Sweet corn fibres of about 15 gm were extracted with methanol for 5 hours in heating mantle at 40C and filtered and allowed to dry. The dried gel was further analyzed for estimation of Retinyl palmitate by spectrophotometrically by laboratory method and found to be 140 mg/kg. The dried extract gel was further estimated for ascorbic acid both by UV and HPTLC and found to be linear in the range of 1-5 ug/ml and 5-10ug/ml, correlation coefficient was found to be 0.997 and 0.998 and the amount of ascorbic acid was found to be 338 ng/ml and 9.9 ng/ml by UV and HPTLC respectively. The method was found to be linear.

The roots of Hemidesmus indicus, belonging to the family Ascelpidaceae, are used as blood purifier, antileucorrhoeic, galactogenic, antidiarrhoeal, antirheumatic, antisyphilitic, febrifuge and possesses chemical constituents like triterpenoids (lupeol), flavonoids, glycosides and tannins. Roots were dried and extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol by using Soxhlet apparatus. Two simple and sensitive chromatographic methods, namely, HPTLC and HPLC, were developed for determination of lupeol from the extract of H. indicus and its polyherbal formulation and validated according to ICH guidelines. The HPTLC method linear regression data for the standard lupeol a concentration range of 400-900ng/spot and correlation coefficient (r) was 0.9904. The HPLC calibration curves of standard lupeol showed good linearity range from 20 to 100μg/ml and correlation coefficient (r) was 0.9929. The HPTLC and HPLC methods are simple, precise, accurate and specific. Hence, these methods can be used for the standardization of lupeol in herbal plants and polyherbal formulations.

Determination of lanthanum in the raffinate by spectrophotometry was studied, using tribromoarsenazo as chromogenic reagent. The addition of ascorbic acid can mask the interference of other metal cations in the solution. Under the conditions of ascorbic acid (10g·L-1) 5 mL, hydrochloric acid 0.04 mol·L-1 and tribromoarsenazo (0.5g·L-1) 2 mL, Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 0-10 μg·(25mL)-1 for lanthanum, with correlation coefficient higher than 0.99. Beer’s law can be applicable for the wavelength range of 580-660 nm. There is no linear relation at too high or too low acidic environment.

Lip balm was prepared and its antioxidant activity was determined by PFRAP, CUPRAC, Flourimetry methods and results of emission spectra was examined and fournd to possess almost same concentration of 0.3 ug/ml. And the ascorbic acid was determined by HPTLC method and the Rvalue of the lip balm was found to be 0.98 and is near to the abscorbic acid sample. And hence proved that beetroot lip balm was found to possess antioxidant activityThe anti oxidant activity was determined and was found to be simple, novel and economical.

SummaryRats were subjected to the following procedures: No treatment, Stressor (10% NaCl i.p.), Warfarin for 7 days, Stressor followed by Warfarin; and groups were sacrificed at intervals for assessment of spontaneous hemorrhage and of adrenal ascorbic acid concentration. There was no hemorrhage in the no treatment and stressor groups; some hemorrhage in the warfarin group; profound hemorrhage with Warfarin + Stressor. The adrenal ascorbic acid concentration was found to be lower, 8 h and again 5 days after stress, and remained lower in the warfarin + stress animals. Warfarin had no effect on adrenal ascorbic acid level.In another series of experiments in which the stress consisted of an electric current to the cage floor for 6 sec over 15 min, rats were sacrificed daily for determination of serum corticosterone concentration and occurrence of spontaneous hemorrhage. There was a statistically significant increase of serum corticosterone concentration with stress, warfarin and combined warfarin and stress treatments (P< 0.001 for all three variables). There was a significant correlation (r = 0.96 and 0.89, P< 0.01) for serum corticosterone concentration with hemorrhage score and incidence of hemorrhage in stressed rats receiving warfarin, but not in those receiving only warfarin. The results indicate an activation, rather than an exhaustion, of the pituitary-adrenal axis during the combined action of anticoagulant and stress, which results in the development of spontaneous hemorrhage.

The present paper describes stability indicating high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) assay method for Ozagrel in bulk drugs. The method employed TLC aluminium plates precoated with silica gel 60F-254 as the stationary phase. The solvent system consisted of toluene: methanol: triethylamine (6.5: 4.0: 0.1 v/v/v). The system was found to give compact spot for Ozagrel (Rf value of 0.40 ± 0.010). Densitometric analysis of Ozagrel was carried out in the absorbance mode at 280 nm. The linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed good linear relationship with r2 = 0.999 with respect to peak area in the concentration range 30 - 120 ng/spot. The developed HPTLC method was validated with respect to accuracy, precision, recovery and robustness. Also to determine related substance and assay determination of Ozagrel that can be used to evaluate the quality of regular production samples. The developed method can also be conveniently used for the assay determination of Ozagrel in pharmaceutical formulations. The limits of detection and quantitation were 4.069 and 12.332 ng/spot, respectively by height. Ozagrel was subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, photochemical and thermal degradation. The drug undergoes degradation under acidic, basic, oxidation and heat conditions. This indicates that the drug is susceptible to acid, base hydrolysis, oxidation and heat. Statistical analysis proves that the method is repeatable, selective and accurate for the estimation of said drug. The proposed developed HPTLC method can be applied for identification and quantitative determination of Ozagrel in bulk drug and tablet formulation.

ABSTRACT We have previously suggested that the failure of the androgen-sterilized, persistent-oestrous rat to ovulate, following electrical stimulation of the median eminence structures of the hypothalamus, is due to an insufficiency in adenohypophyseal LH concentration. Using the ovarian ascorbic acid technique for quantitative determination of pituitary LH content, the present studies have demonstrated that the sterile rat pituitary gland contains one-third the LH content of the normal prooestrous gland. Furthermore, not only does progesterone priming of this persistent-oestrous rat result in a 75 % increase in LH concentration, but on hypothalamic stimulation sufficient LH is released to induce ovulation. The decrease in LH concentration which accompanies ovulation in the progesterone-primed, sterile rat is approximately 45 % of the total gland content as compared with a 51 % decrease in pituitary content in the normal cyclic rat.
