Impact of dissolution medium pH and ionization state of the drug on the release performance of amorphous solid dispersions.

Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are widely employed as a strategy to improve oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble compounds. Typically, optimal dissolution performance from a polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate (PVPVA) based ASD is observed at relatively low drug loading limit. Above a certain drug load, termed limit of congruency (LoC), the release from ASDs significantly decreases.

The TGF-β1 target WISP1 is highly expressed in liver cirrhosis and cirrhotic HCC microenvironment and involved in pro- and anti-tumorigenic effects.

Introduction: WNT1-inducible signalling pathway protein 1 (WISP1) promotes progression of several tumor entities often correlating with worse prognosis. Here its expression regulation and role in the progression of chronic liver diseases (CLD) was investigated.

Methods: WISP1 expression was analyzed in human HCC datasets, in biopsies and serum samples and an HCC patient tissue microarray (TMA) including correlation to clinicopathological parameters.

Nano-PCR for the early detection of tomato leaf curl virus.

Unlabelled: Nano-PCR is a potential tool for the early detection of plant viruses. In the current study, different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (20 nm) and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (50 nm) were included in the PCR mixture to improve the sensitivity of PCR for the detection of tomato leaf curl virus. The inclusion of nanoparticles in single or combination in PCR mixture has resulted in improvement of PCR sensitivity.

Evaluation of antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects of silver nanoparticles synthesised from .

Plant mediated synthesis of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) has been considered as a reliable green technique for mitigating the involvement of toxic chemicals and which is widely used for desired applications. In the present study, a simple and environment friendly approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of was proposed. The phytochemicals present in acted as the reducing as well as the capping agents during the nanoparticle synthesis.
