Enhanced bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles synthesized using marine brown macro algae


ABSTRACT:

In the present investigation silver nanoparticles of spherical shape was synthesized biologically by rapid biological drip method using marine brown macro algae, Sargassum wightii (S. Wightii). Seaweed extract act as a reducing agent for silver nitrate. Silver nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometer, FourierTransform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM). Antibacterial activity of these nanoparticles was carried out by antibiotic disc diffusion method against pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Seaweed S. wightii mediated silver nanoparticles were found to be effective against these pathogens than silver nitrate.

Effect of losartan potassium on the solubility of hydrochlorothiazide by solid dispersion technique

Image
ABSTRACT: The present study was carried out to study the feasibility of a novel drug-drug solid dispersion for improving the dissolution of poorly soluble drugs. Hydrochlorothiazide - losartan potassium, which is a fixed dose combination and used for treatment of hypertension was selected as a model for the study. Hydrochlorothiazide is poorly soluble and its absorption is dissolution rate limited. Losartan potassium is freely soluble and used to effect solid dispersion of hydrochlorothiazide. Solid dispersion of hydrochlorothiazide-losartan potassium (1:4) was prepared by solvent evaporation method and evaluated by FTIR, X-ray diffraction and DSC analyses and in-vitro dissolution characteristics. The data were compared with that of physical mixture of hydrochlorothiazide and losartan potassium and of pure hydrochlorothiazide. The results showed reduction in particle size, change from crystalline form to amorphous form and enhanced the dissolution rate of hydrochlorothiazide from s...
