Several Chinese news channels reported death of a man due to hanta virus and the other 32 people were tested along, those who were in contact. There was indeed a risk of another outbreak while the whole world was still suffering from the COVID-19 crisis. Several novel Hantaviruses with unknown pathogenic potential have been identified in a variety of insectivore hosts. With the new hosts, new geographical distributions of Hantaviruses have also been discovered and several new species were found in Africa. Hantavirus infection in humans can result in two clinical syndromes: haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) caused by Old World and New World hantaviruses, respectively. This review focuses on the molecular properties of Hantaviruses that were found in the recent outbreaks, with a focus on epidemiology, the pathogenicity is described in relation to human as a host also diagnostic and possible treatment approaches have been described, microbiology remains a choice of interest as it is important to know complete structural components of the virus in order to tackle and block the lethal pathogenic abilities. The pathogenesis is likely to be a complex multifactorial process that includes contributions from immune responses, platelet dysfunction and the deregulation of endothelial cell barrier functions. This review summarizes recent data documenting interactions established by pathogenic Hantaviruses with their natural or human hosts that could highlight their different outcomes.","PeriodicalId":23030,"journal":{"name":"The Pharma Innovation Journal","volume":"96 1","pages":"240-245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90777906","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 various steps in manufacturing processes must be validated as it is essential for quality to be built into the manufacturing processes of drugs. In this study, we discuss the Process validation of Artesunate (Art) tablets and Amodiaquine (Amod) tablets. The following critical tests were performed on the blend; Assay, blend uniformity studies, blend characteristics and flowability properties (Bulk Density, Tap Density, Compressibility Index, Hausner Ratio), resistance to Segregation studies, Loss on Drying and Blend hold-time studies. The following analytical tests were performed on the compressed tablets; Identification, weight variation, Disintegration, Hardness, Average weight, Loss on Drying, Friability, Assay, Dissolution, Thickness and Uniformity of Dosage Unit. The following were performed on the packaged finished products; leak test, Print quality, carton seal integrity. Percentage yield was also determined. The following statistical tools were used in the data evaluation; F-test, Shapiro-Wilk test, Kurtosis, Skewness, T-test emanating from regression analysis, Tests for Normality and Tests for Significant differences. Results indicated an acceptable level of homogeneity within a batch and a high level of consistencies between batches.

Principal component analysis was utilized to evaluate the variation and to estimate the relative contribution of various traits for total variability. Results revealed five principal components with eigen value > 1. These components contributed for a total variability of 78.2632 per cent. Component 1 (PC 1) had contributed maximum of 34.9423 per cent while PC 2 had contributed to 18.7909 per cent, PC 3 had contributed 11.2637 per cent, PC 4 had contributed 6.9756 and PC 5 had contributed to 6.2906 towards the total variability. The characters, namely, milling per cent, iron content, plant height and head rice recovery were observed to explain maximum variance in PC 1.
