Liquefaction or disintegration time (minutes) followed this order: ACB(4.40±0.84) <AGL(6.20±0.83) <AGP(7.14±0.84) < AGF(11.45±2.20) while cumulative drug release (%) is AGP> AGF >AGL>ACB (p<0.05). Results obtained indicated that the bases used generally could be ranked in the order of GL > GP > GF > CB (p<0.05) in terms of favourable physicochemical properties investigated.

Critical factors were optimised; evidence for new product formation, selection of analytical wavelengths, temperature and time and solvent for dilution. Validation was carried out according to ICH guidelines. The new methods were used for isoniazid tablets. Isoniazid formed an imine and azo adduct readily with the two reagents at 30 0C after 5 and 20 mins, and determined at 405 and 420 nm, respectively. Low LODs were obtained for the two methods and recoveries were generally above 98%. The methods were successfully adopted for the assay of isoniazid in tablets and there were no significant differences in the contents when compared with the official titrimetric method of analysis. The methods could find application as in-process method in pharmaceutical industries.","PeriodicalId":6962,"journal":{"name":"ACTA Pharmaceutica Sciencia","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68931025","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}

MHE was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic potentials using the egg albumin inflammatory model and alloxan-induced diabetic rat model, respectively. MHE produced both dose-dependent and time-dependent inhibition of oedema development with its maximum effect (69.6%) produced at the dose of 300 mg/kg. The acute in vivo antidiabetic study revealed that MHE produced significant hypoglycaemic effects at doses of 200 mg/kg (54% reduction) and 400 mg/kg (59% reduction), comparable to glibenclamide (5 mg/kg) which caused a 42% decrease, while all the treatment groups produced at least 25% reduction in blood glucose level for the chronic study.
