The objective of the present research was to study the original flowability, compressibility and compactibility of Adhatoda vasica leaf powder and develop its tablet formulations by wet granulation and direct compression technology. The consolidation behaviors of powder and tablet formulations were studied by using Heckel and Leuenberger equation. Adhatoda vasica leaf powder showed very poor flowability and compactibility. Kawakita analysis revealed improved flowability for formulations prepared by direct compression and wet granulation technique. The Heckel plot showed that Adhatoda vasica leaf powder is soft in nature, poor in die filling. Granules showed higher degree of plasticity and fragmentation than leaf powder and direct compression formulation. The compression susceptibility parameter for compact formed by direct compression and wet granulation technique indicated that the maximum crushing strength is reached faster at lower pressures of compression. Brittle fracture index value revealed that tablets prepared from granules showed lesser fracture tendency than the direct compression formulation. From this study, it is concluded that desired flowability, compressibility and compactibility of Adhatoda vasica leaf powder can be obtained by direct compression and wet granulation technique.

Antioxidant activity of the ethanol crude extract of bark of Manilkara zapota was assessed in vitro using DPPH, reducing power capacity, total antioxidant, total phenol and total flavonoid content assays at different concentration. The extract exhibited potent antioxidant activity compared to known antioxidant. The potent extract of MZB was tested for in vivo efficacy by carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) induced liver damage rats in hepatoprotective model. CCl 4 produced significant alteration of serum marker enzymes, total bilirubin, total protein and liver weight. The extract significantly restored of these values towards normal compared to control group. Due to its natural origin and potent free radical scavenging ability MZB could be used as a potential preventive intervention for free radical mediated diseases.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"127 6 1","pages":"23-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87761052","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 mouth dissolving tablets of both resinates and granules were prepared with different superdisintegrants e.g. cross carmallose sodium, crosspovidone & Indion 234 in different concentration. The blend was examined for their flow properties. The tablets were evaluated for physiochemical properties. The tasteless blends having good flow properties. The prepared zero defect mouth dissolving tablets were passed all the official and non-official parameters. The disintegration time was also tested and was found to be less than one minute. A tablet having resinates shows less time for onset of action of drug due to enhanced and fast release of Tramadol hydrochloride. It was concluded that tablets prepared by addition of superdisintegrant Indion 234 has less disintegration time, fast and more dug release than those prepared by crosspovidone.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"17-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72772660","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}
