Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) Agonists for the Treatment of Diabetes
Abstract: A series of novel thiazolidinedione derivatives as peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonists bearing different fatty acid esters and amides as substituents in the positions 3 and 4 of the benzylidene moiety have been designed, synthesized and tested as potential antihyperglycemic agents. The compounds containing stearic acid (A1TU, A2TU, A3TU, A2TS and A3TS) exhibited the maximum activity (64.7-70.3 % BG reduction) among all the synthesized compounds. The capric acid containing …

Isolation and Identification of Bacteria Inhabiting in the Digestive Tract of Tetrodon cutcutia Collected from the River Brahmaputra, Assam, India
Abstract: The Tetrodon cutcutia found in the river Brahmaputra were dissected and its intestinal contents were examined for the presence of bacterial strains. In situ culture of bacteria inhabiting the intestine of Tetrodon cutcutia was conducted in the media followed by biochemical analysis. A novel bacterial strain was confirmed by NCBI after 16S rRNA sequencing. Keywords: Tetrodon cutcutia, 16S rRNA sequencing, novel bacterial strainCite this ArticleJ.K. Nath, S. Khound, T.G. Devina. …
