PHARMACOGENOMIC STUDIES OF CHOLESTERYL ESTER TRANSFER PROTEIN (CETP) GENOTYPES IN SUSPECTED CAD PATIENTS
Recent studies have attempted to identify specific genes that contribute to cardiovascular health and disease. Response to various drugs like statins differs from individual to individual, due to polymorphic variations in drug metabolizing genes related to pharmacogenomics of the diseases. The aim of this study was to find out the association of Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene polym...

SYNTHESIS AND IN- VITRO ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF SOME NEW 2, 5-DISUBSTITUTED-1, 3, 4-OXADIAZOLES CONTAINING FURAN MOIETY
A series of five membered heterocyclics was synthesized by the reaction between refluxing 2 - furoic acid with ethanol and conc. H2SO4. The obtained ester (2) with hydrazine hydrate and ethanol was refluxed to give hydrazides (3). Reaction of hydrazides (3) with different aromatic acids using phosphorousoxy trichloride (POCl3) lead to the formation of 2-Aryl -5-furyl -1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles [DM (1-...
