Indian medicinal herbs have long been recognized for their healing properties. The oldest medical system, Ayurveda, advises using treatments based mostly on medicinal herbs to address a wide range of human and animal ailments. The average person can afford and get herbal therapies. The powerful source of many pharmacological activities was medicinal plants. Due to the ability of the plants and its chemical to treat a disease that results in significant financial loss and decreased animal production for livestock owners, one of the plants with anthelmintic action has attracted a lot of interest. Although less effective at curing diseases, crude drugs are generally side effect free. Various in vitro and in vivo techniques have been used to examine medicinal plants for this activity. The crude compounds made from plants are less effective in treating parasite disorders but they are generally free from adverse effects. In undeveloped nations, helminthiasis is historically treated with a wide variety of medicinal plants. In order to treat parasitic infections, plant-derived medications are receiving a lot of attention.This review present the herbal medicines or medicinal plants which are have number of benefits and used as anthelmintic. Ethnobotanical survey, in India the belief that their evaluation will accelerate the discovery of new effective therapeutic agents as anthelmintic.

Recent developments in nanotechnology have paved the way for the creation of novel biomaterials based on the nanoscale with numerous potential uses in the area of nanomedicine. The main issue that medical experts are dealing with is targeted drug delivery to specified areas. These issues could be solved by the newly created colloidal system known as nanosponge. Nanosponges are a brand-new type of colloidal structures made of hypercross-linked polymers and composed of solid nanoparticles with colloidal diameters and nanosized voids. Nanosponges are tiny sponges that are roughly the size of a virus and may hold a range of medications. These tiny sponges can move through the body until they reach the intended target site, where they adhere to the skin and start to release the drug in a controlled and predictable manner. This review attempts to elaborate the advantages, synthesis, characterisation, and applications of nanosponges.

Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve pregnancy. Infertility affects millions of people of reproductive age worldwide and has an impact. Estimates suggest that between 48 million couples and 186 million individuals live with infertility globally. In the male reproductive system, infertility is most commonly caused by problems in the ejection of semen, absence or low levels of sperm, or abnormal shape (morphology) and movement (motility) of the sperm. In the female reproductive system, infertility may be caused by a range of abnormalities of the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and endocrine system, among others. The number of pharmacological investigations on Terminalia catappa has been so far. The present study is to evaluate the fertility-enhancing activity of Terminalia catappa in experimental animals (MALE Albino rats).

NATURAL MUCOADHESIVE POLYMERS IN NASAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM: A REVIEW

Arunima Kamal*, Dr. K Premaletha
Department of Pharmaceutics, College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Government Medical College, Kannur, Kerala University of Health Sciences, Kerala, India.

Intranasal drug delivery is considered to be a useful and reliable alternative to the oral and parenteral route. Benefits of nasal drug delivery include large surface area, avoiding first pass effect, rapid onset of action, the potential for direct delivery to the brain, etc. There are different barriers to nasal delivery which decrease the drug bioavailability. One of the approaches to increase bioavailability is the mucoadhesive drug delivery system. The mucoadhesive system is the ideal choice of drug delivery system for systemic nasal delivery because it improves the residence time thus prolonging the duration of action as well as the extent of absorption. This article is a review of the natural mucoadhesive polymers used in nasal drug delivery systems. This includes the mechanism of mucoadhesion, advantages, and disadvantages of mucoadhesive polymers, and the different mucoadhesive polymers used.
