Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Berberis aristata (BA) has been described in Ayurveda in formulations for treating conditions related to the buccal cavity, including tumours and inflammation. Oral cancer (OC) is a major global health problem with high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Natural product based therapies are being explored as safer therapeutic strategies for OC. AIM OF THE STUDY Evaluating the potential of standardized BA extract loaded buccal spray formulation in OC. MATERIAL AND METHODS BA stem bark extract was prepared using sonication and standardized with respect to Berberine. The standardized extract was characterized and formulated as a buccal spray (SBAE-BS) using hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose K15M, polyethylglycol 400, Miglyol®812N and ethanol. The SBAE-BS was characterized and evaluated in vitro in KB cell line and in vivo in OC hamster model. RESULTS The SBAE-BS had pH, viscosity, mucoadhesive strength and BBR content corresponding to 6.8, 25.9 cP, 345 dyne/cm2 and 0.6 mg/mL respectively. In vitro cytotoxicity of SBAE-BS was comparable to 5 fluorouracil (5FU). In hamsters, SBAE-BS treatment lead to tumour regression (p = 0.0345), improved body weights (p < 0.0001), no organ toxicity, downregulation of inflammatory mediators and improved survival outcomes as compared to standard systemic 5FU. CONCLUSION Thus, SBAE-BS showed cytotoxic and chemo-protective effects in the OC hamster model, evidencing its ethnopharmacological use and demonstrating translational potential to be developed as therapy for OC.

Abstract
Background
Aminoglycoside antibiotics, gentamicin (GM) owns the utmost nephrotoxic potential than other antibiotics from the same category. To the other side, diosgenin (DG) showed the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory property.
Results
The present study was aimed to explore the nephroprotective effect of diosgenin on gentamicin-induced renal toxicity in Wistar rats. Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups (n = 6): Normal control (NC), Nephrotoxicity control (GM), DG (20 mg/kg), DG (40 mg/kg), DG (80 mg/kg), accordingly. After the treatment, the nephroprotective effects of DG were assessed by measuring serum levels of creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total proteins (TP), albumin and urea levels. Urine volume, proteins, electrolyte levels, creatinine clearance were also evaluated in urine samples. Oxidative stress was evaluated through the measurement of antioxidant stress markers in the kidney tissue. Changes in body weight and kidney weight were also recorded along with a histopathological examination of kidney sections. For evaluation of inflammation, TNF-α and IL-1β levels were measured in the blood serum using ELISA kits. GM intoxication induced elevated serum creatinine, BUN, urea, albumin and TP levels, urine electrolytes levels, pro-inflammatory cytokines, antioxidant parameters which were found to be decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner in rat groups received DG which was also evidenced by the histological observations.
Conclusion
DG showed a significant nephroprotective effect in a dose-dependent manner by ameliorating the GM induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate bioanalytical RP-HPLC method to evaluate pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution pattern of momordicinin (MRN). SIGNIFICANCE MRN is one of the major cucurbitane triterpenoid found in Momordica charantia Linn (MC). However, MRN has not been explored for its pharmacokinetic profile, tissue distribution, and stability in order to establish it as an antidiabetic agent. METHODS In 28 days pharmacokinetic study, 54 diabetic male wistar rats were divided into three different groups and administered with 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg MRN orally. The blood samples were collected at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28th day of the treatment and plasma quantification of MRN was done by validated RP-HPLC method. The rats were sacrificed at end of the study for tissue distribution. RESULTS The developed method was successfully applied to investigate pharmacokinetic profile of MRN. In pharmacokinetic analysis, the Cmax for 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg was found to be 8.412, 10.443, and 11.829 µg/mL respectively suggesting the dose dependent activity. The maximum plasma concentration was achieved at 2 h for all doses. MRN showed major distribution in liver followed by kidney, spleen, and pancreas. CONCLUSION The newly developed and validated method was used to assay MRN in plasma as well as in tissues to evaluate pharmacokinetics of the drug for the first time. Undoubtedly, these findings can be taken into consideration while concluding its therapeutic effects after oral administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Honey bee propolis is one of the natural products reported in various traditional systems of medicines, including Ayurveda. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is an active constituent of propolis which is well known for its anticancer potential. The therapeutic effects of CAPE are restricted owing to its less aqueous solubility and low bioavailability. OBJECTIVE In this study CAPE loaded folic acid conjugated nanoparticle system (CLFPN) was investigated to enhance solubility, achieve sustained drug release, and improved cytotoxicity of CAPE Methods: Formulation development, characterization, and optimization were carried out by the design of experiment approach. In vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity study was carried out for optimized formulations. RESULTS Developed nanoparticles showed particle size and encapsulation efficiency of 170 ± 2-195 ± 3 nm and 75.66 ± 1.52-78.80 ± 1.25%, respectively. Optimized formulation CLFPN showed sustained drug release over a period of 42 h. GI50 concentration was decreased by 46.09% for formulation compared to CAPE in MCF-7 cells, indicating the targeting effect of CLFPN. An improved in vitro cytotoxic effect was reflected in the in vivo Daltons Ascites Lymphoma model by reducing tumor cell count. CONCLUSION The desired nanoparticle characteristic with improved in vivo and in vitro cytotoxicity was shown by the developed formulation. Thus it can be further investigated for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Pulmonary disease represents a major global health issue. They are commonly treated by various synthetic molecules. But, frequent high-dose of oral and injectable drugs may lead to severe side effects and this juncture demands inhaled formulations that facilitate effective drug delivery to the lower airways with negligible side effects. Natural phytoconstituents or phytoalexin (i.e. plant antibiotics) have showed an unique treatment array with minimum side effects and great capability to treat intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary diseases compared to synthetic drugs. Moreover, the progress of disciplines such as nanotechnology, material science and particle engineering allows further improvement of the treatment capability and efficiency. This article review and analyze literatures on inhaled phytoconstituents which were published in the last 10 years. Additionally, it will also offer the researcher with some basic background information for phytoconstituents profile, formulation requirements and drug delivery systems.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Sarasvata ghrita (SG), a polyherbal formulation from ayurveda, an ancient medicinal system of India, has been used to improve intelligence and memory, treat speech delay, speaking difficulties and low digestion power in children. AIM OF THE STUDY Study aimed to validate the ethno use of SG in memory enhancement through systematic scientific protocol. The effect of SG and modern extracts of ingredients of SG was compared on cognitive function and neuroprotection in amyloid-β peptide 25-35(Aβ25-35) induced memory impairment in wistar rats. Further the underlying mechanism for neuroprotective activity was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS SG was prepared as per traditional method, ethanolic extract (EE) was prepared by conventional method and lipid based extract was prepared by modern extraction method. All extracts were standardised by newly developed HPLC method with respect to marker compounds. SG, EE and LE were administered orally to male Wistar rats at doses of 100,200 and 400 mg/kg Body Weight by feeding needle for a period of 21 days after the intracerebroventricular administration of Aβ25-35 bilaterally. Spatial memory of rats was tested using Morris water maze (MWM) and Radial arm maze (RAM) test. The possible underlying mechanisms for the cognitive improvement exhibited by SG, EE and LE was investigated through ex-vivo brain antioxidant effect, monoamine level estimation, acetylcholine esterase (AchE) inhibitory effect and Brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) levels estimation. RESULTS SG, EE and LE were analyzed by HPLC method, results showed that EE extract has high percent of selected phytoconstituents as compared with SG and LE. SG and LE decrease escape latency and searching distance in a dose dependant manner during MWM test. In case of RAM significant decrease in number of errors and increase in number of correct choices indicate an elevation in retention and recall aspects of learning and memory after administration of SG an LE. SG and LE extract can efficiently prevent accumulation of β-amyloid plaque in hippocampus region. There was increase in SOD, GSH, CAT and NO level and decrease in MDA levels in SG and LE administered animals. SG and LE have found to exhibit AchE inhibitiory activity and significant dose-dependant increase in BDNF level in the plasma. SG and LE significantly increased the levels of noradrenaline, dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain. CONCLUSION The study validated the neuroprotective activity of SG. The study concludes the extraction efficiency of SG for selected phytoconstituents is less than modern methods. However the neuroprotective activity of SG and LE was found to be greater than EE.

Abstract
The motive of study was to develop biotinylated chitosan (BI-CHI) decorated docetaxel (DTX) loaded nanocochleates (BI-CHI-DTX-NC) to achieve controlled drug release, improve bioavailability, targeted delivery and enhanced anticancer potency with the reduced systemic toxicity of DTX. The development involved the loading of DTX to nanocochleates (DTX-NC) through conversion of dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol-sodium (DMPG-Na) and cholesterol bearing liposome on addition of calcium ions, followed by encapsulated DTX-NC with BI-CHI (BI-CHI-DTX- NC) and compared with DTX and DTX-NC. The release of DTX indicated strong pH dependence and implies strong hydrogen-bonding between nanocochleates and DTX. Formulated BI-CHI-DTX-NC demonstrated higher in-vitro anticancer activity in biotin over expressed human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The targeting effect for the BI-CHI-DTX-NC was also demonstrated. The concentration of the drug needed for growth inhibition of 50% of cells in a designed time period (GI50) was 1.8 μg/ml for free DTX while it was decreased by 33.34% for the DTX-NC (1.2 μg/ml). Furthermore, the GI50 value of BI-CHI-DTX-NC was 0.2 μg/ml, i.e. an 88.89% decrease was observed as compared to DTX solution. Moreover, bioavailability of DTX from BI-CHI-DTX-NC was increased by 10-folds with longer circulation time and slower plasma elimination with low tissue distribution as compared to DTX solution. The results indicate that the BI-CHI-DTX- NC has the potential to be applied for targeting anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Background Propolis from apiculture is known for wide range of medicinal properties owing to its vast chemical constituents including polyphenols, flavonoids and anticancer agent Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE). Objectives The objective of the study was to extract and standardize Indian propolis (IP) with respect to selected markers by newly developed High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, to evaluate in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity and biosafety of Indian propolis. Materials and methods IP was extracted, optimized and standardized using a newly developed and validated HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of caffeic acid, apigenin, quercetin and CAPE. The standardised ethanolic extract of IP (EEIP) was screened for in vitro cytotoxicity using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay, in vivo anti-carcinogenic effect against Dalton’s Lymphoma ascites (DLA) cells, hemolytic effect and pesticide analysis. Results The EEIP was found to contain more amount of total flavonoids (23.61 ± 0.0452 mg equivalent of quercetin/g), total polyphenolics (34.82 ± 0.0785 mg equivalent of gallic acid/g) and all selected markers except caffeic acid compared to all other extracts. EEIP showed better anti-cancer potential than CAPE on MCF-7 and HT-29 cell line and significant (p < 0.01) in vivo anti-carcinogenic effects against DLA in comparison with 5-fluorouracil. EEIP was found to be non-hemolytic. Conclusion From in vitro cytotoxicity, in vivo anti-carcinogenicity and biosafety studies it can be concluded that the standardized EEIP is safe and can be considered for further development as a biomedicine.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Andrographis paniculata Nees (Acanthacae) have broad range of pharmacological effects such as hepatoprotective, antifertility, antimalarial, antidiabetic, suppression of various cancer cells and anti-inflammatory properties and is widely used medicinal plant in the traditional Unani and Ayurvedic medicinal systems. Andrographolide (AN) is one of the active constituent of the A. paniculata Nees extract (APE). They have been found in many traditional herbal formulations in India and proven to be effective as anti-inflammatory drug. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (anti arthritic) herb-drug interactions of A. paniculata Nees extract (APE) and pure andrographolide (AN) with naproxen (NP) after oral co-administration in wistar rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS After oral co-administration of APE (200mg/Kg) and AN (60mg/kg) with NP (7.5mg/kg) in rats, drug concentrations in plasma were determined using HPLC method. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of Cmax, tmax, t1/2, MRT, Vd, CL, and AUC were calculated by non-compartment model. Change in paw volume, mechanical nociceptive threshold, mechanical hyperalgesia, histopathology and hematological parameters were evaluated to study antiarthritic activity. RESULTS Co-administration of NP with APE and pure AN decreased systemic exposure level of NP in vivo. The Cmax, tmax, AUC0-t of NP was decreased. In pharmacodynamic study, NP (10mg/kg) alone and NP+AN (10+60mg/kg) groups exhibited significant synergistic anti-arthritic activity as compared to groups NP+APE, APE and AN alone. CONCLUSION The results obtained from this study suggested that NP, APE and pure AN existed pharmacokinetic herb-drug interactions in rat which is correlated with anti-arthritic study. The knowledge regarding possible herb-drug interaction of NP might be helpful for physicians as well as patients using AP. So further studies should be done to understand the effect of other herbal ingredients of APE on NP as well as to predict the herb-drug interaction in humans.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Andrographis paniculata Nees (Acanthacae) is commonly used medicinal plant in the traditional. Unani and Ayurvedic medicinal systems. It has broad range of pharmacological effects such as hepatoprotective, antioxidant, antivenom, antifertility, inhibition of replication of the HIV virus, antimalarial, antifungal, antibacterial, antidiabetic, suppression of various cancer cells and anti-inflammatory properties. Andrographolide (AN) is one of the active constituent of the A. paniculata Nees extract (APE). They have been found in many traditional herbal formulations in India and proven to be effective as anti-inflammatory drug AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (anti-arthritic) herb-drug interactions of A. paniculata Nees extract (APE) and pure andrographolide (AN) with etoricoxib (ETO) after oral co-administration in wistar rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS After oral co-administration of APE (200mg/Kg) and AN (60mg/kg) with ETO (10mg/kg) in rats, drug concentrations in plasma were determined using HPLC method. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of Cmax, tmax, t1/2, MRT, Vd, CL, and AUC were calculated by non-compartment model. Change in paw volume, mechanical nociceptive threshold, mechanical hyperalgesia, histopathology and hematological parameters were evaluated to study antiarthritic activity. RESULTS Co-administration of ETO with APE and pure AN decreased systemic exposure level of each compound in vivo. The Cmax, AUC, t1/2 of ETO was decreased whereas Vd and CL of ETO was increased significantly after co-administration of ETO with pure AN and APE. In pharmacodynamic study, ETO alone and ETO+APE (10+200mg/kg) groups exhibited significant synergistic anti-arthritic activity as compared to groups ETO+AN, APE and AN alone. CONCLUSION The results obtained from this study suggested that ETO, APE and pure AN existed pharmacokinetic herb-drug interactions in rat which is correlated with anti-arthritic study. Physicians and patients using A. paniculata should have the knowledge about its possible herb-drug interaction with ETO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Curcumin has a wide range of pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antibacterial, wound healing, antiatherosclerotic, hepatoprotective and anti-carcinogenic. However, its clinical applications are limited owing to its poor aqueous solubility, multidrug pump P-gp efflux, extensive in vivo metabolism and rapid elimination due to glucuronidation/sulfation. PURPOSE The objective of the current work was to prepare novel curcumin loaded mixed micelles (CUR-MM) of Pluronic F-127 (PF127) and Gelucire® 44/14 (GL44) in order to enhance its oral bioavailability and cytotoxicity in human lung cancer cell line A549. STUDY DESIGN 3(2) Factorial design was used to assess the effect of formulation variables for optimization of mixed micelle batch. METHODS CUR-MM was prepared by a solvent evaporation method. The optimized CUR-MM was evaluated for size, entrapment efficiency (EE), in vitro curcumin release, cytotoxicity and oral bioavailability in rats. RESULTS The average size of CUR-MM was found to be around 188 ± 3 nm with an EE of about 76.45 ± 1.18% w/w. In vitro dissolution profile of CUR-MM revealed controlled release of curcumin. Additionally, CUR-MM showed significant improvement in cytotoxic activity (3-folds) and oral bioavailability (around 55-folds) of curcumin as compared to curcumin alone. Such significant improvement in cytotoxic activity and oral bioavailability of curcumin when formulated into mixed micelles could be attributed to solubilization of hydrophobic curcumin into micelle core along with P-gp inhibition effect of both, PF127 and GL44. CONCLUSION Thus the present work propose the formulation of mixed micelles of PF127 and GL44 which can act as promising carrier systems for hydrophobic drugs such as curcumin with significant improvement in their oral bioavailability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current study was designed to investigate the influence of monofloral Indian mustard bee pollen (MIMBP) and processed monofloral Indian mustard bee pollen (PMIMBP) supplementation on chronic swimming exercise-induced oxidative stress implications in the gastrocnemius muscle of Wistar rats. METHODS MIMBP was processed with an edible lipid-surfactant mixture (Captex 355:Tween 80) to increase the extraction of polyphenols and flavonoid aglycones as analyzed by UV spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography-photo diode array. Wistar rats in different groups were fed with MIMBP or PMIMBP supplements at a dose of 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg individually, while being subjected to chronic swimming exercise for 4 weeks (5 d/wk). Various biochemical [superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), malonaldehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), and total protein content], mitochondrial (Complex I, II, III, and IV enzyme activity), and molecular (myostatin mRNA expression) parameters were monitored in the gastrocnemius muscle of each group. RESULTS Administration of both MIMBP (300 mg/kg) and PMIMBP (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 300 mg/kg) wielded an antioxidant effect by significantly improving SOD, GSH, MDA, NO, and total protein levels. Further MIMBP (300 mg/kg) and PMIMBP (200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg) significantly improved impaired mitochondrial Complex I, II, III, and IV enzyme activity. Significant down-regulation of myostatin mRNA expression by MIMBP (300 mg/kg) and PMIMBP (200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg) indicates a muscle protectant role in oxidative stress conditions. CONCLUSION The study establishes the antioxidant, mitochondrial upregulatory, and myostatin inhibitory effects of both MIMBP and PMIMBP in exercise-induced oxidative stress conditions, suggesting their usefulness in effective management of exercise-induced muscular stress. Further, processing of MIMBP with an edible lipid-surfactant mixture was found to improve the therapeutic efficiency of pollen.

Abstract
Background Ashwagandharishtha is a liquid polyherbal formulation traditionally prepared by fermentation process using the flowers of Woodfordia fruticosa. It contains roots of Withania somnifera as a major crude drug. Alcohol generated during the fermentation causes the extraction of water insoluble phytoconstituents. Yeasts present on the flowers are responsible for this fermentation. Methods Total nine formulations of ashwagandharishtha were prepared by fermentation process using traditional Woodfordia fruticosa flowers (ASG-WFS) and using yeasts isolated from the same flowers. During fermentation, kinetic of alcohol generation, sugar consumption, changes in pH and withanolides extraction were studied. All the formulations were tested for in vitro antioxidant potential by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and total reducing power assay. The results were compared with standard ascorbic acid. Results Traditional formulation (ASG-WFS) showed the highest activity (p < 0.001) relative to other formulations and standard ascorbic acid. ASG-WFS showed significant (DPPH) free radical scavenging (78.75%) and hydrogen peroxide scavenging (69.62%) at the concentration of 1000 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion Traditional process is the best process for preparing ashwagandharishtha to obtain significant antioxidant activity.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates the production and properties of a biosurfactant isolated from marine Streptomyces species B3. The production of the biosurfactant was found to be higher in medium containing sucrose and lower in the medium containing glycerol. Yeast extract was the best nitrogen source for the production of the biosurfactant. The isolated biosurfactant reduced the surface tension of water to 29 mN/m. The purified biosurfactant was shown critical micelle concentrations of 110 mg/l. The emulsifying activity and stability of the biosurfactant was investigated at different salinities, pH, and temperature. The biosurfactant was effective at very low concentrations over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration. The purified biosurfactant was shown strong antimicrobial activity. The biosurfactant was produced from the marine Streptomyces sp. using non-hydrocarbon substrates such as sucrose that was readily available and not required extensive purification procedure. Streptomyces species B3 can be used for microbially enhanced oil recovery process.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is marked with chronic inflammation of intestinal epithelium driven by oxidative stress. Traditional treatments with plant extracts gained renewed interest due to their ability to ameliorate the multi factorial conditions like inflammation. We investigated the beneficial effects of Withania somnifera in Trinitro Benzyl Sulfonic Acid (TNBS) induced experimental IBD through a rectally applicable formulation. Methods The study included (i) preparation of gel formulation from aqueous Withania somnifera root extract (WSRE), (ii) biochemical assays to determine its performance potential, (iii) testing of formulation efficacy in TNBS-induced IBD rat model, and (iv) histo-patholgical studies to assess its healing and muco-regenerative effect in IBD-induced rats. For this purpose, concentration dependant antioxidant activity of the extracts were evaluated using biochemical assays like (a) inhibition of lipid peroxidation, (b) NO scavenging, (c) H2O2 scavenging, and (d) ferric reducing power assay. Results The extract, at 500 μg/ml, the highest concentration tested, showed 95.6% inhibition of lipid peroxidation, 14.8% NO scavenging, 81.79% H2O2 scavenging and a reducing capacity of 0.80. The results were comparable with standard antioxidants, ascorbic acid and curcumin. WSRE treatment positively scored on histopathological parameters like necrosis, edema, neutrophil infiltration. The post treatment intestinal features showed restoration at par with the healthy intestine. In view of these results, gel formulation containing an aqueous extract of W. somnifera, prepared for rectal application was tested for its anti-inflammatory activity in TNBS-induced rat models for IBD. Commercially available anti-inflammatory drug Mesalamine was used as the standard in this assay. Conclusions Dose of the rectal gel applied at 1000 mg of WSRE per kg rat weight showed significant muco-restorative efficacy in the IBD-induced rats, validated by histo-pathological studies.

Abstract
Curcumininoids, obtained from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa L., Zingiberaceae (turmeric), are the most widely used phytoconstituent in food industry and recently for its therapeutic activity. It has very wide spectrum of therapeutic use like in inflammation, psoriasis, various tumors, wound healing and also in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. But its highly lipophilic nature and very poor bioavailability hampers its therapeutic usefulness. Poly(butyl) cyanoacrylate (PBCA) nanoparticles coated with poloxamer 188 containing curcuminoids were prepared by anionic polymerization using solvent evaporation method. The particle size and zeta potential of prepared liposomes was 178nm and -28.33 respectively with 77.99% encapsulation efficiency. The TEM study revealed the spherical nature of the prepared nanoparticles alongwith confirmation of particle size. The polymerization and entrapment of curcuminoids was confirmed using H(1) NMR study by comparing the spectra of nanoparticles with that of curcuminoids. DSC study revealed that curcuminoids was entrapped inside the nanoparticles in molecular dispersion form. In vitro release study showed that the prepared PBCA nanoparticles are capable of controlled drug release (following matrix model) for extended period of time with higher release in acidic environment compared to PB 7.4 suggesting the usefulness of the prepared nanoparticles for intracellular delivery. The mean particle size, zeta potential and the amount of curcuminoids showed no significant changes compared to the freshly prepared PBCA nanoparticles after storage for 6 months at 40 degrees C/75% RH in the presence and absence of sunlight.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to formulate tasteless complexes of ciprofloxacin with Indion 234 and to evaluate molecular properties of drug complexes. The effect of batch and column process, complexation time, temperature, and pH on ciprofloxacin loading on Indion 234 is reported. Drug resin complexes (DRC) were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and x-ray diffraction pattern. Ciprofloxacin release from DRC is obtained at salivary and gastric pH and in the presence of electrolytes. The efficient drug loading was evident in batch process using activated Indion 234 with a drug-resin ratio of 1:1.3. Drug complexation enhanced with pH from 1.2 to 6, while temperature did not affect the complexation process. Infrared spectroscopy revealed complexation of -NH (drug) with Indion 234. DRC are amorphous in nature. Drug release from DRC in salivary pH was insufficient to impart bitter taste. Volunteers rated the complex as tasteless and agreeable. Complete drug release was observed at gastric pH in 2 hours. The drug release was accelerated in the presence of electrolytes. Indion 234 is inexpensive, and the simple technique is effective for bitterness masking of ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
The polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment of ciprofloxacin-Indion 234 complex was aimed to retard rapid ion exchange drug release at gastric pH. Ciprofloxacin loading on Indion 234 was performed in a batch process, and the amount of K(+) in Indion 234 displaced by drug with time was studied as equilibrium constant K(DM). Drug-resin complex (DRC) was treated with aqueous PEG solution (0.5%-2% wt/vol) of different molecular weights (MWs) for 2 to 30 minutes. The PEG-treated ciprofloxacin-Indion 234 complex was evaluated for particle size, water absorption time, and drug release at gastric pH. During drug loading on Indion 234, the equilibrium constant (K(DM)) increased rapidly up to 20 minutes with efficient drug loading. Increased time of immersion of the drug resinate in PEG solutions significantly retained higher size particles upon dehydration. The larger DRC particles showed longer water absorption times owing to compromised hydrating power. The untreated DRC showed insignificant drug release in deionized water; while at gastric pH, ciprofloxacin release was complete in 90 minutes. A trend of increased residual particle size, proportionate increase in water absorption time, and hence the retardation of release with time of immersion was evident in PEG-treated DRC. The time of immersion of DRC in PEG solution had predominant release retardant effect, while the effect of molecular weight of PEG was insignificant. Thus, PEG treatment of DRC successfully retards ciprofloxacin ion exchange release in acidic pH.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to evaluate in vitro transnasal sustained-release ability of sorbitan monostearate (SMS) organogels in isopropyl myristate (IM). Organogels were prepared containing SMS (2.5%-20%) and water (5%-25%) in IM and analyzed microscopically for phase behavior. The effect of Tween surfactants on gel strength and in vitro nasal diffusion of propranolol is reported. The in vitro nasal release retardant effect of SMS and Tween 20 was investigated using factorial design. The microscopic changes in structure of organogel during in vitro nasal diffusion were studied. The water-holding capacity of SMS organogels in IM increased with SMS concentration. The release retardant effect with incorporation of cosurfactant was of the order of Tween 80 > Tween 60 > Tween 20. Gel strengthening and increased viscosity were evident with increased concentration of SMS and Tween 20. The 3-dimensional network of SMS molecules controls the diffusional drug release. The organogel system on nasal mucosa during diffusion is dynamic in nature and changes continuously with the time of diffusion. The water penetration in the organogel network results in percolation and emulsification of organogel, thus affecting the release. Organogels provided an effective barrier for diffusion of propranolol. The surface epithelium lining and the granular cellular structure of treated nasal mucosa were intact.

Abstract
The purpose of this research work was to obtain directly compressible agglomerates of ibuprofen with talc by a novel crystallo-co-agglomeration (CCA) technique, which is an extension of spherical crystallization. Ibuprofen-talc agglomerates were prepared using dichloromethane (DCM)-water as the crystallization system. DCM acted as a good solvent for ibuprofen as well as a bridging liquid for agglomeration of crystallized drug with talc. The agglomerates were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy and were evaluated for tableting properties and for drug release. The process yielded spherical agglomerates containing ~95% to 96% wt/wt of ibuprofen. Agglomerates containing talc showed uniform distribution of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and decreased crystallinity, and deformed under pressure. The miniscular form of ibuprofen and the hydrophobicity of talc governed the drug release rate. The batch containing a higher proportion of talc showed zero-order kinetics and drug release was extended up to 13 hours. The CCA technique developed in this study is suitable for obtaining agglomerates of drug with talc as an excipient.

Abstract
Incorporation of bisphosphonates in the lipid reduces gastric irritation. Only gastric retention with sustained release allows the drug to reach the duodenum and jejunum and improves the availability of bisphosphonates. Risedronate sodium and Gelucire 39/01 floating matrices were prepared using melt solidification. The sustained release floating matrices were evaluated for in vitro and in vivo floating ability and in vitro drug release. Ageing of the matrices was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, hot stage polarizing microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and in vitro drug release. Ageing causes changes in the crystal structure of Gelucire, which is responsible for an increase in drug release.
