EVALUATION OF DIURETIC EFFECT OF LYCIUM BARBARUM LINN. (GOJI BERRY) IN RATS
Wolf berries or Goji berries (Lycium barbarum L. Solanaceae) have a long tradition as food and medicinal plant. The bark of Goji berries is generally harvested in the winter season and then dried to be used for diuretic purposes. Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the possible diuretic effects of powdered L. barbarum. The study was conducted in saline primed Wistar albino rats (n=6) using ...

A SYNERGISTIC APPROACH TO KINETIC AND MECHANISTIC STUDIES OF REGENERATION OF β-CAROTENE FROM TERT-BUTOXYL RADICAL INDUCED β-CAROTENE RADICAL CATION BY CHLOROGENIC ACID
The rates of oxidation of β-carotene and chlorogenic acid by tert-butoxyl radicals (t-BuO·) were studied by measuring the absorbance of β-carotene at 491 nm and chlorogenic acid at 328 nm spectrophotometrically. Radicals (t-BuO·) were generated by the photolysis of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) in presence of tert-butyl alcohol to scavenge OH·radicals. The rates and the quantum yields (f...

IN-SITU OPHTHALMIC GELS FOR THE TREATMENT OF EYE DISEASES
Topical administration of a drug in the conjunctival cul-de-sac is the treatment of choice for diseases of the anterior segment of eye. Development of ophthalmic drug delivery systems has always been challenging because of the drawbacks with this route, like non-productive absorption, drainage, induced lacrimation, tear turn over, impermeability of drugs to cornea. New approaches have been investi...

TWO NEW METABOLITES; 7β-OH-UZARIGENIN AND 7β-OH-ODOROSIDE-H; THROUGH BIOTRANSFORMATION OF UZARIGENIN AND ODOROSIDE-H
Two new cardenolide metabolites, 7β-OH-uzarigenin (1M) and 7β-OH-odoroside-H (2M) were obtained through the biotransformation of uzarigenin (1) and odoroside-H (2). Compounds 1 and 2 were isolated from the air-dried roots of Nerium oleander L. The plant, belonging to family Apocynaceae, was collected in October, 2010 from Mansoura university garden in Egypt. The methylene chloride extract of the...
