Abstract A new, simple and low cost spectrophotometric method for the determination of Glibenclamide in pharmaceutical preparations was developed. The method was based on the interaction of Glibenclamide as n-electron donor with Picric acid as the π – acceptor. The absorbance maximum (λmax) of the resultant complex was at 419 nm. Different variables affecting the […]
Effects of crude solvent extracts of flower and stalk of male Carica papaya (paw paw) on ten pathogenic bacteria
Abstract Three solvents extracts of flower and stalk of male Carica papaya were used to inhibit ten pathogenic bacteria. The ten bacteria investigated in this research were: Shigella Sonei, Streptococcus Pyrogenes, Escherichiacoli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphybcpccus aureus, Salmonella enteridis, Basilius cereus, Streptococcus faecalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Shigella dysenteriae. Three solvents were used in the extraction of […]
Advanced Glycation End Products (AGES): Pathological Entanglement
Abstract Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result of exposure to sugars. AGEs are considered as a heterogeneous group of compounds that rise non-enzymatically by the reaction of reducing sugars and other α-carbonylic compounds with amino groups, not only with proteins but also with lipids and nucleic […]
Synthesis and characterization of some new N-substituted phthalimide
Abstract The present work involves preparation of N-substituted phthalimide derivatives. The Performing of this research includes three steps: The first step of this work was includes preparation of potassium phthalimide. The second step involves preparation of N-alkyl phthalimide by reacting of phthalimide salte with (benzylchloride, PVC, adipoyl chloride, and Aryloyl chloride) respectively. The third step […]
The Constituents and Pharmacology of Corchorus aestuans: A Review
Abstract The preliminary phytochemical investigation of various extracts of leaves of Corchorus aestuans showed the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, glycosides, carbohydrates, protins, amino acids, fatty acids, saponins, phytosterols, triterpenoids, cardiac glycosides and tannins. The previous pharmacological studied revealed that Corchorus aestuans exerted apoptotic, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory and other pharmacological effects. However, despite […]
Traditional uses, constituents and pharmacological effects of Cuscuta planiflora
Abstract In traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, the seeds of the dodder (Cuscuta planiflora) are often harvested and ground into a fine powder, which was then made into tablets or encapsulated and taken to treat osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, general muscular pains. Dodder was employed in Ayurveda as a remedy for jaundice, as a mild laxative and […]
Phytochemical Investigation of Extracts of Ziziphus nummularia (Burm. F. Wight & Arn) Leaves and Fruits
Abstract Hydro-alcoholic extraction of leaves and fruits of Ziziphus nummularia were prepared by Soxhlet and Maceration Method. Phytochemical Screening was performed for both of the extracts. Extract were also analyzed by FT-IR and HPLC. The phytochemical screening of various extracts showed the presence of a Flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, Phenolic compounds and Saponins, whereas protein and […]
Chemical Changes in Crude Palm-Oil and Refined Palm Kernel-Oil Employed in Deep-Frying
Abstract Crude palm oil and refined palm kernel oil samples were used in the frying of plantain and were compared to same oil samples ordinarily heated without frying, these served as control. The chemical analyses covered free fatty acid, peroxide, anisidine, iodine and saponification values. These values measure the extent of the oil degradation, i.e […]
