The prepared microspheres were evaluated for entrapment efficiency, particle size, surface morphology (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and in vitro drug release. The results were conclude that FAM-1(84.36%) can be considered as a optimized formula for sustaining the release of drug for 12 hours.
The administration of drugs through the nasal cavity is not a new method of delivering drugs Intranasal Therapy has been an accepted form of treatment in the Ayurvedic system of Indian Medicine. It has been used of the delivery of psychotherapeutic compounds in the ancient era, particularly for the systemic effects. The drug delivery through the nasal mucosa provides a number of advantages like a large surface area for absorption, overcomes the first pass effect. The increasing research in the field of novel drug delivery system has led to the development of novel forms like the intranasal route which has been shown to have an equivalent efficacy to the intravenous route. The nasal drug delivery system is very advantageous in the delivery of proteins, peptides and the novel research in the field has led to the development of nose to brain drug delivery systems. We discuss here the relevant aspects of biological, physicochemical and pharmaceutical factors of nasal cavity that must be considered during the process of discovery and development of new drugs for nasal delivery as well as in their incorporation into appropriate nasal Pharmaceutical formulations and the marketed formulations.

A validated reverse phase HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of Ubidecarenone and Clomifene Citrate in Pharmaceutical dosage forms. The chromatographic separation was carried out on Phenomenex C8 (250 X 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column and Methanol: Ethanol: Hexane in the ratio of 80:10:10% v/v was used as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.5 ml/min with PDA detection at 275 nm. The retention time of Ubidecarenone and Clomifene Citrate were found to be 2.37 min and 9.72 min respectively. Linearity of both drugs were found to be in the concentration range of 15-45 µg/ml for Ubidecarenone and 12.5- 37.5 µg/ml for Clomifene Citrate. The developed HPLC method was validated by determining its sensitivity, selectivity, linearity, accuracy and precision. The accuracy of the method was assessed by percentage recovery studies at three different levels at 50%, 100% and 150% of its working concentration. The percentage recovery of both drugs in the developed method was found to be in the ranges of from 99.1% - 101.1%, that indicates the good accuracy of the method. This developed method can be used for the routine analysis for the estimation of Ubidecarenone and Clomifene Citrate in bulk and Pharmaceutical formulations.

Ethanolic extract of Eugenia jambolana leaveswere investigated for their Hepatoprotective potential against liver injury induced by paracetamol in rats. The liver damage was induced in male albino rats (200 - 220gm) by administering paracetamol (2 gm/kg) for 7 days and extent of damage was studied by assessing the biochemical parameters such as Total bilirubin, Direct bilirubin, Indirect bilirubin, Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), Serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Total protein (TP), Albumin and Globulin. Histopathological changes of liver sample were compared with respective control. Treatment of rats with ethanolic extract (200mg/kg) for 7 days resulted in significant hepatoprotection for total protein (6.6 g/dl) only, while at 400 mg/kg, the restoration was significant for enzyme markers, viz. SGOT, SGPT, ALP (22.5 U/L, 18.5 U/L, 58.5 U/L ) in paracetamol-treated rats. The lethal dose (LD50) of the plant was greater than 3000 mg/kg. The ethanolic extracts of Eugenia jambolana leaveshave protected liver from paracetamol damage against induced liver injury.
