Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research (JOAPR) is an official publication of Creative Pharma Assent (CPA). It is an open access, peer review online international journal. JOAPR is primarily focused on multiple discipline of pharmaceutical sciences (Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Technology, Biopharmaceutics, Cosmetic Technology, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical/Medicinal Chemistry, Computational Chemistry and Molecular Drug Design, Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry, Herbal drugs/ formulations, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Pharmacy Practice, Clinical and Hospital Pharmacy, Cell Biology, Genomics and Proteomics, Pharmacogenomics, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology of Pharmaceutical Interest) which publish quarterly. JOAPR also includes evaluation of pharmaceutical excipients & their practical application to research & industry based efforts. The aim of the scientific journal, JOAPR is to present a wide area for the current researchers to share their noble works and ideas in terms of the research papers, review articles and short communications. JOAPR only publish the original research works with a definite innovation and novelty after thorough reviewing. The paper must have a suitable and proper scientific background.

Abstract

Background: Free radicals, harmful by-products of a cell's natural metabolism, are responsible for various health problems. The search for plant-based supplements or medicines is always in high demand, as is the antioxidant activity that contributes to the therapeutic efficacy of plants. Aim: In the present study, the hydroalcoholic extracts from the aerial parts of Cassia tora were used for in vitro analysis of their antioxidant activity. Methods: Six separate assay methods were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity, i.e., against hydroxyl radical, DPPH, superoxide anions, nitric oxide, and also total flavonoid and phenolic content, were investigated. This was done by standardizing hydroalcoholic extract (70/30 ethanol to water) of Cassia tora and ascorbic acid. Results: Percentage scavenging activity and IC50 value were measured for extract prepared at various concentrations. The results IC50 values were 25.54 µg/ml, 45.04 µg/ml, 36.56 µg/ml, and 97.61 µg/ml for DPPH, superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and nitric oxide, respectively. Subsequently, the total phenolic and flavonoid content in the extract obtained was 1.927±0.73 mg GAE/gm and 1.018±0.29 mg QE/gm, respectively. Conclusion: The hydroalcoholic extract of Cassia tora contains more phytoconstituents. This suggests it has a wide range of medicinal antioxidant properties that make it helpful in treating many diseases. With the increasing demand for safer herbal treatments, scientific efforts in this field are making significant contributions and advances and supporting innovation.

Abstract

Background: Appendicitis is an acute and life-threatening situation if not treated promptly encountered in surgery practice. Even today, most cases of appendicitis are diagnosed by clinical findings and imaging. Scanty information is available to diagnose the perforation of the appendix using serological tests; hence, an attempt is made. The present study aimed to find out the correlation of hyperbilirubinemia as a diagnostic predictor for perforation in acute appendicitis patients. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted among patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis attending OPD of the general surgery department of Narayana Medical College Hospital. The duration of the study is between January 2023 and December 2023. A total of 400 patients with a diagnosis of either acute appendicitis or perforation were recruited into the study, and they collected blood samples for estimation of hyperbilirubinemia. Results: In the study population of 400 patients, 72 cases were diagnosed as appendicular perforation, and 328 patients had acute appendicitis. The cut-off value of hyperbilirubinemia was taken as serum bilirubin >1.0 mg/dl. Out of 72 cases of appendicular perforations, 64 patients have hyperbilirubinemia (89%), while in the acute appendicitis patients group, 82 of 328 patients have elevated serum bilirubin (25%). The observed mean values of serum bilirubin in the two groups were 1.74 and 0.89, and the difference in the standard error of the mean value of the two groups is statistically significant at a P-value of <0.001. Conclusions: Patients who presented with acute appendicitis symptoms and had serum bilirubin values >1.0 mg/dl had a higher probability of appendicular perforation. Hence, measuring serum bilirubin can be considered an additional diagnostic tool to existing clinical diagnosis and radiological evaluation for more precision in diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) require effective colon-targeted drug delivery for improved therapeutic efficacy and minimized systemic side effects. Objectives: The objective of this research was to develop and evaluate novel colon-targeted matrix tablet formulations of mesalamine (5-aminosalicylic acid) for the treatment of IBD. Materials and Methods: Mesalamine matrix tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique using pH-sensitive polymers (HPMC K4M) and biodegradable natural polysaccharides (pectin, chitosan, and guar gum). Tablets were characterized for physicochemical properties, drug content, and in vitro drug release. Compatibility studies using FTIR and DSC confirmed no interaction between mesalamine and polymers. The optimized formulations were enteric-coated with Eudragit S100 and ethyl cellulose. Drug release kinetics and stability studies were conducted. Results and Discussion: The uncoated formulations (M3, M6, M7) showed adequate protection against drug release in simulated gastric (0-2 h) and intestinal (2-5 h) fluids. The enteric-coated formulations (ME3, ME6, ME7) exhibited a lag time of around 2 hours and restricted drug release (<5%) in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids up to 5 hours. However, in simulated colonic fluid (pH 6.8) containing 4% rat cecal contents, these formulations showed enhanced drug release (71-83% in 12 h) due to biodegradation of polymeric matrices by colonic enzymes. Drug release kinetics indicated anomalous transport or super case-II transport mechanisms. Stability studies at 40°C/75% RH for 3 months revealed no significant changes. Conclusion: The developed colon-targeted mesalamine matrix tablets demonstrated the potential to protect the drug from release in the upper GIT while facilitating targeted drug delivery to the colon, which could improve therapeutic efficacy and minimize systemic side effects in the treatment of IBD.
