Dear Reader,

The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has published a highly informative directory with information on Research Institutes, S&T Organisations, National Academies, Centres of Excellence, Science Centres and Science and Industry Related Associations in the country....

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors affecting especially women and globally causing around 300,000 deaths annually. It is caused by a prolonged infection with high-risk subtypes of the human papillomavirus, and viral oncoproteins such as E5, E6 and E7 collaborate with host ...

Atorvastatin calcium was complexed with soya lecithin in various ratios using the thin-film hydration method. The formulated pharmacosomes underwent quality control tests, including in vitro dissolution studies, X-ray powder diffraction for crystallinity analysis, scanning electron microscopy for...

Itraconazole is an effective antifungal drug; however, its clinical use is limited due to poor aqueous solubility and low oral bioavailability. The present study was undertaken to develop a submicron emulsion system to improve the solubility, release behavior and antifungal efficacy of itraconazo...

Embelin, a natural benzoquinone primarily used as an active phytoconstituent, is obtained from the seeds of Embelia ribes, family Primulaceae. In vitro pharmacological activities of embelin are well documented, with diverse effects. Although data from clinical studies on embelin are limited, the ...

This research focuses on the development and validation of a simple RP-HPLC-PDA for the metoprolol succinate (MET) quantification in both bulk and mouth-dissolving films (MDFs). Utilizing an Inertsil ODS3 column and a 0.02 % V/V formic acid and acetonitrile (85:15 V/V) mobile phase at 1.2 mL min-...

This research study validates the potential role of an active compound, octanoic acid (M1), eluted from the secondary metabolites of the marine bacterial isolate Acinetobacter baumannii. The 1 H and C13- NMR spectra of the eluted octanoic acid correlated with the previously reported saturated sho...

In this work, we present a UV spectroscopy-based method for estimating metformin hydrochloride (MFN) and thymoquinone (TQ) in combinatorial dual drug-loaded nanoparticles designed for brain cancer treatment. The nanoparticles co-deliver thymoquinone and metformin hydrochloride, leveraging their s...
