Ursodeoxycholic acid is a dihydroxy bile acid with a rapidly expanding spectrum of usage in acute and chronic liver diseases. The various mechanisms of action of this hydrophilic bile acid include direct cytoprotection, detergent action on dysfunctional microtubules, immunomodulation and induction of hypercholeresis.Its efficacy in primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis as an adjunct to medical therapy has been well established. Newer indications include its use in the management of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, post liver transplant rejection, graft versus-host disease and acute viral hepatitis, where it not only relieves symptoms of holestasis but also arrests ongoing hepatocyte necrosis.

The present study described the gelation temperature, gelation time, viscosity study, pH, properties of thermosensitive gel prepared of poloxamer 407 and carbopol 934P which are not affected by the concentration of each component. i.e. addition of Drugs or reference catanionic mixture. The use of Catanionic drug-surfactant mixtures was proven to be an efficient novel method of obtaining sustained drug release from Insitu gels. The effects of changes in the pH and ionic strength on the catanionic aggregates was also investigated, and this method of sustaining the release was found to be quite resilient to variations in both. Although the phase behavior was somewhat affected, large micelles and vesicles were still readily found. The drug release was significantly sustained even under NaCl. Comparing the diffusion coefficients for drugs being released from gels with those for drugs from catanionic mixtures in gels revealed differences in the order of magnitude of 10 to 100. This means that the release of a drug can be extended over time, for example, from 30 minutes to 12 hours, potentially improving both the efficiency of the formulation and the patient compliance.Keywords

In order to ascertain accumulation of heavy metals including, Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead in marketed Haematinic formulations Yavatmal City (India), investigations were performed by using atomic absorption spectrometry. The results showed heavy metals accumulation in herbal medicines procured from local market. The main purpose of the investigation was to document evidence for the users, and practitioners of marketed Haematinic formulations. WHO, (1998) mentions maximum permissible limits in raw materials only for arsenic, cadmium, and lead, which amount to 1.0, 0.3, and 10 ppm respectively. It was found that the Arsenic content was within the permissible limits given by W.H.O. The Cadmium content in HT1 (0.93 ppm), HT3 (0.56 ppm), HT4 (0.75 ppm), HT8 (1.2 ppm), HT9 (0.9 ppm), and H10 (0.7 ppm) which are above the permissible limits. The lead content in HT1,(12.7 ppm),HT2 (11.7ppm ), HT3 (12.9 ppm),HT6 (15.5 ppm),HT9 and (15.9 ppm) which are above the permissible limits. Such formulations are injurious to health of patient if consumed regularly.Keywords

Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. Cationic surfactants are basically soaps or detergents, in which the hydrophilic, or waterloving, end contains a positively-charged ion, or cation. Typical examples are trimethylalkylammonium chlorides, and the chlorides or bromides of benzalkonium and alkylpyridinium ions. All are examples of quats, so named because they all contain a quaternary ammonium ion.Keywords

Transdermal drug delivery system is emerging system as compaired to oral and parentral.in TDDS, patch system was developed to control the release of drug. Conventional transdermal drug delivery system achieved advantages over the oral and parenteral. Consequently a number of vesicular drug delivery systems such as liposomes, niosomes were been developed as novel transdermal drug delivery system. Firstly, it delivers the drug at a rate directed by the needs of the body, over the period of treatment. Secondly, it channel the active entity to the site of action. However, TDDS has limited market success due to the barrier properties of the Stratum Corneum and stability of formulation. ethosomes is better achievement in vesicular drug delivery system, helpful to achieve goal needed by NTDDS. Ethosomes are noninvasive delivery carriers that enable drugs to reach the deep skin layers and/or the systemic circulation. This review focus on introduction, mechanism of penetration, method of preparation, methods of characterization and application in the field.Keywords

Oral delivery of drug is the most preferable route of drug delivery due to ease of administration, patient compliance and flexibility in formulation etc. However, it is a well accepted fact that it is difficult to predict the real in vivo time of release with solid, oral controlled release dosage forms. Various attempts have been made to prolong the retention time of the dosage form in the stomach. One such approach is development of floating Microspheres involves preparation of a device that remains buoyant in the stomach contents due to its lower density than that of the gastric fluids.Floating microspheres are gastro-retentive drug delivery systems based on non-effervescent approach. These microspheres are characteristically free flowing powders consisting of proteins or synthetic polymers, ideally having a size less than 200 micrometer. Floating microspheres are prepared by solvent diffusion and evaporation methods to create the hollow inner core. Floating microspheres are specially gaining attention due to their wide applicability in the targeting of drugs to stomach.Keywords

In the recent years, considerable attention has been focused in the development of controlled release drug delivery system. The pellets have since long been used as an important formulation tool. Pelletization is an agglomeration process that converts fine powders or granules of bulk drugs and excipients into small , free flowing , spherical or semispherical units referred to as pellets. Pellets range in size typically, between 500- 1500 μm. When pellet containing the active ingredient are administered in vivo in the form of suspension capsule or disintegrating tablets, they offer significant therapeutic advantage over single unit dosage forms. An ideal controlled drug delivery system is the one which delivers the drug at a predetermined rate, locally, or systemically, for a specified period of time. Controlled release pellet formulation can be formulated by many techniques such as extrusion/spheronization, powder layering, solution/suspension layering etc.
Various applications of pellets in controlled drug delivery system formulation, recent developments, polymer and excipients used for formulation of controlled release drug delivery system are discussed in this review.
