Assay of the Antitrypanosomal Activity of Ziingiber Officinale Extract in Wister Rats
Abstract: This research investigated the antitrypanosomal effects of Zingiber officinale in rats infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Twelve adult rats, 7 weeks old and of both sexes, were randomly divided into six groups (1 through 6), with each group consisting of two rats. All six groups (1–6) were intraperitoneally injected with 0.1 ml of blood containing 10⁶ Trypanosomes/ml. Groups 1–4 received daily intraperitoneal doses of the plant extract at concentrations of …

Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Complexes Tin(II) With 4-Nitrophenol
Abstract: Tin(II)4-nitrophenoxide complexes with the formulas SnCl(OC₆H₄NO₂-4) and Sn(OC₆H₄NO₂-4)₂ were prepared through the reaction of stannous chloride (SnCl₂) with 4-nitrophenol (HOC₆H₄NO₂-4) in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios, respectively. The reaction was performed in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with diethylamine serving as the base. The resulting compounds were characterized through elemental analysis, determination of molecular weight, molar conductance measurements, and spectroscopic methods including IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Current investigations are directed toward assessing …

Role of Food Supplements in Premalignant Lesions: A Literature Review
Abstract: Premalignant lesions of the oral cavity are histopathological alterations in the oral epithelium linked to a higher likelihood of malignant transformation. These lesions frequently present as leukoplakia (white patches), erythroplakia (red patches), oral lichen planus, and oral submucous fibrosis. Oral cancer, categorized among head and neck malignancies, is considered the sixth most common cancer globally. While tobacco and alcohol consumption remain the primary etiological factors, increasing evidence underscores the significant …

Black Tea: Leveraging Human Health from Indian Perspective
Abstract: Tea, the most preferred drink in the world after water, has been under intense research in recent years due to its fascinating chemical composition. Major polyphenolic compounds— theaflavins (TF), residual catechins, thearubigins as well as theanine and caffeine—present in black tea (BT) contribute to color, distinctive flavor and play significant roles both for quality of tea and act as a safeguard against many ailments. Antioxidants present in BT act against …

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Pastoris Optimize NH4NO3 by 50 % in Solanum Lycopersicum Preventing N2O Release.
Abstract: In agriculture, the unregulated application of NH4NO3 for healthy growth of Solanum lycopersicum is associated in the soil with the denitrification of free NO3- (nitrate), with an increase in N2O, a greenhouse gas, that contributes to global warming, loss of soil fertility. An ecological option to avoid denitrification that releases N2O as other environmental problems is to inoculate S. lycopersicum seeds with endophytic yeasts that promote plant growth, such as …

In Silico Molecular Docking Studies of Phytoconstituents Identified in Curcuma zedoaria Rosc. on Acetylcholinesterase: An Enzyme Target for Anti Alzheimer’s Activity
Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic, progressive and disabling organic brain disorder characterized by disturbances of multiple cortical functions. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition is thought to be a promising approach towards the treatment of AD. The aim and objective of the present study is to perform in-silico docking analysis of the major active constituents identified in Curcuma zedoaria Rosc. against AChE for anti-Alzheimer’s activity. In this perspective, phytoconstituents like bisdemethoxy curcumin, …
