A sensitive and accurate spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of haloperidol in pharmaceutical formulation. This technique involves formation of haloperidol complex with phenol red. The absorbance of the complex is measured at the wavelength of maximum absorbance 484 nm. Results obtained are validated and found reproducible.

There are several bones and cartilage health supplements are available in the market that are commonly used by people especially the elderly people. Several common therapeutic properties mentioned by the manufacturer although it is likely that these products contain some chemical and anti-inflammatory agents that are not mentioned in the labels. There are several analytical methods have been reported to identify these chemicals and anti-inflammatory drugs in bone and cartilage health supplements. The basic aim of this review is to summarize the various analytical techniques utilized to identify some corticosteroids in these supplements.

In recent years molecular modeling has emerged as one of the most versatile tool for drug discovery. The In-silico processes not only provide valuable information about interactions between a target protein and a ligand but also accelerate the rate of lead identification. In addition to pharmacodynamic applications, molecular modeling is of paramount importance in determining the pharmacokinetic fate of lead compound also. A wide range of approaches are now available that varies in their computational demand, accuracy and scale of application. Prompted by the successful application of computational drug design in lead identification we have made an effort to identify novel, structurally diverse and druggable anti-leishmanial, anti-malarial and other diseases compounds through pharmacophore based virtual screening.

Corona viruses (COVID-19) is a disease caused by novel corona virus that basically attacks the respiratory system in humans. Its common symptoms include mild fever and cough to severe distress and death. There is no any definite cure available for this disease. Frequent hand washing and proper social distance helps to prevent the disease. The objective of this short review was to have basic preventive measures in the early stage of COVID-19 outbreak.
