Answer : 1. "Preval"
Explanation :

Doctors at Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai have indigenously developed Preval, the first chemotherapy drug in India to be available as a syrup formulation. These were earlier not available in liquid form in developing countries. Preval effectively overcomes the challenges of pediatric dosage flexibility, palatability and tolerability compared to tablets.
