Curcumin, Ginkgo biloba and Ocimum scantum are traditionally used for the treatment of cardiovascular and hepatic disorders. The effects of curcumin, Ginkgo biloba and Ocimum sanctum were studied [acute (4 days) and chronic (60 days)] alone and in combination (60 days) on isoproterenol (ISO) indu...

Simple, novel UV-spectrophotometric methods have been developed and validated for the estimation of etomidate imparting a hydrotropic solublization phenomenon. Etomidate is an imidazole derivative, approved as a short acting intravenous anesthetic having poor water solubility. As the UV-spectroph...

The aim of this study was to improve the bioavailability by enhancing the solubility of efavirenz, a poor water soluble, anti-viral drug by using liquisolid technique. Different liquisolid formulations were prepared by using various non-volatile hydrophilic solvents. Microcystalline cellulose (Av...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate carboxy methyl tamarind kernal powder as a novel drug release retarding agent. To evaluate the same, sustained release matrix tablets of stavudine were prepared by using HPMC K4M and carboxy methyl tamarind kernal powder, by using a direct compression ...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate in vitro antimicrobial activity of the successive leaf extracts of Cynodon dactylon in petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, ethanol, methanol and water, against various gram positive & gram negative bacterial strains using zone of inhibition. B...

A simple, precise, accurate and robust RP-HPLC-PDA method was developed and validated for the determination of rilpivirine hydrochloride in tablet dosage forms. Reverse-phase chromatography was performed on a BDS hypersil (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 6 μm) column of Waters HPLC with Empower software and w...
