Through this route it is possible to realize mucosal (local effect) and transmucosal (systemic effect) drug administration. In the first case, the aim is to achieve a site-specific release of the drug on the mucosa, whereas the second case involves drug absorption through the mucosal barrier to reach the systemic circulation.Absorption through the buccal mucosa overcomes premature drug degradation due to the enzyme activity and pH of gastro intestinal tract, avoids active drug loss due to presystemic metabolism, acid hydrolysis and therapeutic plasma concentration of the drug can be rapidly achieved. The adhesive properties of such drug delivery platforms can reduce the enzymatic degradation due to the increased intimacy between the delivery vehicle and the absorbing membrane. However, per oral administration of drugs has disadvantages such as hepatic first pass metabolism and enzymatic degradation within the GI tract, that prohibit oral administration of certain classes of drugs especially peptides and proteins. Consequently, other absorptive mucosa is considered as potential sites for drug administration. Transmucosal routes of drug delivery offer distinct advantages over per oral administration for systemic drug delivery.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"2654-2660"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75490397","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}

They are also used as psycho-physiological stimuli to increase the physiological functionsand human performance. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 60 male medical students in first yearM.B.B.S, who came voluntarily as subjects for the project with written consent. Their age ranged between 18-24 years. All the participants were given training for 15 days by a certified yoga teacher and were allowed to practice pranayama and suryanamaskar exercise for one hour every day in the evening for a duration of six months. Five types of pranayama namely; Bhastrika pranayama, Anulomavilom pranayama, Bhramari pranayama and Pranava pranayama were chosen for this study. Various static spirometry tests were done to measure the Tidal volume (TV), Slow vital capacity (SVC), Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), Expiratory reserve volume (ERV). Pulmonary function test was performed in all the participants using computerized pulmonary testing machine (Helios401, RMS).Results:The obtained data was analyzed for statistical significance using SPSS software of 22.0 version followed by students t test and p<0.005 was considered the level of significance. There was significant increase in all these variables(p<0.001) in the study group after six months of yoga. Conclusion: From this study we concluded that, the practice of yoga can be advocated to improve respiratory efficiency for healthy individuals as well as an alternative therapy or as adjunct to conventional therapy in respiratory diseases and improve the anesthetic fitness for cardiothoracic surgery. ⇑ Corresponding author at: K.

Another important aspect is global warming that has already altered the distribution of vector borne diseases (IPCC fourth assessment report). Uses of synthetic insecticides to control vector mosquitoes has not only affected humans but has also caused adverse environmental effects in addition to high operational cost. Chemical mosquito repellent has a remarkable safety profile, but they are toxic to human health causing various side effects. Hence giving importance to health of human beings together with the environment, a mosquito repellent solution was prepared. The solution was prepared using the natural oils such as neem (Azadirachta indica), lemon grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus). All the oils were experimented using different concentrations. The experiment was conducted in a society where the people were already suffering from vector borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and chikungunya. The solution proved to be very effective for repelling of the mosquitoes and also did not cause any effect on the human beings. In addition to this, the solution is affordable by the poor communities.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"33 1","pages":"2641-2647"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82558989","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}

Objectives: To perform the phase solubility studies, for to determine the ratio of drug: carrier ratio in the formation of complexes. Physico-chemical characterization of complexes by DSC and X-ray diffraction studies. To check the superiority of selected superdisintegrants [sodium starch glycolate (SSG), croscarmellose sodium (CCS), crospovidone (CPV)] in enhancing the dissolution rate of TDF. To fasten the onset of action and thereby increasing TDF’s bioavailability in comparison to its conventional tablets. Methods: Standard calibration curve of TDF in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer was constructed by spectrophotometric method, drug-excipient compatibility was checked by FT-IR studies. All the Formulations were evaluated for pre& post-compression studies. Accelerated stability studies up to 3 months were conducted for the optimized formulation, as per ICH guidelines. Results and Discussions: polymers used in the study are compatible with TDF. Pre& postcompression parameters were within the acceptable limits for all formulations. In vitro dissolution kinetic studies indicate the release of TDF from ODT increases with the increased concentration of superdisintegrants. The order of superdisintegrants in enhancing the dissolution rate of TDF is CPV>SSG>CCS. Formulation F6, had the highest dissolution efficiency at 5 min (DE5=39.55 %); first order dissolution rate constant (K1 =0.1052 min-1) with a regression coefficient (r2=0. 9844) and lesser time for 50% of drug release (t50=4 min), was considered as the optimal ODT. It passed the test for stability as per ICH guidelines. Conclusion: The optimized TDF ODT with its 1:4 βCD complex was formulated by the direct compression technique, with 6% w/w CPV as superdisintegrant, which will fasten the onset of action and enhances the bioavailability of TDF in comparison to its conventional tablets.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"2631-2640"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88507220","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}
