Over the past few decades, there has been an increased interest for innovative drug delivery systems to improve safety, efficacy and patient compliance, thereby increasing the product patent life cycle. The discovery and development of new chemical entities is not only an expensive but also time consuming affair. Hence the pharmaceutical industries are focusing on the design and development of innovative drug delivery systems for existing drugs. One such delivery system is the fast disintegrating oral film, which has gained popularity among pediatric and geriatric patients. This fast disintegrating film with many potential benefits of a fast disintegrating tablet but devoid of friability and risk of choking is more acceptable to pediatric and geriatric patients. Formulation of fast disintegrating film can be achieved by various techniques, but common methods of preparation include spraying and casting. These film forming techniques use hydrophilic film former in combination with suitable excipients, which allow the film to disintegrate or dissolve quickly in the mouth within a few seconds without the administration of water. In view of the advantages of the fast disintegrating films over the fast disintegrating tablets and other dosage forms, it has the potential for commercial exploitation. The oral film dosage form not only has certain advantages of other fast disintegrating systems but also satisfies the unmet needs of the market. The present review emphasizes on the potential benefits, design and development of robust, stable, and innovative orally fast- disintegrating films and their future scenarios on a global market as a pharmaceutical dosage form.

Background: The delivery of therapeutic agents through the oral route remains the most favorable one as compared to other routes of drug administration. However, numerous disadvantages are encountered in conventional formulations such as low bioavailability, first-pass metabolism, gastric irritation, delayed onset of action, bitter taste, low retention time, frequent dosing, and non-localized drug targeting. All these problems encountered guide the various pharmaceutical industries to manufacture and develop a novel solid oral dosage form called lozenges. Lozenges are solid oral dosage forms of medicament, meant to be dissolved within the mouth or pharynx. It may consist of one or more than one medicinal agent contained in a sweetened and flavored base material. Objective: The present review is focused on various types, compositions, methodologies used to prepare the medicated lozenges and on different evaluation parameters that establish its safety and efficacy. It also put a light on different commercially available and reported medicated lozenges formulation. Method: The various review and research articles reported by different researchers were studied extensively by using the databases of Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and various commercial websites that were also investigated for information regarding new products. Results: Lozenges provides various advantages in terms of patient compliance, rapid onset of action, prolonged retention time, enhancement of bioavailability, ease of manufacturing, localized drug targeting, sustained or controlled effect, and reduced dosing frequency. It has also the ability to incorporate the drugs belong to different therapeutic classes for treating various disorders related to oral cavities like gingivitis, dental plaque, mouth ulcers, throat pain, oral thrush, throat infection, periodontitis, and pharyngitis. However, its applicability is not only limited to localized action, but it has also been employed to deliver the drug systemically for the conditions such as cough, decongestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, allergy, low immunity, fever, body ache, the killing of worms and smoking cessation. Conclusion: It was concluded that it has been played an important role in the field of drug delivery and will continue to perform in the same way in the future as well.

The use of in situ mid-infrared spectroscopy to support the development of a pharmaceutical manufacturing process is disclosed. Data on this two-stage telescoped reaction from several reaction scales (<50 mL to 1600 liters) and at multiple manufacturing locations is shown. In addition to providing data on both reactions in the telescope, the mid-IR data has been used to monitor an intermediate distillation operation and therefore it has been possible to profile the whole process. Data is also shown on aliquot addition during the first chemical transformation, which is used to check the instrumentation.


The assay of Ampicillin is carried out by HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography) system to calculate the weight of the active constituent of the drug in this dosage form. In this work we study six samples of Ampicillin 250 mg capsule manufactured by different pharm- aceutical companies available in Iraq to evaluate the content of drug in this dosage form. This has been achieved by making calibration curve of different concentrations of stock solution, using standard ampicillin tri hydrate (Reference Standard Ampicillin) USP, we obtained different reading of the area under the peak (AUP) which followed straight – line equation.

Phenylephrine and fexofenadine are widely used products for common cold and allergic conditions. In this study, a simple, reliable, sensitive and economical Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatographic (UPLC) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of phenylephrine and fexofenadine in suspension dosage form. Efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on Acquity UPLC HSS C18 x 1.8μm column with mobile phase consisting of orthophosphoric acid buffer (pH = 2.8) and acetonitrile (55:45% v/v) at a flow rate of 0.3ml.min-1 and 1μl injection volume. TUV detector was used and detection wavelength was 272nm. The retention times of phenylephrine and fexofenadine were found to be 1.347 and 1.536 ± 0.01 mins respectively. The percentage recoveries of phenylephrine and fexofenadine were 99.93% and 99.31% respectively. The relative standard deviation for assay was found to be <2. The detection and quantification limits were found to be 0.04 and 0.13μg/ml for phenylephrine and 0.21 and 0.65μg/ml for fexofenadine respectively. Thus, the developed UPLC method was simple, rapid, sensitive and economical and it can be applied for the routine quality control analysis of combined dosage forms in quality control laboratories and in pharmaceutical industries.

AbstractCarrier networks are faced with continuous transformations of their technology platforms in order to keep up with the changing customer demands. This paper will show how the transition from stovepipe networks to layered architectures enabled the shift to a future network design based on a network operation system (NetOS) operating the ICT fabric containing merely any kind of resources. Basic, underlying concepts are presented and detailed how they will be integrated in this environment. Software components and related development and management processes are becoming an integrated part of this future carrier environment, representing a softwarization of carrier networks. Key technology enablers are Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualisation as well as general availability of compute, storage and networking resources.Existing “Network as a Service” approach benefit from this improvements with virtualization, control plane flexibility and adoption of Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) feature to the latest developments. But carrier services will need additional improvements, resulting in the the presented paradigm of “Generic Resources as a Service”. This novel concept will fulfill most demands for flexible service composition, multi-provider and -domain support, automated deployment and operation.

In India a large number of pharmaceutical industries are manufacturing drugs of complex type subsequently producing huge quantities of wastewaters. The herbal pharmaceutical industries are one of them which manufacture various herbal medicines from natural products and certain chemicals and metal combinations. During their manufacturing process a large number of toxicants enter the watercourse harming the biota of the receiving water bodies. Zooplankton organisms being at the base of the food chain if affected, will subsequently affect the fisheries potential at large, harming the interest of man. Keeping this point in view a herbal pharmaceutical manufacturing industry based at Nagpur was selected for investigation with respect to assessing its toxic effect on the freshwater crustacean Cypris spp. during short duration toxicity tests. This research paper discusses in detail the bioassay evaluation of raw, neutralized and physico-chemically treated herbal pharmaceutical effluent for arriving at a concentration safe for the Cypris spp.
