Other Research Projects

10. Green Synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Mangifera indica leaf extract and its anticancer potential.

Anoop Narayanan V, Rani Jacob, B Dineshkumar,

Status: Comepleted

“Silver nano particles yielded from the reduction of silver nitrate in solution. The reaction was carried

out by aqueous extract of Mango leaves, where magiferin and other antioxidants serve as a reducing

agent. Careful optimization of reaction conditions were demanded during the study. Nanoparticles were

characterised and purified.”

11. Curcumin Nanohydrogel by EPAS Technique For Cutaneous Candidiasis.

Anoop Narayanan V, Rani Jacob, B Dineshkumar, K Krishnakumar

Status: Comepleted

“Nano precipiates of curcumin was produced by evaporative precipitation of ethanolic solution of

curcumin. The nano suspension resulted were stabilized by various surfactants at different

concentrations. After micromeritic charactarization they were encorporated into hydrogel matrix

forming a nano hydrogel of curcumin. The preparation was found highly effective against Candida

albicans in in vitro conditions.”

12. Development of Curcumin Buccal Patches for Oral Candidiasis.

Anoop Narayanan V, Shameema Banu

Status: Comepleted

“The study attempted to develop a very useful method of administering curcumin locally in the buccal

cavity owing to its proven antifungal activity. Buccal patches were developed which were proven to

inhibit the growth of Candida albicans in laboratory conditions. The release of drug from the patches

was carefully optimized for an extended duration of time. A simpler yet innovative method was tried to

study the mechanical strength of the patches.”

13. Fast dissolving tablets of Granisetron HCl.

Status: Comepleted

“Fast dissolving tablets, which could dissolve in mouth were developed. The tables contained an anti

emetic granisetron which is often used in control of nausea and emesis in cancer chemotherapy.

Formulations were evaluated for its suitability in treating patients with dysphagia.”

14. Design and development of an immediate release tablet for generic market

Status: Comepleted (For Cadila Pharma, Ahmedabad, 2013)

“Immediate release tablets (IR) of Fexofenadine was formulated for regulatory submission into German

market. The study was carried out in collaboration with the formulation scientist of Cadila Pharma,

Ahmedabad. The formulations employed recent technologies and techniques, and were successfully

processed for regulatory submission.”

15. Formulation and Evaluation of Fast Dissolving Tablets of an Antidepressant Drug

Status: Comepleted (Presented in International conference on drug delivery 2010. Coimbatore)

“Antidepressant drug paroxetine HCl was formulated in to a mouth dissolving tablet. The tables were

suitable for easy administration of the drug in psychiatric non cooperative patients. Fomulation was

sweet in taste with out any obnoxious odour, dissolved in invitro conditions in 20 seconds.”

16. Hepatoprotective Effect of Solanum trilobatum In Ground Nut Fed Albino Mice

Status: Comepleted (Presented in IPA students congress 2009, Bangalore)

“Solanum trilobatum is used in treatment of fatty liver in traditional medicines. The study aimed to

verify the claim scientifically by using suitable animal models. Fatty liver was induced in adult male

albino mice by feeding them with high amounts of ground nut and coconut gratings. SGOT and SGPT

levels were monitored continuously. On administration of plant extract animals showed a recovery from

the above stated pathological condition.”

17. Developed aqueous based film coating for commercial herbal tablets

Status: Comepleted (For Cosmovision Herbals India Ltd. Thrissur, 2007)

“Excisting non aqueous coating technology for commercial tablets (Radix, Thermodium, Natpol) were

replaced with a new aqueous film coating technique. HPMC film coating offered more safety form

residuant solvents and were more cost effective since costlier solvents (IsopPropyl Alcohol, Methylene

Chloride) were eliminated.”

Ongoing Research Projects

18. Synthesis of gold nanoparticles using biomaterials like egg membrane.

19. Development of a Herbal anti-lice shampoo and hair gel

20. Drug coated metal nanoparticles for potent biological activity and targeting

21. Mouth disintegrating controlled release systems

22. Proneosomal tablet systems for improved bioavailability of highly lipophilic drugs
