Abstract:
Mouth dissolving tablets (MDT) are useful in patients, such as pediatric, geriatric, bedridden, or developmentally disabled, who may face difficulty in swallowing conventional tablets or capsules and liquid orals or syrup, leading to ineffective therapy, with persistent nausea, sudden episodes of allergic attack, or coughing for those who have an active life style. Over the past three decades, mouth dissolving tablets have gained considerable attention as a preferred alternative to conventional tablets and capsules due to better patient compliance The objective of this article is to review the development of MDTs, challenges in formulation,  benefit, limitation ,new MDT technologies and evaluation methodologies.

INTRODUCTION
Plant remains to be the enviable source of molecules of therapeutic significance. Since antiquity, these bio resources have been in use for variety of diseases in different part of the world. Regardless of the type of plant, targeted ailment or other such parameters, the one step which is one of the most important and common is removal of the molecule or fraction or part there of from the plant biomass. Several new methods besides the usual organic solvent extraction have been developed over the last few years for the extraction of primary and secondary metabolites. These are alcohol extraction with various biocompatible solvents, recovery of carboxylic acids and antibiotics with reactive extraction, dissociation extraction, aqueous two-phase extraction, and supercritical and near critical fluid extraction. Extraction and re-extraction processes are integrated into a single step by emulsion liquid membrane and solid supported liquid membrane extractions.

ABSTRACT:
The environmental biotechnology employs the application of genetic engineering to improve the efficiency and cost which is essential to the future wide spread exploitation of microorganisms to reduce the environmental burden of toxic substances. Now a days it can be achieved by bioremediation, is the process by using microorganism metabolism to remove pollutants and organic substances. It may be employed to attack specific soil contaminants, such as degradation chlorinated hydrocarbons by bacteria.

INTRODUCTION
A biosensor is a measuring device that uses an immobilized agent to detect a chemical compound concentration or activity by converting a biological response into measurable signal as workable signal form. It is a self-contained analytical and measurable device that incorporates a biologically active  material in contact with tranducer  or detecting element to detect the concentration or activity of chemical compounds in a analyte  or sample. The obtain electrical signal it produces carries the necessary information about the process under investigation.¹

ABSTRACT
Pulmonary route of drug delivery gaining much importance in the present day research field as it enables to target the drug delivery directly to lung both for site specific and systemic treatment. The review is prepared with an aim to discuss about the technical, physiological, and efficacy aspects of the novel pulmonary route of drug targeting and different delivery devices such as metered dose inhalers (MDI), dry powder inhalers (DPI), nebulizers, etc. The review also focuses on the mechanisms of pulmonary drug administration along with compatibility of the excipients employed, devices used, techniques of particulate dosage production, evaluation and advancements in the pulmonary drug delivery. It can be concluded from whole study that different pulmonary delivery system possesses certain specificity for dosage formulations and serves as an important tool to deliver drugs to the target site.

1. Introduction
Currently natural products are gaining popularity to combat various physiological threats including oxidative stress, cardiovascular complexities, cancer insurgence, and immune dysfunction. The use of traditional remedies may be encountered more frequently due to an array of scientific evidence in their favor¹.  It has been well established that nutrition plays an important role in the etiology of hyperlipidimia, atherosclerosis and other coronary heart disease (CHD) complications like myocardial infarction¹.
The etiology and pathogencity of coronary heart diseases lie in the casual relationship between the development of atherosclerosis, elevated plasma lipid percentage cholesterol levels in blood and plasma, genetic makeup, endicrinological aberration, immunologic and autonomic factors, blood flow and coagulation².

ABSTRACT
From last two or three decay, there is a large growth in the sector of plant medicine means herbal medicine. It is due to increase of awareness and knowledge about plant. In India and China, the ratio of this growth is more than any other country of the world.  Interest the usage of various medicinal plants from traditional system of medicine for the treatment of different ailments is also history of India and China. Abutilon is an Indian medicinal genus which has a number of herbs specie,is noted for their medicinal benefits in traditional system of medicine. Abutilonis a large genus of approximately 150 species of broadleaf evergreens in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus includes annuals, perennials, shrubs, and small trees from 1–10 m tall, and is found in the tropical and subtropical regions of all continents. Some medicinally important attributes have been assigned to the plants of this species. In sort of this, the present work aim is to find out different pharmacological activity done on this Indian medicinal plant.
