One such advance has been the development of transdermal delivery systems. The transdermal route of drug delivery has attracted researchers due to many biomedical advantages associated with it. However, excellent impervious nature of skin is the greatest challenge that has to be overcome for successfully delivery of the drug molecules to the systemic circulation via this route. Various types of transdermal approaches used to incorporate the active ingredients include use of prodrugs/lipophilic analogs, permeation enhancers, sub saturated systems and entrapment into vesicular systems. Innovations in technologies continue to occur at a positive rate, making the technology a fertile and vibrant. This article deals with the innovations in the field of TDDS to improve the release rate and other parameters and most suitable to the patient.

Aquasomes are spherical (5â€“925nm) particles used for drug and antigen delivery. Aquasomes are called as â€œbodies of water" their water like properties protect and preserve fragile biological molecules. Its high degree of surface exposure is used in targeting of bio-active molecules to specific sites. Three types of core materials are mainly used for producing aquasomes: Tin oxide, Nanocrystalline carbon ceramics and Brushite. Calcium phosphate is the core of interest, due to its natural presence in the body. The brushite is unstable and converts to hydroxyapatite upon prolong storage and seems a better core for the preparation of aquasomes. It is widely used for the preparation of implants. Aquasomes exploited as a RBC substitutes, vaccines for delivery of viral antigen and as targeted system for intracellular gene therapy. Enzyme activity and sensitivity towards molecular conformation made aquasome as a novel carrier for enzymes like DNAses and pigment/dyes. This report reviews the principles of self assembly, the challenges of maintaining both the conformational integrity and biochemical activity of immobilized surface pairs.

Stability indicating spectrophotometric method was developed that could separate the drug from its degradation products formed under these stressed conditions. The UV spectral characteristics of the drug and degraded products were quite different and first order derivative UV spectrophotometric method was used to study the extent of degradation. ROPI was found to degrade extensively under experimental conditions. The method was validated with respect to linearity, precision, accuracy and specificity. The described method was found to be linear over the range of 5-50 µg mL-1 for ROPI. The mean recovery was found to be 99.03±1.11, %. The intermediate precision data were obtained under different experimental conditions and calculated value of the coefficient of variation (CV, %) was found to be less than critical value. The proposed method can be successfully useful to determine the degradation of drug during storage.

The present study was designed to investigate the hypolipidemic effects of Protocatechuic acid in atherogenic diet induced hyperlipidemia. In atherogenic diet induced hyperlipidemic model, the rats receiving treatment of Protocatechuic acid at the dose of 25 and 50 mg/kg showed significant reduction in total cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein and elevation in high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Hence by considering the effects observed in this model, it has been suggested that Protocatechuic acid was found to possess significant hypolipidemic activity, this may be due to its effect on increasing the metabolism of the cholesterol by activating lipoprotein lipase or by increasing reverse cholesterol transport.

Microbubbles designate air or gas filled microspheres suspended in a liquid carrier phase which generally results from the introduction of air or gas. The liquid phase contains surfactants to control the surface properties as well as stability of the bubble. Microbubbles are manufactured from biocompatible materials, so they can be injected intravenously. Microbubbles have an average size (1-8 Âµm) less than that of RBCâ€™s i.e. they are capable of penetrating even into the smallest blood capillaries & releasing drugs or genes, incorporated on their surface, under the action of ultrasound. Ultrasound radiation are used which are non hazardous. Most of the physicians today prefer imaging with ultrasound in combination with microbubbles compared to other diagnostic techniques for low cost and rapidity. The ultrasonic field can be focused at the target tissues and organs; thus, selectivity of the treatment can be improved, reducing undesirable side effects. Recently, targeting ligands are attached to the surface of the microbubbles, which have been widely used in cardiovascular system, tumour diagnosis and therapy. This review focuses on the characteristics of microbubbles that give them therapeutic properties and some important aspects of ultrasound parameters that are known to influence microbubble-mediated drug delivery. In addition, current studies involve discussion of novel therapeutical application of microbubbles.

Method-I involved simultaneous equation method and Method-II is the Q-absorbance method. For simultaneous equation method, the absorbances of the standard solutions were taken at two wavelengths 368 nm (Î»-max of Thiocolchicoside) and 258 nm (Î»-max of dexketoprofen trometamol). For Q-absorbance method, the absorbances of the standard solutions were taken at two wavelengths 258 nm (Î»-max of dexketoprofen trometamol) and 281 nm (Isoabsorptive point), in methanol. Linearity range was found to be 2-24 Î¼g/ml for dexketoprofen trometamol and Thiocolchicoside in both methods based on the ratio of the two drugs in combined dosage form. The accuracy and precision of the methods were determined and validated statistically. Both methods showed good reproducibility and recovery with RSD less than 2. Proposed methods were found to be rapid, specific, precise and accurate and can be successfully applied for the routine analysis of dexketoprofen trometamol and Thiocolchicoside in pharmaceutical dosage form.

To improve such characters transdermal drug delivery system was emerged. Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) provides a means to sustain drug release as well as reduce the intensity of action and thus reduce the side effects associated with its oral therapy and differs from traditional topical drug delivery. Transdermal Drug Delivery System is the system in which the delivery of the active ingredients of the drug occurs by means of skin. Several important advantages of transdermal drug delivery are limitation of hepatic first pass metabolism, enhancement of therapeutic efficiency and maintenance of steady plasma level of the drug. Various types of transdermal patches are used to incorporate the active ingredients into the circulatory system via skin. This review article covers a brief outline of the principles of transdermal permeation, various components of transdermal patch, approaches of transdermal patch, evaluation of transdermal system, its application with its limitation.

Insitu hydrogel were prepared using thermo-reversible gelling polymer, Pluronic F 127 (PF127) and PH sensitive and viscosity enhancer polymer Carbopol 940 (CP940). Because of high concentration (20 to 25%w/v) of PF127 polymer required for insitu gelation causes irritation to the eye. So, to reduce this concentration, an attempt was made to combine the PF127 with CP940 showing a pH triggered sol-gel transition by pH of tear fluid. Different batches were prepared of varying concentrations of CP940 (0.1-0.3%) with PF127 (12%-18%) using DOX 2%w/v. Pluronic F68 (PF68) with 2% and 4% concentration were mixed to obtain a hydrogel with an appropriate gelation temperature. The formulations were optimized by the viscosity measurement and in vitro gelation study. Selected formulations were evaluated for in vitro drug release study using Franz diffusion cell and indicated sustain drug release over a period of 10 h. Stability testing at 80C and 400C and effect of sterilization and were on drug content, pH and clarity were also evaluated. The prepared formulation could reduce not only the concentration of individual polymers but also the side effects without compromising the in vitro gelling capacity. This formulation of Doxycycline insitu hydrogel represents potentially effective ophthalmic delivery system for the treatment of chlaymydial conjunctivitis.

Both drugs were subjected to acid, base, peroxide, and photo degradation. Successful separation of the drugs from the degradation products formed on aluminum-backed silica gel 60 F254 with Ethyl acetate: Methanol: Ammonia (7.0:1.4:0.7 v/v/v) as the mobile phase. Densitometric analysis of was performed at 231nm in concentration range 100-1200 ng/spot with range of recovery 99.91 ± 0.91% for MTKT and 50-600 ng/spot with range of recovery 99.28 ± 0.51 % for LCTZ by the HPTLC method. Statistical analysis proved the method to be repeatable, specific, and accurate for estimation of MTKT and LCTZ. It can be used as a stability indicating method due to its effective separation of the drugs from its degradation products.

The formation of gel depends on factors like temperature modulation, pH change, presence of ions and ultraviolet irradiation, electrical sensitivity, enzyme sensitive from which drug get released in a sustained and controlled manner. Typically, aqueous solutions of hydrogels used in biomedical applications are liquid at ambient temperature and gel at physiological temperature. The in situ gel forming polymeric formulations offer several advantages like sustained and prolonged action in comparison to conventional drug delivery systems. From a manufacturing point of view, the production of such devices is less complex and thus lowers the investment and manufacturing cost. This review stresses on the polymeric use of natural polymers and synthetic polymers.

The physicochemical compatibility of the drug and the polymers was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy. The results suggested no physicochemical incompatibility between the drug and the polymers. The prepared films were evaluated for physicochemical characteristics like weight variation, thickness, folding endurance, tensile strength, percentage moisture uptake, water vapor transmission rate, percentage flatness and in vitro permeation study. In vitro permeation studies were performed by using Franz diffusion cells. The drug release profiles of selected formulations were subjected to kinetic treatment using zero order, first order, Higuchi and korsmeyer's peppas kinetic models. The results followed Higuchi kinetics (r2 = 0.951−0.995) and the mechanism of release was diffusion mediated. Based on physicochemical and in vitro permeation studies, transdermal film prepared by combination of HPMC K4M and Chitosan with ratio 3:1 selected as optimized formulation shows the drug release more than 24 hours with good flexibility and stability at 250C. The developed transdermal film increases the efficacy of carvedilol for the treatment of hypertension.

The vesicle is composed of a bilayer of non-ionic surface active agents and hence the name given as "Niosomes". The niosomes are very small ranging usually in micron size. Their size lies in the nanometric scale. Although structurally similar to liposomes, they offer several advantages over them. Niosomes have recently been shown to greatly increase transdermal drug delivery and also can be used in targeted drug delivery, and thus increased study in these structures can provide new methods for drug delivery.

Stemming from the nanobiotechnology research, not only a large number of disease-specific biologicals have been developed, but also enormous efforts have been made to effectively deliver these biologicals. Non-ionic surfactant vesicles (or niosomes) are now widely studied as alternates to liposomes. Different novel approaches used for delivering these drugs include liposomes, Microspheres, nanotechnology, micro emulsions, antibody-loaded drug delivery, magnetic Microcapsules, implantable pumps and niosomes. Niosomes and liposomes are equiactive In drug delivery potential and both increase drug efficacy as compared with that of free Drug. Niosomes are preferred over liposomes because the former exhibit high chemical Stability and economy. Niosomes are self assembled vesicles composed primarily of synthetic surfactants and cholesterol. They are analogous in structure to the more widely studied liposomes formed from biologically derived phospholipids. Niosomes represent an emerging class of novel vesicular systems. Niosome formation requires the presence of a particular class of amphiphile and aqueous solvent. In recent years a comprehensive research carried over niosome as a drug carrier. Various drugs are enlisted and tried in niosome surfactant vesicles. Niosome appears to be a Well preferred drug delivery system over liposome as niosome being stable and economic. Also niosomes have great drug delivery potential for targeted delivery of anti-cancer, Anti-infective agents. Drug delivery potential of niosome can enhance by using novel Concepts like proniosomes, discomes and aspasome. Niosomes also serve better aid in diagnostic imaging and as a vaccine adjuvant.

Targeting drug molecules to brain is one of the most challenging research areas in pharmaceutical... more Targeting drug molecules to brain is one of the most challenging research areas in pharmaceutical sciences. Drugs that are effective against diseases in the CNS and reach the brain via the blood compartment must pass the BBB. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents an insurmountable obstacle for a large number of drugs, including antibiotics, anti-neoplastic agents, and a variety of central nervous system (CNS)-active drugs. Therefore, various strategies have been proposed to improve the delivery of different drugs to this tissue which includes liposomes, colloidal drug carriers, micelles, chimeric peptide technology, intranasal and olfactory route of administration and nano technology. The discovery of liposome or lipid vesicle emerged from self forming enclosed lipid bi-layer upon hydration; liposome drug delivery systems have played a significant role in formulation of potent drug to improve therapeutics Liposomes have been investigated as carriers of various pharmacologically active agents such as antineoplastic, antimicrobial drugs, chelating agents, steroids, vaccines, and genetic materials. Liposomes provide an efficient drug delivery system because they can alter the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the entrapped drugs. Liposomes have been widely used for brain delivery in vivo. Nowadays, the nasal route for systemic drug delivery has gained great interest. It provides several advantages over other routes of drug administrations, which includes rapid absorption, avoids intestinal and hepatic presystemic disposition and high potential for drug transfer to the CSF. Moreover, the nasal route is a potential alternative route for systemic availability of drugs restricted to intravenous administration, viz. peptide and protein drugs and vaccines. As well, intranasal route has also been successfully exploited for bypassing the blood brain barrier [BBB] and subsequently delivering drug molecules to central nervous system [CNS].

Sustained release tablet of Tramadol HCl (dose 200mg) were produced by wet granulation method by PVP K30 5% solution. After the evaluation of physical characteristics of granules & tablets, The dissolution test was performed in 0.1 N HCl for 2 hr and remaining 22 hr performed in 6.8 pH buffer solution. We concluded that T1-T15 batches of Box-behnken design passed the pre-compressional and post-compressional parameters and increasing the polymer concentration, decreasing the drug release. Higher viscosity grade HPMC K100M is more drug retarding agent as compare to HPMC K15M & HPMC K4M. In combination of HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M & HPMC K100M, T7 batch having drug releasing up to 24 hrs as compare to others. Kinetics treatment of the box-behken design batches, concluded that zero order R2 value is near to 0.999 as compared to the first order R2 value. So, all batches follow the Zero order release mechanism. From the korsmeyer-peppas model, concluded that drug release mechanism is diffusion with dissolution or anomalous diffusion (Non-fickian). From the statastical analysis full model and reduced model was analyzed and got the significant effect of X3 polymer as compared to X1 & X2. X3 having more negative value than the X1 & X2 so concluded that the X3 polymer is effective to retardation of the drug release. T1-T15 batches are compared with marketed product (Tramazac OD tab.).

Method was performed on Elico's Double beam UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (SL-191) using methanol as a solvent. Absorbance were recorded at Zero Crossing Point (ZCP) of Granisetron (248 nm) and ZCP of Pantoprazole (291 nm) for all standard and sample solutions. The selected Spectrophotometric conditions were found to be effective for the determination of Granisetron and Pantoprazole from synthetic mixture in presence of common excipients without prior physical separation. Linearity was found over the range of 2-20 μg/ml for Granisetron and over 5-100 μg/ml for Pantoprazole. The values of Limit of Detection were found to be 0.40 μg/ml for Granisetron and 0.62 μg/ml for Pantoprazole. The values of Limit of Quantification were found to be 1.22 μg/ml for Granisetron and 1.89 μg/ml for Pantoprazole. The proposed method was found to be fast, simple, sensitive, accurate, precise, reproducible, robust and rugged and can be used for simultaneous analysis of these drugs in synthetic mixture.

Tablets were prepared by direct compression method using HPMC K100M and Eudragit L100 as matrix forming polymers. Tablets were evaluated for various physicochemical parameters like Hardness, Thickness, Friability, Weight variation test, Content Uniformity and In vitro drug release. All the formulations complied with pharmacopoeial standards. A 32 full factorial design for 2 factors at 3 levels each was employed to systematically optimize drug release profile. HPMC K100M and Eudragit L100 were taken as the independent variables. The dependent variables selected were % of drug released in 3 hrs, % of drug released in 12 hrs. In vitro drug release study showed that batch F8 (HPMC K100M-15%, Eudragit L100-10%) was found to be optimized as it had almost identical dissolution profile with marketed product. The formulated tablets exhibited Non-fickian drug release kinetics approaching Zero-order as the value of release rate exponent (n) varied between 0.6024 and 0.7354, resulting in regulated and complete release until 24 hrs. The polymer HPMC K100M and Eudragit L100 had significant effect on the drug release from the tablets (P<0.05). Validation of optimization study performed using confirmatory run indicated very high degree of prognostic ability to 32 full factorial design. Stability study of optimized batch F8 was conducted at accelerated conditions for one month and it was found to be stable.

The aim of the present work was to study preparation of controlled drug delivery of Tramadol HCl via oral route. Drug was encapsulated within polymethacrylate copolymer i.e. Eudragit RS100 and Eudragit RL100, by solvent evaporation method using acetone/liquid paraffin system. FTIR and DSC of Tramadol HCl and it combination with Excipients shows no change in peak of absorbance and melting point. Microparticles of different drug-polymer concentrations 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 were prepared. Magnesium stearate was used as droplet stabilizer and lubricant in concentration of 0.3% (v/v). Selected formulations were characterized for their micromeritics property, % yield, drug loading, particle size, surface morphology and release behaviour. In-vitro dissolution tests were performed by using dissolution media with two different pH i.e. 1.2 pH for 2 hrs and 6.8 pH for 10 hrs. All the selected formulations exhibited a controlled release for almost 12 hrs. Among the entire prepared batches F25 shows good % drug loading (48.33%), high % yield (93%) and good controlled release (98%) within 12 hrs. The mean particle size of microspheres ranged from 252 ± 24.54 μm. Scanning electron microscopy of microspheres revealed a spherical and uniform appearance with smooth surface. Stability study was performed for batch F10 shows 96.78% drug release in 12 hrs. Release of TmH was best fitted to Higuchi model and Korsmeyer-Peppas model because it presented highest values of correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9822).

In the present study an attempt has been made to prepare Mouth Dissolving Tablets (MDTs) of Metoclopramide HCl for use in specific population viz. pediatrics, geriatrics and patients experiencing difficulty in swallowing tablet. Mouth Dissolving Tablets containing Metoclopramide HCl were prepared by direct compression method using various superdisintegrants like Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG), Crosscarmellose Sodium (CCS), Crospovidone (CP), LHPC-11 and Doshion P 544D in three different concentrations i.e. 5, 7.5, 10 mg. The slight bitter taste of the drug was masked using sweetener and flavour which also enhanced the mouth feel of tablet. The initial compatibility studies between the drug and excipients were carried out using DSC and FT-IR Spectra. The blend was examined for various pre-compression parameters like angle of repose, density, compressibility index, etc. The formulated tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, in-vitro disintegration time, drug content, etc. The hardness of the tablets was in range of 3-5 kg/cm2. The percentage friability of the tablets was less than one. Weight variation test results showed that the tablets were deviating from the average weight within the permissible limits of ±7.5%. Drug content uniformity study results was found to be 99-100%. Batch F15 containing Doshion P 544D (10 mg) showed better disintegrating character along with the immediate release (100.09% within 6 minutes). There was no drastic change in result of tablets of an optimized batch at the end of one month accelerated stability study. It was concluded that the in-vitro drug release was influenced greatly by the concentration of superdisintegrants and Doshion P 544D was found to be better suited for the formulation of mouth dissolving tablets of Metoclopramide HCl compared to other superdisintegrants used in the study.

In order to obtain the desired delivery duration, the drug was solubilized with the use of a pH-controlling excipient. The capsule wall membrane was made by a phase inversion process, in which asymmetric membrane was formed on glass mold pins by dipping the mold pins into a coating solution containing a polymeric material followed by dipping into a quench solution. This study evaluates the influence of coating formulation that was cellulose acetate (CA), ethyl cellulose (EC), and plasticizer (glycerin and PEG 600). Results show capsule that made by CA with glycerol and PEG 600(F8), which appear in asymmetric structure and are able to release gliclazide(GLZ) in significant percentage. Results show that sodium bicarbonate and D-mannitol is able to promote the release of GLZ from polymeric capsules prepared with CA with asymmetrical membrane. The addition of solubilizer, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) could enhance the release of GLZ by micelle formation of GLZ. Based on these results, influence of core formulation variables, including D-mannitol, sodium bicarbonate and the added amount of SLS were examined on the release of GLZ. It was found that HPMC 15cp was suitable to be a thickening agent and both added amount of HPMC and SLS showed a comparable and profoundly positive effect. In vitro release studies for all the prepared formulations were done (n=3). Statistical test (Dunnett’s multiple comparison test) was applied for in vitro drug release at P>0.05. The best formulation closely corresponded to the marketed formulation by a similarity (f2) value of 78.36 and difference (f1) value of 4.49. The drug release was independent of pH but dependent on the osmotic pressure of the dissolution medium. The release kinetics followed the First order model and the mechanism of release was anomalous type.

In the present study, Piroxicam has been chosen as a model drug which is having low oral bioavailability and associated with many dose related side effects. If the bioavailability of this drug is increased reduction of the dose and the dose related side effects can be controlled and this would lead to more affordable therapy. An oral microemulsion formulation for enhancing the bioavailability of Piroxicam was developed and evaluated. A microemulsion is one of the novel pharmaceutical interests for drug delivery, and is normally composed of oil, water, surfactants and co-surfactants. Microemulsions were prepared by titrating different ratio of oil to surfactant mixtures (surfactant + co-surfactant) with water and microemulsion zone was recorded in the Pseudo-ternary phase diagram. Stable mocroemulsions were obtained with Sesame oil as oil phase, Tween80 as surfactant, Glycerin as co-surfactant and distilled water as aqueous phase. The ratio of components (oil, surfactant, co-surfactant and water) was found to affect the pH, Conductivity, Clarity, Dilution shock, In vitro release and Intestinal permeability, Zeta potential and Particle Size. The higher permeability achieved with the microemulsion systems compared to the marketed product (Pirox-20) was encouraging. The developed microemulsion system improved the permeability by increasing the lipophillicity due to the oil phase and also by destabilizing the epithelial membrane due to the surfactants, and may be used as a vehicle for enhanced delivery of BCS class II drugs.

Sustained release gastroretentive dosage forms enable prolonged and continuous input of the drug to the upper parts of gastrointestinal tract and improve the bioavailability of medication that is characterized by narrow absorption window. Gastroretentive floating drug delivery systems (GFDDS) of metformin hydrochloride, an antidiabetic drug with an oral bioavailability of only 50% (because of its poor absorption from lower gastrointestinal tract) have been designed and evaluated. Xanthan gum and different grades of Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were used as strong gelling agent and sodium bicarbonate as gas generating agent to reduce floating lag time. Tablets were prepared by wet granulation method. Drug-excipients compatibility was studied by FTIR and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Floating tablets were evaluated for pre-formulation parameters and for hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content, floating properties and in vitro release pattern. Formulation M3 showed minimum floating lag time and maximum floating time of 12 hours and gave slow and maximum drug release of Metformin HCl spread over 12 hours. The release of drug from the formulation followed zero order kinetics and was governed by non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. The optimized formulation was subjected to stability study.

The purpose of this study was to develop a taste masked orally disintegrating tablet of poorly soluble Piroxicam by direct compression technique with β-cyclodextrin (ß-CD) complexes using various superdisintegrants like sodium starch glycolate, crospovidone XL and croscarmellose sodium. Complex was characterized using infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, % drug release study, gustatory evaluation for taste masking. A 32 full factorial design was applied to systematically optimize the drug disintegration time. The concentration of Crospovidone (X1) and concentration of Croscarmellose (X2) were selected as independent variables. The Disintegration time (Y1) and Wetting time (Y2) were selected as dependent variables. The prepared tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, disintegration time, wetting time and In-vitro drug release. FT-IR studies and physical compatibility study were conducted for drug, and drug excipient mixture for interactions if any. The different formulations showed disintegration time between 12 to 58 sec. The results indicated that concentration of Crospovidone (X1) and concentration of Croscarmellose (X2) significantly affected the Disintegration time (Y1) and Wetting time (Y2). Regression analysis and numerical optimization were performed to identify the best formulation. Formulation F10 prepared with croscarmellose (4.23%) & crospovidone (6.74%) was found to be the best formulation with disintegration time 16 sec, wetting time 21 sec and % drug release in 10 min 94.23%.

Six formulations were prepared by wet granulation method using HPMC K100M and HPMC K15M as release retardant polymers in the concentration of 5%, 6% and 7%. The prepared granules were evaluated for various pre-compression parameters like angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The FT-IR studies concluded that there was no drug-polymer interaction. The post compression parameters like appearance, thickness, hardness, weight variation, friability, drug content, in-vitro drug release and order of kinetics were studied. The drug release of best formulation F6 was found to be 62.1±0.378 % at the end of 10 hours. The overall results revealed that as the concentration of polymer was increased, the drug release decreased. Plots of log cumulative Percentage drug remaining Vs Time were found to be linear with all the formulations indicating that the drug release from these formulations was according to the first order kinetics. Stability studies of Formulation F6 revealed that the drug was stable even after stored at 25±2oC/60±5%RH and 40±2oC/75±5%RH for 45 days. From all the above observations, the formulation F6 was found to be a better one which satisfied all the criteria for sustained release tablets.

The correlation coefficient, r2, was 0.9994 and 0.9988. The value of slop and intercept of the calibration plot was 79403 and -16673. The limit of detection and quantitation were 0.087 ± 7.18 µg mL–1 and 0.263 ± 3.68 µg mL–1. Statistical analysis proved the method is repeatable, selective, and accurate for estimation of S (–) Enantiomer in Lacosamide drug substance and its intermediates. Because the method could effectively separate the drug from their possible impurities like dibenzyl urea, benzyl acetamide, desmethyl, diacetyl and methylbenzyl serine, it can be used as a stability indicating method.

That contains two layers immediate release layer and sustain release layer. First immediate release layer quickly releases drugs and attains onset of action, subsequently floating sustained release layer floats over gastric fluid and releases the drug in sustained or controlled manner. Experimental Work: In bilayer tablet formulation, the floating sustained release layer was compressed and immediate release layer was added over it, then both layers were compressed. Tablets were characterized using the official methods. Immediate release layer contained Repaglinide, Sodium starch glycolate & Microcrystalline cellulose. In this study floating sustain release layer tablets were prepared using HPMC K4M alone, Na CMC alone & combination of HPMC K4M & Na CMC. Sodium bicarbonate & Citric acid were used as an effervescent agent. All formulations were prepared by using factorial design (32 & 23). All the above formulations were evaluated for in vitro drug release, buoyancy lag time (BLT), swelling ability, floating behavior. Results and Discussion: All formulations showed anomalous transport mechanism. This means diffusion as well as swelling controlled had played an essential role in drug release. Finally bilayer floating sustained release tablets was formulated by using optimized immediate release layer and optimized floating sustained release layer & evaluated as earlier. The optimized bilayer tablet formulation was subjected to stability study 40°C±2°C/75%RH±5%RH for 1 month according to ICH guidelines & evaluated. Conclusions: From the study it is concluded that the developed formulation has good appearance with good handling condition, therapeutically efficacious, stable. The developed Bilayer formulation is viable alternative to conventional Repaglinide and Glipizide tablet.

Topical patch containing drug in hydrogel type polymer matrix provides not only targeted drug flux through the skin but also provides cooling effect on application site. Topical hydrogel patch containing lidocaine was prepared by using sodium poly acrylate as bioadhesive polymer. Effect of brij 30 and transcutol was also evaluated on topical flux of lidocaine base from hydrogel patch. Transcutol (10% w/w) provides sufficient drug release in contrast to brij 30(4%w/w) in prepared hydrogel patches. Maintenance of uniformity of weight is one of the critical task in preparation of hydrogel patch as polymers used are highly water absorbent. Excess amount of penetration enhancers leads to alter adhesive property of bioadhesive patch so formulation was optimized with Sodium polyacrylate (7%w/w) as the desired concentration for necessary bioadhesiveness and zinc oxide as cross linking agent.

However, drug absorption is limited to upper gastrointestinal tract thus requiring suitable drug delivery system providing complete release during stomach to jejunum transit. This study was undertaken to develop a Metformin HCl gas powered bioadhesive formulation in compliance with these requirements. The strategy proposed is based on directly compressed tablets consisting of a combination of Metformin HCl with different viscosity grades of HPMC (K4M, K15M, and K100M), Carbopol 934P, Xanthan gum and gas generating agent sodium bicarbonate with citric acid. Compatibility among the formulation components was assessed by FTIR. All the tablets were examined for post compressional analysis, drug release and bioadhesive strength. The result of the kinetics study obtained permits us to conclude that the fabricated tablets, in this case, deliver the drug through diffusional dominated mechanism.

A sensitive, precise and accurate high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed for the quantitative estimation of levodopa in Mucuna pruriens extract. The method utilises sample preparation step followed by separation on a Phenomenex C18, 250 x 4.6 mm, 5 Âµm particle size column, using 0.1 M KH2PO4 (pH 3.0 by ortho-phosphoric acid) as the mobile phase. Analysis of levodopa was carried out in the absorbance mode at 283 nm. The method was validated in terms of linearity, precision (inter and intraday), accuracy, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). Linearity was observed in the range of 20-100 ppm with correlation coefficient of 0.9991. Detection limit was 5.6 ppm and quantification limit was 8.5 ppm. The repeatability of the method was found to be 0.49% and recovery values from 101.17 to 100.18% indicates best accuracy of the method. The results indicated that the extract obtained was 50% Levodopa content and 38% protein content. The proposed HPLC method was also found to be precise, specific, accurate and can be used for the identification and quantitative determination of levodopa in herbal extracts.

The uniqueness of this type of drug carrier system lies in the fact that it can accommodate hydrophilic, lipophilic as well as amphiphilic drugs. These drugs find place in different places in the vesicle before they get delivered beneath the skin. Liposomes are micro particulate lipoidal vesicles which are under extensive investigation as drug carriers for improving the delivery of therapeutic agents. Due to new developments in liposome technology, several liposome based drug formulations are currently in clinical trial, and recently some of them have been approved for clinical use. Reformulation of drugs in liposomes has provided an opportunity to enhance the therapeutic indices of various agents mainly through alteration in their bio distribution. This review discusses the potential applications of liposomes in drug delivery with examples of formulations approved for clinical use, and the problems associated with further exploitation of this drug delivery system.

Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) was used as a model drug to evaluate its release characteristics from different matrices. Matrix tablets of Ibuprofen were prepared by direct compression process using different hydrophilic excipients (Methocel K4M, Methocel K100M, PolyoxWSR 1105 & Metolose 90 SH 100 SR).Before compression, the formulations were evaluated for angle of repose, % compressibility and Hausner’s ratio. Tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, weight variation, uniformity of thickness & diameter, and drug content and results were found within acceptable limits. In-vitro drug release studies were carried out using USP XXII dissolution apparatus type II at 50 rpm with 900 ml 0.1N HCl & phosphate buffer solutions (PBS) of pH 7.4, maintained at 37±0.50C. The release kinetics was analyzed using the zero-order, first-order model equation, Higuchi’s square root equation, and the Korsmeyer-peppas model. In vitro release studies revealed that the release rate decreased with increases in polymer proportion. The matrix tablet containing 20% Methocel K100M & Polyox WSR 1105 (in ratio 1:1) (Formulation F6) were found to show good initial release (34.52% in an initial hour) and allowed sustained release up to 12 hours. Bioavailability parameters including Cmax, Tmax, AUC(0-t), for both tablet were compared. The sustained release tablet produces optimized Cmax and extended Tmax. Relative bioavailability of the test tablet was calculated as 124.14% for 12 hr. Mathematical analysis of the release kinetics indicated that the nature of drug release from the matrix tablets was dependent on polymer concentration and it was found to be diffusion coupled with erosion. Bioavailability parameters including Cmax, Tmax, AUC(0-t), for both tablet were compared. The sustained release tablet produces optimized Cmax and extended Tmax. Relative bioavailability of the test tablet was calculated as 124.14% for 12 hr. The developed controlled release matrix tablets of Ibuprofen, with sustained release characteristics, might be able to minimize the demerits of conventional therapy having Ibuprofen.

In this review, current & recent developments of Stomach Specific FDDS are discussed. Drugs with narrow absorption window in the gastrointestinal tract have poor absorption. Therefore, gastro retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) have been developed, which prolong the gastric emptying time. Several techniques such as floating drug delivery system, low-density systems, raft systems, mucoadhesive systems, high-density systems, superporous hydrogels and magnetic systems, have been employed. This review also summarizes the in vitro techniques, in vivo studies to evaluate the performance and application of floating systems, and applications of these systems. The purpose of writing this review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention.

ADPKD is characterised by formation of fluid filled cysts in both kidneys that leads to progressive renal failure. It is a heterogeneous disorder with mutations in two genes pkd1 and pkd2 gene. In Gujarat state ADPKD families the phenotype and genetic background has not previously been characterised. Therefore, in this study 4 subjects with ADPKD from Institute of Kidney Disease Research Centre, Ahmedabad, and Civil Hospital were identified and investigated for genomic study. The aim was to identify pkd2 gene mutation analysis for selected population. The mutation screening of pkd1 gene is difficult because of its size (around 14 kb) and it contains 46 exons. For the same study purpose we have used ABI 3730 SEQUENCER. The sequence data were compared and contrast within a group as well as with the available source of gene bank NCBI. The mutation cosegregating with ADPKD was identified in all 4 subjects for PKD2 gene. Of the four mutations 2 mutations were frameshift mutation, 1 was nonsense mutation and 1 was missense mutation. The maximum total score was matched with data and found to be few exceptions. Finally the mutation detection was done with help of codon code software with output of point mutation and heterozygous mutation. In selected patient out of 4 three sequencing samples were denoted a point mutation. So our findings reveal that the maximum patients showing were in heredited to polycystic kidney disease.

Magnetically responsive biodegradable microparticulate delivery system of cisplatin has been developed by phase separation emulsion polymerization technique by using bovine serum albumin. The formulations were evaluated with respect to particle size analysis, entrapment efficiency, magnetite content, in vitro magnetic responsiveness, in vitro drug release studies, in vivo drug targeting studies and stability studies. The formulated magnetic microspheres were found to be spherical with average particle size of 3-12 µm in diameter and incorporation efficiency up to 56.37%. Result of X-ray diffractometry confirmed the presence of magnetite in prepared cisplatin magnetic microspheres. The total percentage of Fe2O3 in the microspheres was found to be 42.53% to 55.48%. In vitro drug release after 24 hours was 89.60%, 82.22%, 78.41% and 76.35% for formulation F1, F2, F3 and F4 respectively. Results of in vitro magnetic responsiveness and in vivo tissue targeting proved that the retention of microspheres in presence of magnetic field was significantly high than those in the absence of the magnetic field. Stability studies revealed that 4º is the most suitable temperature for storage of cisplatin loaded magnetic microspheres. Overall, this study shows that the magnetic albumin microspheres can be retained at their target site in vivo, following the application of magnetic field, and are capable of releasing their drug content for an extended period of time.

Metformin HCl microspheres were prepared by using ethyl cellulose as a release retardant polymer by solvent evaporation method .Formulations F1, F2 and F3 were prepared using ethyl cellulose in the drug polymer ratio of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3. A plasticizer (N-dibutyl phthalate) was added in formulations F4,F5 and F6 .The prepared microspheres were evaluated for the parameters like Percentage yield, Particle size analysis, Micromeritic properties like angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index, Hausner’s ratio, melting point determination, drug content estimation, microencapsulation efficiency and in vitro drug release studies. The in vitro release of Metformin HCl was slow and extended over longer period of time. As the concentration of polymer was increased, the drug release was decreased. The drug release was found to be slow in formulations F4, F5 and F6 when compared to F1, F2 and F3. Thus the study clearly indicated a promising potential of sustained release Metformin HCl microspheres containing ethyl cellulose as rate controlling polymer for effectively treating diabetes mellitus.

The tablets were prepared by direct compression method and coated by using film coating polymers. The powder mixtures were evaluated for angle of repose, loose bulk density, tapped bulk density and compressibility index and showed satisfactory results. All the ingredients were lubricated and compressed using 8.5mm circular shaped standard concave plain punches. The tablets were evaluated for uniformity of weight, content of active ingredient, thickness, friability, hardness and In-vitro dissolution studies. Drug content in the formulation was determined by UV- Visible Spectrophotometric method. All the formulations showed compliance with Pharmacopoeial standards. The in-vitro release study of matrix tablets were carried out in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer for 12 hours. The prepared matrix tablets showed 100.00% release over a period of 12 hours. The dissolution profile of Formulation, F5 was similar to Innovator product in three different media such as pH 1.2, pH 4.5 acetate buffer and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer. It was observed that the amount of polymer in the tablets influences the drug release. In-vitro release study results revealed that the release of the drug was retarded with the proportional increase in polymer concentration. It was indicated that the using a hydrophilic non-cellulose polymer in an appropriate concentration in tablet could control the rate of drug release.

The extract of Euphorbia neriifolia Linn. are having potential in the development of drug for diabetes due to their antidiabetic activity. Purpose of the study was to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of ethanolic extracts of leaves of Euphorbia neriifolia Linn. (Euphorbiaceae). The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effect in high fat diet-streptozotocin (HFD-STZ )induced type-2 diabetic rats. Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200-250 gm were consumed high fat diet (HFD). Two weeks later the animals were given with intraperitonial injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (35mg/kg body weight). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of repeated oral administration of the ethanolic extract of Euphorbia neriifolia Linn at a dose of (200 and 400 mg/kg) on fasting blood glucose levels and lipid metabolism in streptozotocin induced type-2 diabetic rats. After 21 days of repeated oral administration of 400mg of Euphorbia neriifolia ethanolic extract (ENEE) produced a significant decrease on fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL levels in HFD-STZ induced type-2 diabetic rats, on the other hand there was significant increase in HDL levels. Glibenclamide 2.5mg/kg,p.o was used as standard drug. In oral glucose tolerance test, reduction of fasting blood glucose levels took place from 60 min of extract administration. We conclude that the ethanolic extract of Euphorbia neriifolia (400mg/kg) exhibits anti diabetic potential along with potent lipid lowering effect after repeated oral administration.

The proposed dosage form is intended to decrease the dosing frequency and the combined administration of an anti-diabetic agent. Several pharmaceutical companies are currently developing bi-layer tablets, for a variety of reasons: patent extension, therapeutic, marketing to name a few. To reduce capital investment, quite often existing but modified tablet presses are used to develop and produce such tablets. One such approach is using microspheres as carriers for drugs also known as micro particles. It is the reliable means to deliver the drug to the target site with specificity, if modified, and to maintain the desired concentration at the site of interest. Microspheres received much attention not only for prolonged release, but also for targeting of anti-diabetic drugs. Bilayer tablet via microsphere is new era for the successful development of controlled release formulation along with various features to provide a way of successful drug delivery system. Especially when in addition high production output is required. An attempt has been made in this review article to introduce the society to the current technological developments in bilayer and floating drug delivery system.

The marketed samples of generic and innovator company were tested for physical parameters like Appearance, pH, clarity, reconstitution time and primary packing quality. All the samples were reconstituted and pH was determined using calibrated pH meter. From the results it was found that few physical parameters were comparable in innovator and generic samples with respect to parameters like pH and clarity whereas phenomenal difference was observed in reconstitution time and appearance of the product. Innovator product showed very less reconstitution time, good clarity of reconstituted solution and acceptable physical appearance or description. The increase in reconstitution time & inferior physical appearance observations of generic product may be because of sourcing of raw materials from less regulated countries (economic source) or depends on other important processing parameters like method of manufacturing (different process employed by innovator and generic company), in-process controls, quality of starting materials or even quality of intermediates used for manufacturing of raw materials that is being sourced by the generic company.

Imbalance between formation and detoxification of ROS in biological systems exerts oxidative stress. Oxidative stress damages tissue compounds like DNA, protein and lipid. Moringa oleifera is a rich dietary source of natural antioxidants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of leaves, stems and pods extracts of M. oleifera on lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and antioxidant power in plasma as well as in liver in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. At the end of the treatment period, the levels of plasma glucose, HbA1C and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) increased and free radical absorption power (FRAP) decreased in diabetic rats compared to normal rats. Administration of Moringa leaves extract (MLE), Moringa stems extract (MSE) and Moringa pods extract (MPE) for 4 weeks caused significant decrease in plasma glucose, HbA1C, plasma and liver TBARS, and an increase in levels of FRAP (both plasma and liver) in diabetic treated rats compared to untreated-diabetic rats. Phytochemical screening of the extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenolic compounds and reducing sugar. Flavonoid and phenolics rich extracts MLE and MPE showed better attenuation of oxidative stress in diabetic rats. The trend was MLE>MPE>MSE. The present study confirms potential efficacy of M. oleifera in suppressing oxidative stress induced by hyperglycemia in rats.

It has the half-life of 6 hr and oral bioavailability of 25% due to first pass metabolism. The total daily dose of Carvedilol is 25 mg, hence it required frequent dosing. Transdermal patches of Carvedilol were prepared for sustained release and improve bioavailability of drug and patient compliance. Different formulations were prepared by varying the amount of HPMC-K4M and Eudragit RS-100 by solvent casting method. The prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like thickness, tensile strength, folding endurance, % elongation, % moisture content, % moisture uptake, % drug content, In-vitro drug release, In-vitro permeation and skin irritation study. A 32 full factorial design was applied to check the effect of varying the amount of Eudragit-RS 100 (X1) and amount of HPMC-K4M (X2) on the responses i.e. tensile strength and percentage drug released in 20 hr (Q20) as dependent variables. Regression analysis and analysis of variance were performed for dependent variables. In-vitro release data were fitted to various models to ascertain kinetic of drug release. The best selected formulation is subjected to in-vitro skin permeation and skin irritation study. Batch F7 was considered optimum batch which contained 400 mg of Eudragit RS-100 and 600 mg of HPMC-K4M, showed release 95.73% up to 24 hr and was more similar to Zero order release kinetics (r2=0.982). Batch F7 showed flux of 125.8 μg/cm2/h, hence the patch area of 1.33 cm2 would be expected to deliver targeted flux of 83.72μg/cm2/h.

Various release kinetic models like Zero order, First order, Higuchi, Korsmeymer-Peppas, Hixson–Crowell and Weibull were applied to developed prolonged release tablet of Pramipexole dihydrochloride. The criteria for selecting the most appropriate model was lowest sum of square of residuals. Residual values between predicted and observed data were used to calculate the sum of squares of residuals. Lowest sum of square of residuals indicate the minimum variance between the predicted and observed dissolution data. The entire release profile was compared by taking the absolute difference (residual) between the predicted and observed calculated AUC data.

Animals were treated for 21 days at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg leaves extracts and these activities were tested using Withania somnifera as a standard drug. At the end of the treatment all animals were individually subjected to stress stimuli. Pretreatment rats with test extracts showed dose dependant significant enhancement in swimming endurance time and antifatigue effect in post swimming muscle coordination and spontaneous motor activity. In addition, the test extracts was found to possess normalizing activity against physical stress induced changes in norepinephrine, dopamine and 5-hydroxy tryptamine. The results obtained provide biochemical evidence for antifatigue activity of the tested extracts. Gallic acid was identified by TLC and estimation of total phenolic content in terms gallic acid equivalent was one of the active priniciples responsible for the anti-fatigue activity.

Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in developed countries said as lethal diseases all over the world. In this review, we summarize recent literature focusing on circulating biomarkers that can aid the diagnosis of acute heart failure, facilitate prognostication, and guide disease management. Putative heart failure biomarkers can be broadly and empirically classified into indicators of neuro-hormonal activation (brain natriuretic peptide [BNP] and norepinephrine), markers of myocyte injury and extracellular matrix remodeling, and inflammatory mediators. Other biomarkers at early stages of investigation are also discussed briefly. This review does not cover genomic and echocardiographic biomarkers of heart failure but gives the diagnostic, monitoring and risk of stratification properties of existing and emerging markers of Cardiovascular diseases (CVD’s).Cardiac markers are used to predict the increased risk of heart diseases. Among cardiac markers for CVD’s risk that have received attention in this review are Troponin, Myoglobin, Creatine kinase, C-Reactive protein and to highlight the clinical usefulness of serial measurement of these markers in heart diseases. The existing cardiac markers and their potentials gives the researchers an insight for new research and to study the emerging markers like Matrix Metaloproteins (MMP), Myeloperoxidase (MPO), homocysteine etc. It is critically important to place Cardiac markers in the temporal context of clinical symptoms and signs. This is a substantial advantage for point of care (POC) testing where availability of biochemical marker is in time frame particularly in (ED) emergency department.

Chromatographic separation of the drugs were achieved on a Phenomenax C18 column (150 x 4.6 mm; 5μ) using a mobile phase consisting of ortho-Phosphoric acid 0.1% and Acetonitrile pH 3.5 (25:75, %v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. The drugs elute were monitored at 218 nm. The retention time obtained for the Ranitidine Hydrochloride was 4.32 min and for the Dicyclomine Hydrochloride was 5.96 min. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 5-25 μg/ml and 50-250 μg/ml for Ranitidine Hydrochloride and Dicyclomine Hydrochloride respectively. The performance of the method was validated according to ICH guidelines. The method could be applied for determination of in its tablet dosage forms without any interference from excipients or endogenous substances. The proposed method is suitable for routine quality control analysis.

ODTs have better patient acceptance, compliance, improved biopharmaceutical properties and efficacy compared with conventional oral dosage forms as they quickly disintegrate/dissolve/disperse in saliva.
In the present research work, an attempt was made to design ODTs by addition of super disintegrants. Experimental design was run with four batches containing different concentration of super disintegrants. The optimization results revealed that the effect of super disintegrants result in good disintegration profile of 7-8sec (Ideal ODT should disintegrate within 1min), dissolution profile shows that more than 90% of the drug releases within 10 minutes, and good dispersion pattern. Crospovidone (5%) and Croscarmellose sodium (4%) are better super disintegrants.
The formula F4 possesses good disintegration and dissolution profile with additions of super disintegrants. The prepared tablets by direct compression using super disintegrants pass all the quality control tests and FTIR studies reveal that there is no interaction between drug and excipients. This method can also be used to prepare ODTs of antiemetics, antiallergics, and cardiovascular agents etc which needs rapid onset of action. Thus, faster disintegration and dissolution of Naratriptan ODT may give better therapy for the treatments of Migraine.

Osmotic devices which are tablets coated with walls of controlled porosity are the most promising strategy based systems for controlled drug delivery. In contrast to common tablets, these pumps provide constant (zero order) drug release rate. When these systems are exposed to water, low levels of water soluble additive is leached from polymeric material i.e. semipermeable membrane and drug releases in a controlled manner over an extended period of time. The main clinical benefits of oral osmotic drug delivery system are their ability to improve treatment tolerability and patient compliance. These advantages are mainly driven by the capacity to deliver drugs in a sustained manner, independent of the drug chemical properties, of the patient’s physiological factors or following food intake. This review brings out the theoretical concept of drug delivery, history, advantages and disadvantages of the delivery systems, types of oral osmotic drug delivery systems, factors affecting the drug delivery system and marketed products.

Leukemias are cancers of the white blood cells (leukocytes). CLL affects B cell lymphocytes. B cells originate in the bone marrow, develop in the lymph nodes, and normally fight infection by producing antibodies. Bendamustine (INN, trade names Ribomustin and Treanda; also known as SDX-105) is a nitrogen mustard used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL) and lymphomas. It belongs to the family of drugs called alkylating agents. It is also being studied for the treatment of sarcoma1. Bendamustine Hydrochloride is commercially available in the market as lyophilizzed dosage form. Also enough literature is available that Bendamustine Hydrochloride is very unstable in the liquid dosage form. It undergoes hydrolytic degradation in the presence of water2. Hence an attempt for developing a simple, aqueous and non aqueous based Bendamustine Hydrochloride formulations have been attempted.

Generally, in order to overcome the side effects of the Gastro Intestinal Track (GIT), the drug is given after meals (provided 15-30 minutes after meals). Unfortunately the present of food in gaster can significantly decrease maximum concentration (Cmax) of ciprofloxacin. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sucralfate suspension that containing alumunium (Al3+) on the absorption of oral ciprofloxacin HCl. The effects of 0.47 mL/kg body weight doses of sucralfate suspension which is containing polyvalent cations, aluminum sucrose octa sulfate on the absorption of oral ciprofloxacin HCl before a single 23 mg/kg body weight doses were investigated in 6 rabbit subjects, randomized, cross over and single blind study. The 6 rabbits were enrolled in two studies. Each subject got single ciprofloxacin HCl administration as a control treatment. Treatments that were evaluated included the administration of sucralfate with single dose of ciprofloxacin HCl concomitantly (treatment 1) and the administration of sucralfate 2 hours before ciprofloxacin HCl administration (treatment 2). The absorption parameters of ciprofloxacin HCl were determined by spectrofluorometric method using time to reach maximum concentration (tmax), Cmax and area under curve (AUC) parameters. In control treatment, the average value of Cmax, tmax, and AUC0-360 were 1.34 µg/mL ± 26.15%, 160.78 minutes ± 5.85% and 337.06 µg minutes/mL ± 14.40%. In treatment 1, the average value of Cmax, tmax, and AUC0-360 were 0.68 µg/mL ± 15.49%, 420.66 minutes ± 25.49% and 277.13 µg.minutes/mL ± 12.25%, and in treatment 2 were 0.95 µg/mL ± 18.54%, 284.93 minutes ± 15.44% and 309.75 µg.minutes/mL ± 11.71%. Statistical analysis used in this study was one-sided paired t test (α = 0.05). On the basis of these findings, ciprofloxacin HCl and sucralfate should not be administered concomitantly, but normal kinetics are restored by administering the drug 2 hours before ciprofloxacin HCl. Andrographis paniculata extract suppressed cancer cell growth by decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis.

Even though the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, acetazolamide (ACZ) has a poor solubility and penetration power (BCS Class IV), various studies mentioned in the review indicate that it is possible to successfully formulate topically effective ACZ by using: (i) High concentration of the drug, (ii) Surfactant gel preparations of ACZ, (iii) ACZ loaded into liposomes, (iv) Cyclodextrins to increase the solubility and hence bioavailability of ACZ, and Viscolyzers and other polymers either alone or in combination with cyclodextrins. With the advent of newer topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) like dorzolamide and brinzolamide, a localized effect with fewer side effects is expected. But whenever absorbed systemically, a similar range of adverse effects (attributable to sulphonamides) may occur upon use. Furthermore, oral ACZ is reported to be more physiologically effective than 2% dorzolamide hydrochloridead ministered topically, even though in isolated tissues dorzolamide appears to be the most active as it shows the lowest IC50 values for CA-II and CA-IV. Hence, there exists considerable scope for the development of more/equally effective and inexpensive topically effective formulations of ACZ. The use of various formulation technologies discussed in this review can provide a fresh impetus to research in this area.

It is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Aceclofenac is BCS class II drug with low solubility and high permeability. Micronization technique is used to increase the solubility and thus dissolution of Aceclofenac. The micronization was done using jet mill micronizer. The initial particle size of drug is 297.33 µ (D90) which was reduced to particle size 121.87 µ (D90) with single micronization, particle size 116.08 µ (D90) with double micronization and 89.23 µ (D90) with triple micronization of drug. It was observed that the solubility and thus dissolution of Aceclofenac was increased in principle media of 6.8 phosphate buffer and discriminating media 4.5 Acetate buffer with single, double and triple micronization. Thus, it can be justified that micronization is one of the good technique for enhancement of solubility of Aceclofenac by reduction of particle size of drug.

Aceclofenac is a Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used orally for treatment. According to BCS, Aceclofenac is class II compound i.e. poorly water soluble. The in vitro release pattern of LS compacts and directly compressed tablets were studied using USP-II apparatus. Different LS compacts were prepared using a mathematical model to calculate the required quantities of powder and liquid ingredients to produce acceptably flowable and compressible admixture. Avicel PH 102, Aerosil 200 and Sodium starch Glycolate were employed as carrier, coating material and disintegrant respectively for preparing LS comp. The prepared LS compacts were evaluated for their flow properties such as bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose, Carr’s compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. Liquisolid compacts demonstrated significantly higher drug release rates in dissolution media compared to tablets prepared by the direct compression method. This was due to an increase in wetting properties and surface of drug available for dissolution.

In the in vitro study, goat lenses were incubated in artificial aqueous humor containing 55 mM glucose (cataractogenesis) with aqueous extract of Asparagus racemosus root (AEAR) at different concentrations of 250 μg/ml and 500μg/ml at room temperature for 72 hours. Biochemical parameters studied in the lens were electrolytes (Na+, Ca+, and K+), total proteins, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and Catalase. Photographic evaluation was also done. AEAR significantly prevented the glucose induced changes in biochemical parameters like sodium, calcium, and potassium, total proteins, MDA, SOD, GSH and Catalase. Photographic evaluation also indicated that AEAR prevented the opacity of the lens compared to model control group in vitro. These results suggest that prevention of cataract by aqueous extract of Asparagus racemosus root may be through a mechanism involving free radical scavenging, preventing lipid peroxidation and direct antioxidative capacity.
