Neem is also applied on wounds in the form of aqueous extracts of various parts of the plant but is associated with problems of stability on long term storage. Objective: In the present work, the aim was to incorporate Neem (Azadirachta indica) extract in hydrogel system and prepare microbeads for application on wounds. Material and methods: The microbeads were prepared by mixing of drug and polymers to cause poly ionic complexation. The formulation was evaluated for various pharmaceutical parameters such as Solubility, Drug Release, Water Holding Capacity, % Drug Entrapped, Bead Diameter Measurement and Antimicrobial study. Result and Discussion: The evaluation of the optimized batch showed % drug entrapped to be 5.61 %, drug release of 65.688% in phosphate buffer pH 8 within 5 hrs and water uptake of 80% which were similar to the solutions obtained by the design expert DX7 Statease software. This suggested that the optimization model is validated. The microbeads of the optimized batch had a diameter of approximately 80 μm. Conclusion: Polymeric encapsulation in the form of beads allowed controlled delivery as well as enhanced stability of Azadirachtin. It provides a cost-effective antimicrobial therapy.","PeriodicalId":13749,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES AND RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80204970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The four species causing human infections are P falciparum, P vivax, P malariae and P ovale. P falciparum causes the majority of infections and is main culprit for most severe disease and mortality. Whereas P. vivax and P. ovale form resting stages in the liver (hypnozoites), that once reactivated, can lead to a clinical relapse many months after the initial event. The effective treatment is now compounded by the spread of drug resistant strains of the parasite. As a result, traditional alkaloid drugs such as chloroquine and quinine are now largely ineffective. The spread of parasite resistance has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to predict that without new antimalarial drug intervention, the number of cases of malaria will definitely increase. The growing menace of drug resistance has greatly complicated the treatment for malaria. Whereas chloroquine and sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine could once cure most infections, this is no longer true and requires examination of alternative regimens for the treatment of malaria. Artemisinin-based combinations are now widely accepted as the best treatments for uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Such combination treatments are rapid and reliably effective. The efficacy of the treatment is determined by the drug partnering the artemisinin derivative and, for artesunate-mefloquine, artemether-lumefantrine, and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine, this usually exceeds 95%. This paper unfolds resistance to various conventional antimalarials and brief outline about artemisinin derivatives.","PeriodicalId":13749,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES AND RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83501104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The urge to beautify one’s own body and look beautiful has been an urge in the human race since the tribal days. Assorted beauty products such as skincare products, hair products, fragrances, oral hygiene, and nail products, which may contain toxic chemicals that can be harmful to health are used especially by women. Since long time cosmetics have been known to enhance the appearance of the human body. In a society obsessed with beauty, people are lured to fake their appearance as a cure for their insecurities. The estimated value of cosmetic industry today is around 20 billion dollar globally. As a consumer, we are constantly attracted to using beauty and personal care products. But these products, which are supposed to make us feel healthy and look beautiful, have a deep dark side. Various toxic ingredients and hazardous chemicals used in cosmetics are incorporated in beyond acceptable limits. These chemicals may cause serious ill effects on skin and may also enter the skin and other organs causing carcinogenicity.

Magnetic Chitosan /graphene oxide (MCTS/GO) nanocomposite adsorbent was prepared by wet-spinning technique, was used as accumulation and removal of Chrysoidine Y from aqueous solution. The structure and morphology of MCTS/GO nanocomposites were investigated using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were carried out on the MCTS/GO before the Chrysoidine Y (CY) accumulation experiments. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies were conducted under different conditions (pH = 3-7 and CY concentration = 100-400 mg/L) to examine the accumultion efficiency of the MCTS/GO towards CY in aqueous solution. The kinetics data of the adsorption process were analyzed using different kinetic models in order to investigate the adsorption behavior of CY on MCTS/GO. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the MCTS/GO nanocomposites towards CY can achieve up to ~700 mg/g for the adsorption at 300 mg/L CY. Kinetic data of adsorption process were found to fit pseudo-second order model as compared with pseudo-first-order model. The intraparticle diffusion model suggested that the adsorption process of MCTS/GO towards CY was dominated by the external mass transfer of CY molecules to the surface of MCTS/GO.","PeriodicalId":13749,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES AND RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80551966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
