A bird is often subjected to dysbacteriosis with a low quality of feed. As a result, live weight gain and livability are reduced in broilers. This problem has become particularly acute now when most countries have abandoned the use of feed antibiotics. Significant assistance in this situation is provided by new regulators of intestinal biosynthesis – probiotics. In our research, we used biosporin produced by the Military and Technical Problems Centre of the Research Institute of Microbiology of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Scientific and household experience was conducted on the basis of ZAO “Ural broiler”. Three groups were formed: one control group and two experimental ones. There were 100 units in each group. The results of scientific and household experience lead to the conclusion that biostim is more preferable with the comparative use of two liquid probiotic products from the point of view of production figures. Feeding it to a bird in accordance with the instruction allows increasing the live weight of broiler chickens by 11.5%, reducing the...

A series of hydrazide-hydrazones (3a-o) have been synthesized by the reaction of acid hydrazide (2) which is obtained from 4-carbomethoxy-2-aminophenol with aromatic acid through multi-steps. The bioactivities of the final compounds were tested with MES and scPTZ methods. The CNS toxicity was studied by the rotarod experiment. Based on the results, compounds 3d and 3o were found to be most active at 30 mgkg-1 in the MES test with prolonged duration of action; they exhibited activity comparable to standard drugs phenytoin and carbamazepine. Compounds 3f, 3j and 3m exposed toxicity (300 mgkg-1) at 0.5 h of the time period and compounds 3i, 3n and 3o exhibited late toxicity after 4.0 h as compared to carbamazepine. The rest of the compounds did not face toxicity at a maximum dose level (300 mgkg-1). This study shows that increased lipophilicity is directly related to the anticonvulsant activity. Further studies need to be carried out on other seizure tests and models of epilepsy to ascertain the precise mechanism of action of these...

This work proposes a precise, accurate, sensitive and selective stability indicating RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous quantification of amoxicillin and enrofloxacin in bulk powder and oral suspension formulations. Chromatographic separation was performed on the reverse phase C18 analytical column using 0.1M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate–methanol (65:35, v/v) as mobile phase and with detection at 235 nm. The retention times of amoxicillin and enrofloxacin were 3.364 min and 6.604 min, respectively. The linearity ranges were found to be 38.5-115.5-10 µg/ml (for amoxicillin) and 17.5-52.50 µg/ml (for enrofloxacin). The developed method was validated following International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. All validation parameters are fulfilled by the proposed method. Amoxicillin and enrofloxacin was subjected to different stress conditions like acid, alkali, oxidation, thermal, photo, and hydrolytic degradation. Both the analytes undergo degradation in all stress conditions. Since, the method effectively separated the analytes from their degradation products, it can be used as a stability-indicating...

Dandruff is the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp, apparently caused by a fungus called Malassezia restricta and M. globosa. Malassezia formerly called Pityrosporum is a yeast causing infection of skin and scalp. Tea tree oil (TTO) is an essential oil that is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves and terminal branches of Melaleuca alternifolia (Myrtales: Myrtaceae). Tea tree oil shows promise as a topical antifungal agent, with recent clinical data indicating efficacy in the treatment of dandruff and oral candidiasis. In the present research, niosomal vesicles were selected for tea tree oil delivery because of their penetration enhancing ability. Niosomes containing tea tree oil were prepared using a thin-film hydration method. A 32 factorial design (DOE analysis) was carried out to reduce the number of experiments. Parameters contribution was determined using a 3-D response curve. Prepared optimized batch (NB7) exhibited an entrapment efficiency of 81% and percent cumulative drug diffusion of 57.56 ± 0.092%. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) revealed vesicular, spherical particles with a...

Green nanotechnology has recently emerged as an area of research involving more eco-friendly and energy-efficient approaches for the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles. The point of the present investigation is to evaluate the capacity of selected strains of freshwater Cyanobacteria (Microalgae) for their capability to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles by utilizing both live biomass of microalgae and cell-free extract by suspending in AgNO3 solution for 72 h of incubation period in both in presence of light and dark conditions. In most of the cases, silver nanoparticles were formed both in the presence of biomass as well as in the cell-free extract under continues light emission, which indicates that formation of silver nanoparticles involves an extracellular compounds. Synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was indicated by observing gradual colour change of the extract pale yellow to visible brownish-yellow. UV-Vis spectrophotometry study showed absorption maxima at 420-470 nm. The embedment and size of the synthesized silver nanoparticles...
