Major Project (B. Pharm) OPIUM POPPY PROJECT.pdfRAHUL PAL
Opium cultivation, an ancient practice rooted in regions like the Golden Triangle and Golden Crescent, involves a meticulous process blending nature and human intervention. Picture a serene landscape with gently rolling hills blanketed in lush greenery. Amidst this verdant tapestry stand tall, slender opium poppy plants, their delicate petals shimmering in hues of pink and white. These plants exude an air of mystique, their bulbous seed pods containing the coveted opium latex. Skilled farmers nurture these plants with utmost care, tending to their needs for water, nutrients, and protection from pests. The cultivation cycle begins with sowing the poppy seeds during specific seasons conducive to their growth. As the plants mature, they blossom into exquisite flowers, each harboring the potential for opium production. The farmers deftly slit the seed pods at just the right moment, allowing the milky sap to seep out and gradually solidify into opium. This labor-intensive process demands precision and patience, as any misstep can impact the potency and quality of the opium yield. Despite its allure, opium cultivation is not without controversy and challenges. Legal restrictions, environmental concerns, and the socioeconomic impacts on communities underscore the complex nature of this age-old practice. However, for those entrenched in the art of opium cultivation, it remains a delicate dance between tradition, livelihood, and the ever-evolving dynamics of global demand and supply.
Niosomes are nanosized vesicles composed of nonionic surfactants and cholesterol that form when these compounds are dispersed in an aqueous medium. These lipid-based structures are similar to liposomes but differ in their composition, as niosomes use nonionic surfactants instead of phospholipids. The unique characteristic of niosomes lies in their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs within their bilayer membrane. This feature makes them promising candidates for drug delivery systems, as they can protect the encapsulated drug from degradation, prolong its release, and enhance its bioavailability. Additionally, niosomes offer advantages such as biocompatibility, stability, and ease of preparation, making them a versatile platform for targeted drug delivery and other biomedical applications.
Niosome An Non-Ionic Surfactant Vesicles.pptxRAHUL PAL
Niosomes are novel drug delivery systems that have garnered significant interest in the pharmaceutical field. They are essentially vesicles composed of non-ionic surfactants and cholesterol, forming a bilayer structure similar to liposomes. However, unlike liposomes, which are composed of phospholipids, niosomes are formed by self-assembly of non-ionic surfactants in aqueous media. This unique composition offers several advantages such as improved drug solubility, stability, and biocompatibility.
The introduction of niosomes as drug carriers has revolutionized the field of drug delivery due to their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. This versatility allows for targeted and controlled release of therapeutics, enhancing their efficacy while minimizing side effects.
Moreover, the surface of niosomes can be modified to achieve specific targeting of drugs to desired sites within the body, thus enhancing therapeutic outcomes and reducing systemic toxicity.
Overall, niosomes hold great promise in the pharmaceutical industry and continue to be a subject of intense research for their potential applications in various fields including cancer therapy, gene delivery, and vaccine development.

Targeted drug delivery systems are employed to administer pharmaceutical medication,
facilitating the precise delivery of drugs to specific diseased areas. Several drug delivery
systems utilise carriers such as antibodies, transdermal patches, biodegradable polymers,
nanoparticles (NPs), liposomes, niosomes, and microspheres. Niosomes, on the other hand,
represent a promising and innovative category of vesicular systems. Niosomes are vesicles
formed by hydrating a combination of nonionic surfactants and cholesterol. These non-ionic
surfactant vesicles serve as carriers for both amphiphilic and lipophilic drugs. In the drug
delivery system using niosomes, the medication is enclosed within a vesicle. Niosomes in
tuberculosis (TB) possess biodegradable and biocompatible properties, are non-immunogenic,
and demonstrate versatility in their structural composition. It’s a serious and potentially deadly
infectious disease caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the recent
update, WHO still estimates 9.9 million new TB cases in 2022 at the latest. Involvement of
niosomes improves the treatment of TB with much more advanced technology and an advanced
drug nanocarrier with better treatment. The main highlights of this review paper are to
summarise the structure, compositions, preparation methods, and ICH stability guidelines for
the formulation of niosomes and their applications in TB with their several stages of treatment
by niosomal formulations.

Determination of Partition coefficient of Known and Unknown drug.pdfRAHUL PAL
Partition coefficient, often denoted as P or P_oct, is a measure of how a solute distributes between two immiscible (unmixable) solvents. It is commonly used in chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology to understand the distribution of a compound between different phases, such as between a hydrophobic organic solvent and water. In experimental settings, the partition coefficient is determined by measuring the concentrations of the solute in each phase. The values obtained provide insights into the solute's behavior and can guide decisions in various scientific and industrial processes.
A pharmaceutical suspension is a heterogeneous system in which finely divided solid particles are dispersed in a liquid medium. Unlike solutions, where solutes are completely dissolved, suspensions involve particles that are only partially soluble or insoluble in the liquid. These suspensions are commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to deliver medications that may be poorly soluble or unstable in their pure form. The solid particles, often in the form of powders or crystals, are dispersed throughout the liquid phase, creating a stable mixture through the use of suspending agents or stabilizers. These agents prevent the settling of particles, ensuring uniform distribution and ease of redispersion upon shaking before administration. Pharmaceutical suspensions offer advantages in terms of flexibility in dosing and formulation, enabling the delivery of therapeutic agents in various forms such as oral liquids, injectables, or topical preparations, enhancing patient compliance and therapeutic efficacy. The formulation and stability of pharmaceutical suspensions require careful consideration of factors such as particle size, density, and the choice of stabilizers to maintain a consistent and reliable product.
PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPOSITORIES & PESSARIES.pptRAHUL PAL
Suppositories and pessaries are both types of medication delivery systems that are designed to be inserted into body orifices for therapeutic purposes. While they serve similar functions, they are used in different parts of the body.
Suppositories:
Usage: Suppositories are typically designed for rectal or vaginal administration.
Composition: They are solid, bullet-shaped or cone-shaped dosage forms that contain medication in a base that melts or dissolves at body temperature.
Rectal Suppositories: Commonly used for medications that need to bypass the digestive system or when a patient cannot take medications orally. They are inserted into the rectum.
Vaginal Suppositories: Often used for localized treatment of gynecological conditions, such as yeast infections or hormonal therapy. They are inserted into the vagina.
Pessaries:
Usage: Pessaries are specifically designed for vaginal administration.
Composition: They are solid, oval-shaped or ring-shaped devices made of various materials such as silicone, rubber, or plastic.
Indications: Pessaries are mainly used to support the uterus, bladder, or rectum in cases of pelvic organ prolapse. However, they can also be used for the controlled release of medication into the vagina for the treatment of local conditions.
Maintenance: Pessaries need to be fitted by a healthcare professional and should be cleaned and reinserted regularly.
Partition Coefficient Determination (Pharmaceutics Practical).pptxRAHUL PAL
Partition coefficients are a fascinating and important concept in many fields, from chemistry and environmental science to medicine and pharmacology. They tell us about how a substance will distribute itself between two immiscible phases, like how a drug might move between your blood and tissues, or how a pollutant might spread through soil and water.
A partition coefficient, denoted as P or log P, describes the ratio of the concentration of a compound in one phase (usually organic) to its concentration in another phase (often water) at equilibrium.
Higher values of P indicate a greater preference for the organic phase, meaning the compound is more lipophilic (fat-loving).
Lower values of P suggest a higher affinity for the aqueous phase, implying the compound is more hydrophilic (water-loving).

Medical research has a long and varied history. It has evolved from rudimentary practices to sophisticated, evidence-based methodologies. Some key milestones include the development of the scientific method, the use of randomized controlled trials, the discovery of antibiotics, and the mapping of the human genome. Ethical concerns have also played a significant role in shaping the history of medical research, especially in response to various ethical violations, such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the Nuremberg Trials.
Resolving conflicts between these principles often requires careful consideration, ethical analysis, and, in some cases, consultation with ethics committees or boards. The specific course of action may vary based on the individual circumstances and ethical frameworks employed by healthcare professionals and researchers. Ethical guidelines and regulations also play a significant role in addressing and preventing these conflicts in medical research.
Research Article Published: "Optimization and formulation of dox loaded lipos...RAHUL PAL
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anticancer drug, but it is also associated with significant side effects, such as cardiotoxicity. Liposomal encapsulation of DOX can help to reduce these side effects and improve the drug's efficacy.
There are a number of different factors that can affect the optimization and formulation of DOX-loaded liposomes, including:
Lipid composition: The type and ratio of lipids used to form the liposomes can affect their size, stability, and drug encapsulation efficiency. Some commonly used lipids for DOX liposomes include hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (HSPC), cholesterol, and distearoylphosphatidylglycerol (DSPG).
Drug loading method: There are a number of different methods for loading DOX into liposomes. Some common methods include the ammonium sulfate gradient method, the remote loading method, and the ethanol injection method. The choice of loading method can affect the drug encapsulation efficiency and stability of the liposomes.
Liposome size: The size of the liposomes can affect their circulation time in the body and their ability to target specific tissues. Smaller liposomes tend to have a longer circulation time and are better able to penetrate tumors.
Surface modification: Liposomes can be surface-modified with various ligands to improve their targeting and delivery properties. For example, liposomes can be conjugated with antibodies to target specific cancer cells.
The optimization of DOX-loaded liposomes is typically carried out using a quality by design (QbD) approach. QbD is a systematic approach to drug development that focuses on identifying and controlling the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of the drug product. The CQAs of DOX-loaded liposomes may include particle size, drug encapsulation efficiency, stability, and in vitro and in vivo performance.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Introduction
• At the end of the ‘19th century’ and early ‘20 century’ use of Allopathy system
increases.
• Drugs of natural origin: Veg., mineral oil & animals.
• At he time, profit becomes main motive than service.
• Overdose of quinine.
• Drugs are badly adulterated like “Satonine”.
• “India becomes a land of quacks doctors, quack medicine mongers, quacks
dentists, quack of medicine, quacks of opticians, quack of faith healers”
• There was practically no legislation to control on drugs as well as on the
pharmacy profession.
3. ORIGIN AND NATURE OF
PHARMACEUTICALS LEGISLATION OF INDIA
Earlier, all the allopathic system of medicine was brought by Britisher’s to our
country and allopathic medicines were mainly imported.
To have some control on the import, the British Rulers introduced.
The Indian Merchandise Marks Act 1889.
The Sea Customs Act 1898.
Indian Tariff Act 1894.
The Opium Act 1878.
Poison Act 1919.
The resolution of pharmaceutical legislation was passed by the council of the state to be
Governor-General in council to urge all provisions Government's to take immediate steps
to control indiscriminate use of drugs.
4. Drugs Enquiry Committee.
There were wide spread cases of adulterated drugs, quack medicines, spurious medicines which
are being imported into the country, the viceroy appointed a committee on 11th August 1930, under
the chairmanship of Col. R.N. Chopra.
• This Committee is also known as “Viceroy committee/R.N. Committee/Drug Enquiry
Committee”.
• The report was published in 1931.
• Subjected in this committee in chairmanship R.N. Chopra:
01. Enquire the extent to which drugs of impure quality or defective strength were being imported,
manufactured or sold in India.
02. Recommend steps for controlling import, manufacture and sale in public interest.
03. Enquire into the necessity of legislation to restrict the profession of pharmacy to qualified
persons and to make recommendations.
5. Cont.
The drugs Enquiry Committee the legislations relating to drugs in force
were:
Poisons Act 1919.
Dangerous Drugs Act 1930.
Opium Act 1818.
Which were specific in nature and there was a need for a comprehensive
legislations to control the import, manufacture and sale of drugs.
6. Recommendations
• A Central law to control drugs and pharmacy profession.
• Setting up of test laboratories in all states to control the quality of production of
drugs and pharmaceuticals and a control laboratory to control the quality of
imported drugs and also to act as expert referee in case of disputed samples
sent by local Governments.
• Appointment of an Advisory Board to advise the government in making rules to
carry out the objects of the Act.
