Preparation and Characterization of Some of Formazan Derivatives
Abstract: Some formazan derivatives were prepared through reaction of benzaldehyde-phenylhydrazone with selected diazonium salts in alkaline medium in very good yields. The hydrazone were prepared by reaction of phenylhydrazine with benzaldehyde in slightly acidic medium. The structure of the formazan derivatives were fully established by physical and spectral methods.

Characterization and Evaluation of Different Extracts from the Leaf and Bark of Mussaenda glabrata Hutch.
Abstract: β-sitosterol (1) was isolated from the crude extract of the leaf of Mussaenda glabrata Hutch. (Family: Rubiaceae). The petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol extracts of the leaf and bark were screened in vitro for cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities by brine shrimp lethality bioassay and disc diffusion method, respectively. The petroleum ether and methanol extracts of the bark showed potential cytotoxic activity (LC50: 2.51 µg/ml and 2.94 µg/ml, respectively), the petroleum …

Effect of Quercetin against MES and PTZ-Induced Convulsions in Wistar Rats
Abstract: Besides its anti-oxidative effect, quercetin has shown to exert wide range of pharmacological effects. However, there is no experimental study on antiepileptic potential of quercetin. Hence, in the current study, the possible antiepileptic effect of quercetin has been evaluated against maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and PTZ-induced convulsions. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are induced by applying current (150 mA, 0.2 s) through corneal electrodes using electroconvulsiometer. Absence seizures were induced by a …
