Method- The tablets were prepared by the wet granulation method using polyox and osmotic agent NaCl. The granules were compressed into bilayered tablet by conventional compression machine. The bilayered core osmotic tablets were coated with cellulose acetate in a conventional pan coating. In-vitro dissolution was evaluated using USP dissolution apparatus II in 0.1 N HCl pH 1.2 buffers for 2 hrs and phosphate buffer pH 7.5 for 22 hrs respectively. The formulated optimized batch VP1 were kept to stability studies for 3 months. Result- The formulated optimized batch VP1 of PPOP tablet shows 2hrs lag time with zero order release kinetic. In –vitro drug release was obtained 91.45 % up to 22hrs respectively. Polyox in push-pull layer along with osmotic agent and cellulose acetate controlled the drug release pattern from formulated PPOP tablet. No significant changes were observed upto the period of 3 months of storage during stability study. Conclusion- The PPOP tablet of vildagliptin was able to deliver the drug in controlled pattern over a long period of time by the process of osmosis.

However, there are still a number of infectious diseases for which an effective vaccine has yet to be developed. There has been a lot of interest in RNA-based technologies for the creation of therapeutic vaccines over the last two decades. The adaptability of mRNA vaccines, as well as their potential to trigger cellular and humoral responses, are among their benefits. Furthermore, because of their intricate interaction with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), mRNAs have inherent adjuvant qualities. This identification can be advantageous in terms of stimulating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) or harmful in terms of limiting mRNA translation indirectly. We highlight how numerous innate response mechanisms are triggered by mRNA molecules, and how each element, from the 5' cap to the poly-A tail, interferes with innate/adaptive immune responses. mRNA vaccines have the ability to be developed quickly and to be a strong tool in the fight against infectious illnesses. This article provides a thorough overview of mRNA vaccines, including recommendations for future mRNA vaccine development, as well as safety concerns and personalised vaccines. We focused on mRNA delivery and immunological activation, both which have important role for successful mRNA vaccination.","PeriodicalId":8527,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78734105","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}

It is defined as a diet or part of a diet that provides health benefits of nutritious foods and helps prevent many diseases. Lifestyles have changed dramatically in the last 50 years as a result of urbanization, industrialization speed, and rapid change. These things have changed people's habits and forced them to eat fast, junk food. These habits directly affect our aspect of healthy eating and gradually reduce the amount and quality of nutrients. As a result of these changed eating habits, the population has increased the incidence of malnutrition, dementia and degenerative diseases. In recent years, people have become more concerned about health and health care. Nutraceuticals play an important role in boosting the immune system without damaging the body's natural immune system. Nutraceuticals are found in dietary supplements that offer additional health benefits also called medical diets, designer foods, active foods, and dietary supplements. Active foods are used to enhance certain bodily functions to prevent or treat infections. The medicinal plant contains many types of active phytochemicals that have therapeutic properties that address various health problems. This review explores the information available in the literature regarding health benefits of nutraceuticals and many other herbal plants. So here, an attempt is made to highlights the significance or importance of nutraceuticals and herbal plants with respect to health diseases and many other problems related to health. Therefore, the future nutraceutical program focuses on specific diagnostic models, clinical studies in humans, understanding the exact mechanism of action that is useful in the prevention and treatment of diseases.

They have advantageous for use in patients suffering from swallowing difficulty and receiving multiple drug treatment. They provide a more effective treatment by reducing the fluctuation in the drug’s release profile. At the same time, different release systems can be used together. In addition, Mini Tablets have a number of advantages over single unit dosage forms, and in recent years the prominence continues to increase. In the light of this information, the advantages and disadvantages of mini tablets, production equipment, formulation designs, different emission characteristics and evaluation criteria are emphasized in this compilation. Mini tablets represent a new trend in solid dosage form design, with the main goal of overcoming some therapeutic obstacles. Mini tablets are multiple unit dosage forms and are advantageous than pellets or any other oral dosage forms as they are easy to manufacture and stability problems are less.","PeriodicalId":8527,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74671340","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 radio-labelled floating tablets were prepared by adding barium sulphate in the optimized formulations for in- vivo radiographic study. The Results of multiple regression analysis indicated that both factors X1 and X2 significantly affected on the dependent parameters. The formulation was optimized on the basis of floating ability and in-vitro drug release. It should be concluded that as the time increases, the swelling index was increased, because weight gain by tablet was increased proportionally with rate of hydration.

The in-vivo X-ray imaging and radiographic studies clearly indicated that the prepared optimized floating tablets were retained in the rabbit stomach over a prolonged period of time and had good in-vivo performance.
