ABSTRACT:
Skin is the main target of topical and transdermal preparations. Major aim of transdermal drug delivery sytem is to cross the stratum corneum. Now-a-days we better know vesicles have importance in cellular communication. Niosomal carrier are systems containing soft vesicles, composed of non –ionic surfactant and an alternative to liposomes. They can entrap both hydrophilic and hydrophobic chemicals but these types of vesicles include the superior physical stability problems such as aggregation, fusion, and leakage of encapsulated drug. Proniosomes are provesicular approach which overcomes the limitations of vesicular system (Niosomes). Provesicular approach has been proposed to enhance the stability of vesicles. Proniosomes is a compact semi-solid liquid crystalline product of non- ionic surfactant  easily formed on dissolving the surfactant in minimal amount of acceptable solvent and the least amount of aqueous phase. Proniosomes can be converted into niosomes in –situ by absorbing water from the skin.

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.

ABSTRACT:
The present research work discusses the development of a dissolution method for Fluconazole using UV spectrophotometer. Simple, accurate and cost efficient dissolution method has been developed for the estimation of Fluconazole in bulk and tablet dosage form. The optimum conditions for the dissolution of the drug were established. The dissolution media was found to be 0.1N HCl (pH 1.2). The apparatus was found to be USP II, Paddle and the speed was found to be 50 rpm for 30 minutes time interval.

ABSTRACT
A simple, precise, accurate and economical UV visible spectrophotometric method has  been developed for estimation of Diclofenac sodium drug by AUC method. The standard and  sample solutions were prepared by using double distilled water as a solvent. Quantitative determination of the drug was performed at wavelength range 270-282 nm. The linearity was established over the concentration range of 05,10,15,20&25µg/ml for Diclofenac sodium with correlation coefficient value of 0.9981. Precision studies showed that % relative standard  deviation was within range of acceptable limits. The mean percentage recovery was found to be 99.38%.The proposed method has been validated as per ICH guidelines.

ABSTRACT
In the present scenario, lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and malignant cancer especially among the smoking group of people. The targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the lungs represents a novel therapeutic approach in lung cancer. Lung is an ideal route for administration of anticancer drug as it provides larger alveolar surface area, low thickness of epithelial barrier & extensive vascularization. Nanoparticles with nanocarriers have possibility of cell-targeted drug delivery with minimal systemic side effect and toxicity. Pulmonary epithelial cell, enzymes, receptors and genes are the target of the targeted drug delivery in lung cancer. This paper reviews the till date targeted drug delivery research performed for the treatment of lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:
A simple, precise and accurate difference spectroscopic method has been developed for the estimation of Acebutolol Hydrochloride in bulk drug form by difference spectrophotometric method. Acebutolol Hydrochloride has exhibited maximum absorbance at about 233nm and 234nm in acidic and basic solution respectively. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 2-10 µg/ml in both the cases. The regression of coefficient was found to be r²=0.9992. The LOD and LOQ value were found to be 0.2670ppm and 0.8091ppm respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of Acebutolol Hydrochloride in bulk drug. As per ICH guidelines the result of the analysis were validated statistically and were found to be satisfactory.
