Solubility Enhancement of Theophylline Drug Using Mixed Solvency Approach
Abstract: “Solubility enhancement” is one of the difficult tasks that have become a great challenge in formulation development of orally administered drugs having poor aqueous solubility. Poor aqueous solubility of drugs creates significant problems in producing formulations of sufficiently high bioavailability, thereby preventing the effective usage of these drugs. With the introduction of the concept of “mixed-solvency,” it is feasible to increase the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs in aqueous solutions …

Lantana camara Leaves: An Important Source of Allelochemicals
Abstract: Allelopathy may provide alternatives to synthetic herbicides for weed control. Allelopathy is a unique, natural and an environment-friendly technique that may be used for weed control. Lantana camara has allelopathic properties which effect in the germination and growth of surrounding plants. The aqueous leaf extract of L. camara was found to have inhibitory effect on germination of Parthenium hysterophorus. The results indicated that the inhibitory effect was much more pronounced …
