The ethanolic extract of leaves and stem of Vallaris solanacea (Roth) Kuntze (Family: Apocynaceae) was screened for its analgesic, cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. Phytochemical analysis of the extract indicated the presence of Reducing Sugar, Tannins, Saponins, Gums, Steroids, Alkaloids, and Glycosides. The ethanolic extract showed statistically significant analgesic activity (p<0.005) in acetic acid induced writhing inhibition in mice at the dose of 500mg/kg body weight and also showed mild effect at the doses of 250mg/kg body weight. In the brine shrimp lethality test, the extract showed cytotoxicity with LC 50 80 μg/ml and LC 90 320 μg/ml. In the qualitative antioxi-dant assay using DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) the extract showed free radical scavenging properties. These primary findings suggest that the extract might possess some chemical constituents that are responsible for analgesic, cytotoxic and antioxidant activities.

Direct extraction of DNA from natural environment and clinical samples has become a useful alternative for the phylogenetic identification and in situ detection of individual microbial cells without cultivation. In this study, three different Gram positive microorganisms ( B. cereus, B. subtilis, and S. aureus ) were chosen for genomic DNA extraction. High salt SDS (Sodium Dodesyl Sulfate) based extraction method was followed to extract genomic DNA with addition of three different lysis protocols to observe the effect of proteinase-K on total genomic DNA yield, lysis steps were carried with SDS, SDS with 3 μl proteinase-K and SDS with 6μl proteinase-K. High molecular weight intact DNA bands were observed only for Bacillus subtilis when the extraction procedure was carried out in presence of SDS, SDS with proteinase-K (3μl) and SDS with increased amount of proteinase-K (6μl). In presence of SDS and increased amount of proteinase-K (6μl) the mean value of DNA concentration for Bacillus cereus , Bacillus subtilis , and Staphylococcus aureus were found to be 1.53±0.15, 1.36±0.10 and 1.65±0.10 μg/μl respectively. However, in absence of proteinase-K, the mean values of DNA concentration were found to be decreased (1.28±0.10, 1.34±0.15, 1.23±0.10 μg/μl for B. cereus, B. subtilis , and S. aureus respectively) for all these stains. Although in case of B. subtilis the overall effect of proteinase-K was not found to be significant in terms of DNA concentration and DNA band intensity, however, for B. cereus , and S. aureus sharp decrease in total extracted DNA concentration was observed suggesting the increased lysis effect of proteinase-K on the thick peptidoglycan layer of Gram-positive cell wall such as B. cereus , and S. aureus .

直接从自然环境和临床样本中提取DNA已成为一种有用的替代方法，用于系统发育鉴定和原位检测单个微生物细胞而无需培养。本研究选取三种不同的革兰氏阳性微生物(蜡样芽孢杆菌、枯草芽孢杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌)进行基因组DNA提取。采用高盐SDS(十二烷基硫酸钠)提取方法提取基因组DNA，并添加三种不同的裂解方案，观察蛋白酶- k对基因组DNA总产率的影响，裂解步骤分别用SDS、3 μl蛋白酶- k SDS和6μl蛋白酶- k SDS进行。在SDS、添加蛋白酶k (3μl)的SDS和添加蛋白酶k (6μl)的SDS的条件下，只有枯草芽孢杆菌的DNA条带具有较高的分子量。在添加SDS和增加蛋白酶k量(6μl)的情况下，蜡样芽孢杆菌、枯草芽孢杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的DNA浓度平均值分别为1.53±0.15、1.36±0.10和1.65±0.10 μl。然而，在缺乏蛋白酶k的情况下，所有菌株的DNA浓度平均值均降低(蜡样芽孢杆菌、枯草芽孢杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的DNA浓度平均值分别为1.28±0.10、1.34±0.15、1.23±0.10 μl)。虽然在枯草芽孢杆菌中，蛋白酶- k对DNA浓度和DNA条带强度的总体影响不显著，但在蜡样芽孢杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌中，总提取DNA浓度急剧下降，提示蛋白酶- k对蜡样芽孢杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌等革兰氏阳性细胞壁厚肽聚糖层的裂解作用增强。关键词:萃取;基因组DNA;裂解缓冲;革兰氏阳性有机体。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sjps.v4i1.8867 SJPS 2011;4 (1): 53-57

Naproxen, an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility and flow properties. Spherical agglomerates were prepared by solvent change method. Solvent composition for spherical agglomeration was determined by constructing ternary diagram. Crystallization medium used for spherical agglomerates of naproxen consisted of tetra-hydro-furan (good solvent); water (poor solvent); isopropyl acetate (bridging liquid) in the ratio of 29:61:10, respectively. Spherical agglomerates were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. Micromeritic and dissolution behavior studies were carried out. Process variables such as amount of bridging liquid, stirring time and duration of stirring were optimized. Dissolution profile of the spherical agglomerates was compared with pure sample and recrystallized sample. Spherical agglomerates exhibited decreased crystallinity and improved micromeritic properties. The dissolution of the spherical agglomerates was not improved compared with pure sample because the dissolution of naproxen dependent on particle size or surface area.

An attempt has been made to develop a simple, sensitive and rapid high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method of analysis for lomefloxacin as in pharmaceutical dosage form using 0.025 M phosphoric acid and acetonitrile (80:20) as mobile phases. The mobile phase was used as solvents to dissolve lomefloxacin and 0.0122 mg/mL stock solution was prepared. Lomefloxacin solution was scanned with UV-spectrophotometer and the absorption maximum (λmax) was found to be 287 nm. This method was successfully applied to five eye drop dosage forms of lomefloxacin encoded as pp1, pp2, pp3, pp4 and pp5 marketed by five different pharmaceutical companies and the result was found to be satisfactory and reproducible. The method was validated by spiked recovery experiments and shown to be linear for lomefloxacin. The method can be used for routine analysis in both research laboratories, and pharmaceutical and chemical industries to analyze the drugs and chemicals without any interference by the excipients.

Gliclazide is an oral hypoglycemic agent used in management of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Among people who are suffering from long term disorders, the major were categorized under diabetes so, a dosage form is needed to provide continuous therapy with high margin of safety & such dosage form can be achieved by microencapsulation. Gliclazide microspheres with sodium alginate (coat material, gum kondagogu, gum guar and xanthan gum (mucoadhesive agents) were prepared by orifice-ionic gelation and emulsification ionic gelation techniques varying concentrations (1:0.25, 1:0.5, 1:0.75 and 1:1). Formulations were then evaluated for surface morphology, particle shape, Carr’s index, microencapsulation efficiency, drug release, mucoadhesion studies. Compatibility studies were performed by FTIR, DSC, and XRD techniques and no interactions were found between drug and excepients used. The microspheres were found spherical and free flowing with emulsion ionic gelation technique with a size range 400-600μm. % drug content and encapsulation efficiency found in the range of 55%-68% and, 86.23%-94.46% respectively. All microspheres showed good mucoadhesive property in in-vitro wash of test. In vitro drug release studies showed that the guar gum has more potentiality to retard the drug release compared to other gums and concentrations. Drug release from the microspheres was found slow following zero order release kinetics with non-fickian release mechanism stating release depended on the coat: core ratio and the method employed.

Two methods are described for the simultaneous estimation of Rosuvastatin Calcium and Fenofibrate in binary mixture. The first method was based on UV Spectrophotometric determination of two drugs, using simultaneous equation method. It involves absorbance measurement at 243nm (λmax of Rosuvastatin Calcium) and 287nm (λmax of Fenofibrate) in methanol; linearity was obtained in the range of 1-6 μg/ml and 4-28 μg/ml for Rosuvastatin Calcium and Fenofibrate, respectively. The second method was based on HPLC separation of two drugs in reverse phase mode using Luna C 18 column. Linearity was obtained in the concentration of 1-7 μg/ml and 4-28 μg/ml for Rosuvastatin Calcium and Fenofibrate, respectively. Both these methods have been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulation and were validated according to ICH guidelines.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the root extract fractions of Kyllinga triceps (KT) for their antidiabetic potential on streptozotocin induced diabetes in neonatal rats. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of Streptozotocin (90mg/kg) to 48±2h old neonatal rats. Effect of root extract fractions (toluene, ethyl acetate, 1- butanol at 50 &100 mg/kg.) were tested for their antihyperglycemic activity by measuring their fasting blood glucose level in diabetic rats at 0,2,4,6,8,12 & 24 h after the treatment. In sub acute study ethyl acetate fraction of KT (EAKT) was administered daily to diabetic rats orally at a dose of 100mg/kg for 28 days. Body weight of the animals and blood glucose level were observed at weekly interval during the study. Cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, SGPT, ALP, creatinine and total proteins level in serum were also estimated at the initial and after 28 days of the treatment. As the preliminary investigation conducted in our lab on methanolic extract of the roots of KT had showed significant oral glucose tolerance with 200 mg/kg in normal rats. Oral administration of fractions of the plant significantly reduced the fasting blood glucose level in diabetic rats. Among the fractions, EAKT was found to be more effective. Further, in sub-acute study, EAKT, showed a significant anti diabetic activity by reversal of the altered afore said serum biochemical parameters. The results of the study are substantiating the traditional claim of the roots of Kyllinga triceps in the treatment of diabetes with a scope for development of antidiabetic herbal drug from EAKT.

Body weight of the animals and blood glucose level were observed at weekly interval during the study. Cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, SGPT, ALP, creatinine and total proteins level in serum were also estimated at the initial and after 28 days of the treatment. As the preliminary investigation conducted in our lab on methanolic extract of the roots of KT had showed significant oral glucose tolerance with 200 mg/kg in normal rats. Oral administration of fractions of the plant significantly reduced the fasting blood glucose level in diabetic rats. Among the fractions, EAKT was found to be more effective. Further, in sub-acute study, EAKT, showed a significant anti diabetic activity by reversal of the altered afore said serum biochemical parameters. The results of the study are substantiating the traditional claim of the roots of Kyllinga triceps in the treatment of diabetes with a scope for development of antidiabetic herbal drug from EAKT.

The aim of the present investigation was to develop and evaluate gastroretentive drug delivery tablets (GRDDTs) of ofloxacin using different polymers such as HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M, Polyethylene oxide WSR 303, Carbopol 971P, Xanthan Gum in different ratios for local action in gastric region to eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection. The GRDDTs were prepared by wet granulation method and evaluated for physical characteristics such as hardness, thickness, friability, drug content and floating properties. The optimized formula F4 showed better sustained drug release and which also had good floating properties and fitted best to be Korsmeyer-Peppas model with R 2 value of 0.9848. As the n value for the Korsmeyer- Peppas model was found be less than 0.45 it follows Fickian diffusion mechanism. FT-IR result showed that there is no drug excipient interaction. In vivo radiographic studies were conducted with BaSO4 loaded tablets to examine the increased gastric residence time of the prepared tablets. The study revealed that the tablet remained in the stomach for 300±10min which indicates the increase in the gastric residence time for the effective localized action of the ofloxacin in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori caused peptic ulcer.
