Abstract

The major health care problem in developing world is shifting from communicable diseases to non-communicable disease which causes morbidities more than mortality affecting the personal efficiency. Hypertension is a major health care burden in developing countries like India causing both morbidity and mortality. Few studies shows that the hypertension prevalence has raised from 2% to 15% in rural population and 2% to 25% in urban population in last six decades in India. This research work aims to enumerate the price of commonly available oral antihypertensive drugs in India. It also aims to study the cost variation of oral antihypertensive drugs. The present study was carried out in the department of Pharmacology in a tertiary care medical college in south India. The cost analysis of individual drugs by different manufacturers were done. Percentage of cost variation was analysed. The variation in cost of most of the antihypertensive drugs is more than 100%. It’s found maximum in Amlodipine (5mg) with cost variation of 625%, Atenolol 100 mg with cost variation of 413%. In India there is a wide price variation among antihypertensive drugs. The major gap in the cost variation of antihypertensive drugs to be narrowed for the benefit of the patients. So the government and the prescribing doctors should think about the huge difference in cost and work in the direction of benefitting the patient.

Abstract

Acid hydrazides are essential intermediates in organic synthesis. They conventionally require a two-step synthetic pathway; esterification and hydrazine hydrate treatment; to obtain the hydrazide. The microwave-assisted synthetic methodology was utilized as a greener and straightforward single-step approach for their synthesis in highly encouraging yields. Thus, the aim of the present work was to synthesize acid hydrazides of Diclofenac, Indomethacin, Ibuprofen, and Mefenamic acid using microwave radiation with the aid of a newly designed fit-in ice condenser. Esters of the selected compounds were firstly synthesized, and acid hydrazides were then synthesized utilizing both the conventional and the proposed microwave-assisted single-step methods. The developed technique was successfully yielded 86.7%, 40.9%, and 65.5% acid hydrazides of Diclofenac, Indomethacin, and Mefenamic acid in just 3 min., 10 min. and 3 min., respectively. In comparison to the conventional method, the developed method was simpler with a very short reaction time and quantified yields. The structures of the synthesized acid hydrazides were also confirmed using FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The proposed method with the modified fit-in ice condenser proved to be efficient, cost-effective, and time-saving in the synthesis of acid hydrazides understudy in a single step.

Abstract

A tablet can be defined as a solid unit dosage form. There are several reasons for coating of solid dosage form, the most important reason is to control the release profile & also to control the bioavailability parameters of the APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients). Tablets containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) can be coated with thin polymer-based film for various advantages. Generally, horizontal rotating pans are used for coating purposes & coating solution can be spread through the spraying systems over the surface of tablets. Bitter taste masking, odor masking, physical and chemical protection, and also environmental protection are all benefits of the tablet coating. Despite that, Tablet coating also plays an important role in controlling the action site. Sugar-coating, film coating, and enteric coating are some of the conventional tablet coating processes. The primary objective for creating tablet coating technologies is to eliminate the numerous disadvantages of solvent-based coating. Coating solution preferentially applied on the surface of solid dosage forms without the need for any solvent in these novel technologies. This review article provides information regarding the techniques of conventional tablet coating, the recent advancement of tablet coating procedures, and tablet coating components.
