HIGH - THROUGHPUT screening (HTS) is an approach to drug discovery that has gained widespread popularity over the last three or four years. HTS is the process of assaying a large number of potential effectors of biological activity against targets (a biological event). The methods of HTS are applied to the screening of combinatorial chemistry, genomics, protein, and peptide libraries. The goal of HTS is to accelerate drug discovery by screening large libraries often composed of hundreds of thousands of compounds (drug candidates) at a rate that may exceed 20,000 compounds per week. This paper will focus on assay adaptations, robotic equipment, and implementation strategies that allow HTS programs to be successful. Ultrahigh throughput screening (UHTS) issues (testing of 100,000 compounds / day) will also be discussed.

Summary
Objective
The present study was undertaken to further evaluate the adverse effect potential of Prulifloxacin to induce arthropathy in rats with reference to its duration of treatment.

Methods
Groups of one month old young rats were administered Prulifloxacin intraperitonially 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg doses for 15 and 30 days respectively. Control group received normal saline. At the end of treatment
period, animals in each group were subjected to serum alkaline phosphatase estimation. The serum alkaline phosphatase assay was carried out by using alkaline phosphatase reagent kit.

Abstract
Antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of C .hirsutus Diels leaves was studied for it free radical scavenging property in different in vitro models as 1, 1- Dipheheny1 – 2 picry1 hydrazy1, nitric oxide, superoxide and hydroxy1 radical model. The extract shows significant dose dependent free content suggesting the plant to exhibit antioxidant activity.
