The present study was undertaken to find out the potential of gum from Moringa oleifera to act as a binder and release retardant in tablet formulations. The effect of calcium sulphate dihydrate (water insoluble) and lactose (water soluble) diluent on the release of propranolol hydrochloride was studied. The DSC thermograms of drug, gum and mixture of gum/drug indicated no chemical interaction. ...

1. Cefoperazone is a third generation semi-synthetic cephalosporin with a broad spectrum of activity against the majority of aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in vitro. Cefoperazone sodium and -dihydrate are used for intramammary treatment of clinical mastitis in lactating cattle. Dose levels used are 250 mg cefoperazone sodium per infected quarter once o...

Purpose: To predict and theoretically investigate the morphology of erythromycin dihydrate crystals. Methods: The crystal morphology of erythromycin dihydrate was predicted using the Bravais-FriedelDonnay-Harker (BFDH) and attachment energy (AE) models of molecular simulation software, Cerius, in vacuo. Results: The morphology predicted by the two models is approximately consistent. The morphol...

The crystal structure of the 1:2 dihydrate compound of chloranilic acid (systematic name: 2,5-di-chloro-3,6-dihy-droxy-1,4-benzo-quinone) with 2-carb-oxy-pyridine (another common name: picolinic acid; systematic name: pyridine-2-carb-oxy-lic acid), namely, 2C6H5.5NO20.5+·C6HCl2O4-·2H2O, (I), has been determined at 180 K, and the structure of the 1:2 dihydrate compound of chloranilic acid with 2...

Equilibrium structures and the respective binding energies of acetic acid monohydrates and dihydrates have been determined by density-functional theory calculations with different basis sets, including 6-31+G(3d,p), 6-311++G(d,p), and 6-311++G(3df,3pd). Given that the C=O and OH groups in acetic acid provide the predominant hydrogen-bonding interactions with water, six stable conformer structur...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to resolve the putative pathway responsible for death induced by peganine hydrochloride dihydrate isolated from Peganum harmala seeds at cellular, structural and molecular level in Leishmania donovani, a causative agent of fatal visceral leishmaniasis. METHODS The mode of action was assessed using various biochemical approaches including phosphatidylserine...

Renal lithiasis is a multifactorial disease. An important number of etiologic factors can be adequately modified through diet, since it must be considered that the urine composition is directly related to diet. In fact, the change of inappropriate habitual diet patterns should be the main measure to prevent kidney stones. In this paper, the relation between different dietary factors (liquid int...

In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C(6)H(16)N(2) (2+)·2Br(-)·2H(2)O, the complete 1,4-dimethyl-piperazine-1,4-diium dication is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry and both exocyclic C-N bonds are in equatorial orientations. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, generating chains propagating in [110].
