ABSTRACT
Simple, accurate, precise, and sensitive ratio spectra derivative spectrophotometric method for simultaneous estimation of Eperisone hydrochloride (EPE) and Diclofenac sodium(DIC) in synthetic mixture have been developed and validated. The ratio derivative spectroscopic method involves measurement of first derivative amplitude of ratio spectra at 247 nm for EPE and 218.4 nm for DIC as two wavelengths for estimation. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 2-18 μg/ml for both EPE and DIC. LOD values for EPE and DIC are found to be 0.0634 μg/ml and 0.5386 μg/ml, respectively. LOQ values for EPE and DIC are found to be 0.1921 μg/ml and 1.6321 μg/ml, respectively. The method was validated statistically and recovery studies were carried out. It was found to be accurate, precise and reproducible. The method was applied to the assay of the drugs in synthetic mixture, which were found in the range of 98.0% to 102.0% of the labeled value for both Eperisone hydrochloride and Diclofenac sodium. Hence, the method herein described can be successfully applied in quality control of synthetic mixture.

ABSTRACT
A novel, precise, accurate and rapid isocratic reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic/ultraviolet (RP-HPLC/UV) method was developed, optimized and validated for  simultaneous determination of Ibuprofen and Chlorzoxazone. The method showed adequate separation for Ibuprofen and Chlorzoxazone and best resolution was achieved with ACE 5 C18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d, 5 μm particle size) using Acetonitrile-Phosphate buffer pH 3.5 - Methenol (20:20:60, v/v; pH adjusted to 3.5 with O-phosphoric acid and TEA(Tetra ethyl amine) as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.7 ml/min and wavelength of 221 nm. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration ranges of 2-30 μg/ml for Ibuprofen and Chlorzoxazone. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for Ibuprofen were 0.96 and 2.92 μg/ml while for Chlorzoxazone were 0.69 and 2.09 μg/ml, respectively. All the analytes were separated in less than 6.0 min. The proposed method could be applied for routinelaboratory analysis of Ibuprofen and Chlorzoxazone in pharmaceutical dosage form. Methods were validated statistically and recovery studies were carried out. The proposed methods have been applied successfully to the analysis of cited drug either in pure form or in synthetic mixture of both drugs with good accuracy and precision. The method herein described can be employed for quality control and routine analysis of drugs in pharmaceutical formulations.

ABSTRACT
Aegle marmelos Corr., a deciduous aromatic tree has been recognized in traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases and ailments of humans like dysentery, fever, diabetes, asthma, heart problems, ophthalmia, haemorrhoids urinary problems etc.  The plant has been reported to contain several phytoconstituents belonging to category of coumarins (like marmenol), alkaloids (like aegeline), glycosides, triterpenoids, anthraquinones, sterols and volatile oils. Several modern scientific studies have authenticated its anti diarrhoeal and gastro protective, anti diabetic, antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti thyroid, anti histaminic, anti prolifertive and anti fertility activity. Clinical trials of a formulation Diarex (containing A. marmelos has shown positive results patients suffering from diarrhoea and dysentery. This review gives a bird’s eye view mainly on folkloric uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological actions of the plant.

Abstract:
Pain is the most common symptom prompting patients to seek medical attention and is reported by more than 80% of individuals who undergone their preliminary treatment. In case of surgery most of the patients suffer from mild to severe pain due to  huge number of tissue damage. Thus pain control is an important part for the patients who had undergone some surgery. Good pain control is needed to prevent the negative outcomes such as tachycardia, hypertension, Myocardial Ischemia etc. and provide better medical outcome. Pain can be assessed by different techniques but the most widely accepted technique is Visual analog scale (VAS) method. This article reviews a number of paper published internationally over this emergent topic and gives a brief overview related to pain assessment technique, mechanism of pain management and newer approaches taken to control pain.
