Microsphere drug delivery is a novel drug delivery approach for sustaining and controlling the rate and release of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Microspheres are the choice of drug delivery for delivering the drug at a specific site to release the encapsulated drug to treat various diseases. Microspheres drug delivery is an attractive dosage form in terms of its flexibility and sustaining the release as compared to other sustained and controlled formulations. Most of the antihyperlipidemic drugs come under BCS class-II, which leads to poor solubility but higher permeability, the oral bioavailability of statins categories drug possess less bioavailability due to the poor solubility; hence microspheres are the best candidate for delivering antihyperlipidemic drugs to the systemic circulation and improving the systemic bioavailability of drug for a longer period with lesser adverse effects. Therefore microspheres can be used in various medical departments like oncology, gynecology, radiology, pulmonary, cardiology, diabetes, vaccine therapy, etc. this review article focuses on recent different methods of preparation. The microspheres formulated can be later evaluated and characterized...

A novel series 3(a–d) 1-(4-benzhydryl piperazin-1-yl)-3-(di substituted) propan-1-one &1-(4-benzhydrylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-(piperidin-1-yl) propan-1-one (3e) & 1-(4-benzhydrylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-one (3f) compounds have been synthesized and screened for its anticonvulsant and neurotoxic activity, After i.p. injection to rat at doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg body weight. Synthesized compounds were examined in the maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES). Spectroscopic data were consistent with the structure of newly synthesized compounds. The neurotoxicity was assessed using the rotarod method. In the prepared series, 3f was found to be active in the MES screen at 0.5 h, and 4...

Leucas aspera species, auspicious in many cultures worldwide, are sources of novel bioactive secondary metabolites. The mechanism by which they exhibit therapeutic potential via antioxidant, antimicrobial and apoptotic properties is scant. The main objective of the current study was to evaluate the properties of activity-guided fractionated root methanol extract. As the methanol extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, it was evaluated for secondary metabolites and therapeutic properties UPLC-MS analysis of the extract identified the 15 and five secondary metabolites including oleanolic acid, 6-C-glucosyl- 8- C- arabinosylapigenin, 6- C-arabinosyl 8- C-glycosylapigenin, neohesperidin and beta-sitosterol were reported. Anti-bacterial activity by disc diffusion inhibited human pathogenic bacteria. Bacterial bio-film inhibition capacity of extract (750 µg) imaged by Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed loss of microcolonies. Further, it quenched free radicals produced by Fentons’ reagent studied by DNS-nicking assay, indicating its strong antioxidant property. The MTT assay results identified maximum cell death for human breast cancer cells, MCF-7 (EC50, 60.31±2.71 mg/mL-1). CLSM visualized a clear indication of apoptosis via chromatin condensation. The presence...

Glinus oppositifolius (Linn) is a branched herb containing linear to obovate, opposite leaves with greenish flowers, and it belongs to the molluginaceae family. This bitter leafy vegetable is known as gima shak in West Bengal, Assam & Bangladesh. This leaf contains various bioactive components which provide protection against diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, joint pain, inflammation, diarrhea, skin disorder, etc. Previous nutritional analysis in our laboratory found that the iron content of these gima leaves is high. A randomized study was conducted among poor adult subjects who are socio-economically backward and have no chronic diseases. 18-65yrs aged people were randomly selected from slum areas of Kolkata. Among them, Fifty-Five samples consumed 50 gm boiled gima paste as supplementation for 45 days. Data on their dietary habits, anthropometry, medication habits, and haematological parameters were analyzed. Supplementation of gima revealed that there is70%&64% increase in haemoglobin among men and women respectively, whereas females of 40-60 years showed more positive changes than men. After supplementation of gima, the iron storage i.e. ferritin level, showed a 76% and 66.6% increase in...

Background: Covid-19 has become a global threat. All most all the countries are facing this pandemic. This pandemic has greatly affected the medical education and medical students who are tomorrow’s doctors. So, they need to have a wide awareness regarding the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards this Covid-19 infection. Objective: To study the knowledge, attitude, and practice of medical students regarding the Covid–19 pandemic. Material and Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 260 medical students of J.L.N. Medical College, Ajmer (Rajasthan). A total of 20 questionnaires in which, 10 in the knowledge section, 5 each in the attitude and practice section, were provided in July – August, 2021. Results: A total of 260 responses were collected and studied. The male to female ratio in the study population was 0.91. A total of 54.46% of students gave correct responses regarding the knowledge section. 87.31% of students show a positive attitude towards vaccination. Overall positivity regarding attitude was 76.61%. 95 % of Students were proactive regarding washing their...
