Formulation development and evaluation of Orally Disintegrating Tablets Rizatriptan Benzoate

Formulation research is oriented towards safety, efficacy and quick onset of action of existing drug molecule through novel concepts of drug delivery. Orally disintegrating tablets of Rizatriptan benzoate were prepared by direct compression method to provide faster relief from pain to migraine sufferers. About eleven formulations for the present study were carried out. Croscarmellose sodium, Crospovidone and Sodium starch glycolate (SSG) were used as superdisintegrants, while microcrystalline cellulose was used as diluent. The prepared batches of tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, wetting time, invitro dispersion time, drug content and invitro dissolution studies. The formulation containing combination of Croscarmellose sodium and Sodium starch glycolate showed rapid invitro dispersion time as compared to other formulations. The optimized formulation dispersed in 8 seconds. It also showed a higher water absorption ratio and 99.58% of drug is released within 2 minutes.

Evaluation of phytochemical constituents of some indian Medicinal plants

Phytochemical constituents (Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroid, terpenoid, flavonoids, and cardic glycoside ) of medicinal plant ( Aegle marmelos, Cynodon dactylon, Eclipta prostrata, Pongamia pinnata, Sida acuta and Tridax procumbens)with different Families were Compared and Assessed.The Importance of these plants in ethnomedicine and their Significance in Traditional Medicine and there chemical constituents were discussed

Herbs used in treatment of mouth ulcer- a review

The traditional medical study is an integral part of the culture and the perception of health by indigenous population in almost world since primordial times. India has used its knowledge of traditional or herbal medicine to prevent and cure diseases. As herbal medicine have fewer side effects in comparison with synthetic medicine they are getting increase patient compliance against allopathic medicines. Oral ulcers are very common ailment of the oral mucosal membrane. An open sore of the skin or mucus membrane lining marked by sloughing of inflamed dead tissue is known as a mouth ulcer. In this article we discuss on the topic “herbal gel for the treatment of mouth ulcer”. There is a list of herbs which contain flavonoids which are most commonly used for the treatment.

Determination of Phytoconstituents and Antimicrobial activities of aqueous and methanol extracts of Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves

Neem (Azadirachta Indica)is a plant that has been used as traditional medicine for a household remedy against various human ailments since ancient times. The objective of this study was to determine the phytoconstituents and antimicrobial activities of aqueous and methanol extracts of A. indica leaves. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis was carried out using the standard method of Association of Official Analytical Chemist and the antimicrobial activity of the concentrated extracts was evaluated by determination of the diameter of zone of inhibition against the microorganisms using the agar well diffusion method. Phytochemical screening of the leaves gave a positive result for saponins, tannins, steroids, glycoside, terpenoids, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The antimicrobial results show that both plant extracts had antimicrobial activity against the test organisms, the aqueous extracts were found to show the greater antimicrobial effect on Shigellasp (10.0±1.0 mm), Staphylococcus sp (10.0±1.0 mm), Penicilliumsp (9.2±0.8 mm) and Mould (10.2±1.3 mm) while methanol extract shows maximum efficacy on E. coli (26±1.0 mm), Vibrio sp (10.6±0.6 mm) and Yeast (9.2±0.3 mm). Therefore, these findings support the traditional knowledge of local users and it is a preliminary, scientific, validation for the use of neem leaves for the antimicrobial activity to promote proper conservation and sustainable use of the plant resources.

Development and Validation of New Analytical Method for The Simultaneous Estimation of Netupitant And Palonosetron In Pharmaceutical Dosage Form

A simple, Accurate, precise method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of the Netupitant and Palonosetron in Pharmaceutical dosage form. The chromatogram was run through Std Discovery C18250 x 4.6 mm, 5m. Mobile phase containing Buffer 0.1% OPA (2.2ph): Acetonitrile taken in the ratio 55:45 was pumped through the column at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The buffer used in this method was 0.1% OPA. The temperature was maintained at 30°C. The optimized wavelength selected was 220 nm. The retention time of Netupitant and Palonosetron was found to be 2.308min and 3.093min. %RSD of the Netupitant and Palonosetron were and found to be 0.9 and 0.6 respectively. %Recovery was obtained as 99.51% and 99.29% for Netupitant and Palonosetron respectively. LOD, LOQ values obtained from regression equations of Netupitant and Palonosetron were 1.84, 0.01, and 5.59, 0.03 respectively. Regression equation of Netupitant is y = 7232.8x + 3439.3., and y = 28857x + 97.732 of Palonosetron. Retention times were decreased and run time was decreased, so the method developed was simple and economical that can be adopted in regular Quality control tests in Industries.

A review on phytochemical and pharmacological activities of some ethnomedical plants used by tribal and folk peoples of AndhraPradesh in animal health care

Folk people are the main natives of the countryside and forests. They are always being much closed to nature. They are fully dependent on their surroundings for their basic needs. Even during diseased conditions, they mainly rely on the use of traditional medicines available in their surroundings. They believe in trees as God and use their products for their wellbeing. They have full belief in nature and their belongings. They utilized locally available plants and other natural materials for the treatment of several diseases. But this knowledge of traditional medicines is found to be confined only up to tribes and folk people of the society. Thus, it is required that such useful knowledge about indigenous medicines should be documented, popularized, and systematized for the welfare of human society. The present paper is an effort to reveal the importance of ethno medicines for tribes as well as the whole society.
