Phosphate-independent glutaminase can be quantitatively solubilized from a microsomal preparation of rat kidney by treatment with papain. Subsequent gel filtration and chromatography on quaternary aminoethyl (QAE)-Sephadex and hydroxylapatite yield a 200-fold purified preparation of this glutaminase. The purified enzyme also hydrolyzes gamma-glutamylhydroxamate and exhibits substrate inhibition...

The purpose of this study was preparation and evaluation of sustained release matrix type ocular mini-tablets of timolol maleate, as a potential formulation for the treatment of Glaucoma. Following the initial studies on timolol maleate powder, it was formulated into ocular mini-tablets. The polymers investigated in this study included cellulose derivatives (HEC, CMC, EC) and Carbopol971P. Mann...

Glutathione plays an important role in the protection of the liver against several hepatotoxins. The hepatocarcinogen N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene is converted in the rat in vivo to reactive metabolites that bind covalently to cellular macromolecules. These metabolites may also react with glutathione, resulting in the formation of glutathione conjugates and in the detoxification of reactive ...

Chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and systemic hypertension have high prevalence all over the world. In majority of cases, patients having diabetes mellitus are also suffering from systemic hypertension and vice versa. Aims: The purpose of the study is to prepare a combination dosage form which can be used to treat both the diseases concomitantly, reducing pill burden and increasing pa...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders and when compared to the vast knowledge pertaining to adults with IBS, very little is known about IBS in children and adolescents. We aimed to explore the prevalence of IBS, identify symptoms and contributing factors and also to examine the efficacy of trimebutine maleate in children a...

Phosphate-independent glutaminase can be quantitatively solubilized from a microsomal preparation of rat kidney by treatment with papain. Subsequent gel filtration and chromatography on quaternary aminoethyl (QAE)-Sephadex and hydroxylapatite yield a ZOO-fold purified preparation of this glutaminase. The purified enzyme also hydrolyzes y-glutamylhydroxamate and exhibits substrate inhibition at ...
