There is a constant demand for new therapies to treat and prevent this life – threatening disease. The plant kingdom produces naturally occurring secondary metabolites which are being investigated for the anticancer activities for the development of new clinical drugs. For many years herbal medicines have been used and are still used in developing countries as the primary source of medical treatment. Plants have been used in the medicine for their natural antiseptic properties. Thus, research has developed into the investigating the potential properties and uses of terrestrial plants extracts for the preparation of potential nanomaterial drugs for diseases including cancer. Many plant species are already being used to treat or prevent development of cancer. This review discusses the demand for naturally derived compounds from medicinal plants and their properties which make them targets for potential anticancer treatments.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"123 1","pages":"2732-2739"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88998314","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}

Therefore, oral nanoemulsion containing Telmisartan was prepared to increase its solubility and bioavailability rate. The o/w nanoemulsion was prepared by screening the excipients from the nanoemulsion region of pseudo-ternary phase diagram. Oleic acid optimized as an oil phase based on higher solubility study. Surfactant (Tween 80) and co-surfactant (PEG 200) were mixed (Smix) in different volume ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 2:1, 3:1..). The optimized formulation containing Oleic acid (13.6%), Tween 80 (23.9%), PEG 200 (7.9%) and Methanol (54.6%) as oil, surfactant, co-surfactant and aqueous phase in Smix was prepared. Formulated nanoemulsions has to be evaluated for UV, FTIR, in vitro drug release, viscosity, particle size, product stability at accelerated conditions compared to the conventional formulation. Optimized oral nanoemulsion showed increase bioavailability.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"115 1","pages":"2711-2719"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77919117","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}

Capsules are solid dosage forms in which one or more medicinal and inert ingredients are enclosed in a small shell or container usually made of gelatin. There are two types of capsules, “hard” and “soft”. The hard capsule is also called “two pieces” as it consists of two pieces in the form of small cylinders closed at one end, the shorter piece is called the “cap” which fits over the open end of the longer piece, called the “body”. The soft gelatin capsule is also called as “one piece”. Capsules are available in many sizes to provide dosing flexibility. Unpleasant drug tastes and odors can be masked by the tasteless gelatin shell. The administration of liquid and solid drugs enclosed in hard gelatin capsules is one of the most frequently utilized dosage. This proves the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds, delivery of low and ultra-low doses of a compound using softgel also ensures decreased plasma variability. This has led to the commercial pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries opting for the development of alternative shell forming materials instead of the traditional capsule shell material gelatin. This review discusses establishment and the ongoing development of the manufacturing technology for liquid and semisolid capsules with focus on progress and challenges of soft and hard gelatin capsules formulation in oral administration for improved solubility and as an absorption-enhancing technique. These considerations form a basis for new applications in oral drug delivery. ⇑ Corresponding author at: V.

The principle of transdermal drug delivery systems is to deliver drug across epidermis to achieve systemic effect over a prolonged period of time. Because of these attributes, transdermal drug delivery systems offer many advantages such as reduced side effects, improved patient compliance, elimination of first-pass metabolism, and sustained drug delivery. Antidiabetic drug which is important for the treatment of hyperglycemic disorders. This category of anti-diabetic drugs is rapid and almost completely absorbed from the GIT following oral administration, but undergoes extensive first pass metabolism. Therefore, the peak plasma concentration occurs rapidly and after a single oral dose and bioavailability is 56%, the half-life of elimination is 1 hour in normal subject. Hence, it is required to design a drug delivery system which may deliver antidiabetic drug Repaglinide in controlled manner for a prolonged period to circumvent the drug related side effects. Considering all these problems associated with oral administration of anti-diabetic drug Repaglinide, attempt has been made to develop transdermal drug delivery system in order to achieve a better release pattern. ⇑ Corresponding author at: MithileshSahu, NRI Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India E-mail address: mithun211@gmail.com INTRODUCTION","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"164 1","pages":"2697-2705"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86201659","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 polymers selected for the study include natural and synthetic polymer like Chitosan and sodium HPMC based on their physicochemical properties. The mucoadhesive buccal patches were prepared by solvent casting method. The prepared patches were subjected to physical evaluations, in vitro diffusion studies and stability study. All the formulations have shown good adhesive property, tensile strength, folding endurance, thickness, pH and moisture content. The diffusion studies have shown that the percentage drug release is from natural polymer (chitosan) based patches is more than the synthetic polymer (sodium HPMC) (89.5% to 97.89%) with chitosan based mucoadhesive patches and 72.97 to 88.75 patches prepared with sodium HPMC in 6 hours. The In vitro drug release, evaluation, stability and accelerated stability studies of the mucoadhesive patches shown that the formulation containing natural polymer 2% has the promising results with 97.89% drug release within 6 hours, folding endurance 211+2, patch thickness 0.7mm, surface pH 6.7, % swelling index 36% moisture content 3.3,tensile strength 2.94+3kg/cm. ⇑ Corresponding author at: Aspee Singh, Department Institute of Pharmacy, Bundelkhand University Jhansi, Uttar Prades, India E-mail address: aspeesingh786@gmail.com INTRODUCTION","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"74 1","pages":"2726-2731"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75074495","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}
