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.

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

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.

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).

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.
Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutics Delivery.pdfRAHUL PAL
Nucleic acid-based therapeutics (NATs) are a promising new class of drugs that have the potential to treat a wide range of diseases, including cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases. NATs work by directly targeting the genetic material of cells, either to alter gene expression or to repair damaged DNA or RNA.
However, delivering NATs to cells can be challenging. Nucleic acids are large and fragile molecules, and they can be easily degraded by enzymes in the body. Additionally, NATs need to be able to cross the cell membrane and enter the cytoplasm in order to function.
Nucleic acid-based therapeutics delivery is a rapidly evolving field, and new delivery systems are being developed all the time. As delivery systems improve, NATs are becoming more and more viable as treatments for a wide range of diseases.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

DRUG DISCOVERY SOFTWARE
INTORDUCTION: Drug discovery software is used to develop new
pharmaceutical drugs and test whether a newly created drug will be effective in
treating a particular disease. Drug discovery software automates and leverages
innovative technology that significantly cuts down on the arduous process of drug
development, testing, and going to market.[10]
Most drug discovery solutions offer screening, predictive analytics, modeling,
simulation, and computational capabilities.
Researchers and scientists use drug discovery software to gain market intelligence,
take advantage of advancements in drug design and synthesis, tackle evolving and
adapting diseases, and maintain and manage the integrity of data as drugs
transition from the discovery phase to the clinical trial phase.
Computer aided drug design uses computational chemistry to discover enhance or
study drugs and related biologically active molecules. Software based drug
discovery and development methods have major role in the development of bioactive
compounds for over last three decades.
Computer- assist drug design (CADD), also called Computer assist
molecular design (CAMD), and represent more recent applications of computer as
tools in the drug design process and many new software used in modern days, and
in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology, facilitated by
development in genomics and proteomics, are producing a large number of novel
biological targets that may be exploited för therapeutic intervention. [04]

DRUG DESIGN PROCESS
It is the inventive process of finding new medications based on the knowledge of a
biological target.
It involves the design of molecules that are complementary in shape and charge to
the biomolecular target with which they interact and therefore will bind to it.[02]
Selected/Designed molecule should be-
❑ Organic small molecules/ Complementary in shape to the target.
❑ Oppositely charge to the biomolecules target.
This molecule will-
❑ Interact with target/Bind to the target.
❑ Activates or inhibits the function of a biomolecules such as a protein.
This type of modeling is sometimes referred to as Computer-aided drug design.

binds to the desired target active site. [01]
Figure for Outline of process involved in LBDD
Ligand based drug design is an approach used in the absence of the receptor 2D
information and it relies on knowledge of molecules that bind to the biological
target of interest. 3D quantitative structure activity relationship (3D QSAR) and
pharmacophore modeling are the most important and widely used tools in ligand-
based drug design.
They can provide predictive models suitable for lead identification and optimization.
Further information on these methods and their applications to 5-LOX inhibitor
design and development are presented elsewhere in the reviews.

projects in the group, computer-aided methods, such as virtual screening and de
novo design techniques, play an important role in follows 3-D structure three-
dimensional structure of compound can generated and studies using molecular
modeling software package such as Chem3D. [01-02]]
The 2-D structure is converted into a 3-D structure is converted into 3-D structure,
which is quite clever, but is not error free, since the structure created is usually
distorted (the bond lengths and the bond angles are not ideal).

manufacturing process.
When the pharmaceutical process and product are optimized by systematic
approach then process validation & scale up can be efficient because of the
robustness of the formulation and manufacturing process.
Design of experiment & statistical analysis have been used in the formulation
development.
