Buccal spray of standardized Berberis aristata extract causes tumour regression, chemoprotection and downregulation of inflammatory mediators in oral cancer hamster model.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Berberis aristata (BA) has been described in Ayurveda in formulations for treating conditions related to the buccal cavity, including tumours and inflammation. Oral cancer (OC) is a major global health problem with high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Natural product based therapies are being explored as safer therapeutic strategies for OC.

Development of stability-indicating HPLC method and accelerated stability studies for osmotic and pulsatile tablet formulations of Clopidogrel Bisulfate.

The purpose of the present study is to develop a simple, rapid and sensitive stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for Clopidogrel Bisulfate (CBS) and further extending it for assessment of CBS stability in osmotic and pulsatile tablet formulations tested under accelerated conditions. A stability-indicating HPLC method for quantitative determination of CBS in gastro-retentive formulations is developed by using a C18 HPLC column, acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid (60:40 v/v) as mobile phase, with a flow rate of 0.
