Abstract The production of our food and the quality of our environment are so importantly related to the wide use of the soil, it is very important that all of us know some basic facts and ideas about the soil. We also see that there is much information available on physico-chemical properties of soil but […]

Abstract Fast dissolving films are playing an important role in the current pharmaceutical drug delivery systems. They have convenience and ease of use over solid and liquid dosage forms. In the present research, fast dissolving oral film of terbutaline sulphate were developed using HPMC K15 LV as film forming polymer. The films were prepared by […]

Abstract Significant concerns have been raised over pollution of antibiotics including metronidazole (MNZ) in aquatic environments in recent years. dried Canola biomass is a potential effective absorbent for metronidazole antibiotics and can be used to remove them from aqueous solution. The adsorption isotherm fits Langmuir and Temkin models well, and the theoretical maximum of adsorption […]

Abstract The aim of this study the effect of H2O2 produced by E. faecalis in causing genomic instability by using comet assay and visualizing the histological alterations in rats colon tissues. The results showed a significant decrease correlated with the decrease of the concentration of E. faecalis in each of following characters: the mean % […]

Abstract Effect of chronic consumption of thermoxidized palm oil diets on blood parameters in albino rats fed with garlic was investigated. Twenty one albino rats were selected and assigned to three groups of seven each. Group 1 (control group) were fed normal rat chow. Group 2 were given thermoxidized palm oil diet Group 3 were […]

Abstract An ethno-botanical survey was conducted to collect plants use in cancer management within the North-Eastern Nigeria. A semi structured questionnaire was administered to traditional medicine practitioners (TMPs) to collect relevant information.  Thirty nine (39) respondents were interviewed and questionnaire administered to them. The average age of respondents is 46.7 years and there was a […]

Abstract This study involves the isolation and identification of the lactic acid bacterium Leuconostoc mesenteroidesfrom dairy product (cheese) and variable plant material by the colony morphology and routine confirmative biochemical reactions. From sixty isolates were collected, 19 isolates were belonged to Leuconostocspecies and only 10 of them were Lc. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides. All isolates were […]

Abstract The study is aimed to isolate and analyse the lipids (fatty acids, phospholipids and phytosterols) of three plant products commonly used as food ingredients (Bridelia ferruginea stem bark (Ira), Monodora myristica seed kernel (Ariyo) and Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Ajo)). The fat (%), total fatty acid (%) and energy (kJ/100g) had range values of 1.40 […]

Abstract A series of new phenothiazine derivatives have been synthesized in which diphenylamine on treatment with sulphur give 10H-phenothiazinewhich on reaction with ethylchloro acetate yielded 2-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)acetate which on further treatment with hydrazine hydrate produced 2-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl) acetohydrazide. Condensation of chief intermediate with various benzaldehyde derivatives afforded N’-(substitutedbenzylidene)-2-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl) acetohydrazide. All the synthesized derivatives have been characterized by […]
