    Bioavailability and Solubility are the challenges for the formulation of highly lipophilic drugs. Oral routes of administration is one of the acceptable route due to improved patient compliance and convenience. Regularly newly advanced drug candidates are lipophilic, BCS Class II and IV drugs. Among various methods to improve the solubility of these drugs, liquid-solid technology or Powdered solution technology change the liquid drug into non-sticky, dry free-flowing, rapid release powder. This technique involves mixing of insoluble drug with nonvolatile solvent, admixing of drug-loaded excipients change into loose powder. This technique enhances major challenges like bioavailability with low production cost and a simple manufacturing process

    Liquisolid technique is a novel process in which a liquid can be converted into a material that flows freely, is readily compressible. The carrier material in liquisolid compact comprises the liquid part, which is the liquid drug or a drug solution in liquid vehicles that are non-volatile. Solubility is the main parameter in the circulation of blood to achieve the whole concentration of the drug for pharmacological action. The rate of dissolution of drugs enhances in liquisolid technology. This in turn increases absorption and bioavailability subsequently. This review discusses the different advances and changes to improve liquisolid technology formulations and enhancement of dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs. Most of the new chemical entities have high lipophilicity and poor water solubility, resulting in poor bioavailability. The release rate of these drugs should be increased in order to improve bioavailability. The technique is based on dissolving the insoluble drug in the solution loaded with non-volatile solvent. Then the dissolution rate of drug which is poorly soluble will rise. The enhanced bioavailability is due to the increased surface area of drug for release, increased drug aqueous solubility or improved wetting capacity

    Oral route is presently the gold standard in the pharmaceutical industry where it is regarded as the safest, most economical and most convenient method of drug delivery resulting in highest patient compliance. Pediatric and geriatric patients find it difficult to swallow solid dosage forms like tablets. Mouth dissolving tablet that dissolve or disintegrate rapidly in oral cavity result in solution, is an ultimate remedy for this problem in addition they give pleasing mouth feeling. ODT has advantages such as patient compliance, quick onset of action, improved bioavailability. Domperidone tablet (ODT) gives relief from nausea, vomiting. This review gives us all information about pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, uses, precautions, side effects of domperidone tablet

    Nanoparticles of undoped and doped (0.1 M Ni2+ and Cu2+) ZnO are synthesized using chemical precipitation method. The crystallite size, morphology, chemical bonding and optical properties of as prepared nanoparticles are determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and UV-visible spectra. XRD analysis shows that the prepared samples are single phase and have hexagonal wurtzite structure. The crystallite size of the doped and undoped nanoparticles is determined using Scherrer method. The crystallite size is found to be increased with concentration of nickel and copper. All stretching and vibrational bands are observed at their specific positions through FTIR. The increase in band gap can be attributed to the different chemical nature of dopant and host cation

    Determination of Multiple Spring Constants, Gaps and Pull Down Voltages in MEMS CRAB Type Microaccelerometer Using Near Pull Down Capacitance Voltage Measurements

    A simple experimental method based on capacitance voltage (CV) measurements is presented to extract the spring constants (k) different actuation voltages and gaps, in crab type capacitive MEMS accelerometer sensors. It is shown that in addition to main spring action provided by the legs of the structure, the additional spring constants related to the interaction of main spring-proof mass joint and corner region of the proof mass also contribute to change in capacitance. The proposed approach is used in resolving and measuring these model parameters simultaneously because all of them can be extracted from the just one CV measurement. It is found that this additional k varies by more than a factor of 10 across the 6-inch wafer. Furthermore, zero bias capacitance C0, zero bias gap g0, main spring constant k and initial pull down voltage Vpd1 vary by factors of 2.4, 2.38, 30 and 3 respectively. The method also allows us to extract different values of pull down and spring constants associated with different regions of crab structure. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical predictions and reported trends in literatures. The method is routinely applied while fabricating the actual prototype sensors fabricated in our laboratory
