The present study aimed to develop and validate stability indicating method for the simultaneous determination of Elbasvir and Grazoprevir in its pharmaceutical dosage form using RP-HPLC. Chromatographic separation was done with Discovery C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µ) column using 0.1% ortho-phosphoric acid (OPA) and acetonitrile in the ratio 50:50% v/v as mobile phase on isocratic mode. The column oven temperature was maintained at 30 ºC with a flow rate 1.0 ml/min and components were detected at a wavelength of 315 nm. The retention times for Elbasvir and Grazoprevir was found to be 2.24 min and 3.21 min respectively. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines. A good linearity response was observed in the concentration range of 12.5 µg/ml – 75 µg/ml for Elbasvir and 25 µg/ml – 150 µg/ml for Grazoprevir with correlation coefficient of 0.999 for both the drugs. The method was found to be accurate, precise, specific, rugged and robust. The drugs were subjected to stress conditions for testing their stability and...

Diabetes is one of the deadliest and non-contagious diseases that can adversely affect several parts of human body. Early prognosis of diabetes can inkling the grievous complications and help to save human life. Several researchers have used different data mining (Iterative Dichotomiser 3, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, k-Nearest Neighbour, C4.5) and soft computing (Genetic Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization, Particle Swarm optimization, Artificial Bee Colony) techniques to prospect diabetes in human beings. In last 10 years, C4.5 was the most preferred choice for mining diabetic patients. Likewise, in soft computing, maximum number of researchers have used genetic algorithm. Furthermore, the usage of pre-processing techniques is significantly increasing in diabetes diagnosis. It is also observed that rate of accuracy achieved in diagnosing diabetes using traditional data mining lies in 68.5% – 95.3%. Likewise, the range for soft computing and their hybridized use lies in 74% – 100%. In addition, rate of accuracy achieved using GA based hybridized approach is better than the accuracy obtained using PSO as well as ABC....

ABSTRACT: Background: Postoperative pain control is an important part of effective postoperative care. However, 30 – 80% of postoperative patients complain about moderate to severe post-surgical pain as a result of the surgical procedure or a pre-existing disease. Aim: To assess the safety and efficacy of different modalities of postoperative pain management in post surgical wards of a tertiary care hospital. Method: It’s a prospective study was conducted in 213 patients of either gender, aged between 18 – 65 years. Patients were followed up from surgery till discharge or till the 4th postoperative day, the drugs given for pain relief both as single drug and combination drugs and adverse effects were monitored. The severity of pain was assessed using a numeric pain rating scale after 1 h of surgery, then followed by 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 96 h. Patient satisfaction with the analgesic therapy given was recorded at the time of discharge or after 4th postoperative day using 5 point...

Background: It becomes clear that living processes were based on the action of enzymes. Cell immobilization serves as a useful tool for the immobilization of intracellular enzymes. The purpose of study is to improve economically important processes by attaching the yeast cells to matrices. Methods: In this analytical study by using mixed models of matrices like (sodium alginate alone, sodium alginate and gelatin, sodium alginate and agar, sodium alginate and glutaraldehyde) to determine the effective combination for immobilizing cells without any damage. Results: It was noted that the glucose content in both cells increased which indicates the production of carbon dioxide and alcohol and then the values started falling down this is because the osmotic concentration of the sugar gets so great that the yeast is unable to get enough water for growth. Conclusion: Glucose utilization was analyzed in free and immobilized cells on four different matrices for verifying their performance and the improvement of immobilized yeast cells over free yeast cells. Use of mixed matrices enhanced the biological...

Lannea coromandelica is one of the important herbal plants well distributed in India. It is commonly called as Odiar, Gumphini in South India. It was extensively used by the tribes all over India to treat various diseases such as body pain, tooth ache, stomach ache, ulcers, sexual impotency. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the GC-MS analysis, antibacterial and anticancer activities of methanol bark extract of L. coromandelica. The methanol extract was subjected to GC-MS analysis to find out active volatile and semi-volatile compounds. The antibacterial activity was carried out by well diffusion method by using nutrient broth agar medium. Microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococscus aureus, and Bascilus subtilis were used to evaluate antibacterial activity. The maximum zone of inhibition 21 mm was measured for Bascilus subtilis at 500 µg/mL concentration followed by Staphylococscus aureus was 19 mm and Escherichia coli was 18 mm. The anticancer activity was carried out by MTT assay method for MCF7 cell line. The maximum cell death was 74.20 ±...
