The aim of the current investigation was to prepare and investigate the potential of Clobetasol (CP) loaded solid lipid nanoparticles based gel (SLN-gel) for the dermal delivery and to evaluate its anti-psoriatic efficacy by comparing with conventional ointment formulation. This study will provide an insight into the use of nanocarriers, esp. SLNs loaded with CP for the effective treatment of psoriasis. Clobetasol-loaded SLNs were formulated by the emulsification-homogenisation method and were characterized for particle size and polydispersity using DLS technique. The optimized SLNs were loaded into a gel and evaluated for drug release, spreadability. Anti-psoriatic efficacy of the SLNs gel was evaluated in imiquimod (IMQ) induced psoriatic plaque model by comparing with prepared conventional ointment formulation (0.05% w/w CP). Optimized SLNs attains a particle size of 133.3 ± 3.66 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) 0.179 ± 0.081, percentage entrapment efficiency of 78.1 ± 1.11% and Zeta potential of -36.2 ± 0.11 mV. The prepared SLNs gel was then compared with conventional ointment for drug release and efficacy. Topical application of...

In migraine disease which is an autoimmune disorder, 5-HT1 receptor agonist like Sumatriptan succinate (STS) is widely used. Its bioavailability is 15-17% due to extensive presystemic metabolism. The objective of this work was to prepare Sumatriptan succinate (STS) in a self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) and then convert it into solid-SNEDDS (S-SNEDDS) via extrusion/spheronization technique using Avicel pH 101, lactose monohydrate and Croscarmellose sodium. The component of SNEDDS was based on the solubility of STS in oily phases and surfactants. The screening of surfactants and cosurfactants were carried out in order to check its ability to emulsify the oily phase. Nanoemulsification area for the selected systems was identified by constructing the ternary phase diagrams. SNEP were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. SNEDDS composed of 30% Acrysol EL 135, 47% Tween 80 and 23% Capmul MCM C8. Its globule size was 98.4 nm, and zeta potential was -10.4 mV. S-SNEDDS possessed good mechanical strength and flow properties; angle of repose (25.79 ± 0.167), Hausner’s ratio (1.058 ± 0.03) and...

Canagliflozin is sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors work by inhibiting SGLT2 to prevent reabsorption of glucose and facilitate its excretion in urine. Impurities in pharmaceuticals which are unwanted chemicals that remain with the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), or develop during stability testing, or develop during formulation or upon aging of both API and formulation. The presence of these unwanted chemicals, even in small amounts, may influence the efficacy and safety of the pharmaceutical products. A simple and very sensitive method developed for estimation of impurities present in Canaglifozin formulation by Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method. A method is capable to detect impurities at very low level (0.1 µm/mL). Chromatographic separation of six different impurities was achieved on inertsil C8-3 (250 × 4.6) mm, 3 µm column using gradient elution...

Dieffenbachia amoena is a house plant and known dumb cane. The study was performed based on isolation and structure elucidation of phytosterols from the extract of this plant. The CH3OH crude extract was loaded over the silica gel (60-120 mesh) column, using the stepwise gradient C6H6, CH3OAc, CH3OH. The fractions were further purified by preparative TLC (GF254) to yield compound (1). Compound (1) was characterized by using various standard spectroscopic techniques such as IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, DEPT-135, COSY, HSQC and HMBC. Based on the spectral analysis, it was confirmed that the compound (1) was a mixture of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol. Phytosterols have high medicinal importance and play a vital role in reducing blood cholesterol, a high level of blood cholesterol can cause a risk of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the main problem of the whole world and increasing day by day. We have isolated β-sitosterol and stigmasterol first time from the leaves of the Dieffenbachia amoena...

The reason for this exploration was to develop gastro-retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) of loratadine (LTD) to lengthen the gastric residence time (GRT) by using different polymers like hydroxypropyl methyl celluloses (i.e., HPMC K4 M, HPMC K15 M, HPMCK 100 M), xanthan gum and other excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), magnesium stearate. All LTD floating formulations (F1-F18) prepared by the direct compression technique and evaluated. Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) studies showed that there are no drug excipient interactions. All LTD effervescent floating matrix tablets (F1-F18) were assessed for various pre-and post-compression parameters like weight variation (mg), hardness (kg/cm2), thickness (mm), friability (%), drug content (%), in-vitro buoyancy (h), in-vivo buoyancy (h) and in-vitro dissolution (%) and resulted found within pharmacopoeial limits. The drug release and floating property depended upon the polymer type as well as polymer proportions. The floating lag time (FLT) and total floating time (TFT) of all prepared formulations (F1-F18) showed less than 90 seconds and ≥12 hours, respectively. The cumulative percentage...
