Abstract

Glimepiride is an oral anti-diabetic drug, which is mostly used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It acts by stimulating insulin secretions from the beta cells of pancreas and is also known to enhance the peripheral insulin sensitivity thereby decreasing insulin resistance. This article examines published analytical methods that are reported so far for the determination of glimepiride in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples. They include various techniques like spectrophotometry, electrochemical methods, capillary electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography, micellarelectro kinetic capillary chromatography(MECC) with diode-array detection (DAD), liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-ESI-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) and thin layer chromatography (TLC).

Abstract

Shampooing is the most common form of hair treatment. Shampoos are primarily been products aimed at cleansing the hair and scalp. In the present scenario, it seems improbable that herbal shampoo, although better in performance and safer than the synthetic ones, will be popular with the consumers. A more radical approach in popularizing herbal shampoo would be to change the consumers' expectations from a shampoo, with emphasis on safety and efficacy. The present paper emphasizes on composition, types, methods of evaluation, also a brief review on herbal shampoo formulations.

Keywords
