POTENTIAL LARVICIDES IN NIGERIAN HERBAL RECIPES
Investigations into the larvicidal potential of crude extracts of ten Nigerian plants were carried out against the fourth instar larvae of Anopheles gambiae mosquito. The phytochemical screening revealed that both anthraquinones and cyanogenic glycosides were absent in all the plants. However, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, cardiac glycosides, terpenes and flavonoids were either present or absent. ...

PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF APIGENIN ON 7, 12- DIMETHYLBENZ (A) ANTHRACENE INDUCED GLYCOCONJUGATES IN THE PLASMA AND BUCCAL MUCOSA OF GOLDEN SYRIAN HAMSTERS
Present study investigated the protective effect of apigenin on cell surface glycoconjugates abnormalities in 7, 12-dimethyldenz(a)anthracene(DMBA) induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis. DMBA painting in the hamster buccal pouch three times per week for 14 weeks developed oral squamous cell carcinoma. The levels of glycoconjugates (Protein bound hexose, Hexosamine, Lipid bound sialic acid, T...

IN VITRO ANTIMICROBIAL SCREENING OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AGAINST CLINICAL AND PHYTOPATHOGENIC BACTERIA AND FUNGI
The positive results of screening medicinal plants for antimicrobial activity forms primary platform for phytochemical and pharmacological studies in future. The work was undertaken to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of four medicinal plants viz., Sesbania grandiflora, Epiphyllum oxypetalum, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, and Vetiveria zizanioides. Leaves were extracted using water and ethanol as s...

IMPACT OF CELL SENESCENCE ON AGE – RELATED NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDERS: THE MECHANISM TO THERAPY- A REVIEW
Aging is a natural phenomenon; it is a well-known fact that everyone is aging as time passes. A major contributor to this process is cell senescence. Cell senescence can be a result of the exposure to stress such as oxidative stress, epigenomic damage or DNA damage, or it can be due to telomere shortening is also known as end replication problem. It was first observed by Hayflick. Senescent cells ...

EFFECT OF IVNT ON OVARIAN WEIGHT, FOLLICLE NUMBER, ESTRUS FREQUENCY AND REVERSIBILITY OF REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE IN ALBINO RAT
The cyclic albino rats of body weight group (120-130 gm.) were intravaginally treated with single dose (0.1 ml) neem oil at various durations to study its anti-fertility efficiency. It was observed that a significant increase in ovarian weight in weekly three months treated rat group to control and a significant decrease in follicle numbers in single ovary in weekly and fortnightly one and three ...

IN-VITRO LOUSCIDAL AND ACARICIDAL ACTIVITIES OF ALKALOID OF CALPURNIA AUREA EXTRACTS AGAINST LINOGNATHUS OVILLUS AND AMBLYOMMA VARIEGATUM
The study was designed to evaluate the louscidal, and acaricidal activities of alkaloids of Calpurnia aurea leaves extracts. Alkaloid of C. area leaves extract at concentrations of 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5 and 6.25 mg/ml were used for in-vitro adult immersion test of ticks and lice, which they were monitored for their mortality rates for 24 h. The activities of test substances were evaluated against...

INCREASING COMPLEX FORMATION OF WEAK ACID DRUG WITH ION EXCHANGE RESIN
Functionality of Ion Exchange Resin (IER) mainly depends on solubility and degree of ionization and molecular weight of drug. For this reason the application of IER is limited to only strong acidic and basic drugs or drug existing as salt; not for weak acidic and weak basic drugs due to their low ionization properties. If we increase the ionization of weak acid and bases, then application of IER w...
