The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a drug class that groups together provide analgesic (pain-killing) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects, and, in higher doses, effects.The properties acts by inhibiting two recognized isoenzymes of prostaglandin G/H synthase also known as cycl-oxygenase (COX), which are COX 1 2.The pharmacodynamic action these mostly mediated inhibition COX2, while the adverse reactions largely due to COX1 inhibition..The NSAID selectively COX2 were...

Globally the taro leaf blight (Phytophthora colocasiae) disease causes between 50 to 70% yield loss. Four landraces were planted in three agroecological zones of Cameroon; Western Highlands (Bambui), Mono-Modal Humid Forest (Ekona), and Bimodal (Nkolbisson) evaluated for severity four successive growing seasons March July, 2018 2019. Different concentrations copper oxide (600 g)–Metalaxyl (120 g) fungicide applied control before during plant growth. Results showed that, all field sites,...
