Thermo-chemical investigation and NBO analysis of some anxileotic as Nano- drugs
Extensive quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to investigate the thermochemical properties as well as IR vibrational frequencies of different 1,4-benzodiapazine derivatives, namely, lorazepam, temazepam and oxazepam. Indeed, the obtained theoretical results clarified the interpretation of biological stabilities of these compounds. In order to evaluate and suggest the optimum method and basis set,...

Phytochemical and antimicrobial screening of the aqueous extract of Cassia arereh Del. stem-bark
The phytochemical constituents and antimicrobial properties of the aqueous extract of Cassia arereh stem-bark were evaluated. The extract was subjected to qualitative chemical screening of active chemical constituents and disc diffusion method was performed to determine the antimicrobial properties. The results revealed the presence of tannins, phlobatannins, carbohydrate, saponin, flvonoids, terpenes and...

Effect of essential oil of Chromoleana odorata (Asteraceae) from Ivory Coast, on cyclooxygenase function of prostagladin-H synthase activity
Aqueous extracts of Chromoleana odorata are commonly used in traditional medicine as anti inflammatory drug against pains or as cataplasm to stop hemorrhage in Ivory Coast. In this work, we want to test the volatiles as essential oil extracted from the fresh leaves of C. odorata, on the cyclooxygenase function of prostaglandin-H synthase (PGHS), a protein implicated in the inflammatory process. Our...

Effect of Butea monosperma (Lamk.)Taub. (Palas papra) fruit on blood glucose and lipid profiles of normal and diabetic human volunteers
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Butea monosperma(Lamk.)Taub on blood glucose and lipid profiles in normal and diabetic human volunteers. This study indicated a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in 2 h post- prandial blood glucose (mg/dl) on 21st day in the diabetic subgroups treated with 2 g (194.2 ± 27.01 vs. 172.2 ± 20.37) and 3 g (203.0 ± 19.49 vs. 165.7 ± 48.83)...

A novel pentacyclic triterpene glycoside from a resin of Commiphora glandulosa from Botswana
A novel ursane-type pentacyclic triterpene glycoside, 1b,2b,3b-trihydoxy-urs-12-ene-23-oic-rhamnoside was isolated from the resin of Commiphora glandulosaSchinz by bioassay guided fractionation. Crude aqueous and chloroform extracts of the resin as well as the isolated compound exhibited good in vitro antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis: NCTC 10073), (Clostridium...

Formulations of sustained release metformin hydrochloride tablet using combination of lipophilic waxes by melt granulation technique
Metformin hydrochloride is recommended globally as first line therapy due to its favorable profile on morbidity and mortality associated with type-2 diabetes mellitus. However, limitations of multiple dosing and risk of triggering gastrointestinal symptoms make its dose optimization difficult. The present study was designed to develop the oral sustained release metformin hydrochloride tablet formulation using lipophilic...
