The formulation was capable in delaying onset of drug dissolution for a programmed lag time period of 3-5 h in the hostile environment of upper gastrointestinal tract. The optimized enteric coated formulations containing 30% guar gum released only 5-12% approximately of 5-FU during 5 h dissolution studies in hostile physiological environment of stomach (pH 1.2) and small intestine (pH 7.2). The guar gum was found susceptible and encountered by colonic microfloras and released significant amount of 5-FU in simulated colonic fluids containing rat caecal contents (2 and 4% w/v) at the end of 24 h drug dissolution studies under anaerobic atmosphere. Furthermore, in -vivo studies were performed in order to examine the fate/ transit of formulations in gastrointestinal tract of albino rats, to validate the in-vitro methodology.

Petroleum ether, acetone, methanol and water extracts of Dryopteris cochleata were tested for antibacterial activity towards some pathogenic bacterial strains. Both acetone and methanol extracts exhibited antibacterial activity; maximum activity was shown by acetone extract compared to others. Antibacterial activity was confirmed by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). MIC and MBC values of acetone extract of 12.5mg/ml and 25mg/ml were observed towards Staphyococcus albus while MIC and MBC values of 25mg/ml and 50mg/ml were observed towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Flavonoids, phenols, steroids were detected in acetone and methanol extracts.
