The antiproliferative activity experiments were developed using HeLa, CaSKi and SiHa cervical cancer cell lines, and was evaluated by the MTT assay. In every single experiment, Cisplatin as internal control was employed. The cytotoxic assessment revealed that the four compounds did not significantly affect the viability on normal cells, whereas the antiproliferative activity on cancer cells was variable, according to the substituent located at position 3 of the coumarin core. It is worth mentioning that compound 1c, compared with the other products, presented a remarkable effect against CaSKi cell line, likewise 1d but in HeLa cells. These findings suggest that there is a relationship between biological activity and the alkoxycarbonyl chain since this is the only structural difference among the four tested compounds.

So, in the present study preformulation studies were performed on Dolasetron (DS) to assess its suitability for nasal formulation. DS is a specific and selective serotonin subtypes 3 (5-HT) receptor antagonists, used to treat chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The authenticity of DS was established by DSC and FITR spectra. An UV spectrophotometric method and HPLC method were employed for determination of DS in bulk and blood plasma respectively. Saturation solubility, micromeritical properties, melting point, pH, hygroscopicity and stability profile were studied. The UV method was linear in the range of 5-50 μg/ml. The low % CV values of intra-day and inter-day variations revealed that the proposed method is robust. The retention time of DS in HPLC method was found to be 2.8 min. The method was proven robust by obtaining very high regression coefficient value (0.999). The results of the physicochemical study of drug revealed suitability of DS for nasal route. Moreover, the drug was found stable in both solid as well as liquid state at different conditions.","PeriodicalId":233230,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pharmacy And Health Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122677058","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}
