This presented work is based on application of two multivariate calibration methods for simultaneous UV-Vis spectrophotometric determination of active substances in combined pharmaceutical formulation composed of Cefixime (CEF) and Ornidazole (ONZ). The methods used were Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Square (PLS). The Spectra of CEF and ONZ were recorded at concentrations within their linear ranges 2.0-12.0 μg/ml and 5.0-30.0 μg/ml, respectively. 27 set of mixtures were used for calibration and 9 set of mixtures were used for validation in the wavelength range of 260 to 330 nm with the wavelengths intervals λ= 0.5 nm in methanol. The methods were validated as per International Conference on HarmonizationQ2 (R1) (ICH) guidelines. These methods were successfully applied for determination of drugs in pharmaceutical formulation (tablet) with no interference of the excipients as indicated by the recovery study results. The proposed methods are simple, rapid and can be easily used as an alternative analysis tool in the quality controlas well as in process control of drugs and formulation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro antioxidant activity of hydro alcoholic extract of the stem Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib using DPPH radical scavenging assay and concentration was being (IC50 135.9 μg/ml). Moreover, the saponins, steroids, triterpenes, alkaloids and tannins were also present in the hydro alcoholic extract of stem Acacia torta. The characterization of the extract was also performed by HPLC profiling with the standard, Quercetin. The present study demonstrated that Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib stem extract exhibited potent antioxidants in DPPH free radical assay as compared to standard quercetin. Keywords: Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib, DPPH radical scavenging, Antioxidant.

The methanolic-HCl extract of Beta vulgaris was studied for the cardioprotective activity using dexamethasone induced cardiotoxicity. Methanolic-HCl extract of Beta vulgaris was shown significant cardioprotective activity by elevating antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GSH) and Lipid peroxidation (LPO). The phytochemical present in Beta vulgaris like Alkaloids, glycosides, tannin, flavonoids and betacyanin which is confirmed from qualitative analysis may be responsible for its cardioprotective activity. Keywords: Dexamethasone, Beta vulgaris, Cardiotoxicity.
