Abstract
Only one in 10,000 potential compounds investigated gets regulatory approval, which in turn takes
efforts of about 15 years and involved R&D expenditure of $1 billion. From here we can assume the
current scenario of developing country like India in drug discovery. In the period of post independency
(up to 1970) several investments had taken place in R&D by private and public sector which had been
demoralized by the application of “the patent act of 1970”.Till 1995 due to lack of product patent
regiment even in Indian majors like Ranbaxy, Dr. Reddy’s spend only 2.35% sale in 1992-93, where 15-
30% by western. The year when TRIPS come into effect there was a moderate increase in R&D. The
analysis of R&D expenditure of pharmaceutical firms’ shows that there had been a growth in the R&D
intensity since 2000-01, but this begin decline or stagnate after 2005-06. Although Govt. Research
institute like CDRI, CSIR, IICT, NIPERs established to aid the drug development and research individually
or in collaboration with private Pharmaceutical Company, still India has stayed away from drug
discovery or out licensed the molecule to large global companies in the early phase of development due
to late entry into the New Chemical Entities (NCEs) research and lack of expertise essential for modern
day drug development and financial resources. Foreign investment and technology collaborations, tax
obligations, exemptions from drug price regulation and product patent rights to pharmaceutical
innovations are needed to reform new drug discovery process in India.

Abstract
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are the commonest cause of osteomyelitis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of an alternative therapy i.e. application of S.
aureus specific bacteriophages in cases of osteomyelitis caused by MRSA in animal model.
Twenty two rabbits were included in this study. The first two rabbits were used to test the safety
of phage cocktail while the remaining 20 rabbits were divided into three groups; group A (n=4)
to assess the establishment of osteomyelitis; group B (n=4) osteomyelitis developed but therapy
started only after six weeks; and group C (n=12) osteomyelitis developed and therapy started
after three weeks. Groups B and C rabbits were treated with four doses of cocktail of seven
virulent bacteriophages at the interval of 48 h. Comparison between three groups was made on
the basis of observation of clinical, radiological, microbiological, and histopathological
examinations.Experimental group rabbits recovered from the illness in the subsequent two weeks
of the therapy. Appetite and activity of the rabbits improved, local oedema, erythema and
induration subsided. There were minimal changes associated with osteomyelitis in X-ray and
histopathology also showed no signs of infection with new bone formation. Control B group
rabbits also recovered well from the infection.The present study shows a potential of phage
therapy to treat difficult infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Nicotiana tobacum (Solanacae) plant is very easily available in Indian environment. Nicotianas
are highly toxic plants due to their nicotine. Tobacco plants are also used in plant bioengineering,
and some of the more than 70species are grown as ornamentals. The chemistry of tobacco is
unique with the presence of a wide spectrum of chemical compounds of which nicotine,
solanesol, malic and citric acid were identified as potential chemicals which could be recovered
and converted to value-added products. The effects of nicotine alkaloid are a result of the
summation of actions at ganglionic sites, motor end plates and smooth muscle. The central
nervous system is affected, initially by stimulation, resulting in tremors and convulsions,
progressing to depression. Mostly death rate occurs from respiratory failure. Recent time death
rate occurs use of tobacco at world level by WHO information about 6.0 million population and
in India about 1.5 million population by various tobacco originated disease including 30%
cancerous disease ( By use of Tobacco in form of Cigrate, Pan, Tambacu and various other
Tobacco prepared products).
Abstract
Over the past few decades, there has been increased interest for innovative drug delivery system
to improve the safety, efficacy and patient compliance, thereby increasing the product patent
life cycle. In the recent years, many of the pharmaceutical groups are focusing their research on
rapid dissolving technology. Fast dissolving oral films are the most advanced form of oral solid
dosage form due to more flexibility and comfort Fast dissolving oral films are useful in patients
such as paediatric, geriatric, bedridden or developmentally disabled who face difficulty in
swallowing conventional tablets or capsules and liquid orals or syrups leading to ineffective
therapy. The delivery system consists of a very thin oral strip, which is simply placed on the
patient’s tongue or any oral mucosal tissue, instantly wet by saliva the filmrapidly hydrates and
adheres onto the site of application. Fast dissolving oral films are found to be satisfactory in
many situations like allergic conditions, cold and cough, sore throat, nausea, pain, mouth ulcers,
CNS disorders and CVS disorders. Oral film includes various ingredients for its formulation
which includes polymers, active pharmaceutical ingredient, film stabilizing agents, plasticizers,
sweeteners, flavours, colors, saliva stimulating agents, surfactants etc. However, for future
growth point of view the fast dissolving oral films sector is well-positioned. It seems that the
value of the overall oral thin films market will grow significantly.
Design and In Vitro Characterization of Novel Pulsatile Drug Delivery System of Anti-
Diabetic Drug
Abstract
The current work emphasize on development of pulsatile capsular pellets of metformin hydrochloride. It
was characterized by complete release of the drug in pulses after well-defined lag time of 6 h (± 0.20)
(period of no drug release) for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The novel drug delivery system
consisted of HPC Type H as lag time modifier, and Eudragit L-100 and Eudragit S-100 in different
concentration as pH dependent release modifier in gastrointestinal tract. The pellets were subjected to in
vitro release studies using USP dissolution apparatus- II in distilled water, phosphate buffer of pH 6.8
and 0.1 N HCL and methanol. U.V, I.R. were done for API and formulations
Abstract
The compound (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate.(EGCG) is the major catechin found in greentea
[Camellia sinensis L. Ktze. (Theaceae)]. This polyphenolic compound and several related
catechins are believed to be responsible for the health benefits associated with the consumption
of green tea. The potential health benefits ascribed to green tea and EGCG include antioxidant
effects, cancer chemoprevention, improving cardiovascular health, enhancing weight loss,
protecting the skin from the damage caused by ionizing radiation, and others. The compound
EGCG has been shown to regulate dozens of disease-specific molecular targets. Many of these
molecular targets are only affected by concentrations of EGCG that are far above the levels
achieved by either drinking green tea or consuming moderate doses of green tea extract-based
dietary supplements. In spite of this, well-designed double-blinded controlled clinical studies
have recently demonstrated the efficacy of green tea extracts and purified EGCG products in
patients. Therefore, this review highlights results from what the authors believe to be some of the
most clinically significant recent studies and describes current developments in the
stereoselective total synthesis of EGCG.
The polyphenolic compound (−) epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major catechin found
in green tea and is thought to impart many of the health benefits attributed to this beverage. The
latest clinical studies have supported some of the potential health benefits of consuming green
tea and EGCG. The results from significant clinical studies and the most recent work in the area
of stereoselective EGCG synthesis are described in this presentation.

Abstract
In previous decades, the human population affected with lethal contagious diseases caused by
multidrug resistant gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. Drug resistance
enlarged to an alarming level around the world and one of the major causes of death. During the
past 60 years, various other antibiotics have been used. The antibiotics developed not just to treat
human infectious diseases, but also their property used in veterinary, plant agriculture and
aquaculture. Extensive use has created a robust discerning burden, which unswervingly has
resulted in thespreading of resistant bacteria, the advent of resistance had shown multifaceted
mechanisms by which resistance genes spread across the bacterial demesne, with deceptive
disregard for species barriers. But the bacterial evolutionary response has not been restricted to
the acquisition of resistance of genetic factor. Merging of two or more heterocyclic ring makes
molecule more competent and pharmacological dynamic. Quinoline, heterocyclic ring, is a very
important moiety of various antibacterialagents like ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin etc.
The 1,2,4-triazole and its derivatives were reported to exhibit various pharmacological activities
such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer andantioxidant properties. Some
of the current day drugs such as Ribavirin (antiviral agent), Rizatriptan(antimigraine agent),
Alprazolam (anxiolytic agent), Fluconazole and Itraconazole (antifungal agents) are
thepreeminent examples for potent molecules possessing triazole nucleus.Here in present
communication weclubbed 1,2,4 triazole with 4-aminoquinoline using aliphatic bridge for
development towards novel andproficient antibacterial agent.
Abstract
CONCLUSION: These results suggest CBD as a potent anti-tumor drug with anti-proliferative,
anti-migratory, and anti-invasive properties. These results also suggest a cross-talk between
EGFR and one of the receptors that CBD acts on. Furthermore, CBD has a tumor
microenvironment modulating property which suggests an important role of CBD receptors on
changing the cytokine profile within the tumor microenvironment. This study advocates the use
of CBD in breast cancer patients especially those with highly aggressive and metastatic cancer
cells including TNBC patients, and those who have resistance to conventional EGFR therapy.
SUMMARY: These finding shows that CBD can suppress the activation of EGF/EGFR
signaling transduction pathway and its downstream targets AKT, ERK and NF-kB. It is likely
that CBD, through acting on its receptors, changes the cytokine secretion of cancer cells.
Abstract
Insulin was discovered in 1921 by Banting and Best who demonstrated the hypoglycemia
action of an extract of pancreas prepared after degeneration of the exocrine part due to ligation
of pancreatic duct . The insulin are mainly obtain of the animal ,like dogs and pigs and second
one is the beta-cell of pancreas islet in human .
Increase of the glucose in the blood and decrease of the insulin in the body for formation
of beta-cell, is also known as diabetes . Diabetes are also divided into two types that is - Type 1
diabetes ( Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus / IDDM ),and Type 2 diabetes (Non Insulin
Dependent Diabetes Mellitus / NIDDM) .Patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) require
lifelong insulin therapy . Most require two or more injection of insulin daily ,with doses adjusted
on the basis of self-monitoring of blood glucose level .
In Ayurveda a number of synonyms have been assigned to the word Buddhi such as
Prajna, Smriti and Jnana. According to Charaka it is related to the aspects of Dhi, Dhriti, and
Smriti. Dhi means the perception of true knowledge, while Dhriti refers to the power of
controlling the mind and Smriti refers to recalling the past experiences. In Shabdhakalpadruma,
Medha is a type of Buddhi which has power of retaining knowledge for a long period. According
to Vacahspatya it is a type of knowledge which is retained for long period and will not be
forgotten. According to Charaka, Medha is a type of Dhi having the power of retention of
knowledge. According to Sushruta, Medha is meaning of perception and retention power of
knowledge of the text. According to Vagbhata Medha is the faculty of Buddhi. Ayurveda
prescribes Medhya Rasayana therapy for epilepsy and other brain disorders. Nidanparivarjan,
Shodhanchikitsa, Bahiparimarjan, Rasayanachikitsa, Sattvavajaya and Avasthikachikitsa.
Rasayana chikitsa is preferred for long term management of epilepsy which involves the use of
Medhya Rasayana which is a collection of herbs like Mandukparni, Yastimadhu, Guduchi,
Tinospora, Ashwagandha, Shankhpushpi, Vacha, Brahmi etc.

Abstract
Liver diseases are a major universal health problem, with high endemicity in developing
countries. They are mainly caused by chemicals and some drugs when taken in very high doses.
Despite advances in modern medicine, there is no effective drug available that stimulates liver
function, offer protection to the liver from damage or help to regenerate hepatic cells. There is
urgent need, therefore, for effective drugs to replace/supplement those in current use. The plant
kingdom is undoubtedly valuable as a source of new medicinal agents. The p resent work
constitutes a review of the literature on plant extracts and chemically defined molecules of
natural origin with hepatoprotective activity. The review shows 107 plants, their families,
geographical distribution, plant parts utilized, type of assay and inducer of liver damage. It also
includes 58 compounds isolated from higher plants, classified into appropriate chemical groups.
This work intends to aid researchers in the study of natural products useful in the treatment of
liver diseases.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy remains a frightening prospect to patient and frustrates physician .
Destruction of damaged retina by photo-coagulation remains the primary treatment nearly 50
years. Diabetes retinopathy and diabetes molecular edema (DME) are leading cause of blindness
in the working age population of most developed countries .
The increasing number of individual with diabetes worldwide suggest that DR and DME will
continue to be major contributors to vision loss and associated functional impairment for year to
come increase the control of diabetes associated metabolic abnormalities (i.e. Hyperglycemia,
Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension) my project’s aim is to detect the symptoms of diabetes,
diagnosis and treatment of diabetes retinopathy.

Abstract
The application of vesicular system in drug delivery has changed the definitions of diagnosis and
treatment in different aspects of biomedical field. Novel drug delivery system aims to deliver the
drug at a rate directed by the needs of the body during the period of treatment, and channel the
active entity to the site of action. The vesicular system as liposomes, niosomes, sphinosomes,
transferosomes and pharmacosomes are used to improve the therapeutic index of both existing
and new drug molecules by encapsulating an active medicament inside vesicular structure in one
such system. It prolong the existence of the drug in systemic circulation and finally reduce the
toxicity. Such different systems are widely used in gene delivery, tumor targeting to brain, liver
targeting.oral formulations, in stability and permeability problems of drugs. In this review we
really focused on different aspects of vesicular system in terms of its advantages, limitation,
application and different marketed product of vesicular system as novel drug delivery.
Abstract
Over the past few years, the idea of chemistry has been mobilized to develop new techniques that
are less hazardous to human health and the environment. This new approach has received
extensive attention and goes by many names including Green chemistry, Environmentally
Benign chemistry and clean chemistry. Green chemistry with 12 principles would like to see
changes in the conventional ways that used for decades to make synthetic organic chemical
substances and the use of less toxic starting materials . By changing the methodologies of
organic synthesis health and safety will be advanced in the small scale laboratory level but also
will be extended to the industrial large scale production processes through the new techniques.
Green chemistry would like to increases the efficiency of synthetic methods, to use less toxic
solvents, reduce the stages of synthetic routes and minimize waste as far as practically possible.
In this way, organic synthesis will be part of the effort for sustainable development. In this
presentation I am going to discuss about 12 principles of green chemistry with their examples
and their impact in present and future organic synthetic chemistry.
Abstract
Computer is compulsory in this highly developed era and pharmacy and related subjects are not
exception to it. This review mainly focuses on the various applications, softwares and use of
computers in pharmacy. Within the pharmaceutical industry we have progressed from the point
where computers in the laboratory were rarely present or used beyond spreadsheet calculations.
Now computers are ubiquitous in pharmaceutical research and development laboratories, and
nearly everyone has at least one used in some way to aid in his or her role.. Computer
significantly reduces the time, expenditure, and manpower required for any kind of work.
Development of various software makes it trouble-free to handle huge data. In short, computers
are playing critical role in pharmacy field, without computers pharmacy research will be long-
lasting and expensive.

Abstract
Free radical defined as an atom or molecule containing one or more unpaired electrons in
valence shell or outer orbit and is capable of independent existence. Because of non-bonding
electrons, free radicals have affinity to react with other compounds and act as electron acceptors
or oxidizing agents. Main oxidants include reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitrogen (RNS),
chloride (RCS) and sulfur. The most important antioxidant and major cause of oxidative damage
to the body’s biomolecules is ROS. ROS plays an important role in the formation of reactive
species such as RNS. Free radicals cause different types of chemical changes in DNA; therefore
they could be mutagenic and involved in etiology of cancer. In comparison to normal cells,
cancer cells have higher levels of ROS and more susceptible to mitochondrial dysfunction due to
their higher metabolic rate. Cancer cells display elevated levels of oxidative stress due to
activation of oncogenes and loss of tumor suppressors. ROS altered the growth signals and gene
expression cause continuous proliferation of cancer cells. ROS damage to the breast epithelium
lead to fibroblasts proliferation, hyperplasia of epithelium, cellular atypia and breast cancer.
Majority of breast carcinomas the oxidative stress induced by over expression of thymidine
phosphorylase enzyme which catabolizes thymidine to thymine and 2-deoxy-D-ribose-1-
phosphate; the latter is a powerful reducing sugar that rapidly glycates proteins, generating
oxygen radicals inside the carcinoma cell. Another breast specific mechanism of oxidative stress
induction involves a mammary gland specific lactoperoxidase enzyme catalyzed one electron
oxidation of 17-β-oestradiol to a reactive phenoxyl radical.
