Current analytical research and experiments provide the development of a simple, sensitive, accurate, rapid, and stability indicative RP-UPLC method for estimation of Levocetirizine in Levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets. This development was achieved using a Waters Acquity UPLC with BEH, C18 column of dimensions of 100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm column at 0.3 mL/min flow rate and Acquity TUV detector at 230 nm. This method was validated based on the guidelines of the International Council on Harmonization (ICH). Linearity was demonstrated at 25% to 150% levels with R2 value of 0.999. Precision and accuracy were in line with the ICH guidance with a mean recovery of 99.02%. The RP-UPLC method is sensitive with levels of Limit of detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) at 0.04µg/mL and 0.12µg/mL, respectively. Degradation studies in conditions of Oxidation, Acid, Base, Temperature, Water, UV light demonstrate there is no placebo as well as degradation impurities interfering with the Levocetirizine main peak. The simple, sensitive, accurate, rapid, and stability-indicating method makes it an efficient...

Pollution and overgrowing populations cause many problems such as environmental degradation, climate change, disease, etc. Among all the problems, the disease is an important factor that may affect the normal day-to-day activities of human beings, and it may be fatal sometime. Hence many researchers, government and private sectors are involved in the process of formulating new drugs to the existing diseases. Western medicine is the widely accepted way of medical practice which is adopted by many countries. But unfortunately, sometimes Western medicine is not applicable for certain people due to their allergic nature, cost and unavailability, etc. Hence peoples search for alternate medicine to cure their ailments. Siddha System of Medicine (SSM) is one of the widely accepted ways of alternate medicine practiced in India’s southern region. This Siddha medicine is widely used to treat various dangerous diseases like cancer, liver disease, viral diseases, etc. Liver disease is common in developing countries like India. The Thiratchai kudineer is a polyherbal formulation used to treat various liver diseases. Thus, this...

Multi particulate systems are of greater importance than the single unit dosage forms in oral drug delivery. Floating micro balloons are among the best methods to increase gastric retention among all the multi particulate drug delivery systems. They offer more reproducible drug absorption, reduce the risk of local irritation and improve the bioavailability of the drug. In the current research work, clopidogrel, a BCS class – II drug, was formulated as controlled release micro balloons using ethyl cellulose as polymer and span 80 as the surfactant. The pre-formulation studies viz. solubility, partition coefficient, micromeritics were carried for the Clopidogrel bisulphate pure drug, and the drug excipient compatibility studies were carried using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer and Differential Scanning Calorimeter. Different formulations of floating micro balloons were prepared by solvent evaporation method by altering five process and formulation factors viz. concentration of surfactant, the volume of solvent, volume of internal phase, the concentration of polymer, speed of rotation. All the Clopidogrel micro balloons were subjected to in-vitro drug release and...

Amantadine hydrochloride (1) is an antiviral drug currently used to treat certain influenza infections (type A). It is also used as an anti-dyskinetic agent to treat Parkinson’s disease. Several methods for the preparation of amantadine hydrochloride (1) were reported, these procedures started from adamantane (2), using procedure four reaction steps to obtain amantadine hydrochloride with an overall yield of 46-58%. In this article, we present a convenient two-step procedure for the synthesis of 1 from 1-bromoadamantane (3) and acetylamide in the presence of sulfuric acid via N-(1-adamantyl) acetamide (4) in one-pot with an overall yield of 74%. The procedure was also optimized to reduce the use of toxic reagents and solvents to make it to safer and more environmentally friendly. The procedure can be considered as more suitable for large-scale production of amantadine hydrochloride. The structure of the obtained amantadine hydrochloride was confirmed by MS, IR, 1H-NMR and...

Paramphistomiasis is the major problems in the yield of goat and human health. This disease causes loss of life of goat, reduce meat and milk production. The medicinal plant Capparis decidua has been used in the treatment of asthma, cough and inflammation. This plant also shows anthelmintic activity. Live amphistome Gastrothylax crumenifer were collected from the rumen of the freshly slaughtered goats at local meat market of Chittorgarh. Amphistomes Gastrothylax crumenifer was maintained in 0.9% physiological saline and divided into four groups; first group used for identification, second group as control or untreated, third group for treatment with Capparis decidua and fourth group for treatment with synthetic drug albendazole. The histological study of treated and control tegument of Gastrothylax crumenifer was observed by light microscopy. Extract of Capparis decidua caused many topographical changes in Gastrothylax crumenifer like discontinuation, distortion, peeling and damaging cells, vacuolization and deformation in the muscles fiber, found blebblings in tegument. Albendazole is less effective than alcoholic extract of Capparis decidua (Kair). This study suggests the...
