Abstract

Fungal infections affecting nails are commonly seen around the world. The effectiveness of topical therapies is limited by minimal drug permeability through the nail plate. Nail permeability is however quite low and limits topical therapy to early/mild disease states such as onychomycosis (fungal infections of the nail). The current research aims at ungual drug delivery system as an effective treatment in nail infections. The formulations of nail lacquer were made with Amorolfine as antifungal agent using different concentration of polymer Eudragit RL 100 (ERL 100). Among 6 formulations, formulation F5 and F6 showed very good physical characteristics like viscosity, water resistance, stability, drying time, smoothness as compared to other formulations. The zone of inhibition of antifungal activity showed desired results (F5 and F6).

Abstract

Various dosage forms have been introduced in the recent days in the field of pharmaceutical technology. Transdermal patch is a technique from which a new drug delivery system that is oral dispersible film was developed. Oral dispersible films when they placed on mouth or oral cavity, they disintegrate or dissolve within a minute. Even though in a solid dosage form it doesn’t require chewing or drinking of water, which enhances the patient compliance. There are number of ingredients are used to formulate oral dispersible patches, like active pharmaceutical ingredients, polymers, flavouring agents, colouring agents etc, in which we can regard polymer as important ingredient which helps to form the film. Usually hydrophobic polymer are used for oral dissolving films which breaks down on the tongue or buccal cavity and then drug will go to systemic circulation. Fast disintegrating property, good mechanical property like mouth dissolving property of film can be achieved by water soluble polymer. Moreover in oral dispersible films, accurate and effective dosing can be accomplished in a safe manner.

Keywords

Oral Dispersible Films, Hydrophilic Polymers, Plasticizers, Solvent Casting.

Abstract

The α,β unsaturated ketone 3-(2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-onederivatives were treated with benzene-1,2-diamine to obtain 2-(2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepine derivatives. These synthesized compound were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. These synthesized molecules were evaluated for invitro antimicrobial activity. All The synthesized compounds, showed potent anti-microbial activity as compare to reference drug. In these study the synthesized were docked with Type IIA topoisomerases 2XCT using glide dock program and binding affinity were predicted for the synthesized compounds. The compound AP8 and AP9 have shown more active as per binding energy.

Keywords
