The methanolic and aqueous extract of Melhania futteyporensis leaves, at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight, were tested for antiinflammatory and wound healing activity. The carrageenan induced rat paw edema model was selected to evaluate anti-inflammatory activity. The percentage inhibition of paw edema by the extracts was found to be significant at the dose of 400 mg/kg body weight, compared to control. The exhibited anti-inflammatory activity of Melhania futteyporensis was comparable with the standard drug aspirin. The wound healing activity was evaluated by using excision wound model of albino wistar rats. The percentage of wound contraction by both the methanolic and aqueous extracts was found to be significant at the dose of 400 mg/kg body weight. The exhibited wound healing activity was comparable with the standard drug povidone iodine ointment. The extract treated wounds were found to epithelize faster as compared to controls.Keywords

A mixture of oil and surfactant (especially non-ionic) forms clear and transparent isotropic solution known as self-emulsifying system (SES). Lovastatin is HMG-CoA enzyme inhibitor. This enzyme is needed by the body to make cholesterol. Lovastatin causes cholesterol to be lost from LDL, but also reduces the concentration of circulating LDL (low density lipoprotein) particles. Animals studies demonstrated that lovastatin crosses the blood-brain and placental barriers. Elderly patients or those with renal insufficiency may have higher plasma concentrations of lovastatin after administration and may require a lower dose. SEDDS is prepared and filled in hard gelatin capsules. In vitro dissolution indicates that the release of lovastatin from SEDDS varied according to the type and ratio of the oil and surfactants. It was concluded that there was an increase in both the solubility and dissolution rate of drug in SEDDS form as compared to marketed tablet.Keywords

The phenomenon of absorption via a limited part of the GI tract has been termed the "narrow absorption window", once the dosage form passes the absorption window, the drug will be neither bioavailable nor effective. In extreme cases, drugs, e.g. methyldopa, Captopril, that are insufficiently absorbed due to narrow absorption cannot be delivered entirely, and are either given by a parentral route, or the development of such medication, which is otherwise safe and effective, is stopped altogether. Diltiazem HCL is a calcium channel blocker widely used for the treatment of angina pectoris, arrhythmias and hypertension. Its short biological half life and thus frequent administration (usually three to four times a day) makes it a potential candidate for CR: SR preparations. It has a short plasma half life of about 3 hours. Diltiazem HCL microspheres were prepared by chemical cross linking method. The microspheres were spherical, discrete and free-flowing. Encapsulation efficiency was found to be 95.62 %. Diltiazem HCL release from microspheres was slow and diffusion controlled. Good liner relationships were observed between percent coat and release rate of the microspheres.Keywords

The pain is symptomatic of some form of dysfunction and resultant inflammatory processes in the body. More than 15% of the worldwide population suffers for instance from some form of osteoarthritis and this incidence is even higher in elderly. As the world population is grows older, this incidence will continue to rise. Aceclofenac has been shown to have potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities and due to its preferential cox-2 blockade it has better safety than conventional NSAIDs with respect to adverse effects on gastrointestinal and cardiovascular system. Ethyl cellulose microspheres of Aceclofenac were prepared by emulsion- solvent evaporation technique that is an industrially feasible technique. The microspheres are spherical, discrete and free-flowing. Encapsulation efficiency was found to be 81%. Aceclofenac release from microspheres was slow and diffusion controlled. Good liner relationships were observed between percent coat and release rate of the microspheres. These microspheres were found suitable for oral controlled release.

Cordia rothii Roxb. found wild in the forest region, drupe usually single seeded containing mucilage. To isolate mucilage pulp is removed and the seed were macerated with water then filter. Acetone precipitation method is used to isolate mucilage from filtrate and dried in vacuum dryer at 40°C. The physicochemical characteristic of mucilage has performed such as swelling index, solubility, loss on drying. This study was carried out to compare the binding effects of isolated mucilage with starch. Granule properties such as angle of repose, moisture content, bulk and tapped densities and tablet properties which included weight uniformity, friability, disintegration times, and dissolution rates using standard methods. Mucilage of varying concentrations of 8, 10 and 12%w/w were used to produce aceclofenac granules by wet granulation method and compressed into tablets at arbitrary pressure load unit of 6 tons. An increase in binder concentration led to decrease in friability and increase in disintegration time of the tablets. The results indicate that mucilage obtained from Cordia rothii fruit possesses comparable binding properties.Keywords

Domperidone is a widely used antiemetic, poorly water soluble drug, erratically absorbed in stomach and possess several dissolution related problems thus it has poor bioavailability. Solubility of a drug plays a very important role in dissolution and hence absorption of drug which ultimately affects its bioavailability. Hence, by considering the facts related to drug, attempts have been made to formulate inclusion complexes using various derivative of cyclodextrins.
Inclusion complexes were prepared using methylated betacyclodextrin and hydroxy propyl betacyclodextrin in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios. Kneading, ultrasonification and physical mixture method were used for preparation of inclusion complexes. The solubility and dissolution results revealed that there was an increase in solubility and dissolution of all inclusion complexes as compared to pure drug but was highest in case of methylated betacyclodextrin in 1:1molar ratio using ultrasonification method(USM1) and with hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin in 1:2 molar ratio using ultrasonification method(USHP2).

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) provide a powerful tool towards the one-pot synthesis of diverse and complex compounds on the one hand and small and 'drug-like' heterocycles on the other hand. No other single synthesis technology enables chemists to search such large chemical spaces as provided by MCRs. This review describes various three component and four component reaction example and recent advances in the application of isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCRs) in drug discovery.Keywords

Mechanochemistry is the emerging branch of chemical science which obeys the principles of green chemistry. The power of mechanical friction is the source of energy for completion of reaction. Basically it was classified in the metallurgical sciences but due to its compatibility and ease of practice it will readily adopted in science of chemical synthesis. Organics as well as inorganic substances can be subjected to modification by virtue of it. It appears to be a science with a sound theoretical foundation which exhibits a wide range of potential application. The simplest and best example is of KBr plates; it will induced by milling and pressing of analyte with KBr to form a disk for IR spectroscopy, resulting in a change of the spectrum of the analyte. So it was worthwhile to adopt this technique in synthesis of pharmaceuticals.Keywords

An abundance of the anti-inflammatory drugs are available for use in current medicine which have an established use in the treatment of arthritis and other painful conditions, amongst them one of the novel drug is Aceclofenac. Gels are an excellent formulation for several routes of administration such as oral, topical, nasal, vaginal, and rectal. Gel can be clear formulations when all of the particles completely dissolve in the dispersing medium. But this doesn't occur in all gels, and some are therefore turbid. This need has emphasized the importance of developing a topical dosage form of such drugs.
Aceclofenac is novel non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug which have proven its effectiveness in many of painful diseased conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis etc. Like other NSAIDs it is also associated with adverse effects, majority of them are of gastrointestinal system (dyspepsia, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea). Present study was undertaken to develop an effective and stable topical formulations of Aceclofenac gel.

A simple, highly efficient and green procedure for the condensation of aryl and alkyl 1, 2-diamines with α-diketones in the presence of different catalyst at room temperature is described. And the recycled catalyst was used for the next run under identical reaction conditions. Using this method, quinoxaline derivatives as biologically interesting compounds are produced in high to excellent yields and short reaction times. Present synthesis complies with principle of Green chemistry. As part of current studies, we here in report efficient practical technique of sonication reaction (sonosynthesis). The overall progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC and characterized by IR and NMR. Compared with traditional methods, these methods are more convenient and reactions can be carried out in higher yield, shorter reaction time and milder conditions, without generation of pollution and safer to analyst. The synthesized 2, 3-diphenyle quinoxaline was confirmed by physical constant and spectroscopic studies. Low cost, reuse of worn catalyst and maximum efficiency are some advantages of this synthesis. Compared with traditional method, this method is more convenient and reactions can be carried out in higher yield, shorter reaction time and milder conditions, without generation of pollution and safer to analyst. From these features present methods can be correlated for safer and efficient synthesis of other products.Keywords
