Page No.	::	01-05

The objective of this study was to screen the phytochemicals and isolate the endophytic fungi harbored in the leaf and stem of medicinal plant Helicteres isora L.. Medicinal plants play a key role in traditional medicine and medicinal property is found to be because of phytochemical constituents present in the plants. Phytochemicals such as alkaloids, carbohydrates, tannins, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, coumarins, carboxylic acid, resins, quinone and phenolic compounds were analyzed by using ethanol as solvent. There is a correlation between phytochemicals and secondary metabolites produced by the endophytic fungi. The medicinal plants and their fungal endophytic communities produce similar therapeutic products. The results of the present study showed the presence of secondary metabolites and endophytic fungi such as Penicillium citrinum, Aspergillus niger, Curvularia vermiformis, Rhizopus sp., Cladosporium sp., Alternaria alternata and Fusarium sp., were isolated and identified by morphological characters.

Title	::	Volumetric and Acoustical Study of Antimalarial Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate Drug in DMSO-Water mixtures at different temperatures
Country	::	India

Page No.	::	11-19

The densities and speeds of sound have been measured for ternery mixtures of hydroxychloroquine sulfate in aqueous-dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) mixtures at 20 vol% interval of the cosolvent at 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K and frequency 2MHz. The experimental data has been used to determine various acoustic/thermodynamic parameters viz. isentropic compressibility ( ks), intermolecular free length (Lf), relative association (RA) and specific acoustic impedance (Z). The changes in these properties with composition and temperature are used to interpret the nature of solute-solvent, solute- solute interactions in the system.

Histochemistry is currently the widely used methodology for recognition of gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) cancers like stomach, rectum, colon and oesophagus. Limited studies have addressed the prevalence of GI tract malignancies in Tripura. The objectives of this study were to find out the prevalence of gastrointestinal tract cancers among the population of Tripura, located in North-Eastern part of India. Accordingly, a hospital based study was carried out to evaluate the histopathological aspects of gastrointestinal tract cancer patients attending to Agartala Govt. Medical College during the period of 2010-2017. In this study 161 cases of GI cancers belonging to age between 5 to 85 years were found positive out of total 187 suspected samples. The present study demonstrates.............

A simple, fast and efficient green synthetic protocol was developed for the synthesis of 9-anthracenyl chalcones (3a-p) in excellent yields under microwave irradiation conditions. These microwave irradiated reactions of 9-acetyl anthracene with various aryl/substitutedaryl/heteroaryl/ aldehydes in presence of potassium hydroxide avoids the routine longer reaction time and expansive catalysts and provides several advantages such as solvent-free and short reaction time as eco-friendly green synthesis. All the newly synthesized 9-anthracenyl chalcone compounds were evaluated for their biological activity studies towards the anti-bacterial activity. The compounds 3d, 3h, 3j, 3l, 3n demonstrated potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 121), and two Gram-negative organisms, Escherichia coli (MTCC 43) and Klebsiella pneumonia (MTCC 530).

Simple, precise, economic & less time consuming visible spectroscopic method for Brivaracetam was developed by using Folin Ciocalteu Reagent (FCR) in the presence of base. The absorption maximum of the chromogen was found to be 475 nm. The developed method was obeying Beer Lambert's law in the range of 2-20 μg/ml concentration. The method has also been statistically evaluated & the results were within the limits. Molar absorptivity, Sand ell's sensitivity a& Correlation –co-efficient were found to be 1.528 x 103, 0.109 and 0.998 respectively & the method is free from the interferences of other additives present in the formulation.

Development of self-micro emulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of herbal extracts is challenging task per se, as the herbal extracts contains many active and non-active constituents with various physicochemical properties. Present work focuses on development and evaluation of self-micro emulsifying formulation of Boswellia Serrata Extracts (BSE). An optimized formulation of BSE-SMEDDS composed of the equal fraction of Capmul-MCM®, Acrysol EL135® and Acconon MC8® was developed by employing the 33 Full Factorial experimental design.The optimized formulation having capability to self-micro emulsification within less than one minute and droplet size of 189.3 nm (0.432 PDI) was evaluated for In-vitro drug release and ex-vivo diffusion for its comparison with the marketed formulation of the Boswellia Serrata Extract.
