Pharmacognosticinvestigation involving organoleptic evaluation, fluorescent analysis, phytochemical screening and mineral analysis was carried out on the dried powdered leaves of Allophylus africanus used for treating pain, headaches, common cold, Fever and as antibiotics in Eastern Province of Sierra Leone. The powdered leaves were light brown...
Drug discovery and design is a tedious and lengthy process which takes enormous time, and when this proce ss reache s it’s final stage that is the fin al stage of clinical trials 90% of the promising drug candidates fail levying a huge financial burden of around $2-3bn on the developer company. The drug failure not only incurs a financial loss to the company, but...
The oxidation of malic acid by chloramine –T with the presence of cationic surfactant e.g., cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in acetic acid medium has been studied. The reaction shows first order with respect to [CAT] and fractional order with respect to [Substrate]. The reaction rate decraeses with increase in concentration of acetic acid. The...
This work is devoted to the study of the effects of various operational parameters such as H2O2, K2S2O8, NaCl,Na2CO3, FeCl3, Fenton’s reagent, O2, N2 purging, effect of other photocatalysts on the photocatalytic degradation of toluidine blue dye by as synthesized nano BiOCl under solar light in following conditions pH= 11, catalyst loading= 30 mg/100ml and...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of genotoxic environmental contaminants and are always exposed to solar radiations. Fluorenes are important PAHs widely distributed in nature and hence the studies in the effect of light on them are of ulmost significance. Therefore in this paper, we have studied the photo irradiations of fluorene (1) and ...
