TL;DR: The impact of consumption of adulterated foods on human health and the roles of the concerned authorities to eradicate it are described and a positive change is brought through proper measures by the concerned regulatory authorities.
Abstract: Adulteration of foods has become a national issue. The problem is not only ignoring the human rights for safer food but also endangering public health seriously with numerous acute and chronic diseases. Our future generation will be seriously affected with vulnerable physical and mental growth inflicted by food adulteration. This paper describes the impact of consumption of adulterated foods on human health and the roles of the concerned authorities to eradicate it. The key objective of this paper is not to blame or undermine anyone. We intend to inform the current scenario of food adulteration and wish to bring a positive change through proper measures by the concerned regulatory authorities.

TL;DR: It was found that the hexane extract of lemon peel showed antidi diabetic activity comparable to that of glimepiride, and it can thus be inferred that the extract of Lemon peel possesses significant antidiabetic activity.
Abstract: Diabetes is classified as a metabolic disorder manifested by elevated level of glucose in the blood. An attempt has been made to compare the antidiabetic activity of hexane extract of lemon peel (Citrus Limon ) with that of a marketed product, glimepiride, in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The study was performed by the measurement of blood glucose level using a glucometer. It was found that the hexane extract of lemon peel showed antidiabetic activity comparable to that of glimepiride. It can thus be inferred that the extract of lemon peel possesses significant antidiabetic activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of Remazol Red (RR) on activated sawdust at various particle size, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH values were designed for the Langmuir and Freundlich Isotherms.
Abstract: Activated carbon prepared from sawdust is endeavored as adsorbent for the removal of reactive dye, namely Remazol Red (RR) from aqueous media. The adsorption of RR has been studied onto activated sawdust at various particle size, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH values. The adsorptions of the above mentioned dye were designed for the Langmuir and Freundlich Isotherms. Pseudo first and second order kinetic models were used to calculate the amount adsorbed at equilibrium (q e ). The calculated values of qe for pseudo-second order equation were found to be in good agreement with those of experimental values. The monolayer capacity (q m ) for treated sawdust (8.00 mg g –1 ) is greater than commercial charcoal (0.074 mg g –1 ). It is established that treated sawdust has been used as a better adsorbent for the removal of RR as compared to commercial charcoal. This process may eventually be used to get industrial waste free purified water. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bpj.v16i1.14501 Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 16 (1): 93-98, 2013

TL;DR: The method was found to be an accurate, reproducible and sensitive for analysis of vildagli leptin and linagliptin in pharmaceutical dosage forms.
Abstract: The present study was undertaken to develop a spectrophotometric method for determination of vildagliptin and Linagliptin in pharmaceutical dosage forms. This paper describes a simple, rapid, accurate and precise UVspectrophotometric method for the assay of vildagliptin and linagliptin in bulk and marketed tablet dosage forms. The validation of the developed method was carried out according to ICH guidelines with respect to linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, limit of detection and limit of quantification. Calibration curves were obtained in the concentration range of 8-32 μg/ml for vildagliptin and 5-25 μg/ml for linagliptin with good correlation coefficients (r=0.999). The precisions of the new method for both drugs were less than the maximum allowable limit (%RSD < 2.0) specified by the USP, ICH and FDA. Therefore, the method was found to be an accurate, reproducible and sensitive for analysis of vildagliptin and linagliptin in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

TL;DR: The aim of this review was to compile the phytoconstituents reported from various species of Erythrina and found E. variegata consist of the highest number of chemical constituents.
Abstract: The genus Erythrina is a potential source of chemical constituents, many of which medicinal properties. Although some reviews on chemical constituents of particular Erythrina species could be found, no detailed review covering the chemistry of different Erythrina species has been reported to the best of my knowledge. Therefore, the aim of this review was to compile the phytoconstituents reported from various species of Erythrina . A total of 155 secondary metabolites have been published from 15 species of Erythrina . Among them E. subumbrans and E. variegata consist of the highest number of chemical constituents.
