Chikungunya virus is an insect-borne virus, of the genus Alphavirus, that is transmitted to humans by virus-carrying Aedes mosquitoes. The virus causes an illness with symptoms similar to dengue fever with an acute febrile phase of the illness which lasts only two to five days. Infection can affect the nervous system or the musculo-skeletal system. General symptoms include fever, headache, maculopapular rash, arthralgia, myalgia, photophobia and lymphadenopathy. Virus isolation provides the most definitive diagnosis. The most effective means of prevention are protection against contact with the disease-carrying mosquitoes and mosquito control. NSAIDs, chloroquine and DNA vaccine are the effective medicines.Keywords

Alzheimer disease (AD), though not a life threatening disease but increase the morbidity rate of an individual. It can be very well correlated with the retrograde amnesia. But specifically as it is encountered in elder subjects, it is represented as Senile Dementia. The earliest observable symptoms are often mistakenly thought to be 'age-related' concerns, or manifestations of stress. In the early stages, the most commonly recognized symptom is memory loss, such as difficulty in remembering recently learned facts. When a doctor or physician has been notified, and AD is suspected, the diagnosis is usually confirmed with behavioral assessments and cognitive tests, often followed by a brain scan if available. As the disease advances, symptoms include confusion, irritability and aggression, mood swings, language breakdown and long-term memory loss is also assumed. Gradually, bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death. It is found that some plaque is present in the brain. One area of clinical research is focused on treating the underlying disease pathology by reduction of amyloid beta levels is a common target of compounds under investigation. Immunotherapy or vaccination for the amyloid protein is one treatment modality under study. Unlike preventative vaccination, the putative therapy would be used to treat people already diagnosed.Keywords

Alzheimers disease very basically is characterized by the loss of the cognitive functions. β-amyloid is a major histopathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The disease is characterized by extracellular neuritic plaque composed of fibrillar-amyloid peptide and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles containing hyperphosphorylated tau. The peptides are generated by successive proteolysis of beta amyloid precursor protein, a large transmembrane glycoprotein that is initially cleaved by the site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme -1 and subsequently by gamma secretase in the transmembrane domain. Retinoic acid is active metabolite of Vitamin A. Deprivation of Vitamin A results in amyloid-β accumulation, loss of hippocampal long term potentiation and memory deficit, all of which are hall mark of Alzheimers disease. Here we focused a role of retinoic acid on different pathophysiological features of Alzheimers disease. Retinoic acid may play an active role in treating neurodegenerative disorder. Retinoids appear to normalize many pathological states, and clinical side effects presently reported are mostly not serious except for retinoic acid syndrome.Keywords

Buccal route offers the advantage of avoiding first pass metabolism. Saxagliptin Hydrochloride in conventional dosage form is extensively metabolized by the liver. The Saxagliptin Hydrochloride is antidiabetic agent used in the treatment of type-II Diabetes mellitus. The oral bioavailability is 67%. The half-life of saxagliptin Hydrochloride is 2.5 hours and it undergoes hepatic metabolism. So, in order to improve the bioavailability and efficacy, we have prepared buccal patches of saxagliptin Hydrochloride. HPMC is one the polymers which is having good mucoadhesive property so therefore various formulations were developed by using release rate controlling HPMC K100M and Eudragit RL-100 by Solvent Casting technique. In addition to this propylene glycol - 400 was used as plasticizer and permeation enhancer respectively. Drug-excipients interaction study was proven if any. Buccal patches were characterized for number of parameters like Mechanical properties and , weight uniformity, thickness, Percent moisture loss, folding endurance, swelling index, surface pH, drug content uniformity, in-vitro residence time, drug-excipients interaction study, Mucoadhesive strength and in-vitro drug release study. 32 full factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables. The response of design was analyzed using Design Expert® trial version 7.0.0; and the tools of the software were used to draw Contour plot and 3D plot. On the basis of the software analysis, formulation F7 was selected as optimized formulation and evaluated for independent parameters. Optimized formulation showed 98.35 ± 0.52% dug release upto 6 hrs. Optimized formulation fulfils all necessary attributes required for Buccal Patch and can become a promising alternative to present marketed tablet of Saxagliptin Hydrochloride.Keywords

Microspheres are characteristically free flowing powders consisting of proteins or synthetic polymers having a particle size ranging from 1-1000 μm. The range of Techniques for the preparation of microspheres offers a variety of opportunities to control aspects of drug administration and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of a given drug. There are various approaches in delivering a therapeutic substance to the target site in a sustained controlled release fashion. One such approach is using microspheres as carriers for drugs also known as microparticles. It is the reliable means to deliver the drug to the target site with specificity, if modified, and to maintain the desired concentration at the site of interest. Microspheres received much attention not only for prolonged release, but also for targeting of anticancer drugs. In future by combining various other strategies, microspheres will find the central place in novel drug delivery, particularly in diseased cell sorting, diagnostics, gene and genetic materials, safe, targeted and effective in vivo delivery and supplements as miniature versions of diseased organ and tissues in the body.Keywords

Liquisolid system is a novel concept of drug delivery via oral route. Solubility is the phenomenon of dissolution of solid in liquid phase and is one of the important parameter to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological response. Poorly water soluble compound’s oral administration often require high doses in order to reach therapeutic plasma concentrations because insufficient dissolution rate of the drug is the limiting factor in the oral bioavailability and one of the most challenging aspects of drug development. Design of this technique was according to new mathematical model proposed by Spireas et al. The drug is dissolved or dispersed in suitable non-volatile solvent and this liquid medication is converted to free flow powder by using carrier and coating material. To this suitable excipients were added and tabletting by direct compression. In this case, even though the drug is in a solid dosage form, it is held within the powder substrate in solution or, in a solubilized, almost molecularly dispersed state, which contributes to the enhanced drug dissolution properties. Large scale production of fabricated drug on commercial level. Succesful liquisolid tablet is a determination of optimal flowable liquid retention.Keywords

Absorption process is develop in biological system to getting required organic and inorganic chemicals in to systemic circulation and maintain bioavailability. The bioavailability issue can be due to insufficient solubility or permeability. Most compounds face the solubility problems. Hence, with the advancement of chemical science, the need of development of pharmaceutical technologies is also increasing and it depend upon drug to drug. The drug exhibit very poor aqueous solubility the rate at which drug dissolve in gastro intestinal tract and exhibit rate limiting step. Oral route is the most desirable and preferred method of administering therapeutic agents for their systemic effect On the basis of solubility, drugs are classified into four classes of the BCS classification. Solubility challenges are faced in the Class II and Class IV of the BCS system. To improve solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drug we use various methods or techniques. Various techniques are used for the enhancement of the solubility of poorly soluble drugs which include physical and chemical modifications of drug and other methods like particle size reduction, crystal engineering, salt formation, solid dispersion, use of surfactant, complexation, and so forth. Selection of solubility improving method depends on drug property, site of absorption, and required dosage form characteristics.Keywords

At present oral route is one of the most widely accepted route of drug administration, but owing to its drawbacks of low bioavailability as a result of hepatic first pass metabolism a new system was introduced for controlled delivery of drug. Transdermal drug delivery has been accepted as a potential non-invasive route of drug administration, with advantages of prolonged therapeutic action, decreased side effects, easy use and better patient compliance. Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) involves drug transport to viable epidermal and/or dermal tissue of the skin for local therapeutic effect while a major fraction of drug is transported into systemic blood circulation. Transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into the bloodstream. An advantage over other routes is that the patch provides a controlled release of medication into the patient, usually through either a porous membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin layers of medication embedded in the adhesive. The present review describes various types of Transdermal patches, permeation strategies, their methods of preparation, evaluation techniques and their future trends.Keywords

Niosomes or non ionic surfactant are microscopic lamellar structures which may be unilamellar or multilamellar. These are amphiphillic in nature, hence capable of entrapping both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs for their controlled delivery. Niosomes are formulated by hydration of the lipid by the aqueous phase which may be either single surfactant or a mixture of surfactant with cholesterol. Stability of niosomes is greater as compared with other novel drug delivery techniques. Niosomes are widely used for delivery of many drugs especially in treatment of life threatening diseases, site specific targeting can be achieved with niosomes, and they are also used in diagnostic imaging purpose. This study is based upon the recent advances by which niosomes can be formulated and their application in controlled and effective delivery of variousdrugs. Niosomes represent a promising drug delivery module. They present a structure similar to liposome and hence they can represent alternative vesicular systems with respect to liposomes, due to the niosome ability to encapsulate different type of drugs within their multi environmental structure. Niosomes are thoughts to be better candidate's drug delivery as compared to liposomes due to various factors like cost, stability etc. Various types of drug deliveries can be possible using niosomes like targeting, ophthalmic, topical, parenteral, etc.Keywords

In recent years scientific and technological advancements have been made in the research and development of novel drug delivery systems by overcoming physiological troubles such as short gastric residence times and unpredictable gastric emptying times. Floating drug delivery systems are designed to prolong the gastric residence time after oral administration, at particular site and controlling the release of drug especially useful for achieving controlled plasma level as well as improving bioavailability. Floating drug delivery systems are the systems which are retained in the stomach for a longer period of time and there by improve the bioavailability of drug. The single unit dosage forms have the disadvantage of a release all or nothing during emptying process while the multiple unit particulate system pass through the GIT to avoid the vagaries of gastric emptying and thus release the drug more uniformly. The uniform distribution of these multiple unit dosage forms along the GIT could result in more reproducible drug absorption and reduced risk of local irritation. The purpose of designing multiple-unit dosage form is to develop a reliable formulation that has all the advantages of a single-unit form and also is devoid of any of the above mentioned disadvantages of single unit formulations. This review explains briefly about advantages, disadvantages, mechanism, types, factors, evaluation and application of these systems.Keywords

Many agents are applied to the skin deliberately with beneficial outcomes. Conventional formulations intended for topical and dermatological administration of drugs such as creams, foams, gels and lotions are considered to reside for a relatively short period of time at the targeted site. The localized treatment of body tissues, diseases and wounds requires that the particular pharmaceutical component be maintained at the site of treatment for an effective period of time. Sweat, clothing, movements and getting washed away easily on contact with water are some of the problems that have limited the effectiveness and residence time of conventional topical formulations for treatment of fungal infections of skin. This necessitates longer treatment duration. Hence, a composition that adheres to skin surface afflicted and provides localized delivery of an antifungal agent is needed. The present work aims at designing and formulating a 'film- forming lotion' which on application will form a thin transparent film on the skin. Eudragit RL 100 and HPMC K4M was used to form a matrix film. The formulations were prepared using 32 full factorial design. They were tested for drying time, drug release, antifungal activity, skin irritation and stability studies. The gel was characterised for pH, viscosity, drug content, effective dosage volume and mechanical properties of the film formed after application; bioadhesion and water vapour permeability were also tested. All the formulations showed results within acceptable range for various tests. The optimized formulation showed drug release of 99.64% and antifungal activity in terms of efficacy as 98.72%. Such a formulation can be claimed to decrease duration of therapy, will be more accepted by the patients and be a breakthrough in treating fungal infections of the skin.Keywords

Conventional topical formulations are intended to work on the surface of the skin. Normally, upon application such formulations release their active ingredients and producing a highly concentrated layer of active ingredient that is quickly absorbed. Therefore, need exists for a system to increase the amount of time that an active ingredient is present either on skin surface as well as within the epidermis, at the same time, minimizing its transdermal penetration in the body. Recently, microsponge delivery system (MDS) has been successively addressed for the controlled release of drugs onto the epidermis with assurance that the drug remains chiefly localized and does not enter the systemic circulation in major amounts. MDS is a unique technology for the controlled release of topical agents, also use for oral as well as biopharmaceuticals (peptides, proteins and DNA based therapeutics) drug delivery. This review article covers methods of preparation, release mechanism, characterization and applications of microsponge delivery system with patent information and marketed formulations.- Recent Research on Matrix Tablets for Controlled Release-A Review

Oral drug delivery is the leading and the oldest segment of the total drug delivery system in the market. It is the greatest growing and most favored route for drug administration so oral controlled release of drugs becomes a very promising approach for drugs that having the shorter half-life and high dose frequency. Matrix tablets are an interesting option and new break through when developing an oral controlled release drugs delivery system. The use of various classes of release rate retardants like hydrophilic, hydrophobic, polymers and their degradation products are focused also. Release of drugs from matrices formulated with hydrophobic polymers is slower than from matrices formulated with hydrophilic Polymers.
The present article contains a brief review of various formulation approaches used in controlled release drug delivery systems, the role of polymers in the controlled delivery of many fast release drugs and the mechanism of drug release from these polymeric matrices. The oral controlled release system of many drugs has been known to be an essential part of formulation development in drug delivery systems. It has been the focus of pharmaceutical research for many years due to its various advantages over conventional dosage forms. Administering the drug for release in the blood at a controlled rate, to maintain relatively constant drug levels in plasma over a controlled period of time, can overcome many problems associated with conventional dosage forms. The applicability of these dosage forms is due to reduction in the frequencies of drug dosing, which lead to patient convenience and compliance. In addition, a reduction of wide fluctuations in plasma drug concentration peak can be obtained. As a result, toxicity and poor efficacy can be avoided, especially with drugs of narrow therapeutic indices. Such problems, associated with conventional dosage forms of many drugs, can be overcome by using controlled release drug delivery systems, to deliver the drug for absorption at a controlled rate over an extended period of time. The controlled release dosage form should be tailored so that variations in the components can lead to predictable alterations in the drug release profiles. Various controlled release drug delivery systems have different mechanisms to control the drug release rate, such as the osmotic pump, ion exchange resin and matrix systems which have been widely utilized as controlled release drug delivery approaches. Besides, polymers have often been used in the components of controlled release drug delivery systems.

Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, and have been extensively studied for their potential carrier capabilities for the delivery of drugs. Such drug-loaded carrier erythrocytes are prepared simply by collecting blood samples from the organism of interest, separating erythrocytes from plasma, entrapping drug in the erythrocytes, and resealing the resultant cellular carriers, these carriers are called resealed erythrocytes. Among the various carriers used for targeting drugs to various body tissues, the cellular carriers meet several criteria desirable in clinical applications, among the most important being biocompatibility of carrier and its degradation products. Carrier erythrocytes, resealed erythrocytes loaded by a drug or other therapeutic agents, have been exploited extensively in recent years for both temporally and spatially controlled delivery of a wide variety of drugs and other bioactive agents owing to their remarkable degree of biocompatibility, biodegradability and a series of other potential advantages. Leucocytes, platelets, erythrocytes, nano erythrocytes, hepatocytes, and fibroblast etc. have been proposed as cellular carrier systems. Among these, the erythrocytes have been the most investigated and have found to possess greater potential in drug delivery. In this review article, the potential applications of erythrocytes in drug delivery have been reviewed with a particular stress on the studies and laboratory experiences on successful erythrocyte loading and characterization of the different classes of biopharmaceuticals.Keywords

The Overall prevalence rate for CNS pathology has demonstrated that approximately 1.5 billion people under going from disorders of central nervous system. The most distressing fact about delivery of drugs to the CNS is the presence of blood brain barrier that have a tendency to impair the drug distribution and denotes the major impediment for the development of CNS drugs. Neuropeptides and many drugs which are hydrophilic in nature, possibly will encompass the intricacy while passing the blood brain barrier. The net amount of delivered drug (medicinal agent) and its capability to gain access to the pertinent target sites are the main considering points for CNS drug development. In order to distribute the drugs into the CNS via passing the blood brain barrier, many new emerging approaches have been developed for example Magnetic drug targeting, chemical delivery Systems, Drug carrier systems (antibodies, liposomes or Nanoparticles). Among drug carrier system, Nanoparticles exhibit an impressive attention in the field of targeted drug delivery system because of possessing solid colloidal particles with a size range between 1- 1000nm. Gradual drug release reduced peripheral toxicity and potential totarget specific brain sites by crossing the blood brain barrier are major benefits contributed by Nanoparticles. In this review we will discuss the methodologies for targeting the brain site.Keywords

Niosomes are non-ionic surfactant formation of vesicles by hydrating mixture of cholesterol and other lipids with or without incorporation. They are vesicular system that can be used as carriers of amphiphilic and lipophilic drugs. Niosomes are biodegradable, biocompatible, nonimmunogenic and exhibit flexibility in their structural characterization. Niosomes are preferred over liposomes because the former exhibit high chemical stability and economy. Different novel approaches used for delivering these drugs include liposomes, microspheres, nanotechnology, microemulision antibody loaded drug delivery, implantable pumps and niosomes. Niosomes are widely studied as an alternative to liposomes. They improve the therapeutic performance of the drug molecules by delayed clearance from the circulation, protecting drug from biological environment and restricting effects to target cells. This review article focuses on the advantages, disadvantages, preparation methods, factors affecting, characterizations, invitro methods, drug release kinetics, and application of niosomes.Keywords

The oral route is the most frequently used route for the administration of drugs. Many of the pharmaceutical dosage form are formulated as sustained release dosage form to retard the release of a therapeutic agent such that its appearance in the systemic circulation is prolonged and its plasma profile is sustained in duration. Tablets offer the lowest cost approach to sustained and controlled release dosage forms. Matrix tablets serves as an important tool for oral extended- release dosage forms. Hence, problems like patient compliance, drug targeting, local side effects, frequent administration and fluctuations in blood concentration levels. Conventional drug delivery systems are known to provide a prompt release of drug or immediate release drug product. Such immediate release products result in relatively rapid drug absorption and onset of accompanying pharmacodynamic effects. Hence, change in the operation is a suitable and optimized way to make the some drug more effective by slight alteration in the drug delivery. Pharmaceutical industries and academic laboratories have been focused on development of novel drug delivery system or modified release dosage form rather investigation and development of new drug. Advance in technology have resulted in novel modified release dosage form. In contrast to conventional form, modified release products provide either delayed release or extended release of drug.Keywords

Nasal therapy also called "Nasya Karma" has been recognized form of treatment in the Ayurvedic. System of Indian Medicine. Nowadays many drugs have better systemic bioavailability through nasal route as compared to oral administration. The nose is also considered an attractive route for needle-free vaccination and for systemic drug delivery, especially when rapid absorption and effect are desired. The nasal delivery is a feasible alternative to oral or parenteral administration for some drug because of the high permeability of the nasal epithelium, rapid drug absorption across this membrane and avidance of first pass metabolism. Prolonged drug delivery can be achieved by various new dosage forms like in-situ gel. In-situ forming polymeric formulation are drug delivery system that is in sol form before administration in the body, but once administered, undergoes gelation in-situ to form a gel. In-situ nasal drug delivery system is the type of mucoadhesive drug delivery system. Now a days insitu gel has been used as vehicle for the drug delivery of the drug for both local treatment and systemic effect. In-situ nasal gel drug delivery system is advantageous over the conventional drug delivery system like sustained and prolonged release of drug, reduced frequency of administration, improved patient compliance and comfort.Keywords

The poor bioavailability and therapeutic response exhibited by conventional ophthalmic solutions due to rapid precorneal elimination of drug may be overcome by the use of ophthalmic gel systems. The purpose of the present study was to develop ophthalmic gel formulations of ketoconazole. Intraocular delivery of topically applied drugs such as ketoconazole is hampered by elimination of the solution due to tear turnover, so an mucoadhesive gel was formulated. Ketoconazole gels were prepared using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) as a mucoadhesive polymer and xanthan gum as a viscosity increasing agent. Gels were evaluated for various parameters like appearance, pH, drug content, gel strength, bioadhesion, viscosity, In-vitro drug release, isotonisity, sterility, antifungal activity, ocular irritancy and stability studies. The gel strength, bioadhesion and isotonisity shown quality parameter for ophthalmic formulation. The optimized formulation containing 1% w/v Na CMC and 0.2% w/v xanthan gum have shown 97.66% drug release up to 8 hrs. This is sufficient for antifungal activity. Diffusion studies have shown that a Korsmeyers-peppas is the best-fit model. This study found that an optimized formulation having improved viscosity and better mucoadhesive property may improve the bioavaibility of ocular administration of ketoconazole in gel form and can be alternative to the conventionally administered oral formulation and effectively used to prolong residence time.Keywords

Trichopus zeylanicus Gaertn is a perennial herb belongs to the family Trichopodaceae popularly known as "Arogyapacha" or 'Arokyapachilai" in Malayalam literally meaning "the green that gives strength". A critical survey of the Ayurveda classics, suggests that the 'Arogyappacha' may be the divine 'Varahi'described by Sushruta. Geographically the plant is available in Agasthyar hills in the Western Ghats, Kerala, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Southwestern Ghats Mountains of South India. The herb grows on sandy soil near rivers and stream in shady places in low land and intermediate altitude forests. Various ancient Ayurveda classics, the authors have come across with some descriptions of a plant which matched strikingly with 'Arogyappacha' Sushruta, while dealing with the various divine drugs along with 'Some' also described one 'Varahi' - which he described as 'Kandha sambhava' -rhizomatous, 'Ekapatra' single leaves arising from a stem and 'Anjana samaprabha' - shining like he grey-black stone. Ethnopharmacological studies claimed that, the oral LD50 were found to be more than 3000mg/kg, with no signs of abnormalities or any mortality observed for 15 days period. Seeds of Trichopus zeylanicus showed a potent adaptogenic or antistress properties against a variety of stresses in both rats and mice. Treatment with Trichopus zeylanicus protected mice from tumour cell growth. Trichopus zeylanicus extract has been evaluated for its antihepatotoxic and cholerectic activities in rats. The effects of Trichopus zeylanicus on reactive oxygen species induced plasmid DNA (pBR322) cleavage were also investigated. Trichopus zeylanicus contains NADH, polyphenols and sulfhydryl compounds, which have the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species.Keywords

Osmotically controlled drug delivery systems (OCDDS) are most promising systems for controlled drug delivery. Osmotically controlled drug delivery systems utilize osmotic pressure for controlled delivery of active agents. Various patents are available for osmotic drug delivery system like Rose and Nelson pump, Higuchi Leeper pump, Higuchi Theeuwes pump, Elementary osmotic pump etc. Various techniques available for preparation of OCDDS include push pull osmotic pump, Osmotic bursting osmotic pump, Liquid OROS, Telescopic capsule for delayed release, OROS-CT (colon targeting), and Sandwiched osmotic tablet system. These systems can be used for systemic as well as targeted delivery of drugs. Drug delivery from these systems, to a large extent, is independent of physiological factors of GI tract. Release of drug from formulation is depends on various formulation factors such as solubility of drug, osmotic pressure generated in the system, size of the drug delivery orifice, nature and thickness of rate controlling membrane. The present review article mainly focus on the basic components of osmotically controlled drug delivery system, various factors governing drug release from these systems and types of osmotically controlled drug delivery systems. Osmotic drug delivery systems differ from diffusion based systems in that the delivery of the active agents is driven by an osmotic gradient rather than the concentration of drug in the device.Keywords

Nanosuspensions are important carriers to develop novel drug formulations. Nanosuspensions have emerged as a promising strategy for the efficient delivery of hydrophobic drugs because of their versatile features and unique advantages. Nanosuspension technology solved the problem of drugs which are poorly aqueous soluble and less bioavailability. Stability and bioavailability of the drugs can be improved by the Nanosuspension technology. Techniques such as media milling and high pressure homogenization have been used commercially for producing nanosuspensions. Nanosuspensions can be delivered by oral, parenteral, pulmonary and ocular routes.Nanosuspensions can also be used for targeted drug delivery when incorporated in the Ocular inserts and mucoadhesive hydrogels. Currently, efforts are being directed to extending their applications in site-specific drug delivery.Keywords

Enhancement of solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability of drug is a very challenging task in drug development, nearly 40% of the new chemical entities currently being discovered are poorly water soluble drugs. The solubility behavior of the drugs remain one of the most challenging aspects in formulation development. This results in important products not reaching the market or not achieving their full potential. Solid dispersion is one of the techniques adopted for the formulation of such drugs and various methods are used for the preparation of solid dispersion. Solid dispersion is generally prepared with drug which is having poor aqueous solubility and hydrophilic carrier. This article review various methods and concept of solid dispersion, criteria for drug selection, advantage and disadvantage, characterization, and application.- In-Situ Nasal Gel-A Review

Over the few decades, advances in the in-situ gel technologies have spurred development in many medical and biomedical applications including controlled drug delivery. Many Novel In-Situ gel based delivery matrices have been designed and fabricated to fulfill the ever increasing needs of the pharmaceutical and medical fields. In-Situ gel drug delivery systems are sol form before administration in the body, but once administered, undergo gelation in-situ, to form gel. The formation of gel depends on factors like temperature modulation, pH change, presence of ions from which drug get released in sustained and controlled manner. In-Situ gels exhibit the properties of linear polymer solutions outside the body (allowing easy injection) but gel In-Situ within the body, providing prolonged drug release profiles. Recently, it has been shown that many drugs have better bioavailability by nasal route than the oral route. This has been attributed to reach vasculature and highly permeable structure of nasal mucosa coupled with avoidance of Hepatic-first pass metabolism. Thus this review focuses on nasal drug delivery, various aspects of nasal anatomy and physiology, nasal absorption mechanism, and In-Situ gels evaluations.Keywords

The aim of present work research work was formulation and evaluation of stable montelukast sodium sublingual tablet. Since The thermal stress testing study of Monte in solutions at 65°C showed that it is highly stable in NaOH solution, while it degrades rapidly in both acidic and H2O2 solutions. Hence lyophilization technology was adopted to increase the stability of montelukast sodium. Before lyophilization three trials were carried out to optimize the process parameters in which Trial 2 was considered as optimized process. The Lyophilization was carried out in nine different batches by varying the total cycle time, freezing and holding time, primary drying and secondary drying time by maintaining the quantities of all the active pharmaceutical ingredients constant and selection of cryoprotectant ratio. An optimized lyophilization cycle of 56 hours has been achieved. The optimized lyophilized product was subjected to Tablet compression. In this process the batch-9 formulation was considered as an optimized Formulation for compression with the process. All the in-vitro evaluation parameters complies the limits as per the specification. Stability studies were conducted and from the result it was concluded that the optimized formulation was found to be stable. Finally, it is concluded that the lyophilization is a suitable technique to increase the stability and bioavailability of Montelukast sodium.Keywords

Research Journal of Topical and Cosmetic Sciences, Vol 8, No 1 (2017), Pagination: 19-29Abstract
The localized treatment of diseases of body tissues requires that the pharmaceutical active be maintained at the site of treatment for an effective period of time. Sweat, clothing, movements and getting washed away easily on contact with water are some of the problems that have limited the effectiveness and residence time of conventional topical formulations for treatment of fungal infections of skin. This necessitates longer treatment duration. Hence, a composition that adheres to skin surface afflicted and provides localized delivery of an antifungal agent is needed. The present work aims at designing a dosage form of Miconazole nitrate referred to as a ‘film-forming gel’ which on application forms a thin, transparent film on skin surface. Eudragit RS PO and hydroxypropyl cellulose were used in combination to provide a matrix film that would permit the release of the antifungal agent for a prolonged time. The formulations were prepared using 32 full factorial design. They were tested for drying time, drug release, antifungal activity, skin irritation and stability studies. The gel was characterised for pH, viscosity, drug content, effective dosage volume and mechanical properties of the film formed after application; water vapour permeability were also tested. All the formulations showed results within acceptable range for various tests. The optimized formulation showed drug release of 99.76% and antifungal activity in terms of efficacy as 98.78%. Such a formulation can be claimed to decrease duration of therapy, will be more accepted by the patients and be a breakthrough in treating fungal infections of the skin.Keywords
