ANTIBIOGRAM OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM PRE- AND POST-SURGERY VESICOVAGINAL FISTULA (VVF) PATIENTS IN ABAKALIKI, EBONYI STATE
Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is an abnormal fistulous tract that extends between the bladder and the vagina - thus allowing the continuous involuntary discharge of urine into the vaginal vault of the affected patient. This study evaluated presumptively the prevalence and antibiogram of pathogenic bacteria isolated from pre- and post-surgery VVF patients. Urine samples were collected in duplicates f...

FABRICATION AND IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF CEFIXIME NANOPARTICLES USING GUM KONDAGOGU AND CHITOSAN AS MATRIX FORMERS
Cefixime is more effective in treating multi drug resistant typhoid fever but the major limitation was its poor bioavailability with short half- life. The present investigation was attempted to develop a natural polymer based nanoparticles containing cefixime using gum kondagogu and chitosan as polymers for customising the drug release profile to achieve an effective therapeutic concentration by i...

CHONEMORPHA FRAGRANS (MOON) ALSTON – AN EFFECTIVE ANTIHYPERGLYCEMIC AND ANTIHYPERLIPIDEMIC AGENT IN STREPTOZOTOCIN NICOTINAMIDE INDUCED DIABETIC RATS.
Ethanolic extract of the roots of Chonemorpha fragrans, a traditionally used antidibetic plant was evaluated for its antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effect using streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced diabetic rat model. Oral glucose tolerance test with 2g/kg of glucose and normoglycemic studies were performed which showed a dose dependant decrease in sugar levels. The acute oral toxicity st...

SYNTHESIS, ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTI- MYCOBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF SOME NOVEL3-(6-PHENYL-[1,2,4]TRIAZOLO[3,4-B][1,3,4]THIADIAZOL-3-YL)-2H-CHROMEN-2-ONE
Several 3, 6-substituted - [1,2,4] Triazolo [3,4-b][1,3,4] Thiadiazole}-2H-Chromen-2-ones(5a-5j) have been synthesized from ethyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate (1) through a multistep reaction sequence. Compound 1 reacted with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of ethanol to give 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide (2) which on treatment with carbon disulphide and methanolic potassium hydroxide ...

QUANTIFICATION OF β-SITOSTEROL FROM FIELD GROWN PLANTS AND CALLUS OF CRATAEVA TAPIA L.
Crataeva tapia L. (Family- Capparaceae) is an important medicinal tree, commonly called as ‘Varuna’. The plant has been reported to possess several medicinal properties. Propagation of Crataeva tapia L. is mostly by seeds, but germination percentage is very low mainly due to presence of hard seed coat. Conservation and propagation of species using biotechnological tools like plant tissue cultu...
