Insan S. Kurniawansyah, Iyan Sopyan, Arif Budiman
Abstract
Starch is one of the most widely used excipients in the manufacturing of solid dosages in the pharmaceutical product field. Generally, the most widely used is corn starch. Corn starch was isolated from maize seeds that were grinded and precipitated to obtain starch deposition. The characterization of physicochemical properties of corn starch can be done through color testing, solubility test, water absorption capacity (WAC) and oil absorption capacity (OAC), chemical composition, amylose content, swelling and solubility index, bulk density, and using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) device. Applications of corn starch in the pharmaceutical field can be used as a binder-disintegrant tablet, binder, and tablet filler.

2. Method Development and Validation for Famciclovir and Valacyclovir by using UPLC and its Degradants are Characterized by LC-MS/MS
Santha Kumari K, Mohan S, Prasada Rao K
Abstract
An easy receptive technique was studied to evaluate valacyclovir and famciclovir in the tablet formulation using ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC). This method involves the separation by chromatographic technique with a Luna C18 column (100 mmxv 2.6 mm, 1.6 μ). OPA (Ortho phosphoric acid, 0.1%) and 30:70 v/v acetonitrile act as a mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mL/min, using an ambient temperature. The UV spectral data has recorded at about 230 nm. Using these conditions, we got good linearity results in the range of 10–150 μg/mL of valacyclovir and 2.5–37.5 μg/mL of famciclovir using the UPLC technique. With the help of the assay method mentioned above, the results of the other validation UPLC parameters like accuracy, degradation studies system precision, robustness, and method precision were present within the allowed limits as per the guidelines given by international council for harmonization (ICH).

Ishrat Zahoor, Neelam Sharma, Tapan Behl, Sukhbir Singh
Abstract
The present research aims to investigate optimized parameters for the formulation of Fenoprofen calcium-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (FEN-NLC) by emulsion evaporation-solidification at low temperature using Compritol 888 as solid lipid and oleic acid as liquid lipid. Box-Behnken design was utilized for optimization of formulation and process variables like solid lipid: liquid lipid (X1), stirring speed (rpm) (X2), and emulsifier concentration (% v/v) (X3) using Design-Expert software. The Pareto chart demonstrated that X1 and X2 produced significant synergistic effects. At the same time, X3 had a significant antagonistic effect on percentage entrapment efficiency (Y1), while X1, X2, and X3 exerted significant synergistic influence on flux (μg/cm2/hr) (Y2) and percentage yield (Y3) (*p < 0.05). The model fit summary statistical analysis revealed that the quadratic model was the best model for Y1-Y3 as this model showed significant sequential p-value (*p < 0.05), insignificant lack of fit p-value (p > 0.05), least standard deviation and maximum R² value for Y1-Y3. Diagnostic analysis of response parameter values authenticated the competence and reliability of their actual and predicted values as the residual values were exceptionally fitted within the limit of ± 4. Conclusively, Design-Expert software generated an optimization ramp report to explore optimized FEN-NLC with a desirability function of 0.874. The optimization ramps revealed that the coded values of optimized FEN-NLC were 0.561, 0.999, and 0.999 for X1, X2, and X3, respectively, with predicted values of 72.98%, 136.19 μg/cm2/hr and 92.889% for Y1, Y2 and Y3, respectively.

Noor Q. Bedano, Ayad F. Alkaim
Abstract
This work presents a low-cost method to produce Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructured materials for the treatment of water polluted with model organic pollutants (e.g., brilliant green dye). Zinc oxide was prepared using the thermal solvent technique at a temperature of 37°C, at pH 6, and the samples were incinerated for one hour at a temperature of (500°C). Also, silver doped ZnO (Ag-ZnO) was prepared by photo deposition using ultraviolet rays. The photodissociation of Brilliant green dye was studied using ultraviolet rays under different conditions in the presence of Ag-ZnO, studying the effect of some factors, such as the effect of dye concentration and intensity of incident light. The results showed that the smashing efficiency of the zinc oxide surface increased by 92.8% after adding silver. It also showed that the photocatalytic breakdown rate increases with decreasing concentration of Brilliant green dye. Increasing the intensity of the light led to an increase in the rate of photocatalytic breakdown.

Gurjar Pravina, Ashok Bhosle
Abstract
Any drug delivery system’s main objective is to consistently deliver the desired drug concentration in the blood or tissues, which is therapeutically beneficial and non-toxic. The spherical, free-flowing granules known as pellets increase bioavailability, lower the risk of dose dumping and local gastrointestinal discomfort, regulate drug release, and boost absorption of the medicine. A second-generation sulfonylurea called gliclazide is used to treat non-insulin-dependent diabetic mellitus (NIDDM). This study’s objectives were to construct a flexible dosage form with controlled release and look into how process parameters affected the procedure. To find the batch of pellets that provided a sustained release pattern for the drug gliclazide, several batches of pellets manufactured using the extrusion spheronization process and the design of experiment (DoE) approach were used. Due to their roundness, the pellets had excellent flow characteristics, which affected the dosage production rate. They also had small particles that could be easily dispersed and helped prevent dosing. The release rate of the pellets was 99.3% after 12 hours. With superior medication release control, the study completes the development of sustained-release pellets, minimizing issues with the conventional tablet administration form.

Shubham Chauhan, Narinder Kaur, Adesh K Saini, Shahbaz Aman, Jyoti Chauhan, Harit Kumar
Abstract
Background: Antibiotic resistance and their mischaracterization often lead to treatment failure. In the present scenario, resistance to colistin is emerging. Poor testing methods for colistin resistance detection can increase the risk of treatment failures and even mortality. In this study, we analyzed the burden of multidrug-resistant (MDR), Extensively drug-resistant (XDR), pandrug resistant (PDR), and colistin resistant Gram-negative bacteria and also evaluated Vitek-2 compact and Broth Microdilution (BMD) for the detection of colistin resistance at North Indian Tertiary-Care Hospital. Methods: A total of 11237 samples were processed in which 1822 (16.21%) were gram-negative bacilli (GNB). All GNB after identification by Vitek-2 compact, were subjected to antibiotic sensitivity testing by Vitek-2 and characterized as MDR, XDR, and PDR as per guidelines of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention US (CDC) and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Identification of colistin resistance in Enterobacteriaceae family, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii was made by broth microdilution (BMD) method. BMD was used as a standard gold method for colistin resistance. Results: A total of 43.57% MDR, 9.49% XDR, and 3.5% PDR gram-negative bacteria was isolated from various departments and from various sites. Vitek-2 compact detected 47 (2.75%) and MBD method detected 38 (2.23%) colistin-resistant gram-negative bacilli. Vitek-2 compact failed to detect nine colistin-resistant organisms. The highest resistance towards colistin was seen in A. baumannii (6%), followed by P. aeruginosa (5%), Escherichia coli (1.07%), Klebsiella pneumonia (1%). Conclusions: There is a need for quick and efficient antibiotic resistance management efforts against colistin resistance. Vitek-2 compact gives unsatisfactory and inaccurate results in the detection of colistin susceptibility

Bandhakavi Sailaja, Batchu Radhika
Abstract
Oyster mushrooms have significance in cosmetics and nutrition. Cinnamaldehyde, amino acids such as histidine, arginine, lysine, glycine, and quercetin, play a crucial role in acne tissue repair and show anti-inflammatory activity. In the current research, quantitative and qualitative chemical evaluation of value-added mushrooms and control oyster mushrooms was performed. Value addition to mushrooms was accomplished by growing them on paddy substrate substituted with a bark of cinnamon 10.0% w/w or Moringa dried leaf powder 5.0% w/w separately. The mushroom extracts were subjected to thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to perceive the modifications in the chemical profile. The liquid chromatographic study of mushrooms grown on paddy straw replaced with pieces of cinnamon (10.0% w/w) bark indicated that value-added mushrooms exhibited the presence of cinnamaldehyde and Eugenol, which were absent in the control group of mushrooms. In the same manner, paddy straw replaced with Moringa leaf dried powder (5.0% w/w) showed an increase in Quercetin concentration compared to the control group of mushrooms. The amino acid profile of value-added mushrooms and control group mushrooms was determined using standard amino acid samples by TLC and HPLC. The amino acid concentration was found to be higher in cinnamon-substituted mushrooms, followed by Moringa-substituted mushrooms, compared to the control. The chemical profile of the mushrooms grown on paddy substituted with 10.0% w/w Cinnamon/ Moringa leaf dried powder (5.0% w/w) showed more concentration of arginine, histidine, glycine, and lysine compared to the control group of mushrooms, reflecting that value addition to Oyster mushrooms was successful.
