared with standard reference anti-ulcer drug Ranitidine. Methods: The fresh juice collected from the plant of S. officinarum. Firstly, washes the sugarcanes well and peel the outer layer of the cane with a big knife. Then cut them into small pieces and squeeze them for extraction. Take out the extract along with them in a big container. And then study with chemical-induced ulcer in healthy rats. Result: The modal of absolute 40% ethanol-induced ulcer, oral administration of fresh juice (20ml/kg/bw) dose showed that reduction in ulcer index, collection of gastric juice, free acidity, total acidity, and also shows the pH of gastric juice and all parameters compared with the control group. It was showing a protection index of 55.99% at the dose of 20ml/kg/bw. Ranitidine as reference standard drug and showing a protection index of 63.32% at the dose of 50mg/kg-bw. Conclusion:...

An in-silico attempt to predict rat oral acute toxicity, hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, genetic toxicity endpoints, nuclear receptor (NR) signaling, and stress response (SR) pathways of metabolites of synthetic medicine Ranitidine and flavonoids of Musa sp. The metabolites of common flavonoids and synthetic medicine were taken from literature, and the prediction was done by using ProTox-II webserver. The predictive results for the toxicity of these metabolites, N-nitrosodimethylamine obtained the lower LD50 value (26 mg/kg) as highest toxicity of class II, i.e., prescribed as fatal after swallowing ranged between >5 and ≤50, and rest compounds were class IV and V i.e., harmful or may be harmful if swallowing ranged between >300 and ≤2000 and >2000 and ≤5000. None of these were showed hepatotoxic as well as not cytotoxic and mutagenic active, but few were immunotoxic, and all metabolites of synthetic origin and two phytometabolites viz. quercetin-3-glucuronide and 5-O-methylmyricetin were obtained carcinogenic active. In the case of NR signaling pathways and SR pathways, three compounds were active on different parameters. In conclusion, this...
