COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF
SOLUBILITY AND DISSOLUTION ENHANCEMENT OF BICALUTAMIDE SOLID BY DISPERSION
TECHNIQUE
Bicalutamide is
poorly water soluble Anti- Cancer drug used in prostate cancer. Due to poor
solubility of drug, its bioavailability rate is limited by drug dissolution. In
the present study, an attempt has been made to increase solubility and
dissolution of Bicalutamide by solid dispersion technique using Solvent
Evaporation and Hot Melt method with PEG- 6000 (Poly ethylene glycol), PVP K-90
(Poly vinyl pyrrolidone), and Poloxamer F-68.

CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 – AN ALLURING
TARGET FOR MEANINGFUL DRUG DESIGNING
Cyclooxygenase, an enzyme involved in the conversion of C-20 acids to
prostaglandins, exists in two isoforms. COX-1 is constitutively expressed and
has a gastroprotective function. COX-2, induced at the site of injury, is
responsible for the expression of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Despite
overall similarities, COX-1 and COX-2 show subtle difference in amino acid
composition at the active sites. COX-2 has valine at positions 89 and 523,
while COX-1 has isoleucine, resulting in larger space availability in the
former.

PREDICTION OF HUMAN INTESTINAL PERMEABILITY
SINGLE-PASS INTESTINAL PERFUSION IN RAT: A QSAR/QSPR APPROACH
The aim of the study was the prediction of human intestinal
permeability and fraction absorbed of oral dose using QSAR/QSPR methods. To explore physicochemical and topological
properties of 15 compounds responsible for their Human intestinal permeability,
a quantitative structure activity relationship, Hansch approach was applied on
sixteen compounds. Various physicochemical and topological descriptors and
reported Human intestinal permeability values of different 15 compounds were
used as independent variables and dependent variable respectively.

EVALUATION
AND PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF
SEED OIL OF NIGELLA SATIVA LINN.
Nigella sativa (Ranunculaceae)
is a flowering plant,
native to Southwest Asia. Seeds contain 36%–38% fixed oils,
proteins, alkaloids, saponin and 0.4%–2.5% essential oil. The fixed oil is
composed mainly of unsaturated fatty acids, including the unusual C20:2
arachidic and eicosadienoic acids. The seeds are used as a carminative and stimulant to
ease bowel and indigestion
problems and are given to treat intestinal worms and nerve defects to reduce
flatulence, and induce sweating. The present paper deals with preliminary
phytochemical screening of fixed oil obtained by the seeds. Also attempt was
made to evaluate the oil so as to establish the standardization parameters.
