A series of metal complexes, namely, Ni (II), Zn (II), Cu (II) and Pt (II), have been synthesized with newly prepared biologically active ligands. These ligands and their functional groups were carefully designed and selected to display DNA cleavage effect. Schiff base compoundof 2 – methyl – 3 – aminobenzopyrimidine – 4 – one (L1) was prepared by condensation of an equimolar mixture of 2-methyl-3-aminobenzopyrimidine-4-one (0.01 mole) and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.01 mole) in ethanol (25 ml). Schiff base (L2) compound was prepared by condensation of a mixture of Schiff base (1) (0.02 mole) and o-phenylenediamine (0.01 mole) in ethanol (25 ml) and a catalytic amount of KOH. The mixture was refluxed for 36 hrs. Ligand L2 (1 mmole) was dissolved in hot methanol. The metal chloride (1 mmole) was then added and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 24 h. The structures of ligands and their complexes have been confirmed by spectroscopic data i.e. IR, 1HNMR, MS, electronic and elemental (CHN) analysis. All Compounds were screened for DNA cleavage...

This present study aims to develop an accurate, precise, and linear reverse-phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of Pioglitazone HCL in Pharmaceutical dosage form. Method: The chromatographic system employs a reverse-phase Hypersil BDS, C8 250 × 4.6 mm, 5 columns using 0.01M Potassium phosphate buffer and acetonitrile (40:60) as mobile phase, methanol as a diluent in isocratic mode. A flow rate of 1.0 ml/min was optimized with a detection wavelength at 225 nm. The retention time (Rt) was around 4.72 ± 0.2 min. Results: The method was validated with respect to specificity, selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness as per ICH guidelines. The assay method was observed linear in the concentration range of 0.079-0.318 mg/ml with a Correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9999. The percentage recovery of active pharmaceutical ingredients from tablet dosage form ranged from 99.40-100.40%. Stress conditions of degradation in acidic, alkaline, peroxide, thermal, and UV radiation were...

Last few eras, the remarkable advancement in the drug delivery system has been done; the oral route remains the important and picks up the safest route of drug delivery. Regardless of outstanding advancements in the oral route medication, the current study focused on the formulation of rebamipide SR tablets by studying several blends and their characteristics, including drug-excipients compatibility studies. Ultimately, it was concluded that it is safe to use PEO N12K, Camphor (milled), and MCC in the formulation of the Rebamipide Sustained release tablet. Thus, rebamipide Sustained-release tablets are successfully prepared by using conventional wet granulation technique requires making a matrix type tablet and displaying drug-release through diffusion mechanism. This formulation will assuredly improve patient adherence, improve bioavailability, low side-effects, and sustained clinical activity over the required duration of time (24 h) after single-dose administration. For the determination of the drug content in formulation, a simple, rapid, accurate, robust, and specific UV-Spectroscopy method was developed for the assay of the rebamipide sustained release tablet. The detection was carried...

IPB-3S Strain Oryza sativa bran, a high-antioxidant food, was expected to protect the brain as a susceptible organ from oxidative damage. This study was conducted to analyze the effect of rice bran extract on malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH) levels in the brain induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley male rats was divided into 6 groups, including normal control (C1); negative control (C2); 150 mg/kg rice bran extract (I1); 150 mg/kg rice bran extract + CCl4 (I2); 300 mg/kg rice bran extract (I3); and 300 mg/kg rice bran extract + CCl4 (I4). The MDA levels were measured by Wills method, while GSH levels were measured by the Ellman method. The administration of low-dose (150 mg/kg) and high-dose (300 mg/kg) rice bran extracts significantly lowered MDA levels compared to control groups, both in the groups with and without the induction of CCl4 (p <0.05). Moreover, the administration of low-dose (150 mg/kg) also significantly increased GSH level (p <0.05), contrary to the groups administered by high-dose...

Nanosuspension is a biphasic system consisting of drug particles dispersed in an aqueous surfactant or polymeric solution with a particle size between 10 to 1000 nm. Nanosuspension offers the unique advantage of increasing solubility of the pure drug resulting into faster drug absorption and hence achieving faster maximum plasma concentration. Hence, the aim of this research work was to formulate and characterize surfactants/polymer-stabilized nanosuspensions of diosmin (DSN), a phytomedicine, to surpass its poor physicochemical properties and low oral bioavailability. Nanosuspensions were prepared by probe sonication with varying concentrations of different surfactants and polymers such as PVP K 25, poloxamer 188, Tween 80, and PEG 400. Nanosuspension prepared with 3% w/v PEG 400 and 3% w/v DSN, exhibited the lowest size of 203.9 nm, PDI of 0.219, and adequate zeta potential of -27.26 mV, which was subjected to solubility and in-vitro drug release study. The highest solubilizing capacity of DSN was manifested in orthophosphate buffer pH 12. Approximately five times increase in saturation solubility of lyophilized nanosuspension was observed than...
