Evaluation of the Effect of Hydroalcoholic Extracts of Cassia Occidentalis Leaves in Neutrophil Adhesion Test in Rats

Evaluation of the effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of Cassia occidentalis leaves in neutrophil adhesion test in Rats. The effect of oral administration of hydroalcoholic extract of Cassia occidentalis leaves on neutrophil has been studied and is compared with control group on rats. The differential leukocyte count (DLC) was performed by fixing the blood smears and staining with leucofine and percent neutrophils in each sample was determined. After the initial counts, blood samples were incubated with 80 mg/ml of nylon fibers for 10 min at 37ºC. Supplementation with hydroalcoholic extract of Cassia occidentalis leaves significantly decreased neutrophil adhesion. The results indicate that the leaf of Cassia occidentalis is endowed with protected neutrophil adhesion. These effects could conclude that Cassia occidentalis has an antiasthmatic property.

Stability Indicating HPLC Method for the Determination of Delamanid in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form

Delamanid is successfully used for treatment of MDR TB. A stability indicating analytical method has been developed and validated. In this study Delamanid was degraded under different stress test conditions as per International Conference on Harmonization. The degraded samples were used to develop a stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the Delamanid. The Delamanid was well separated from degradation products using a reversed-phase Hypersil BDS C18 (250 mm × 4.6mm i.d., 5µm) column and a mobile phase comprising of 0.01M pH 2.70 Phosphate Buffer: Acetonitrile (pH 3.50) 70:30, pH of mobile phase was adjusted with Glacial acetic acid and other HPLC parameters were flow rate 1 mL/min, detection wavelength 254 nm and injection volume 10 µl. The method was validated for linearity, precision, accuracy, ruggedness and robustness. Results obtained after validation study indicating that the proposed single method allowed analysis of Delamanid in the presence of their degradation products formed under a variety of stress conditions. The developed procedure was also applicable to the determination of stability of the Delamanid in commercial pharmaceutical dosage form.

Evaluation of Efficacy of Cucumis melo in Gentamycin and CPD Induced Urolithiasis on Rats

Evaluation of the efficacy of methanolic extract of Cucumis melo in urolithiasis induced by gentamycin and calculi producing diet on Wistar rats. Gentamycin (40 mg/kg, subcutaneously) and calculi-producing diet (CPD) was fed to induce urolithiasis on Wistar rats. The effect of oral administration of methanolic extract of Cucumis melo seed on calcium oxalate urolithiasis has been studied and is compared with the effect of oral administration of Cystone as standard on Wistar rats. Gentamycin and CPD feeding resulted in hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate deposition as well as increased renal excretion of calcium and oxalate. Supplementation with methanolic extract of Cucumis melo seed reduced the elevated urinary oxalate, showing a regulatory action on endogenous oxalate synthesis. The results indicate that the seed of Cucumis melo is endowed with antiurolithiatic activity.

Formulation and Evaluation of Gastroretentive Floating Tablets of Quetiapine Fumarate

The objective of the present study was to develop gastroretentive floating tablets of quetiapine fumarate. The gastroretentive floating tablets of quetiapine fumarate were formulated using natrosol 250 HHX as a sustained release polymer and sodium bicarbonate as a gas forming agents.  A 32 factorial design was employed to study the influence of concentration of natrosol HHX 250 (X1) and concentration of sodium bicarbonate (X2) on the dependent variables % drug release at 1h (Y1), % drug release at 8 h (Y2) and floating lag time (Y3). The optimized formulation (O1) showed floating lag time 49 ± 3 sec and % drug release 99.54± 0.81 at 12 h. The in vitro release of F1-F9 batches were found in between 99.95 ± 1.18 %  to  86.32 ±1.71 % at 12 h. Floating lag time of F1-F9 batches were found to be 25± 2 sec to 178 ± 3 sec. FTIR studies shown that there was no  interaction between quetiapine fumarate and excipients. From the factorial design batches it was found that floating lag time was decreased with increasing the amount of sodium bicarbonate and decreasing the amount of natrosol 250 HHX. Here % release of drug was decreased with increase the extent of natrosol 250 HHX. The in-vitro release kinetics revealed Korsmeyer-Peppas model is followed and drug release is by anomalous diffusion.
