Abstract: Objective: To assess and draw inferences of patent law in India, China and US in Pharmaceuticals Research methodology: This study is based on secondary Data collection from authentic websites of Government agencies, Magazines, Scientific Journals, and News Bulletins. Results: Patent laws of India, China and US are compared with special reference to field of pharmaceuticals. This study focus on some patentability aspects and criteria for pharmaceuticals in mentioned countries Discussion: The study shows that pharmaceuticals are very crucial for patenting as patent increases cost of life saving drugs and deprive people of availing essential drugs..............

Abstract: Kayea assamica is an endemic plant species of Clusiaceae family found only in Padumoni Park and Dullung Reserved Forest of Lakhimpur district of Assam, India. It has significant ethnopharmacological evidence, but still now has not been scientifically validated. In this present study, the phytocompounds from K. assamica leaves were extracted using methanol as polar solvent and subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening followed by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The result revealed the presence of important phytochemicals including alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, coumarins and cardiac glycosides which comprises thirty different.........

Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of Swertia tetragona.Both the extracts of S. tetragona showed good hepatoprotective activity against thioacetamide induced liver injury. Biochemical evidences as normalization of serum parameters(ALP,ALT,Alkaline Phosphatase and GGT), oxidative stress parameters(Lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione), free radical scavengers(Catalase and glutathione peroxidase), phase II drug metabolizing enzymes(glutathione-s-transferase), glutathione metabolizing enzymes (glutathione reductase and G-6-PD), free radical scavengers (SOD and xanthin oxidase) and histopathological evidences provide support to these findings.

Abstract: An unsual case was reported in 50 years male patient associated with dual conditions. He came to hospital with chief complaints of mild chest pain, excessive thirst, stress and also severe headache. He is over stressed due to his office work. His abnormal reports were with elevated blood pressure and sugar levels. His urine examination appears pale yellow colour, cloudy and with the presence of sugar, pus cells and epithelial cells. He was treated with amlodipine 5 mg OD, Tab rosuvastatin 20mg HS, Inj IV pantoprazole 40mg OD for his diagnosed conditions. After 4 days under observation patient again reported elevated levels of indirect bilirubin with no hepatic symptoms...........

Abstract: Cancer is the result of succession of genetic changes during which a normal cell is transformed into a malignant one. Evasion of cell death is one of the essential changes in a cell that causes this malignant transformation. Acute Myeloid Leukemia is a cancer of the hematopoietic cells which occurs due to mutational inactivation of some important genes or due to genome rearrangement. It is a malignant disease characterized by an accumulation of immature myeloid blast cells in the bone marrow and most often in the peripheral blood. Apoptosis in cancer occurs due to disrupted balance of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins, reduced caspase function and impaired death receptor...........

Abstract: Isoniazid was assayed by HPLC, utilizing a reversed-phase C-18 column with eluent solvent (5.3% ethanol, 93.7% water, 1% acetic acid). Samples for analysis were prepared in distilled water as the solvent. Detection of isoniazid was accomplished at 265 nm, which showed highest sensitivity for isoniazid . Column pump pressure approximately 2100 psig, rise time 0.1 with flow rate 1.0 mL/minute. Elution of isoniazid occurred at 2.2 minutes. Limit of detection (LOD) of isoniazid was 1.172 x 10-5 molar, but with detection going as high as 1.460 x 10-3 molar which provides a detection range of 125x. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) is 3.905 x 10-5 molar. Reverse phase isocratic conditions...........

Abstract: The aim of current study was evaluate the anthelmintic activity of petroleum ether, chloroform & methanol extracts of roots and leaves of pavetta indica linn. (Rubiaceae) against Indian adult earthworms (Pheretima posthuma) and roundworm (Ascaridia gali). The parameters like the time of paralysis and the time of death were determined by using the different extract at different concentration (25, 50, and 100 mg/ml). Albendazole (in 5% aqueous DMF) was used as reference standard and 5% aqueous in DMF as a control group. Higher activities were observed at the higher concentration. Dose dependent activity was observed in all extracts. The shortest time required for paralysis and death was observed with concentration of 100 mg/ml of methanol extract of roots of plant. The studies indicate that the root extract of plant exhibited more potent activity as compared to leaves extracts.

Abstract: This research is meant to know the effectiveness of thorny palm skin (Salacca edualis) and noni (Morinda citrifolia L) extract on the decrease of mice' blood sugar level (Mus musculus L.). The experimental animals used were male DDY strains of 2-3 months old with 27 samples. The mice were saturated with sugar solution (Sukrosa) so as hyperglycemia occurred, then the mice were divided into 9 treatment groups and 3x replicates namely; control treatment, thorny palm skin and noni extract treatment (F1) and treatment of 150, 200, 250 mg / KgBB (F2) dose. Administration of sugar solution was given for 1 week. Giving sugar solution done orally, mice were given feed in the form of pellets...........

Abstract: The Plant parasitic nematodes of sugarcane are diversely reportable with the connected decline in sugarcane productivity. Soil nematodes were studied in Aurangabad region by choosing four totally different sites. The aim of this study was to seek out soil nematodes related to sugarcane fields. The soil samples were collected from the sugarcane root zones from the four totally different sugarcane fields. The Nematodes were extracted from soil samples by the Baermann's funnel technique. The Nematodes were identified up to Genus level and therefore the numbers of nematodes per 150grams of soil were determined. From the selected fields, eleven genera of nematodes were collected & identified...........

Abstract: TParkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the brain. Parkinson's disease occurs when certain neurons in substantia nigra die or become impaired. The diagnosis of PD remains essentially a clinical one and it is important to recognize the early features together with symptoms and signs suggesting other causes of parkinsonism. At present, therefore, there are no proven neuroprotective therapies with only symptomatic treatments available. If the patient and clinician feel treatment is required, what therapy should be commenced? This decision will be based on the age of the patient, the likelihood of proper compliance, the presence of cognitive impairment, additional medical conditions and........
