Coumarin segment have been reported broad spectrum of different biological activities with the oxazine derivatives. In view that we have synthesized newer coumarin clubbed 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-substituted phenyl-2H-1,3-oxazin-2-amine and screened for their biological studies. 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-substituted phenyl-2H-1,3-oxazin-2-amine IIa-j condensed with 4-Methyl-6-nitro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl chloro acetate 5 to afford 4-Methyl-6-nitro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl-2-(4-(4-sustitutedphenyl) oxazine – 2- yl – amino) acetates 2a-j. The newer compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectral studies and were screened for their antimicrobial, antitubercular and antioxidant activities. Compound 2a (-C6H5) 62.5 µg/ml, 2d (2-OH) 100 µg/ml against S. aureus, 2a (-C6H5) 50 µg/ml, 2f (4-F) and 2j (3-OPh) 100 µg/ml against S. pyogenes as compared to chloramphenicol and the other compound 2c (4-Cl) showed excellent potency 25 µg/ml against E. coli and 12.5 µg/ml against P. aeruginosa while compound 2e (4-OH) exhibited comparable activity of 62.5 µg/ml and 100 µg/ml against E. coli and P. areuginosa respectively. Furthermore 2i (3-Br) also showed 100 µg/ml moderate potency against E. coli compared to the standard drugs chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin. The study of antifungal activity...

By considering the current regulatory requirement for an analytical method development, a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for routine analysis of cobicistat has been developed using analytical Quality by design approach. The optimized method was achieved using unisol C-18 (3 μm, 4.6 ×150 mm) column with mobile phase consisting of mixture of water and methanol (70: 30 v/v) with a flow rate of 1ml/min at 240 nm. The optimized method was then validated according to the ICH guidelines. The developed method was found linear over the concentration range of 10-80 μg/ml and the detection and quantitation limit was found to be 0.39μg/ml and 1.2μg/ml. There are no interfering peaks under performed degradation conditions. Therefore, a sensitive, robust, accurate and stability indicating method was developed with high degree of practical...

Renal stones disease is the most common disease of the urinary tract affecting about 10% of the global population. Renal stone disease is a common disorder that develops when the urine becomes overly saturated with certain microscopic substances that bind into hardened mineral deposits known as renal stones. The objective of our current study is to evaluate the total organic acids of urine of calcium oxalate stone formers and compare it with that of non stone formers, to investigate whether the difference between the property studied in two groups really exists or not. The study was conducted on 50 patients divided into two groups- Group I consist of 25 idiopathic patients having calcium oxalate renal stone i.e. stone formers (SF) and Group II consists of 25 controls i.e. non stone formers (NSF) having no clinical evidence of renal stones. Each patient and control collected a 24 h urine, which was kept unrefrigerated, using thymol as preservative. It was found from our studies that evaluation of Total organic acids can...

The mineral Srotonjana (antimony sulfide) is being used by Indians since ancient times. In Ayurvedic texts, it has been directed that Srotonjana should be used only after shodhana. Shodhana is a process to remove the unwanted physical, chemical impurities and toxic material and makes it suitable for medicinal use. Metallography is an advanced scientific study which is used in the study of the microstructure and identification of the parent metal particles along with the nature of compound formed during the shodhana. The difficulty of low solubility and less dissolution rate of metal and minerals has received broad academic and industrial awareness. So the aim of present study was to generate metallographic and solubility in the different solvent study as a tool (fingerprint) for ashodhita and shodhita Srotonjana for quality assessment and standardization. In the present study, Srotonjana was shodhit by seven bhavana (levigation) with bhringraj swaras and with triphala kwath. The finding results revealed that after shodhana Srotonjana broke into smaller particles and became homogeneous in both shodhit the...

Helminthiasis is also known as worm infection and a endoparasitic disease of humans and other animals in which a part of a body is infected with parasitic worms. Tinospora cordifolia is a well known medicinal plant and widely used in folk medicine ayurvedic system. The objective of this work is to carry out phytochemical screening and in vitro anthelmintic activity of methanolic, petroleum ether and ethylene glycol extracts of leaves of Tinospora cordifolia (Menispermaceae) against Indian earthworm, Pheretima posthuma. Various concentrations (2.5, 5, 10, 20 mg/ml) of the extracts were tested, which involved determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms using Albendazole (10 mg/ml) as standard drug and normal saline as control. The methanolic extract exhibited a maximum anthelmintic activity than the other two extracts. The extract showed anthelmintic activity in dose dependant manner giving shortest time of paralysis (P) and death (D) with 20mg/ml concentration and caused paralysis in 4 min and death in 10 min respectively. The Preliminary phytochemical analysis indicated the...
