ABSTRACT:
In this review article, we discussed abouteffluent testing and treatment in pharmaceutical industry,Biological treatment of wastewater is frequently the most beneficial method for selecting various toxic compounds from the environment. Most of the organic compounds in industrial wastewaters are of natural origin and can be degraded by common bacteria in aerobic or anaerobic processes. The composition of these wastewaters is very variable. A great variety of organic chemicals can be determined among the principal components of these types of wastewaters. Antibiotics are the major group of pharmaceuticals. Among all the other pharmaceutical drugs and substances, antibiotics are important compounds due to its serious irreversible increase the release to the environment^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

In 1850 a separate permanent organisation rule was passed. During that period it was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Thomas Charls Lofman that The Municipality was formed on 1st August 1852. There were nine members to this Municipality. It was after a period of 111 years that the Municipality was converted into a Municipal Corporation on 1st May 1964. It was the 4th Municipal Corporation in the State of Maharashtra.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research was to formulate and systemically evaluate in-vitro and in-vivo performances of mucoadhesive Ramipril microspheres for its potential use in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infraction. Ramipril mucoadhesive microspheres, containing chitosan as mucoadhesive polymer and ethyl cellulose as carrier polymer, were prepared by an emulsion-solvent evaporation technique. Preformulation studies were carried out before formulation design. Total seven formulations were prepared.Microspheres were discrete, spherical, free-flowing and showed a good percentage of drug entrapment efficiency. An in-vitro wash off test showed that Ramipril mucoadhesive microspheres adhered more strongly to the gastric mucous layer and could be retained in the gastrointestinal tract for an extended period of time. In-vitro dissolution test was carried out by using phosphate buffer pH 6.8. All the formulations showed good dissolution profiles. Among all the formulation F5 showed good dissolution profile with 81.0% of drug release in 12 hours. In-vitro release kinetic data of Ramipril microspheres showed that the drug release mechanism was diffusion controlled as the plots of Higuichi model was linear. All formulations exhibited Non-Fickian diffusion (n value is in between 0.5 to 1) mechanism. Stability studies were done for the selected formulation indicates that there is no change in drug content of the formulation.The results showed a sustained anti-hypertensive effect over a longer period of time in case of mucoadhesive microspheres, compared to the powder. In conclusion, the prolonged gastrointestinal residence time and slow release of Ramipril resulting from the mucoadhesive microspheres, could contribute to the provision of a sustained anti-hypertensive effect.
