PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF DIOSPYROS EBENUM J. KOENIG EX RETZ., LEAVES EXTRACT
Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activities with different solvents extracts of Diospyros ebenum were investigated. The phytochemical screening of this study indicated the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, coumarins, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, proteins, saponins, steroids, tannins, and terpenoids. The methanolic extract of D. ebenum was significantly higher phenolic content when c...

AN EVALUATION OF ACUTE AND SUBCHRONIC TOXICITIES OF A NIGERIAN POLYHERBAL ANTIDIABETIC REMEDY
The acute and subchronic toxicities of Nigerian polyherbal antidiabetic remedy, prepared from Gongrenema latifolium and Allium cepa (1:1) leaves was investigated in Swiss albino mice and rats of both sexes. For acute toxicity study, 1000-5000mg/kg of the combined extract were administered orally to rats and observed for 24 hours for obvious toxic symptoms and mortality. The median lethal dose of t...

PROTECTIVE EFFICACY OF THE EXTRACT OF VOLVARIELLA VOLVACEA (BULLIARD EX FRIES) SINGER. AGAINST CARBONTETRACHLORIDE INDUCED HEPATIC INJURY
Carbon tetrachloride is a xenobiotic that produces hepatotoxicity. Aqueous extract Volvariella volvacea (500, 1000 mg/kg, p.o) showed significant hepatoprotective activity against carbontetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in rats by normalizing the levels of serum AST, ALT, ALP, LDH and total bilirubin. The extract improved the activity of Catalase (CAT), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and hepatic g...

AMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF CURCUMIN ON PROFENOFOS INDUCED OXIDATIVE DAMAGE OF RENAL TISSUE IN MICE
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the ameliorative effect of curcumin against profenofos induced oxidative damage of renal tissue in mice. Animals were divided into four different groups namely Group-I (control mice; NC), Group-II (NC gavaged 100µl ethanol for 30 days; EC), Group-III (NC gavaged 25mg/kg b.w profenofos for alternate 30 days; PC) and Group-IV (PC treated with 120mg/kg b.w...

IMMUNOLOCALIZATION OF METALLOTHIONEIN IN DIFFERENT TISSUES OF FRESH WATER CATFISH, CLARIAS GARIEPINUS ON EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM
Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine-rich protein that binds to heavy metals, and it is induced by them. The objective of this study to identify the MT protein induction/expression and localization in liver and kidney tissues (treated with 20 mg/L of CdCl2 for 72 hours) by immunohistochemical techniques and Western Blotting methods in the fresh water catfish, Clarias gariepinus. MT expression (MT-I ...

HPLC METHOD DEVELOPMENT OF AMLODIPINE BY RP-HPLC IN ITS BULK DOSAGE FORMS
A new, simple, precise, sensitive, accurate and reproducible Reverse phase HPLC method was developed and validated for the analysis of amlodipine in bulk dosage forms. The separation was conducted by using c-18 RP-HPLC coloumn, which was maintained at ambient temperature. The mobile phase consisting of Phosphate buffer and Acetonitrile (90:10v/v) was delivered at a rate of 1.5 ml/min. The anal...

EVALUATION OF ANALGESIC ACTIVITY OF SOME NOVEL SUBSTITUTED L-ARGININE ANALOGUES
A series of novel L-arginine analogues were synthesized characterized and screened for analgesic activity by acetic acid induced analgesia model. The purity of the synthesized compounds has been characterized by various analytical techniques such as UV, FTIR and TLC. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for analgesic activity by acetic acid induced analgesia in mice using paracetamol as the st...
