ABSTRCT
Simvastatin is a poorly soluble drug exhibiting poor dissolution pattern. Simvastatin, PEG 6000 & Poloxamer 407 solid dispersions were prepared with a view to study the influence of polymer on solubility and dissolution of this poorly soluble drug Simvastatin. Solid dispersions of Simvastatin were prepared using different ratios of PEG 6000 & Poloxamer 407 as carrier by, solvent evaporation method. They were evaluated for percentage yield, drug content, FTIR spectral studies, DSC, XRD, solubility, and in-vitro dissolution. The solubility profile indicated that there is increase in solubility of Simvastatin when polymer concentration is increased. The solid dispersion complex of drug (1:5:5 ratios) was giving better dissolution profile as compared to pure drug and other solid dispersions. This in turn can improve the bioavailability. FT-IR, DSC shows the compatibility of drug and carrier.

Human ancestors began evolving the ability to digest alcohol about 10 million years ago, researchers say. The study found that a single genetic mutation 10 million years ago endowed human ancestors with an enhanced ability to break down ethanol.

ABSTRACT:
The reappearance of tuberculosis and the rush of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have reaffirmed tuberculosis as a key public health concern. Describe findings on the pharmacological status of Benzothiazinones as new agents that are being developed as antitubercular drugs. Benzothiazinones act by targeting the enzymes responsible for the formation of arabinans that are essential parts of the cell wall. In view of their novel mechanism of action, these drugs appear promising as anti-TB drugs and considered to be promising candidates for future development.
