The indigenous and traditional health care system based on the rich diversity of plants associated knowledge serves more than 70% of the Indian population. More than 7500 species of plants have been used in Indian medical traditions and over 2700 documented species of plants are used in classical medical systems of Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha. About 1800 plants are documented in various Ayurvedic tenets, about 400 in Unani and approximately 500 in the Siddha system. What is of more interest in almost every tribe or forest based community is the existence of impressive localized knowledge and practices of plant based ethno-medicine. Western Himalayas are a source of almost fifty percent of medicinal plants used in Ayurvedic, Unani and allopathic systems but there has been little concerned effort towards their indigenous cultivation. Of 2500 such plants grown in wild only 300 species are currently used by 8000 licensed drug manufacturing units. As an integral part of western Himalayas the State of Jammu and Kashmir is known for its beauty and...

Agriculture forms a vital part of India’s economy. More than 50% of India’s population is dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. In India, many crops are cultivated, out of which wheat is one of the most important food grains that this country cultivates and exports. Thus it can be seen that wheat forms a major part of the Indian agricultural system and India’s economy. Hence, the maintenance of the steady production of the above-stated crop is very important. The main idea of this project is to provide a novel approach based on a deformable model is proposed to handle the segmentation of the system for detecting crop diseases. The existing system is based on the segmentation method simple linear iterative clustering to detect disease in plant leaves. It also shows visual attributes such as color, gradient, texture, and shape to describe the features of leaves. The proposed system will define the cropped image of a wheat plant through image processing and feature extraction algorithms. The RGB color space is...

In recent times, the use of herbal products has increased tremendously in the developing as well as in developed countries. Bacopa monnieri is one of the most important medicinal plant that has been consumed for thousands of year as a memory enhancing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, sedative and anti-epileptic agent. For many years, a lot of commercial and medicinal researches have been focusing their resources on this plant. The plant has been known to possess various activities such as, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-depressant, anti-epileptic, memory enhancer, anti-ulcer, hepatoprotective, analgesic, anti-diarrheal, anti-hypertensive, anti-toxicity etc. Therefore step should be taken for its sustainable use and conservation. This review describes the phytoconstituents, traditional uses, and pharmacological activities of Bacopa monnieri. In brief, the biotechnological applications such as tissue culture, elicitation, genetic transformation for the advancement of this plant and its active components production have also been...

Childhood is characterized by periods of rapid growth, maturation, and development. There is a change in the magnitude of the dose required during childhood and adolescence. Thus, Paediatric practice requires a range of dosage forms that are acceptable at different ages and abilities and a range of strengths or concentrations allowing administration of the correct age-related dose. Literature shows that a significant percentage of products suitable for children have inadequate dosing information and the products licensed for children, dosage forms are unsuitable for the intended ages. The development of multiple dosage forms for different ages will rarely be commercially viable and liquid formulations, which can be given to a broad age group, present particular pharmaceutical challenges. However, if there is the commercial incentive of a large market for common illness such as pain or vomiting a complete and varied portfolio of products can be made available. Dispersible drug delivery treatment is one of the breakthroughs that modify the conventional dosage forms (swallowing and chewing) for infants and children. In...

QbD decrees the definition of a goal for the method and accentuates thorough evaluation and scouting of alternative methods systematically to obtain ideal method performance. QbD tools like risk assessment and design of the experiment, empowers better quality to be instilled into the analytical method and facilitate prior understanding and identification of variables affecting the method performance. Analytical quality by design (AQbD) permits the analytical method for movement within a method operable design region. Unlike current methods, analytical method development using AQbD approaches diminishes the number of out of trend results and out of specification results due to the robustness of the method. It is a current inclination among pharmaceutical industry to implement AQbD in method development processes as a part of risk management, pharmaceutical development and pharmaceutical quality systems (ICHQ10). It owes to the lack of explanatory reviews. The objective of this review article is to provide a comprehensive understanding of various aspect of...
