The present developed method was designed to fabricate an innovative, simple, cost-effective, and compatible method for controlled delivery of Metformin hydrochloride (MF) by the use of natural and synthetic polymers for comparative analysis. For the most commonly used anti-diabetic drug Metformin hydrochloride, we have tried to formulate microspheres by incorporating natural and synthetic polymers separately in order to identify the most appropriate and safe type of controlled drug delivery system. All the fabricated microspheres formulations were characterized for various evaluating parameters like percentage yield, particle size analysis, micromeretic study, entrapment efficiency of drug, in-vitro drug release, FTIR study, XRD analysis, and quantitative analysis of most optimized formulation by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The formulations from F1to F5 were prepared by using natural polymer sodium alginate, by ion- gelation technique, and the formulation code from F6 to F10 represents microspheres formulated by using synthetic polymer by emulsion-solvent evaporation technique. It was observed that all prepared formulations showed improved flow behavior than a pure drug; on increasing the polymer...

Background: In honor of a dutch botanist, Abraham Munting, the tree was named Muntigia calabura L. The Jamaica cherry, M. calabura is a shrub or tree which is native to Jamaica, Brazil, Mexico, and North America. M. calabura is a well-known, fast-growing tree clasped with different medicinal and health benefits. Different parts of the tree are being used for various ailments in different parts of the world. Objective: To summarize updated information regarding the pharmacological activities of Muntingia calabura L. Materials and Method: Few databases like Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Pub Med were used for the literature survey. Google and Bing search also carried out using the common and scientific names of the plant as keywords. For reviewing, articles that are related to ecology and agriculture are excluded. And articles that were not in the English language were also excluded. Results: Above mentioned search engines yielded 47 articles. Among them, 17 articles which were published between 2015 and 2019 were selected for inclusion in this review. From the...

Background: Diabetic postmenopausal women and osteoporosis are both chronic conditions and the relationship between them are complex. Objective: The aims of this study were to assess the socio-demographic factors inflicted in Diabetic postmenopausal women with Osteoporosis condition. Method: A Prospective, comparative and interventional study with a convenient sample of 520 Diabetic postmenopausal subjects were recruited from both inpatient and outpatient: Orthopedic, General Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology departments in Malla Reddy Hospital, measuring Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the heel bone using QUS. In addition, tabulated self – reported data forms, about the socio-demographic details of subjects were collected. Results: The QUS measurements at the culmination of the study deduced that 520 Diabetic postmenopausal women posed a high risk of anomalous BMD were 17% (n=89), whereas Low risk of anomalous BMD accounted for 61% (n=317) and No risk accounted for 22% (n=114), out of validated subjects. The socio-demographic and osteoporotic conditions were illustrated. There were significant differences in QUS-score (normal BMD, Osteopenia and osteoporosis) patient demographic details like current...

Zinc Ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by chemical co-precipitation method, using PEG as the capping agent. The synthesized materials were annealed at different temperatures such as 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 °C and the structural characterization studies were conducted by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), UV-Visible Spectro-scopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). On heat treatment of the as prepared samples, crystallite size was observed to increase from 5 nm-22 nm. XRD pattern confirmed the single crystalline phase of developed particles. It was observed that the particle size and X-ray density of the annealed ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles linearly increased with increase in annealing temperature and decrease in lattice parameters. The calculated micro strain values were found to be decreasing with increasing annealing temperatures. The nanoparticle size was confirmed using SEM measurements. Furthermore FTIR mapping confirmed the presence of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles. The calculated band gap (Eg) of zinc ferrite nanoparticles decreases with increase in temperature. The antibacterial activity of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles was studied against gram negative E-coli...

Lansoprazole and Domperidone, used as Proton pump inhibitor and antiemetic agents, especially for disease related to gastric ulcer. The purpose of the research was to improve aqueous solubility of drugs by β-CD using a different method, and perform phase solubility study of both drugs using β-CD and calculate Ks, and ∆Gt. Prepare Complex of LAN and DOM with β-CD using different methods like physical mixture, kneading and co evaporation. Complexes were evaluated for drug content. Based on characterization and dissolution study, kneading method based complex was optimized and tablet prepared using different superdisintegrants like Sodium Starch Glycolate, Cross Povidone, Cross Carmellose Sodium as a synthetic super disintegrating agent and Isphagula, Banana powder and Mango powder as a natural super disintegrating agent. Prepared tablets were evaluated for pre-compression and post-compression parameters such as hardness, friability, disintegration time, wetting time, dissolution study and accelerated stability study. Prepared tablets loaded with complex were compared with a marketed tablet for dissolution study. Optimized complex molar ratios for both drugs were 3:1 and have...
