ABSTRACT Zidovudine is widely used in ART as Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to design and develop Zidovudine S.R. tablets using various synthetic and natural hydrophilic polymers. Sustained release matrix tablets are prepared using Xanthan gum, HPMC K100M, Guar gum alone and in a combination by using direct compression method. A total of 7 formulations (3 formulations with Xanthan gum, HPMC, Guar gum respectively, 4 formulations containing HPMC and guar gum in combination with Xanthan gum in the ratio of 5:5 and 2.5:7.5 respectively) were prepared. All these prepared tablets are evaluated for weight variation, friability, thickness, hardness, drug content and drug release pattern. No significant variation from I.P. and U.S.P. limits was observed. The drug-excipient interaction studies were carried out by FTIR spectroscopy, DSC and visible inspection (by keeping drug excipient mixture for 1 month at room temperature). No significant interaction between rug and excipients was observed. The comparative evaluations of the dissolution profiles were done. From the data it was concluded that all formulations show Fickian diffusion or anomalous type drug release pattern. Of all the formulations F6 is the best formulation .From the above, it was concluded that few of the formulations (F1, F5, F6, and F7) follow the sustained release pattern of drug release. Keywords: Zudovudine, Synthetic & natural polymers, In-vitro Evaluation, S.R Matrix Tablets.

ABSTRACT
Elucidation of structure-function relationships of seed storage proteins is a prerequisite for developing theoretically new food and/or food materials based on seed storage proteins. Furthermore, recent findings suggest that the 7S globulin, among all storage proteins in the coconut seeds, is responsible for the up-regulation of LDL receptors and that this activation is induced by the α and αβ- subunits of 7S globulin. The molecular mechanism underlying this biological response is currently under investigation. Here we report the purification and biophysical characterization of 7S globulin protein from the coconut endosperm. The total protein was separated by centrifugation at 13500g for 15 min at 4 ºC. The total precipitated protein of the 60% ammonium sulfate was subjected to column chromatography on a Hi-Prep 1.5/20 DEAE Sephadex A-50 HR column at a flow rate of 1 mL/min followed by purification using gel filtration chromatography. The purified fractions will be analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The band of SDS PAGE was excised and identified by mass spectrometry. These fragments are analyzed through MASCOT and identified through BLAST searches. We further perform circular dichroism (CD) analysis to observe the effect of temperature on secondary structure of the protein and thermal denaturation studies were carried out at 222 nm. This study will provide a sound basis for understanding in the structure-function relationship of coconut protein especially basic 7S globulin.

5. | FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF SULPHAMETHOXAZOLE SUSPENSION BY PH CHANGE METHODS |

ABSTRACT Dispersed phase preparation is an important step in the formulation of suspensions. One of the good criteria for suspension is fine (micron) sized dispersed phase particles. Fine size of the particles in a suspension is required for good physical stability and rapid dissolution rate. The particle size in a suspension can be reduced by techniques such as by micronisation using various size reduction machineries and also by pharmaceutical techniques such as co-precipitation and pH change method. The objective of this study was to prepare and evaluate sulphamethoxazole suspension by pH change method. The plots of sedimentation volume versus time indicated slow settling of dispersed particles in the case of suspensions prepared by pH change method when compared to control formulations. These results indicated that the dispersed phase particles remain suspended over a longer period of time in the case of suspensions prepared by pH change method. The better suspendability of the particles in the suspensions prepared by pH change method is due to reduction in particle size.
