2023-04-07T16:41:18+00:00

A new simple, selective, rapid, precise and accurate reverse phase HPLC method has been developed for simultaneous estimation of granisetron and dexamethasone. The method was developed using CPS Hypersil CN column (250×4.6 mm I.D.) with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile:buffer (100 mM Triethylamine adjusted to pH 3.0 with o-phosphoric acid) in ratio of 25:75 at a flow rate of 2 ml/min. Detection was carried out at 242 nm. The developed method was evaluated for various system suitability parameters and validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ as per ICH guidelines. It was also evaluated for bench top stability and freeze/thaw stability. The proposed method can be used for the estimation of these drugs in their combined dosage forms.

Ffect Of Pancha Tulsi Against Phomphosis Azadirachtae - The Causative Agent Of Die-Back Disease

2023-04-19T01:51:09+00:00

Neem (Azadirachta indica) commonly known as ‘Indian lilac’ or ‘Margosa’, is a native tree to India. Neem finds very wide application and both wood as well as non-wood products are utilized in many ways. Neem products have antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal and other versatile biological activities¹. However, neem is not free from microbial diseases though having biological activity against various microorganisms. Many bacteria and fungi are known to infect neem¹. A new fungus Phomopsis azadirachtae was reported on neem causing dieback. The fungus infects the neem trees of all age and size. Twigs blight and fruit rot of Azadirachta indica (Neem) infected with dieback disease², collected from different regions of Medchal, Malkajgiri district, India were analysed to determine the pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of Pancha tulasi essential oil on the growth of Phomopsis azadirachtae isolated from die-back infected neem twigs and fruit rot. The fungus affects leaves, twigs and inflorescence, irrespective of age, size and height of the tree. Apart from fruit rot, it causes twigs blight in neem. Study reveals the control the ’Die-back’ disease is to mix one gram of ‘Bavistin’ powder in seven/eight litres of water. This could be sprayed on the neem trees after the rainy season. After treating with chemical agents such as Thiophanate (ROKO), Profenofos (Profex) is an organophosphate insecticide, we started spraying Pancha tulasi (aromatic oils)- 5 ml in 10 litres of water for the 7 days to sustain the recovery. The disease results in almost 100% loss of fruit production.

DNA programming in drug discovery and drug development

2023-04-29T13:38:36+00:00

Important traits that biological cells have that make them appealing for many applications are energy efficiency, self-reproduction, and small size. Examples include the incorporation of intelligence into smart materials, sensing, and nanoscale manufacturing. Simple "genetic circuits" that are encoded in DNA and carry out their functions in the cellular environment have been developed over the past 15 years. A gene circuit uses biological interactions to provide computation, similar to an electronic circuit. Simulators that replicate cell colonies running microbial programmes have been developed at the protein and language levels.

2023-05-03T14:25:06+00:00

Simple, Precise, rapid and accurate methods were developed for the estimation of Pantoprazole in bulk and in dosage form. The methods are UV Spectroscopic method, Visible Spectroscopic method & RP-HPLC method. The λmax of of PNP was found to be 290nm in methanol. The bulk drug PNP obeyed Beer’s law at 5-30µg / ml. The correlation coefficient was found to be 1 for both the drugs. The dosage form of the drugs was quantified by the following three methods. Method A involves standard absorbance method. The RSD proves there producibility of the method and thus the precision of the developed method. Method B involves determination of AUC for both standard and sample spectra obtained in Method A between two selected wavelength. The correlation coefficient was found to be 0.9990 for PNP. The recovery percentage was found to be 98 to102% which proves no interference by the sample matrix. Method C involves the derivatisation of the zero order spectra to second order spectra. The recovery spectra were also derivatized and used. All the methods have shown good linearity, precision and accuracy. The low % RSD values in recovery studies for all the above methods indicate that there is no interference due to excipients used in the formulations. Hence it is concluded that the developed UV – Visible and RP-HPLC methods were found to be simple, precise, accurate and rapid methods for the analysis of Pantoprazole in its pure form and in its pharmaceutical dosage formulation. Thus, all the above adopted methods can be effectively used for the routine analysis of Pantoprazole in pharmaceutical dosage form.

2023-05-13T10:06:23+00:00

The purpose of this research was to develop a matrix-type transdermal therapeutic system containing drug Nifedipine with different ratios of polymeric systems by the Solvent evaporation technique by using Dibutyl phthalate to the polymer weight, incorporated as plasticizer. Glycerol was used to enhance the transdermal permeation of Nifedipine.The physicochemical compatibility of the drug and the polymers studied by infrared spectroscopy suggested absence of any incompatibility. Formulated transdermal patches were physically evaluated with regard to thickness, weight variation, drug content, flatness, tensile strength and folding endurance. In-vitro drug studies of formulations were performed by using Franz diffusion cells. The results followed the release profile of Nifedipine followed mixed peppas release kinetics. However, the release profile of the optimized formulation F6 (98.87% at 12hr) indicated that the permeation of the drug from the patches was governed by a diffusion mechanism.

Matrix type systems were developed in the present study. In the present work, an attempt has been made to develop a matrix-type transdermal therapeutic system comprising of Atenolol with different concentration of various polymers alone using solvent evaporation technique. The physicochemical compatibility of the drug and the polymers was studied by infrared spectroscopy. The results obtained showed no physical-chemical incompatibility between the drug and the polymers. F1formulation has been selected as the best formulation among all the other formulations. The in vitro drug diffusion studies from the formulation were found to be sustained release. All the evaluation parameters obtained from the best formulation were found to be satisfactory.The data obtained from the in vitro release studies were fitted to various kinetic models like zero order, first order, Higuchi model and peppas model. From the kinetic data it was found that drug release follows peppasmodel release by diffusion technique from the polymer.
