The objective of the present study was to formulate and evaluate a gastro-retentive stomach specific novel floating in-situ gelling system of curcumin for potentially treating gastric ulcer, associated with Helicobacter pylori. The in-situ gel of curcumin was prepared by dissolving different concentrations of gelling polymer like sodium alginate in distilled water at 60 ºC. After cooling to 40 ºC, required quantities of sodium citrate and calcium carbonate were dispersed in it with continuous stirring followed by the addition of curcumin and sorbitol. Identification of drug was confirmed by DSC (melting point study), FTIR (functional groups study), and UV spectrophotometric analysis. Compatibility between drug and polymer were confirmed by DSC and FTIR studies. The micromeritic properties of curcumin were done, and all formulations showed pH in the range of 6.6 to 7.4, floating lag time was less than 1 min, duration of floating was more than 24 h for all the prepared formulations. Gelling capacity, gel strength, viscosity, and water uptake by the gel increased with the increase in sodium...

The objective of the present study was to develop and validate a novel RP-HPLC method for the determination of Dasatinib in the pharmaceutical dosage form. Chromatographic separation was conducted on agilent technologies-1260 series with the G1311C quaternary pump, Thermo Scientific C18 column (4.6 mm i.d. × 250 mm, 5 µm particle size) and equipped with photodiode array detector G1315D. The mobile phase consisted of methanol and acetonitrile mixed in the ratio of 50:50 v/v, was used at a flow rate of 1 ml/min, and the detection wavelength was set at 323 nm. The retention time for Dasatinib was found to be 4.073 min. The calibration was linear (r2 = 0.999) in the concentration range of 2-10 µg/ml. The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation were found to be 0.5263 μg/ml and 1.5948 µg/ml, respectively. Recovery of Dasatinib in tablet formulation was observed in the range of 98.09-99.57%. Percentage assay of Dasatinib (Dasanat) was found to be 99.45% w/w. Thus the novel proposed method for Dasatinib was found...

Psoriasis is autoimmune, hyperproliferative skin disease, which is affecting 2-5% of the population. Etiology of psoriasis is multi-factorial. The disease is identified as periodic recycle of events with red-scaly skin plaques. The epidemiology of Psoriasis is still unknown. From medication, this disease can only be prevented. Currently, there are many approaches to cure this disease, but still, no approach has completely cured the illness. New treatments are available for psoriasis, which are derived from biotechnology; they are known as biological drugs. The discovery of these new drugs derived from biotechnology prevents the activation of T-cells and targets cytokines. These drugs are less toxic and better functional, so patients, as well as a dermatologist, prefer the use of these biological drugs for the treatment of psoriasis over topical therapy, phototherapy, and systemic therapy. This review gives a detailed explanation of current therapies for the treatment of psoriasis and challenges associated along with...

The elected work reports for the first time successfully synthesized nanosilver from the aqueous leaf extract of the Carchorus hirsutus plant. Because the phytochemicals within the leaf extract were creditworthy for the reduction of silver ions as the active nanosilver particles, in addition to this, they act as the capping agents who had been environed at the surface of the particles. UV-Vis spectroscopy oversaw the establishment of nanosilver as an appropriate peak detected at 412 nm of surface plasmon resonance has affirmed the colloidal nanosilver. The peaks of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy had proved to be phytochemicals responsible for the reduction of nanosilver. The crystalline structure and average diameter found to be 29 nm of the phytosynthesized nanosilver particles were found out using X-ray diffraction studies. The Scanning Electron Microscopy images were rendered the aggregated, semi-spherical to spherical silver nanocrystals. The elemental signals of energy dispersive X-ray spectrum substantiate the presence of silver detail as silver weight % is 86.84 and atomic % is 68.45. The atomic force microscope...

The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate thermo-sensitive in-situ implant forming injectable organogel systems of diclofenac sodium for prolonged drug effects. The formulations were prepared by separately dissolving fatty acids such as arachidic acid, stearic acid or palmitic acid in injectable soybean oil. The organogels were evaluated for physicochemical parameters as well as for in-vitro, ex-vivo release and in-vivo fluorescence imaging. All the formulations showed gelation temperature and gelation time in the range of 36.6 to 37.1 ºC and 38 to 61 sec respectively. The pH of the formulation was found to be in the range of 6.67 to 7.14. All the formulations appeared opaque, off white and free from aggregates during the study and passed the test for syringeability and injectability. The drug content of the formulations was found in the range of 89.5 to 93.5 percent. The in-vitro drug release study showed that the release followed zero-order kinetics and ex-vivo drug release was slower when compared to in-vitro drug release. In-vivo fluorescence imaging...
