Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses which severely affect the production of crops across the world. In this experiment, we examined 20 rice genotypes of diverse origins and sources including few salt tolerant varieties (Binadhan-8, Binadhan-10, Pokkali and FL478) as check. The main objective of this study was to determine salt tolerance a...

As a fourth generation of cephalosporins, cefepime shows very superior activity in opposition to gram-negative organisms like Pseudomonas aeruginosa in addition to gram-positive organisms like Staphylococcus aureus. It is very functional in the lower respiratory tract infection reasoned by Influenza, Aureus, Pneumonia as well as Urinary tract infec...

In present scenario the exploit of conventional medicine is enlarging to newer prospects in addition to plants still stay as the original source of the structurally significant compounds that guide to the expansion of the innovative drugs. Recently Bangladesh has concerning forty five thousands plant variety among which therapeutic assets has been...

Empiric therapy for community and health-care associated bacterial infections with high mortality is challenging with the continued development of resistant strains and the threat of multi-drug–resistant organisms. Pharmacists may impact patients’ outcomes by appropriately selecting initial antibiotic treatment, screening for duplication of the...

Objective: Now a day Cancer is the furthermost dangerous diseases. It can develop almost anywhere in the body. Cancer is a disease whose treatment process takes too long time and also too costly. Methods: This is a survey work on cancer due to current increasing of the number of cancer patients in Bangladesh. This evaluation was conceded in Chittag...

Ketoprofen [2-(3-benzoylphenyl)-propionic acid], a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug exhibits poor dissolution pattern. Solid dispersion (SD) techniques were used because it is particularly promising to improve the oral absorption and bioavailability of BCS Class II drugs. This investigation entails solid dispersion of ketoprofen which was formu...

Medicinal plants are rich sources of bioactive compounds and thus serve as important drug material for drug production. Most of the plant species are rich sources of medicines and therefore, the active principles responsible for their therapeutic actions have to be isolated and identified. This necessitates extensive phytochemical and pharmacologic...

Glimepiride (GMP) is poorly water soluble drug, so solubility is the main constraint for its oral bioavailability. Because, poor aqueous solubility and slow dissolution rate of the glimepiride lead to irreproducible clinical response or therapeutic failure in some cases due to sub therapeutic plasma drug levels. In this study, binary and ternary so...

Poor aqueous solubility and slow dissolution rate of the glimepiride lead to irreproducible clinical response or therapeutic failure in some cases due to sub therapeutic plasma drug levels. Glimepiride is a poorly water-soluble oral hypoglycemic drug exhibiting poor dissolution pattern. The purpose of this work is to increase the dissolution rate o...

Recent developments in drug delivery technologies have a great impact on the limitations of traditional oral drug delivery for both the pediatric and geriatric patients. Administration of drug via buccal mucosa is a modern alternative for overcoming low bioavailability, enzymatic inactivation and/or drug degradation in gastrointestinal tract, hence...

Cocos nucifera (L.) (Arecaceae) is commonly called the ‘‘coconut tree’’ and is the most naturally widespread fruit plant on Earth. Throughout history, humans have used medicinal plants therapeutically, and minerals, plants, and animals have traditionally been the main sources of drugs. The objective in the present study was to screen the phytochemi...

Ibuprofen is a important drug which is a nonselective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, an enzyme involved in prostaglandin synthesis. Its pharmacological effects are believed to be due to inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 which decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in mediating inflammation, pain, fever, and swelling. Ibuprofen is administere...

The poor aqueous solubility of the drug exhibits in variable dissolution rate and hence poor bioavailability. Aceclofenac is poorly water soluble drug. The aim of the present study was to improve the water solubility and the dissolution rate of Aceclofenac by solid dispersion technique using different water soluble polymers. The term solid dispersi...

The apocynaceae family is one of the most medicinally diverse families in the plant kingdom and is a rich source for drugs that have found use both traditionally and in conventional medicine. The medicinal activity of these plants was due to the presence of alkaloids which were either indoline alkaloids or steroidal alkaloids. The family Apocynacea...

Euphorbiaceae is an important family which contains numerous medicinal plants. Today estimate that most of the people in developing countries still relays on traditional medicine based largely on species of plants in human being and animals for their primary healthcare. The family Euphorbiaceae is one of the largest family of flowering plants compr...
