Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of natural radioactivity  concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K in the surface (0-5cm) soil samples collected from Odigbo in the Southwestern region of Nigeria. The surface soils were collected along the streets of this city. The activity concentrations of naturally-occurring radioactive materials in the […]

Abstract The discovery of cisplatinas new metallodrugs shows higher efficiencies and lower side effects. In this work, 2-(4-clorophenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole schiff base ligand and complexes of 2-(4-clorophenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazoleligand with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions were synthesized. 2-Dimensional TLC results one node that reveal the ligand is pure. The melting point of the ligand is 197-199°C. Identification the result […]

Abstract Background: There is an abundance of herbal medicines that may introduce to cure the human patient for different syndromes with mild side effect. This study aimed to investigate In-vitro and In-vivo bioactivities potential of some Egyptian wild plants as anti-ulcerogenic on male albino rats. Polyphenols constitute a distinct group of natural compounds of medicinal […]

Abstract Traditional herbal medicines have been used to treat malaria for thousands of years in various parts of the world especially Africa.  This review addresses medicinal plants used to treat malaria in traditional medicine from many Africa countries and compare popularly used native species, antimalarial activity of extracts and isolated substances. New drugs have to […]

Abstract Ina sua is a traditional salted fish product belongs to Teo Nila Sarua (TNS) community, Maluku, Indonesia. The first aim of this study is to find out the effect of salt concentration on protein content and bacteria number of cakalang fish (Katsuwonus pelamis) Ina sua. Three salt concentrations (10%, 20% & 30%) are used […]

Abstract Using p-acetamidophenol as an active hydrogen component, two Mannich bases: N,N-[(5-acatamido-2-hydroxy)benzyl]ethylamine(I) and N-[(5-acatamido-2-hydroxy)benzyl]ethylamine(II) were synthesized via a general synthesis protocol. .The structures of the target molecules were elucidated by a combination of spectral techniques (UV, IR, 1H NMR and MS). The Mannich bases were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against seven standard human pathogens. […]

Abstract Jatropha curcas seed oil was studied by GC-MS. The oil was also evaluated for antimicrobial activity. Twenty two components were detected by GC-MS analysis. Main constituents are: Z,Z-9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester (37.56%); Z-9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (26.03%%); hexadecanoic acid methyl ester (19.09%); methyl stearate (13.20%). The antibacterial activity of the oil was evaluated via […]

Abstract Solubility enhancement is a technique used for the hydrophobic drugs. Low aqueous solubility is the major problem, due to which drugs cannot reach the therapeutic level. Most of drugs weakly acidic and weakly basic with poor aqueous solubility. Low aqueous solubility is the major problem encountered with formulation development of new chemical entities as […]

Abstract The anti-nutrient compositions of fluted pumpkin leaf grown in three different geoponic media were quantified. These media were white-sand (WS), humus soil (HS) and sawdust (SD). The anti-nutrients composition of matured pumpkin leaf assessed were alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, hydrogen cyanide, trypsin-inhibitor, oxalate, tannins and phytate. Standard analytical methods were followed in the determination of […]

Abstract Plant oils are reproduced from plant resources, which can be found in profusion all-around the world. Plant oils are mainly occurred from triglycerides. The triglyceride molecules are constituted of three types of fatty acids combined at a glycerol juncture. With 0 to 3 double bonds per fatty acid, the most widespread plant oils include […]
