ABSTRACT
Aim of our present study was to formulate the Gelatin Microspheres Loaded with Lisinopril Dihydrate by using Co-acervation phase separation technique for control prolonged release of drug. Micro-particulate drug delivery of Lisinopril Dihydrate was prepared by using a blend of gelatin-carbopol 934P NF and Gelatin-Sodium alginate as release retardant.Lisinopril Dihydrate Microspheres were formulated by using different drug, gelatin-carbopol and gelatin-sodiumalginate in 6 batches was F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 & F6. All the formulations were investigated for various evaluation parameters like particle size, Bulk density, flow behavior, Entrapment efficiency, percentage yield and in vitro drug release etc. All the formulations showed good flow behavior. SEM study revealed that the spheres were almost spherical in shape with smooth surface. In-vitro drug release study showed that by increasing the polymer concentration the drug release of all the formulations were gradually decreased and the optimized formulation (F6) was able to sustain the drug release for 24 hours. So, it was concluded that gelatin microspheres loaded with Lisinopril Dihydrate can be prepared by Coacervation phase seperation  technique and used for sustaining the drug release for prolonged period of time.

1.PELLETS
Pellets are spheres of varying diameter depending on the application and the wish of the producer. Applications are found not only in the pharmaceutical industry but also in the agribusiness (e.g., fertilizer, fish food) and in the polymer industry.
In the pharmaceutical industry, Pellets can be defined as small, free-flowing, spherical particulates manufactured by the agglomeration of fine powders or granules of drug substances and excipients using appropriate processing equipment. The term also has been used to describe small rods with aspect ratios of close to unity.

ABSTRACT:
HPTLC is one type of planar chromatography and most advanced form of instrumental TLC. Now a day, HPTLC is more useful than TLC and HPLC. Because HPTLC is independent of sample application, chromatogram development, detection, etc. it is not only instrumental TLC but entire concept that include widely standardize methodology based on validated method. It is instrument controlled by software. In this review article, we discussed about which type of instrument used in HPTLC, complete HPTLC methodology, How HPTLC better than TLC.

Aim: - To search Pharmaceutical medicine (New, Safe & Effective) to enhance health and benefits of patients & community.

Trends:-Usually search a pharmaceutical medicine is starting from “Drug Discovery and Drug Development” (D4) or Pharmaceutical R&D.
D4 is very long, very costly and very complex process, so mostly companies put together D4 plan. Drug Discovery and Drug Development is the treds of searching a Pharmaceutical medicine

ABSTRACT
Despite a company's best efforts to design, manufacture and sell safe and reliable products, the possibility still exists that dangerously defective products may reach the customers. These products may cause accidents,leading to adverse verdicts in product liability litigations.There for Quality management of Complaints and Product recalls are essential to ensure the safety of customer.

ABSTRACT:
Food additives have been much important in food product manufacturing. Additive” became almost synonymous with “adulteration. Food additives are used in the food product toprovide nutrition,to maintain product quality and freshness, to look good. There are many type of food additives are available in the market like anti-oxidants, preservatives,Emulsifier and stabilizers,Sweetener, etc.The “E” number system, intended to assist as a short code for some of the lengthier chemical names and to indicate common European safety approval.

ABSTRACT
An isocratic reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for estimation of montelukast sodium and levocetirizine in bulk dosage and in marketed formulations has been devised and validated. The chromatographic separation achieved on shodex c18-4E column (5µm, 250 mm x 4.6 mm) and  acetonitrile: methanol: ammonium acetate buffer (PH- 5.5) in the ratio of 25:55:20 v/v. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and the UV detection was identified at 225nm.The retention times for montelukast sodium and levocetirizine was found to be 5.15 min and 3.12 min respectively. The linearity of montelukast sodium and levocetirizine is 10 -50µg/ml with the correlation co efficient 0.99 respectively. The validation parameters such as accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ, Robustness, ruggedness were performed as per ICH guidelines. This method can be used for routine analysis of montelukast sodium and levocetirizine in bulk and marketed dosage forms.

ABSTRACT:
India suffers from the highest number of deaths - around 1,05,000 in absolute terms annually- due to road accidents in the world owing to poor infrastructure and dangerous driving habits according to the World Health Organisation¹. Calling road fatalities an "epidemic" that will become the world's fifth biggest killer by 2030². It is said that 90% of deaths on the world's roads occur in low and middle-income countries (21.5 and 19.5 per lakh of population, respectively) though they have just 48% of all registered vehicles.

Abstract:
Two methods are described for the simultaneous determination of Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone in binary mixture. The first method was based on UV-spectrophotometric determination of two drugs, using simultaneous equation method. It involves absorbance measurement at 282.5 nm (λmax of Chlorzoxazone) and 248.0 nm (λmax of Paracetamol) in methanol; linearity was obtained in the range of 5 – 25 μg.mL-1 for both the drugs. The second method was based on HPLC separation of the two drugs in reverse phase mode using Promosil C18 column. Linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 100-500 μg.mL-1 for Paracetamol and 50-250 for  the Chlorzoxazone. Both these methods have been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulation and were validated according to ICH guidelines.
