The present work encompasses the development of two classical UV spectroscopy methods and an RP-HPLC method for the concurrent assessment of Halobetasol propionate and Mupirocin inculcating a statistical approach. The UV spectroscopy methods developed herein include absorption ratio method and first derivative spectroscopy method. The wavelength maxima selected for Absorption ratio method were 240 and 220 nm for Halobetasol Propionate and Mupirocin respectively. The zero crossing points selected were 240.626 nm and 220.180 nm for Halobetasol Propionate and Mupirocin respectively for first derivative spectroscopy. The chromatographic separation was achieved by using CHROMBUDGET C18 (250 × 4.6 mm) 5 µm column, mobile phase consisting of Acetonitrile: phosphate buffer (65:35 v/v, pH 3.2), at 1 ml/min flow rate and detection wavelength was 230 nm The retention time of Halobetasol propionate, and Mupirocin was found to be 8.647 ± 0.06 min and 3.357±0.123 min, respectively. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 5.125 – 5.75 µg/ml for Halobetasol propionate and 5-30 µg/ml for Mupirocin respectively. The analytical method was validated as...

Aim: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Udhampur, J & K population according to two different criteria’s (IDF & NCEP-ATP III). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted for the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among 210 participants. A pre-designed questionnaire was used to collect data, including demographic information; physical activity and biochemical parameters form their medical reports. Results: The study participants with a mean age of 55.79 yr consisted of 51.9% males and 48.09% females. Metabolic syndrome was seen in 46.67% and 35.24% subjects according to IDF and NCEP-ATP III criteria, respectively. The age-specific prevalence of metabolic syndrome was observed higher in the older group. Conclusion: It can be improved by encouraging the patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle with the intervention of regular physical activity and dietary...

The present work deals with a novel synthesis of AgF/Ag2WO4 nanocomposite by co-precipitation method. The morphology and size of the synthesized AgF/Ag2WO4 nanocomposite were confirmed by Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Transition Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses. The performance of the nanocomposite was successfully evaluated for Cr6+ detection in a gelatin capsule, which indicated that this convenient and sensitive material offered great promise for onsite environmental monitoring of Cr6+. Control experiments with the addition of over 10 other metal ions (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Hg2+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Zn2+) did not result in a distinct change in the colour or in the spectrum of the suspension which indicated that these ions did not interfere in the colorimetric determination of Cr6+ in gelatin capsule. The detection concentration of Cr (VI) ranged from 0.5 mg to 1.0 mg, and the detection limit was 2...

In continuation of our efforts in the development of novel drugs, in the present article we have described synthesis of a series of novel azetidinones derivatives (4a-i) containing 5-(benzofuran-2-yl) and 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide moiety, with excellent yields and without formation of undesirable side products from cyclo condensation reaction of N’- (benzylidene) -5- (benzofuran- 2- yl) -1 -phenyl -1H -pyrazole- 3-carbohydrazide derivatives (3a-i) with chloro acetyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine in DMF. Carbohydrazones of aryl aldehydes (3a-i) used as the starting compound was obtained by one-pot condensation of 5-(benzofuran-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbohydrazide (1) with various substituted aromatic aldehydes (2a-i) and a catalytic amount of acetic acid in ethanol. The structures of newly synthesized compounds have been established through elemental analysis and spectral studies like IR, 1H NMR, 13C-NMR and Mass spectra. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in-vitro antibacterial activity against different strains of microbes such as S. aureus, E. coli, P. vulgaris and S. typhi at different concentration. The result of the bioactivity confirmed that most of the newly synthesized...

Standardization can create trust and confidence in the products and increase market relevance. It is an essential requirement for the open exchange of information; without it, the network will simply not work. The practitioner, as well as the consumer, now seeks assurance from the manufacturer about the quality, safety, and efficacy of a readymade Herbal supplement or Ayurvedic formulations. An average person’s diet, lifestyle and other social habits, all who play important roles in disease and treatment, are completely different today. Hence, the earlier recommendations for herbs for specific disease states may not hold today unless validated in today’s times. Phenotypic changes in plant species. Hence the original pharmacological claims of these formulations need to be revalidated. Pharmaceutical research is aimed at meeting the medical needs of the population for whom appropriate therapeutic remedies are not available or at those that are available are unsafe for prophylactic use for various disorders. While meeting medical needs, research also has to ensure that the market needs for such exist. Vranropantaila is...
