The biochemical properties of metal complexes containing benzo hydrazide Schiff base have been reported by numerous researchers worldwide in various ways. In this work, the evaluation roles with activity as anti-gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, well antifungal agents, were observed. use techniques, including induced fit docking methodology, density functional theory method, pharmacokinetics investigations ADMETsar software, work has shown antibacterial examined compounds observed to...
Abstract The functional and tableting properties of native (NaFM) chemically modified (by acetylation, AcFM; oxidation, OxFM) finger millet starches were investigated. tablet formation the assessed by Heckel Kawakita analysis. swelling power solubility starch increased with increase in temperature AcFM having highest power, while OxFM had solubility. X‐ray diffractometry showed that characteristic ‘A’ pattern strong peaks at 3.78, 4.37, 4.87, 5.17 Å. Chemical modification causes rupture some...
The use of medicinal plants as an alternative mean treating various diseases has drawn the attention several researchers. desire to find lasting solutions epilepsy among humans increases every day. Thus, this work was aimed at investigating potential capacity studied phytochemicals in Alsophila spinulosa against human 4-aminobutyrate-aminotransferase well predict nonbonding interactions involved complexes. In work, ten compounds with biological activities were selected and using molecular...
In this work, the biochemical activities of seven cyclic peptides were investigated using insilico approach. The materials used in work Spartan 14 for quantum chemical analysis, molecular operating environment software docking and ADMETSAR 2.0 pharmacokinetic investigation. calculated features obtained each compound explored it was observed that molecules research have potential anti-human insulin-degrading enzyme activities. Also,...
Coir fibers native to Nigeria and their modified forms viz: acetylated coir, oxidized mercerated coir have been characterized by spectroscopic, thermal, mechanical, microscopic techniques. The CP/MAS 13C NMR spectra revealed that the modification of these did not affect cellulose type (C-1) are moderately crystalline. All can be said thermally stable until 200°C based on cumulative mass loss at 400°C promoted an increase in thermal stability order > coir. mechanical morphological properties...
Abstract Oil from the Plukenetia conophora seed, a tropical oilseed consisting mainly of linolenic acid, is polymerized via acyclic triene metathesis using different ruthenium benzylidene and indenylidene catalysts to yield highly branched functionalized polyesters. The influence synthesis conditions on structure molar mass characteristics obtained hyperbranched polyesters as well an in‐depth melt solution material property investigation are presented.
Organic pollutants in water and wastewater have been causing serious environmental problems. The arbitrary discharge of by industries, handling, use, disposal constitute a means which phenols, flame retardants (FRs), phthalates (PAEs) other toxic organic enter the ecosystem. Moreover, these are not completely removed during treatment processes might be degraded into highly derivatives, has led to their occurrence environment. Phenols, FRs PAEs thus toxic, carcinogenic mutagenic, capable...
In this study, the use of ultra-violet (UV) light with or without iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for degradation synthetic petroleum wastewater was investigated. The IONPs synthesised by sodium borohydride reduction ferric chloride solution and characterised scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), x-ray fluorescence spectrophotometry (XRF), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). amount evaluated chemical oxygen demand (COD)...
The effects of triazole and its derivatives as anti-angiotensin converting enzyme activity were investigated using combined computational approach. This work is directed at examining the studied via density functional theory molecular modeling studies in silico was executed Spartan 14 for optimization. downloaded receptor (human angiotensin-converting (PDB ID: 3NXQ)) from protein data bank by removing water molecules other small with target before subjecting it to docking calculation dynamic...
Bio-polyols are important component in polyurethane industries.The preliminary studies into the synthesis of bio-polyol products (epoxy-polyol and epoxyl-polyurethanes) from Jatropha curcas were investigated.The reactions followed by both Infrared nuclear magnetic resonance.Infrared analysis was performed on a Nicolet 380 Fouriertransform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer using NaCl cells.1 H-nuclear resonance (NMR) 13 C-NMR obtained Bruker Avance 400 NMR spectrophotometer.Approximately...
Abstract. In this study, the adsorption of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by powdered Delonix regia pods leaves was investigated using batch techniques. The effects operating conditions such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, metal ion concentration presence sodium interfering with sorption process were investigated. results obtained showed that equilibrium attained within 30 min interaction, an increase in initial adsorbate, pH dosage led to amount adsorbed. followed...
In this study, we investigated the degradation of amido black dye in an aqueous solution using ultra-violet (UV) light catalyzed by iron oxide nanoparticles (nano-Fe). The nano-Fe was synthesized sodium borohydride reduction ferric chloride and characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fluorescence spectrophotometry (XRF). SEM showed regular spherical particles, XRD examination a weak broad peak at Fe (1 1 0), XRF study that element with highest composition...
Gated decoupled 13C NMR has been employed to determine the acyl composition and positional distribution on glycerol backbone in triacylglycerols of Jatropha curcas oil. Results revealed presence saturated, oleic linoleic acids Integrals obtained from allylic carbons were used for semiquantitative analysis oil gave percentage total as 27, 41 32, respectively. The results by compared favourably with those gas chromatographic analysis. Analysis spectra further that saturated esters are randomly...
