{"title":"BILE AND ACID TOLERANCE ABILITY OF PROBIOTIC LACTOBACILLUS STRAINS","authors":"K. Singhal, H. Joshi","doi":"10.1234/JGPT.V2I12.318","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1234/JGPT.V2I12.318","url":null,"abstract":"Lactobacillus makes up an extremely important group of probiotic bacteria and is used in many probiotic dairy products. Probiotics are live microbial food supplements which beneficially affect the host by improving the intestinal microbial balance. Probiotic bacteria used as food adjuncts are commonly delivered in a food system and their journey starts from the mouth to lower intestinal tract. Therefore probiotic bacteria must overcome physical and chemical barriers such as bile and acid in the gastrointestinal tract. Hence, tolerances to bile and acid are the two most important properties for selection of potential probiotic strains. The aim of this research was to find out the ability of bile and acid tolerance of the three isolates namely Lactobacillus plantarum CM 25, Lactobacillus. casei subsp. rhamnosus CM 33 and Lactobacillus. casei subsp. casei CM 34. Bile tolerance of the isolates was tested against three concentrations 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% of sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate both. With increase in the concentration of bile salts the growth of all the isolates was decreased. Among all the three isolates tested Lactobacillus plantarum CM 25 and Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei CM 34 showed highest survival at 0.3% concentration of sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate respectively. Among the two bile salts used, more tolerance of the isolates was found against sodium taurocholate. Acid tolerance of the isolates was tested at various acidic pH values ranging from pH 2.0 to 6.0. Survival percentage of all the three isolates decreased along with the decrease in pH. Lactobacillus plantarum CM 25 showed the highest survival at pH 2.0. These findings suggest that all the three Lactobacillus isolates are capable to grow in the presence of bile salts and acid.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"17-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85757603","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}

Experimental findings on ecdysteroids have indicated their anabolic and cholesterol level reducing effects and antiglycaemic activity. Ecdysteroid- containing preparations are recommended for hypotension, hepatoprotective, immunoprotective, antioxidant and hypoglycemic agents. It also can be used as a novel drug molecule with potent biological activity as it possess basic steroidal moiety but have higher margin of safety as compared to the chemical steroid derivatives (with low margin of safety). Further research is envisaged towards the search of new phytoecdysteroid molecules and also optimization of techniques involved in extraction and isolation of potent phytochemicals so as to preserve its pharmacological properties.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85815856","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}

Both the models exhibited good correlation between the calculated 3D-QSAR fields and the observed biological activity for the respective training set compounds. The most optimal CoMFA and CoMSIA models yielded significant leave-one-out cross-validation coefficient, q 2 of 0.762, 0.767 and conventional cross-validation coefficient, r 2 of 0.954, 0.985 respectively. These validation tests not only revealed the robustness of the models but also demonstrated that for our models r 2 pred based on the mean activity of test set compounds can accurately estimate external predictivity. The factors affecting activity were analyzed carefully according to standard coefficient contour maps of steric, electrostatic, hydrophobic, acceptor and donor fields derived from the CoMFA and CoMSIA. These contour plots identified several key features which explain the wide range of activities. The results obtained from models offer important structural insight into designing novel Cb1 inverse agonists prior to their synthesis.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"32-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81003970","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}

Method for extraction of mucilage from the seeds was developed and it was separated. The separated mucilage was evaluated for various parameters as per Indian pharmacopoeia. The disintegrating efficiency of separated mucilage was compared with that of the starch in tablets prepared using lactose, Paracetamol and poly vinyl pyrrolidone as model diluent, drug and binder respectively. The disintegration time for tablet formulations prepared using mucilage was less then that was prepared by using starch as a disintegrant.","PeriodicalId":15889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Pharma Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":"26-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87976936","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}
