Forty per cent of our population (nearly 500 million) is in the age group of 15 to 40 years (average age would be between 25 and 29 years). The young generation with new the dreams, aspirations, expectations and political sensitivity expects the nation to fulfi l their hopes and aspirations. Young India would be a huge human resource (talent) in nation building. If moulded properly, they could not only be strength for the nation but also provide global leadership in critical areas of human endeavours. It is a great opportunity and equally a challenge. Any failure in this endeavour would be a demographic disaster. The National Knowledge Commission (NKC-2005) constituted by the honourable Prime Minister of India had ambitious vision of transforming India in to a knowledge-based society. Its ultimate goal was to address the three fundamental challenges of expansion, equity (inclusion without compromising quality) and excellence in education at all levels, more so at higher education. In order to achieve this base of our educational system has to be strengthened so that the height of the pyramid of excellence could be enhanced.

However, the prescription of MAOIs has decreased considerably as a result of side effects such as tyramine-induced hypertensive crisis, known as “Cheese Effect”. The drug delivery system itself can affect the effi cacy and bioavailability of certain drugs when medications are given by oral, intravesical and intravaginal routes. Therefore there is a need for advanced drug delivery techniques that can avoid toxic effects and improve the bioavailability at the same time. In this context, the transdermal patches of selegiline hydrochloride (SH) were prepared by the solvent casting method using hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and methyl cellulose (MC) as reservoir polymers in different ratios (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3). Rate controlling membrane was caste by using 2% ethyl cellulose (EC) membrane. The prepared patches possessed satisfactory physicochemical characteristics. The formulation exhibited fl exibility, uniform weight, thickness, smoothness, drug content (93 to 97 %), little moisture loss and moisture absorption. The in-vitro permeation studies in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) revealed formulations released drug in the range of 86.77 to 96.79% and followed diffusion mechanism. Formulations with 1:1 and 1:2 ratio released drug up to 10 to 20 h only. The optimized formulation F6 containing PVA (1:3) showed good release rate of 90.08% for 24 h. The patches were seemingly free of potential hazardous skin irritation. FT-IR and DSC studies revealed no interaction between the drug and polymers used.","PeriodicalId":21459,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"48-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78477558","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}

Hydroxypropyl guar is investigated for its binding property along with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (1% w/w) as the parallel binding agent. Tablets of metoprolol tartarate were prepared by wet granulation. Pre-compression parameters such as rate of fl ow, angle of repose, Carr’s index, Hausner’s ratio, residual moisture content and assay determinations were carried out. Hydroxypropyl guar bound granules revealed lower Carr’s index value and Hausner’s ratio in comparison to sodium carboxymethylcellulose bound granules thereby indicating better free fl owing properties. In respect to post compression parameters, tablets made with hydroxypropyl guar displayed superior hardness, lesser deviation of tablet weight about the mean, a higher value of (Crushing strength: Friability)/Disintegration time, a faster drug dissolution in comparison to sodium carboxymethylcellulose bound tablets.
