SYNTHESIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF NEW 3, 4- DIHYDROPYRIMIDINONES
A number of aldehydes were reacted with acetyl acetone or ethyl acetoacetate and urea under Biginelli reaction conditions to give the corresponding 5-acyl-4-(substituted-aryl)-6-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-one. The 5-acetyl-derivatives were converted into pyrimido-oxazoles, pyrimido-pyrazoles, and chalcones. Some Mannich bases were also synthesized. Some selected compounds were tested for their ...

EXPLORING THE ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF ARTEMISIA ANNUA DURING DIFFERENT FLOWERING STAGES
Many of the plants used to treat certain diseases because they have shown antimicrobial activity. In this case, many studies have conducted on antimicrobial activity of Artemisia annua. The crude extracts obtained from Artemisia annua L. (Asteraceae) were investigated for their antibacterial activity by using agar well diffusion assays against three bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Bacillus su...

EVALUATION OF NEPHROPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF BAUHINIA PURPUREA IN GENTAMICIN INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY IN RATS
Objective: To study the nephroprotective activity of Bauhinia purpurea unripe pods and bark against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity. Materials and Methods: Twenty four healthy adult albino rats of either sex (150-200 g) were randomly divided into four groups of six animals each. Group, I served as vehicle control and Group II as the negative control (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/d, i.p). Groups III and I...

DISPERSIBLE FORMULATION MAKEUPS FOR PEDIATRIC USE: A REVIEW
Childhood is characterized by periods of rapid growth, maturation, and development. There is a change in the magnitude of the dose required during childhood and adolescence. Thus, Paediatric practice requires a range of dosage forms that are acceptable at different ages and abilities and a range of strengths or concentrations allowing administration of the correct age-related dose. Literature show...

EVENTUAL IMMUNOLOGIAL BENEFIT OF PHOSPHODIESTERASE IV INHIBITOR (ROLIPRAM) ON THE LUNG AND LENS AFFECTION INDUCED BY SELENIUM IN RATS: A PHARMACOLOGICAL, LIGHT AND SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDY
The association between chronic bronchitis and cataract is debating. While some referred it to the corticosteroid therapy commonly prescribed to bronchitis, other named different immunological pathways that may be involved in this relationship. We tried to find out the possible immunological benefit of phosphodiesterase IV inhibition in these two common associated conditions. The rats were divided...

BIO EFFICACY OF MICHELIA CHAMPACA LINN ON MEMBRANE BOUND ENZYMES IN CCl4 INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY IN RATS
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the protective effect of flower extract of Michelia champaca on membrane bound enzyme (serum ATPase) levels on male albino rats. The membrane bound enzymes (Ca2+ ATPase, Mg2+ ATPase, Na+K+ ATPase) levels of methanolic flower extract of Michelia champaca at a dose of 300 mg/kg was evaluated during exposure to CCl4. There was a significant decrease i...
