Usha Veerachari, Bopaiah AK, Senthilkumar U, Jyothi SG, Somashekariah BV, Ravikanth G

To establish a comparative account within the taxa by assessing its anti-oxidative property and mapping it with the morphometric characters. The methanolic leaf extracts of 12 Cassia L. species were screened for their antioxidant activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and reducing power capability with reference to standard Ascorbic acid. Chamaecrista kleinii exhibited strong antioxidant activity with IC50 2.17 µg mL-1, followed with Senna auriculata (IC50 11.51 µg mL-1) and Senna polyphylla (15.17 µg mL-1). Highest reducing ability was observed in Senna auriculata extract with 0.676 nm absorbance. The correlation observed between the reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging assay supports the contribution of the phytoconstitutents like phenolics and flavonoids towards managing oxidative stress. The present study reveals the beneficiary effects of the selected plants by virtue of their antioxidant activity that can be harnessed in drug formulations. Keywords: Antioxidant, 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl, reducing power, Cassia.

Methods to Determine Vertical Jaw Relation- Review

Dr. Priscilla Shalini, Narayana Reddy

Management of worn dentition using fixed or removable prostheses is complex and among the most difficult cases to restore. Evaluation of vertical dimension is important for the management, and comprehensive treatment plan is required for all cases. Articulated casts and diagnostic wax-up provide a important information which and helpful for the evaluation of treatment options. Minimal changes to vertical dimension of occlusion is usually confirmed with the clinical evaluation of the patient using diagnostic splint or provisional prosthesis. Nevertheless, occlusal wear of prosthetic teeth is a normal process during the lifetime of a denture.  In this line, vertical dimension(VD) assessment should be conservative and with careful approach and it should not be changed. Particularly, increasing the VD for bruxism patients puts a severe overload on the teeth and it often results in the destruction of the restorations.

Immediate Denture - Case Report

S. Priscilla Shalini, Narayana Reddy

Dentures (also known as artificial teeth) are the prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, and are supported by the surrounding hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable (removable partial denture or complete denture). However, there are many denture designs, some which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants (fixed prosthodontics). Dentures can help people through: Mastication or chewing ability is improved by replacing edentulous areas with denture teeth. Aesthetics, because the presence of teeth gives a natural appearance to the face, and wearing a denture to replace missing teeth provides support for the lips and cheeks and corrects the collapsed appearance that results from the loss of teeth. There are different types of complete dentures like: traditional/conventional complete full dentures, partial dentures, custom dentures, immediate dentures, implant supported dentures, snap-in dentures, overdentures, upper dentures.

Formulation Development of Pulsatile Drug Delivery of Tiotropium Bromide

C.Murali Krishna Goud* Y. Sravani

A Pulsatile drug delivery system delivers drug in rapid and burst manner within a short time after a lag time. There are many situations where drug is needed to be released immediately (after bursting the delaying film coat) at specific site. The aim of present work is to develop Pulsatile drug delivery of Tiotropium Bromide using press coating method. All the formulations have shown satisfactory results for various physicochemical parameters like hardness, friability, thickness, weight variation. Ethyl cellulose has predominant effect on the lag time, while also shows significant effect on drug release.  Press coated tablet shows a delayed release pattern. Among all the core tablet formulations T7 was selected based on drug release within a given period of time.  In-vitro release rate studies showed that the P3T7 was optimized based on less amount of drug release during lag time. Formulations P3T7 found to be stable at 45o C and 75% RH for a period of 6 months. FT-IR studies revealed that there was no interaction between Tiotropium bromide and the polymers.

Ion Exchange Resin: A Novel Drug Delivery System An overview

Mhetre RM, Kandale JB, Gunale SB

Ion exchange resins are cross-linked water insoluble polymer-carrying, ionisable functional groups. IER have received considerable attention from pharmaceutical scientists because of their versatile properties as drug delivery vehicles. Research over the last few years has revealed that IER are equally suitable for drug delivery technologies, including controlled release, transdermal, nasal, topical and taste masking. The major drawback of sustained release of extended release or extended release is dose dumping, resulting in increased risk of toxicity. The use of IER has occupied an important place in the development of controlled- or sustained-release systems because of their better drug-retaining properties and prevention of dose dumping. Synthetic ion exchange resins have been used in pharmacy and medicine for taste masking or controlled release of drug. Drug resin complexation converts drug to amorphous form leading to improved drug dissolution. Several studies have reported the use of IER for drug delivery at the desired site of action.

Nutritional Beverages

Poonam Arora, S. H. Ansari, S. Arora

The word ‘Beverage’ has been derived from the Latin word ‘bever’ meaning rest from work. At the most basic level, beverage are the portable drinks other than water that humans can consume to satisfy energy, thirst or hydration. Beverages are not usually consumed for their food value, but many, particularly the fruit drinks, contain quite a high percentage of sugar, vitamins and minerals, and, therefore, add to the energy content of the diet. They may be in the form of freshly squeezed juices to chemical-packed energy drinks. For hundreds of thousands of years, the idea of a beverage was restricted to water, milk or any fruit juice but with passage of time, there came alcohol, wine, various teas, coffees, cocktails, ciders and sodas, A wide range of plant materials are used to manufacture beverages. Broadly, there are two types of beverages alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage”. Former is used as a generic term for beverages that contain more than 2.50% alcohol by volume, nevertheless such that the minimum age provision in applies to beverages containing between 0.70 and 2.50 per cent alcohol by volume. These include leaves, stems, sap, fruits, tubers, and seeds (grains). China and India are the fastest growing markets for non-alcoholic beverages.

Design of Novel Protein Kinase Inhibitors Using the Naturally Occurring Staurosporine Scaffold as a Lead

Elena Mallia, Dr Claire Shoemake

Staurosporine is a naturally occurring alkaloid isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces staurosporesa. It inhibits the protein kinases class of enzymes (including protein kinase C) inducing apoptosis and thus resulting in it having potential anti-tumour activity. Recent studies showed that staurosporine had high affinity for the protein kinase C receptor, however lacked selectivity resulting in a wide adverse effect profile. Thus, this study targets the protein kinase C receptor for the development of novel structures capable of its inhibition using staurosporine as template molecule. This study has yielded two molecular cohorts, one from each approach. These were filtered for Lipinski Rule compliance and segregated into families of pharmacophoric similarity and ranked in order of affinity. The molecules with the best ligand binding affinities were generated using the de novo approach. The best molecule from the de novo approach had an affinity of 10, while the best molecule from the virtual screening approach had an affinity of 9.65. This study was valuable in demonstrating that the staurosporine scaffold was suitable for the identification and design of high affinity structures capable of modulating the protein kinase C receptor through two distinct approaches- de novo design and virtual screening. The affinities of the optimal molecules exceeded that of stautosporine, and these molecules will be proposed for further study. Specifically, their enhanced molecular interactions will be explained from an atomic perspective, and also through molecular dynamic simulation studies.
