Development and validation of Hand-held device for the rapid detection of Metformin in biological samples: A forensic application Metformin is a widely used anti-diabetic drug that enhances glycaemic control by advancing the insulin sensitivity abatement of intestinal glucose absorption. Due to its versatility, it is also emerging as an abused drug leading to toxicity and…

Nanoemulsion of Mentha piperita essential oil active against Mycobacterium strains Present investigation aimed to study the antimycobacterial potential of Mentha piperita essential oil fractions, identify its active constituents by GC-MS and preparation of nanoemulsion from biologically active fraction. Four oil fractions (R1, R2, R3, R4) were collected during hydrodistillation of Mentha piperiata leaves and tested…

Metal based bio-active 1,2,4 triazole derivatives: Preparation, spectral, thermal and antimicrobial studies We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of metal complexes of bivalent Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc and Palladium with novel Schiff base ligand 4-((4-isopropoxybenzylidene)amino)-5-propyl-4H-3-thiol-1,2,4-triazole (IBPT). The ligand (IBPT) was derived by the condensation reaction of 4-isopropoxybenzaldehyde and 4-amino-5-propyl-3-thiol-1,2,4-triazole and characterised by…

Synthesis of new regioselective imidazole-isoxazole hybrids as in vitro antibacterial agents The one-pot synthesis of some novel imidazole-isoxazole hybrids (5a-5n) and their in vitro antibacterial evaluation against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus was described herein. Among all, compounds 5f, 5g, 5i and 5j displayed greater zone of inhibition on Staphylococcus aureus than the standard streptomycin.…

Design and synthesis of new Nilutamide-1,2,3-triazole derivatives as in vitro Anticancer agents The synthesis of novel 1,2,3-triazoles of Nilutamide (4a–4n) via Cu(I)-promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between several terminal alkynes and 1-(3-azidopropyl)-5,5-dimethyl-3-(4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione have been reported herein. In vitro anticancer activity studies of these synthesized compounds over two human prostate cell lines PC3 and DU-145 revealed that…

Exploring biomarkers associated with secondary inflammation following intracerebral hemorrhage using adult Zebrafish model Intracerebral haemorrhage is the condition of bleeding inside the brain, either spontaneous or traumatic. Though this form of stroke accounts to only about 15% of the cases, the mortality rate is the highest. People with stroke associated with ICH very rarely regain…
