The purpose of this article was to prepare and optimize the ingredients of Repaglinide tablets. The impacts of ingredients (diluents, disintegrants and lubricants) content on tablets were evaluated. The optimum prescription contained Repaglinide, meglumine, poloxamer, MCC, maize starch, PVPP, magnesium stearate and appropriate PVP K30.The tablets were evaluated by Carr’s index, hardness, friabi...

The availability of the first complete genome sequence of the marine flowering plant Zostera marina (commonly known as seagrass) in early 2016, is expected to significantly raise the impact of seagrass proteomics. Seagrasses are marine ecosystem engineers that are currently declining worldwide at an alarming rate due to both natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Seagrasses (especially species...

In this study, aspirin (AS) and isosorbide 5mononitrate(ISM) sustained bilayer tablets were developed by wet granulation and compression technique, the influence of the contents of PVPP on the dissolution of AS from the tablets was investigated. An orthogonal experiment design was used to optimize ISM sustained release layer. The tablets were tested for their drug content, hardness, thickness, ...

Extracts of hawthorn (Crateagus sp.) have been indicated in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, however, tablets produced from dry extract due to a multiple of factors such as inconsistent botanical ingredients, moisture content and hygroscopicity turn to be hard with prolong disintegration. Dissolution test is increasingly being employed for the assessment of solid herbal medicinal dosag...

The aim of the present study was to analyse whether offspring of mature Quercus ilex trees grown under life-long elevated p CO 2 show alterations in the physiological response to elevated p CO 2 in comparison with those originating from mature trees grown at current ambient p CO 2 . To investigate changes in C(for changes in photosynthesis, biomass and lignin see Polle, McKee & Blaschke Plant, ...

We previously reported that a velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic) biotype found in Maryland was resistant to atrazine because of an enhanced capacity to detoxify the herbicide via glutathione conjugation (JW Gronwald, Andersen RN, Yee C [1989J Pestk Blochem Physiol 34: 149-163). The biochemical basis for the enhanced atrazine conjugation capacity in this biotype was examined. Glutathione le...

The objective of the present work was to determine the impact of nitrogen deficiency on proline metabolism in French Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Strike). The nitrogen was applied to the nutrient solution in the form of NH4NO3 at 1.45 mM (N1), 2.90 mM (N2) and 5.80 mM (N3, optimal level). Our results indicate N deficiency is characterised by a decline in proline accumulation both in t...

The soluble sugars present in the maize (Zea mays L.) embryo may serve as important components of protection or may contnbute to the deteriorative changes occurring during seed storage. Examination of the changes in sugars during accelerated aging of maize seeds indicates that the decline in vigor is associated with a marked decline in monosaccharides and in raffinose. Sucrose content remains r...

The enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase, diaphorase, esterase, glutamate dehydrogenase, glucosephosphate isomerase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, shikimate dehydrogenase, and xanthine dehydrogenase were analyzed by starch gel electrophoresis of leaf tissue from nine sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] cultivars....

The relationship of phenolic composition and polyphenoloxidase activity (PPO, E.C. 1.14.18.1) to browning potential (BP) was studied in buffer extracts of peach [Prunuspersica L. Batsch) and nectarine [P. persica var. nectarine (L.) Batsch] fruit skin. The BP varied among cultivars with ‘Flavorcrest’ having the highest value and ‘Maycrest’ the lowest. On average, over 83% of the browning measur...
