Fluoxetine , a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor produced a significant effect only on first and third day of its treatment. Biochemical analysis revealed that chronic swim test significantly increased lipid peroxidation and decreased in the levels of super oxide dismutase ( SOD) in the brains of mice. Fluoxetine affected the biochemical variables not to the same extent as other treatments. The findings of the present study suggests that oxidative stress might play a significant role in the pathophysiology of CFS.

This inherent property is greatly employed for topical application of several drugs. Skin penetration of various drugs as well as cosmetic products depends upon skin hydration. Trans-epidermal water loss causes drying of skin thereby making stratum corneum more impermeable to most topical drugs. Solid lipid nanoparticles being smaller in size offer less inter-particles space for water evaporation. It is therefore necessary to evaluate its occlusive effect by some parameters. In the present study we prepared dithranol loaded solid lipid nanoparticles by using tristearin as lipid matrix. In-vitro occlusive studies were performed using water-vapour permeability evaluation. Method is simple and economic. Studies revealed that SLN reduced 14.89 % trans-epidermal water loss when compared to normal formulations. Scanning electron microscopy and particle size distribution studies were also performed. Our method produced SLN having 332 nm sizes with very less polydispersity and good spherical shapes. It can therefore be concluded that SLN carrier can be an advantageous choice for topical drug application as well as cosmetics.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"14-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85533221","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 ethanol, and water extracts of Alangium salvifolium bark were obtained and subjected for phytochemical screening and evaluated for their antidiabetic activity in alloxan induced diabetic rats. From the acute toxicity study it was observed that ethanol, and aqueous extracts of Alangium salvifolium bark are non-toxic at a fixed dose of 2000 mg/kg. Ethanol and aqueous extracts had exhibited significant (P<0.01) protection and lowered the blood glucose levels in oral glucose tolerance test as well as in alloxan induced diabetic rats with respect to standard metformin (P<0.01). Ethanol extract significantly (P<0.01) restored body weight in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The results of biochemical estimation showed that the ethanol extract was most active in normalizing the blood serum parameters pertaining to liver function test, an attempt was also made to see that is there any correlation between the active extract and metformin significantly (P<0.01).

AEDs may have an impact in modulating O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a DNA repair protein that has an important role in tumour cell resistance to alkylating agents. Levetiracetam (LEV) is the most potent MGMT inhibitor among several AEDs with diverse MGMT regulatory actions. A QSAR study has been performed by taking 64 analogs of Levetiracetam. Various 2D Constitutional, Geometrical and Chemical Feature Distance Matrix (CFDM) descriptors were generated by using Molegro Data Modeller V2.5.0 tool. The consequence was calculated for each type of descriptors by taking the Andrews coefficient as dependent variable. Multiple regression analysis was performed by Minitab 16 tool. Good correlation R-sq value 0.93 was obtained from the CFDM descriptors in comparison to 2D Constitutional, Geometrical descriptor calculation. The results were also further verified by using PLS (Partial Least Square), SVM (Support vector machines) and ANN (artificial neural networks) based calculation. The results obtained were consistent with ANN statistics and the ANN based method show R-sq value as 0.93 in case of CFDM descriptor which was observed to be the highest among above three methods of analysis. The results obtained with these models suggest, for this particular drug CFDM descriptors modulates strongly the activity rather than 2D Constitutional & Geometrical Descriptor.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89342930","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}
