Tablet is one of the utmost chosen dosage forms administered orally. Disintegrants are substances added to tablets and some encapsulated preparations to encourage the breaking up of both tablet and capsule “slugs” into smaller fragments in an aquatic environment. This increases the surface area that is available and speeds up the release of the drug […]
Microwave Assisted Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization and Antimicrobial Activities of Co(II) Complexes Containing Biologically Active Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives
Microwave Assisted Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization and Antimicrobial Activities of Co(II) Complexes Containing Biologically Active Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives Kamal Kishor Verma and Suresh Kumar Verma Abstract In present study two thiosemicarbazone ligands i.e. 4HAT and 3NBT and their novel Cobal(II) aryl thiosemicarbazones complexes having the general composition [Co(L1)2Cl2], [Co(L2)2Cl2],{where L1= 4-Hydroxyacetophenone thiosemicarbazones (4HAT), L2 = 3-Nitrobenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones […]
Phytochemical Composition, Proximate Analysis and Vitamin Content of (Tetracarpidium conophorum) Wall Nut Seed
Abstract This study investigates the phytochemical composition, proximate analysis and vitamin content of Tetracarpidium conophorum (black walnut) seed. Standard procedures were used for the analyses, the result of the phytochemical composition of the walnut seed reveals the presence of the following which increase in this order; tannins < cyanides < terpenoids < saponins < steroids […]
Effect of Transfluthrin-Impregnated Insecticide Paper on Some Biochemical Parameters and Lung Histopathology in Rats
Abstract Serum malondealdehyde (MDA), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and histological analysis of lungs were carried out in twenty rats exposed to smoke from transfluthrin impregnated insecticide paper. The rats were divided into five groups (I, II, III, IV and V) of four each. Group one served as control while Group […]
Relationship between Band gap and particle size of Cadmium sulfide Quantum Dots
Abstract Nanoparticles at quantum dot level are considered to be larger than individual atoms and molecules but smaller than their bulk solid. In such a condition, they are believed to obey neither absolute quantum chemistry nor laws of classical physics. Therefore they have properties that differ significantly from those expected experimentally. Therefore, there are two […]
Phytochemical, Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory Evaluation of the Crude Ethanol and n-hexane Extracts of the Aerial Parts of Laggera aurita Linn.
Abstract The use of herbs to treat disease is almost universal among non-industrialized societies, and is often more available, accessible and affordable than purchasing expensive modern pharmaceuticals. Laggera aurita is a widely used medicinal plant in African countries like Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Ghana. The leaves are the part of the plant reported to be […]
Chemical Constituents from the Stem bark of Vitex negundo L.
Abstract Vitex negundo L. (Verbenaceae) is found in south- eastern Asia, Afghanistan, India, China, Tanzania, Madagascar, Europe, West Indies and North America as a much branched aromatic shrub. The plant parts are used to treat asthma, body pains, diarrhoea, dysentery, dyspepsia, fever, liver, skin and spleen diseases, malaria, piles, rheumatism, sinusitis, spermatorrhoea, sprains, swellings, urticaria, […]
Proximate study, amino acids and Phyto-constituents of raw and boiled Ficus polita Vahl fruits
Abstract The nutritional composition, amino acid profile and anti nutritional factors of raw and boiled Ficus polita fruits were evaluated using standard analytical methods. The proximate composition (%) of the raw fruit meal showed moisture content (5.23%), ash (11.88%), fat (2.09%), fibre (10.42%), protein (9.44) and carbohydrate (66.17%) and energy value of 1362.70 Kcal/kg. Boiling […]
Comparative Analysis of Effect of Alternative Solvents on Extraction of Moringa oleifera Seed Oil
Abstract This paper study Comparative analysis of Moringa oleifera seed oil using alternative solvents (Petroleum ether and Acetone). The influence of different conditions and physicochemical parameters using petroleum ether and acetone were analysed statistically. The results of the physicochemical properties for petroleum ether and acetone are as follows; Peroxide value: (1.16 mEq/kg and 0.84 mEq/kg), […]
Sorption Capacity of Chitin and Chitosan-Glucan Biopolymers
Abstract The goal of this study is to examine sorption capacity of chitin-glucan (ChGC) and chitosan-glucan (CsGC) biopolymer complexes extracted from the fungus Aspergillus niger mycelium which is a by-product of citric acid production. It was established that the sorption capacity of diacetylated CsGC with primary amine groups is higher against Pb2+ and Сu2+ (130-140 […]
