N. Elavarasan — 2024-07-15

The research paper is concerned with the Analyzing Cefixime Trihydrate and Levofloxacin Hemihydrate in Tablet Formulations Using First-Order Derivatives presents a novel approach to pharmaceutical analysis through derivative spectrophotometry. This method involves transforming standard absorption spectra into first-order derivative spectra, enhancing the precision and resolution of substance identification. By analyzing the rate of absorbance change with wavelength(CEFI 297.2 nm & LEVO 288.6 nm), specific spectral features can be pinpointed, facilitating accurate quantification and characterization of substances. Utilizing a UV-visible spectrophotometer with advanced software, the study focused on the analysis of Cefixime Trihydrate and Levofloxacin Hemihydrate, common pharmaceutical compounds. The validation process adhered to international guidelines, ensuring the method's reliability and accuracy (CEFI 100.4 ± 0.94 & LEVO 100.4 ± 0.82). Calibration curves exhibited linearity over a defined concentration range for both compounds, validating the method's suitability for quantitative analysis. Overall, this study contributes to the advancement of analytical techniques for pharmaceutical quality control and research, emphasizing the pivotal role of derivative spectrophotometry in modern analytical practices.

Therapeutic Potential of Heeraka Bhasma (Incinerated Diamond ash): A review through Classical and Contemporary literature.

Rakshitha Shetty — 2024-07-15

The ancient Indian alchemical tradition of Rasashastra encompasses a diverse literature on the therapeutic application of metals, minerals, and gemstones. This tradition later integrated into Ayurveda, the indigenous medical system of India, forming a significant branch thereof. Within Rasashastra's classical texts, Heeraka (Diamond) is categorized under Ratna Varga (Precious gemstones classification), alongside other precious and semiprecious gemstones. Notably, Heeraka Bhasma, the incinerated ash of diamond, finds mention for treating internal abscesses, tumors, angina pectoris, and tuberculosis. Reviewing over 30 classical texts reveals various pharmaceutical procedures like Shodhana(Purification) and Marana(Process of preparing Bhasma), enhancing Heeraka's therapeutic potential. Common purification methods include Nirvapa(Hearing and Quenching) and Swedana(Boiling), while Gajaputa(Amount of Heat) is the commonest puta given for Bhasma(Incinerated Ash) preparation, often employing Karpasa Mula and 3-year-old Nagvalli swarasa as media. This review aims to comprehensively explore diamond's processing techniques and therapeutic attributes as described in classical literature and contemporary research.

Synthesis, Characterization and Biological evaluation of New Schiff’s Base Derivatives

M. Mohanapriya — 2024-07-16

This manuscript presents the synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of novel Schiff’s base derivatives derived from aromatic aldehydes and amino acids. Schiff bases, known for their biological relevance and stability when linked to aryl groups, were synthesized using a condensation reaction facilitated by mildly acidic conditions to ensure optimal yields without compromising the nucleophilicity of the amines. The synthesized compounds were rigorously characterized using melting point determination, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Their biological efficacy was assessed through in vitro antibacterial and antifungal assays, demonstrating considerable activity against common pathogenic strains such as Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans. The compounds exhibited a range of activities, with some showing comparable efficacy to standard antibiotics and antifungals. These findings suggest that Schiff’s bases could be potent candidates for drug development, offering a scaffold for further chemical enhancement and therapeutic application.

Development and Validation of Simple and Precise UV Spectroscopy Method for Quantifying Baicalein & Berberine in Bulk and Formulated Products

Vijendra Singh Chauhan — 2024-07-26

A simple, precise, and cost-effective UV-visible spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of baicalein and berberine in bulk and formulations, in accordance with ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines. Calibration standards of baicalein and berberine were prepared, and calibration curves of concentration versus absorbance were plotted. Various analytical method validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, ruggedness, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation were calculated. The maximum wavelengths for baicalein and berberine were found to be 274 nm and 344 nm, respectively. The correlation coefficients over the concentration ranges of 0.5-8 μg/ml and 5-30 μg/ml were 0.998 and 0.999 for baicalein and berberine, respectively. The developed UV method demonstrated high precision, accuracy, and sensitivity, with % RSD less than 2. This validated UV-visible method can be efficiently used for the individual and simultaneous estimation of baicalein and berberine in bulk and formulations.
