Capillary electrophoresis is a rapid, flexible and effective separation technique with minimum requirement of sample and chemicals. This article focuses on recent advances in capillary electrophoresis, covering various preconcentration techniques, methods, injection techniques, detection techniqu...

A new series of dihydro-1, 2-oxazole coumarin derivatives (SR1-SR10) was prepared using a multi-step reaction. The syntheses of intermediates coumarinyl chalcones and final compounds were characterized by IR, Mass, and 1 H NMR spectra. The final compound’s SR1-SR10 binding mode and its inhibito...

In the present study solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) of simvastatin were formulated using glyceryl monostearate and stearic acid in the ratio of 1:1 by applying 32 factorial design. The SLNs were optimized to check the effect of melted lipid and surfactant concentration on particle size and entr...

Renal calculi, one of the most common social problems caused by incorrect urine elimination. By the process of excretion of urine in excess quantity, Mutrala drugs help in the removal of renal stones through the urine or lessen their size. A novel decoction was prepared by ingredients having diur...

Stability of the marker compound is important so as to ensure claimed bioactivity and it also helps to predict the shelf life of the drug/formulation with respect to the active constituents. Eclipta alba (Asteraceae) is an important ingredient in various polyherbal/ayurvedic formulations. Wedelol...

Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the quantitative determination of saxagliptin (SXG) in human urine was developed and validated to support clinical studies. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Inertsil® column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 µm). Isocrati...

Molnupiravir, a broad-spectrum antiviral is an isopropyl ester prodrug of β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine. Molnupiravir targets RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase enzyme of the viruses. A new stability-indicating HPLC-method was developed to determine related substances and assay of molnupiravir. Separation wa...

The objective of this investigation was to assess the effect of prunetin in D-galactose-induced brain aging in rats and its regulating mechanisms. D-galactose (200 mg kg-1 body wt.) was given orally daily for 45 days to accelerate aging, and prunetin (10, 20,40, and 80 µg kg-1 body wt. respectiv...

In the present research work, a simple, accurate and precise spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of gefitinib in bulk and its tablets dosage form. Gefitinib was dissolved in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid and absorbance was measured at 252.0 nm. The calibration curve obeye...

The present era is witnessing a renaissance of herbal products due to the credence of having no or minimal adverse effects allied with them. The present lifestyle (stress, anxiety, lack of nutritious diet, lethargy, unusual sleep pattern etc.) as well as pollution triggers the hair loss not only ...
