A Review on Kaempferol Eye Drops for the Glaucoma Treatment
Abstract: One of the main causes of permanent blindness, glaucoma is defined by gradual damage to the optic nerve, mostly brought on by oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and high intraocular pressure (IOP). The investigation of herbal alternatives is necessary since current synthetic therapies, such as beta-blockers and prostaglandin analogs, frequently result in ocular discomfort, systemic toxicity, and poor patient compliance. Clitoria ternatea contains kaempferol, a bioactive flavonoid that has shown anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, …

ZnO Nanostructure Shape Effects in Photocatalysis of Methylene Blue
Abstract: Nowadays, dyes are used in the food industry, textile industry, paper industry, hair coloring, light-harvesting arrays, photoelectrochemical cells, etc. Most of the dyes are nonbiodegradable, toxic, carcinogenic, and consist of organic compounds. These dye wastages are discharged into water bodies and the environment causing serious hazards to the marine ecosystem as well as the humans extensively. To treat toxic dyes traditional methods such as adsorption, activated carbon, ultrafiltration, and reverse …

Effect of Temperature on Inhibitory Efficacy of Tamarindus indica fruit extract on acid corrosion of Aluminium
Abstract: An attempt has been made to investigate the anti-corrosive propensity of ethanolic extract of Tamarindus indica fruit at elevated temperature between 303 to 343 K, so as to replace the exploitation of toxic chemicals as corrosion inhibitors. Inhibition efficiency has been observed significantly high (84.06%) at room temperature at concentration 0.45 %. The inhibition efficiency is found to increase with increasing concentration of extract and decrease with rise in temperature. …

Arsenic Induced Oxidative Stress and Its Possible Reversal by Chelation Therapy
Abstract: Arsenic (As) is a metalloid listed in group Va of the periodic chart. It exists in nature in the oxidation states +V (arsenate), +III (arsenite), 0 (arsenic) and −III (arsine). In the aqueous environment inorganic arsenic appears commonly in the oxidation states +V and +III as arsenous acid (As (III)), arsenic acid (As (V)), and their salts. Chronic and acute exposures of arsenic leads to cancer, cardiovascular disease (hypertension and …

Antifungal Activity of Zero-valent Iron Nanoparticles Synthesized by Green Protocols Using Camellia sinensis Extract against Pathogenic Aspergillus Species
Abstract: Zero-valent iron nanoparticles with potential antifungal activity were synthesized following a green protocol using Camellia sinensis leaves extract. FeSO4.7H2O was reduced to black metallic iron by Camellia sinensis leaves extract. The green synthetic procedure without using any hazardous chemical reagents is hopeful which reduces the possibility of chemical pollution. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV/visible and fluorescence spectroscopies. The surface morphology, size, shape and particle distribution were studied using …

Concept of Stability of Drugs in Unani Perspective
Abstract: Stability of a pharmaceutical product can be defined as the capability of a particular formulation, in a specific container closure system to remain within its physical, chemical, microbiological, therapeutic and toxicological specifications. According to ancient Unani physicians shelf life of a drug is determined by organoleptic characters of the drugs i.e., external features, color, smell, taste, consistency, structure, weight, clarity, cleanliness and freshness. In classical Unani literature there is a …

Synthesis and Characterization of TiO2 1% SiO2 of Crystal and its Bacterial Applications
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 Anatase and Rutile structures have attracted much attention due to their optical properties. However, the large band gap of (3.2 eV) results in the fact that anatase TiO2 can act as photo catalyst and be excited by UV light, which only accounts for 3–5% of the solar energy. On considering that nobel metallatic nanomaterials can harvest visible light, in this paper, TiO2 and SiO2 nanocrystals with rod …
