ABSTRACT:
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most serious complications related to diabetes, often leading to end-stage kidney disease. Purple corn grown in Peru and Chile is a relative of blue corn, which is readily available in the U.S. The maize is rich in anthocyanins (also known as flavonoids), which are reported to have anti-diabetic properties. Scientists from the Department of Food and Nutrition and Department of Biochemistry at Hallym University in Korea investigated the cellular and molecular activity of purple corn anthocyanins (PCA) to determine whether and how it affects the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Their findings suggest that PCA inhibits multiple pathways involved in the development of DN, which may help in developing therapies aimed at type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. The aim of present article is to provide in depth knowledge about Purple Corn, their clinical and biological utility as well as their role in treatments of type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. An attempt is also made to focus on compounds found in purple corn which may aid in developing future treatments for type 2 Diabetes as well as kidney disease.

INTRODUCTION
Poorly water-soluble drugs often require high doses in order to reach therapeutic plasma concentrations after oral administration. Improvement in the extent and rate of dissolution is highly desirable for such compounds, as this can lead to an increased and more re-producible oral bioavailability and subsequently to clinically relevant dose reduction and more reliable therapy. More than 40% of newly discovered drugs have little or no water solubility presents a serious challenge to the successful development and commercialization of new drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. Now a days, pharmaceutical technology provides many approaches to enhance the dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs. Physical modifications often aim to increase the surface area, solubility and/or wet ability of the powder particles and are therefore focused on particle size reduction or generation of amorphous states [Hancock, 1997 & Grau, 2000]. Several methods have been employed to improve the solubility of poorly water soluble drugs. A solid dispersion technique has been used by various researchers who have reported encouraging results with different drugs. The first drug whose rate and extent of absorption was significantly enhanced using the solid dispersion technique was sulfathiazole by Sekiguchi and Obi (Sekiguchi, 1961)1.

ABSTRACT:
At present, simultaneous determination of drugs in the combination dosage forms has been enjoying renaissance in the field of pharmaceutical analysis. Paracetamol, a classical antipyretic in combination with a novel antispasmodic drug, drotaverine hydrochloride provides a synergistic effect in the treatment of spasms. From the reviewed literature, it was simultaneous uv-spectrophotometric methods have not yet been developed for the determination and quantification of paracetamol and drotaverine hydrochloride. The λmax of paracetamol is 257 nm and that of drotaverine hydrochloride were scanned and found to be 308 nm, 352 nm. Both paracetamol and drotaverine hydrochloride were found to have significant absorbance of the λmax   of each other and total absorbance was equal to the sum of the absorbance of paracetamol and drotaverine hydrochloride individually measured. So the present study involves the uv-spectrophotometric method development for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol and drotaverine hydrochloride by using simultaneous equations method. The mean % recoveries from this method were found to be 100.76% and 100.17% for paracetamol and drotaverine hydrochloride respectively proving that the method is accurate.
