    ABSTRACT
    The importance for medicinal herbs is increasing day by day due to its high availability and lower side effects. The present study investigated the total phenolic and flavonoid content of various extractions of Indigofera tinctoria linn. The total phenolic content was determined by folin-ciocatechu reagent using Gallic acid as standard and total flavnoid content by aluminium chloride assay using Quercetin as a standard. The present study showed the ratio of phenolic and flavonoid content in different extracts of Indigofera tinctoria linn. Aqueous extract showed the more flavonoid and phenolic content in comparision with other extracts.

    ABSTRACT
    Cinitapride1-2, chemically4-amino-N[3-(Cyclohexan-1-yl-methyl)-4-piperidinyl]-2-ethoxy-5-nitrobenzamide has the molecular formula C21H30N4O4 and molecular weight 402.49 g.Cinitapride is a drug that has against action to the serotoninergic 5-HT2 and D2 dopaminergic receptors that has been indicated in the gastro esophageal reflux and in the functional disorders of gastrointestinal motility treatment, The present study was aimed to formulate and evaluvate the tablets containing Cinitapride based on floating  technique in order to increase gastric retention time, Total 9 formulation (F1-F9)were done using 3 different polymers like (HPMC k4m, HPMC e15m and HPMC k100m ). The formulations prepared were subjected to dissolution tests for 12 hrs, Among all the 9 formulation  formulation (F5) were able to efficiently control Cinitapride release over a time period of 12 hrs. Thus the results of the current study clearly indicate, a promising potential of the floating tablet as an alternative to conventional dosage form.

    ABSTRACT
    Alfuzosin is a non-subtype specific alpha(1)-adrenergic blocking agent that exhibits selectivity for alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors in the lower urinary tract. Inhibition of these adrenoreceptors leads to the relaxation of smooth muscle in the bladder neck and prostate, resulting in the improvement in urine flow and a reduction in symptoms in benign prostate hyperplasia. Alfuzosin also inhibits the vasoconstrictor effect of circulating and locally released catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), resulting in peripheral vasodilation. The alfuzosin of the present investigation is designed to retain in the stomach and deliver the drug alfuzosin for longer periods of time. The developed floating provides increased absorption of the alfuzosin at a rate such that effective plasma levels can be achieved and maintained for a prolonged duration. Formulations 6 displayed drug release considered in 0.1N HCL and Formulation 6 shows better drug release in dissolution profile.

    ABSTRACT
    The present study behind this work is to find to prepare sustained release tablets of Viloxazine by compression method. First of all to formulate Viloxazine sustained release tablets using the Ethylcellulose, Carbopol, Sodium Alginate, Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose & Guar gum under ratio’s  like 1:1, 1:1, 1:1,1:1,1:1 . Five batches were made in various polymers of ethylcellulose, carbopol, sodium alginate,hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose & guar gum is used by keeping the drug as constant. Then evaluation of Viloxazine sustained release tablets was carried out for characteristics like drug content in tablet, UV analysis. In vitro release starts from 1hr and up to 24hrs. It shows the percentage of gradual drug release as 17.80%, 27.65%, 35.12%, 45.16%, 51.20%, 57.42%, 61.30%, 66.32%, 72.08%, 77.15%, 81.32%, 84.48% & 98.20% against the label claim as 40mg.

    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.

    ABSTRACT
    A simple, sensitive and specific method reverse phase - high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) have been developed and validated for the estimation of Temozolomide in its Pharmaceutical dosage form.
    Estimation of Temozolomide by using RP-HPLC coupled with UV

    An isocraticREVERSE PHASE - HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY method was developed and validated for the estimation of Temozolomide in its Pharmaceutical dosage forms. The separation of the analytes was performed on aDevelosil ODS MG.5 (150×4.6mm),5µm, with mobile phase containing (0.5% w/v glacial acetic acid) named as Solution-A  :  Methanol  [90 : 10, v / v] was used. The flow rate was 1 ml min-1 and separation was monitored by UV detection at 254 nm. Chromatogram showed peak at a retention time of 7.306 ± 0.009 min. validation of the method for linearity and range, intra-day and inter-day precision, accuracy, specificity, recovery, ruggedness, robustness and limits of detection and quantification were obtained as 0.598 µg / ml and 1.81 µg / ml respectively. The calibration plot was linear from 20-60 µg ml-1 and the correlation coefficient was 0.999.The proposed method is fast, accurate and precise for the quantitative determination of Temozolomide capsules.
