Nanotechnology and nanoparticle research plays an important role in the human life
in terms of technology and advancements. Herbs or plants have become vital in everyday life
activities. Nanotechnology excels not only in the field of engineering, but also various other
fields such as architecture, food, agriculture and also medicine. In the field of medicine, the
advancements of nanotechnology serves in various types of diseases including diabetes.
Diabetes is one of the major global burdens which needs more attention at the present
scenario. Various types of anti-diabetic drugs are in existence but with one or other side
effects. Nanoparticle synthesis or nano advances is one of the option to treat several diseases
including diabetes. Biological synthesis or bio-fabrication of nanoparticles from medicinal
plants play a vital role in the field of nanotechnology with biomedical applications. Herbs or
medicinal plants usually contain polyphenols and flavonoids which ameliorates the damage
in the cells with antioxidant capacity. Nanoparticles synthesized through biological methods
are potentially strong against the diseases including diabetes and also safer when compared to
the chemically synthesized nanoparticles. Insulin replacement therapies, super paramagnetic
iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONS), handheld glucometers, continuous glucose monitors
(CGMS), Glucose oxidase, glucose-binding proteins and glucose-binding small molecules,
Encapsulation of β-cells within semi-permeable polymer matrices may be the options with
the advancements of nanotechnology. Basic mechanism(s) of action related to diabetes and
management are in existence. However, the exploring the possibilities towards delving the
clear anti diabetic mechanisms of actions with the nanotechnology and nanoparticle research
would be advantageous to the pharmaceutical industries as well as mankind.

Chemical, pharmaceutical, and biological sciences are centred around the functional
molecules through SAR (structural activity relationship) and FCR (friccohesity coefficient
relationship) materialized through potential medium as solvent. SAR and FCR indicate
applicability of molecules for specific chemical activities and processes. The molecules orient
and optimize through electronic develop electrostatic dipoles (Zwitter ions, polar peptide
bonds), induced dipole with large sized atoms like iodine, pi conjugation, electrostatic
delocalization, charge alignments; atomic positions at o, m, p positions of benzene ring,
mutual protonation. These structural constituents tune and modulate the chemical,
pharmaceutical and biological activities to be rendered for specific applications. Flavonoids
like curcumine, quercetin seem efficient for releasing proton to scavenge free radical like
DPPH molecules. The above-mentioned theme develops a vacancy to elaborate the activities
of the molecules in specific medium in vitro. These activities are direct functions of structural
constituents of molecules that develop cohesive energy (surface tension), shear stress
(viscosity), surface area, dipole moment, activation energy, shear stress, interfacial tension,
and wettability. These functions develop specific interactions and act as indicators to overall
behaviour of molecules/biomolecules in specific domain. The product of cohesive forces and
shear stress or frictional force is noted as friccohesity. The physicochemical profile of
molecules is a useful database for efficient and selective activities so their quantitative
measurements are prerequisite without transferring them to different probes/instrumental
techniques. The survismeter together measures the said physicochemical properties that
prevent redox, contamination, evaporation, coagulation, and flocculation. In regard to these, a
liquid mixture is made by a mutual contribution of frictional and cohesive forces as per
interacting activities of each constituent of a molecule and their integrated profiles determine
overall molecular abilities. In the lecture the hardcore activities of few surfactants, aromatic
compounds, ionic liquids, flavonoids which are obtained using survismeter will be discussed.
Borneo, known as a biodiversity hotspot in the South East Asia, is rich with high
diversity of terrestrial and marine flora/fauna. As part of our ongoing research, we have
continually reported the diversity of secondary metabolites in plants and animals collected
from Borneo. A total of 1000 compounds were isolated and their diversity was studies
interms of chemical structure, source and geographical location. These compounds were
subjected to biological activity such as anti-inflammation and anti-cancer. Inflammation is a
powerful innate immune system defense that is an orchestrated maneuver designed to
eliminate cellular treats. Chronic inflammatory response plays an important role in cancer
development and resistance to chemotherapy. Mechanism of action responsible for
inflammatory diseases are not fully understood and there is a need to better understand their
mechanism. Molecular mediators that regulate inflammation and cancer are promising targets
for preventing and treating these diseases. In this study, we have identified novel secondary
metabolites that showed potent activities in both the assays. Compounds were isolated and
their structures elucidated based on spectroscopic data. Their inflammatory potential and
mechanism of action was evaluated using RAW 264.7 macrophages, their PGE2, TNF- , IL-
1 , IL-6, iNOS, and COX2, were evaluated. Cancer cell bioassay was concluded using HL60
and MCF 7 cell lines, with control normal cells. Apoptosis mechanism was evaluated using
Sub-G1 proportion, microscopic technique, Bax, Bcl-xl, Cleaved Capcase 3 and -actin. In
addition, we also investigated the microarray gene expression of these compounds on the
clinical cancer cells to identify the genes that were up/down regulated during this study.
Wetlands are one of the most productive aquatic ecosystems offer great scope for rich
biodiversity. It serves as nursery and breeding grounds for a large number of commercially
important food fishes. The interspace between wetlands and terrestrial region is unique as it
harbors lifeforms which are tolerant to various environmental changes. It is on the forefront
of the developmental agenda because of their ecological, socio cultural and economic
benefits. They provide direct and indirect services to mankind. The various ecosystem
services of wetlands include regulating water flows, nutrient cycling, storing water,
recharging and supplying ground water, storm protection, flood mitigation, shoreline
stabilization, erosion control, trapping of nutrients, soil formation, controlling floods and
droughts, sewage water purification through natural process of oxidation, radiation and
biological breakdown of the organic matter and water purification. Wetland assumes
significance in climate change mitigation as they serve as sink of greenhouse gases,
especially carbon di oxide through carbon sequestration. These wetlands are now under
serious threat and are degrading rapidly all over the world due to various factors.
Ethiopia is a landlocked country, and although Ethiopia is described as water tower in
Africa, the rich water resources available in the form of large, lakes, lengthy rivers, reservoirs
and small water bodies with a water expanse of about 7400km2 are now under heavy
pressure due to multiple factors. The present paper reviews the various factors that are
responsible for the degradation of such water bodies. The various aspects described in this
paper include, deforestation, soil erosion and sedimentation, urbanization and industrial
growth, wetland cultivation, grazing, unregulated resource exploitation, weed infestation and
eutrophication, exotic species introduction, encroachment and reclamation. Also the paper
suggests some measures to overcome such issues with a view to enhance the life and life
management systems of mankind.
Key words: Wetlands, water resources, wetland degradation, resource depletion, remedial
measures.
The Indian subcontinent has a vast costal belt along with the wide range of forest
environment, which host large number of un explored plant/marine species. This diversity has
been the source of unique chemical compounds with the potential for industrial development
as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, molecular probes, fine chemicals and
agrochemicals. In recent years, a significant number of novel metabolites with potent
pharmacological properties have been discovered from the natural sources including marine
and terrestrial plants. Recent move of society towards nature for the treatment of various
diseases where there is no satisfactory cure in modern medicine has diverted the attention of
natural/medicinal chemists and biologists to unravel their chemical characteristics and
biological activities together in order to define their therapeutic potential in the light of
modern pathobiological understandings. This move has led collectively to rediscover, design
and refine the therapeutic application of medicinal plants/marine sources.
During last eight years, we have studied several medicinal plants and marine
organisms guided by in vitro based bioassays to delineate the chemistry of natural products
responsible for biological activities. This effort has led to identify several potent multiple
active medicinal plants/marine sponges, their active fractions and synergistic molecular
compositions. We have identified particularly, several free radical scavengers, xanthine
oxidase and α-glucosidase inhibitory principles present in substantial yields. Presence of
multiple active phytochemicals in rich concentrations in some of the medicinal plants
therefore offers exciting opportunity for development of novel therapeutics and also provides
scientific justification for their use in traditional medicines. Therefore, biologically activity
based chemical characterization of these medicinal plants may provide scientific explanation
for their use in traditional medicines and also redesign and develop preparations for novel
therapeutic applications.

Alkali sulphate mixed phosphate glasses are considered as appropriate materials for
the immobilization of radioactive waste. These glasses exhibit unique electrolytic properties
that make them suitable for several solid-state electrochemical devices such as high
temperature solid-state sodium–sulphur batteries, high density micro-batteries, sensors, smart
card and medical appliances etc. These glasses are also ideal hosts for rare earth ions that
emit luminescence in the visible and NIR regions. In this work, we have synthesized
Li2SO4/Na2SO4 -P2O5 glasses doped with different transition metal ions (viz., Fe, Ni and Cu).
The valance states of these ions and their coordination number in the glass have been
investigated using optical absorption, EPR, IR and Raman spectroscopy. Later, ac and dc
conductivity studies have been performed on these samples. The optimal concentration of
each ion for getting maximal electrical conductivity has been identified and reported. The
conductivity and the dipolar effects mechanisms were analyzed quantitatively as functions of
valence states and the concentrations of the dopant ions. The studies were also extended to
the luminescence features of some rare earth ions viz., Sm3+, Er3+ and Ho3+ ions in the visible
and NIR regions in these glasses and we have identified suitable chemical composition of the
glasses for achieving intense visible and NIR laser emission beams.

Treatment of cancer is difficult due to invasive and recurrence nature of the cancer
cells. Surgery in most of the cases is not fully successful unless supported by Chemotherapy
which is based on highly corrosive drugs such as Taxol, DOX Doxorubicin (Dox) and
Cisplatin. long term usage of drugs, MDR problem arises. Radiotherapy uses a harmful
ionizing radiation, which has a higher risk of damage to normal tissues. Photodynamic
therapy is a form of phototherapy involving light and a photosensitizing chemical substance,
used in conjunction with molecular oxygen to elicit cell death phototoxicity. PDT has proven
ability to kill cancer cells. The idea of developing a multi-functional nanoparticle is that it is a
single nanoparticle formulation capable of delivering, targeting, diagnosing and treating the
cancer diseases. Conventional PDT limits the use of photo sensitizers absorb only uv and
visible wavelengths. They also lack water solubilities. To overcome these problems, new
photosensitizers need to be developed so that they can absorb near infra red (NIR)
wavelengths and facilitate deep tissue penetration. The near-infrared (NIR) window (also
known as optical window or therapeutic window) defines the range of wavelengths from 650
to 1350 nanometre (nm) where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue. Within
the NIR window, scattering is the most dominant light-tissue interaction, and therefore the
propagating light becomes diffused rapidly. Lipofectamine is a common transfection reagent
used to increase the transfection efficiency of RNA or plasmid DNA into in vitro cell
cultures by lipofection. Lipofectamine contains lipid subunits that can form liposomes in an
aqueous environment, which entrap the transfection payload, upon mixing with iron
encapsulated carbon nano particles Fe@CNPs HeLa (human cervical cancer cells) were fed
with these nanoparticles for 2 hrs and then washed with PBS The cells were then irradiated
with NIR Halogen lamp and then the cell viabilities were estimated using MTT assay . The
nanoparticles internalized HeLa cells were measured for subsequent Reactive oxygen species
generation (for the investigation of molecular mechanism). As a function of concentration,
the ROS levels were increased upon photo irradiation. Singlet O2 is an electronically excited
state of molecular oxygen (O2), which is less stable than triplet oxygen.The energy difference
between ground state and singlet oxygen is 94.3 kJ / mole. It is a highly important reactive
oxygen species used in photodynamic cancer treatments (PDT). In gaseous phase, singlet O2
is extremely long-lived (~ 72 min). Interaction with solvents reduces the lifetime from
microsecond to nanosecond. Singlet O2 is a very important reactive oxygen species (ROS)
involved in PDT. It directly reacts with lipid membranes to undergo lipid peroxidation and
leads to the damage of proteins and nucleic acids via Type II photo oxidative mechanism.
Conventionally many organic photosensitizers can generate singlet O2. Some of them are
clinically available. Eg: Photofrin. Conventional dyes suffer from photobleaching. Metal
NPs are more resistant to enzymatic and photodegradation problems. Metal NPs possess
ultra-high extinction coefficients than conventional dyes. The idea of developing
multifunctional nano particle that Single nanoparticle formulation capable to deliver, target
and treat diseases and is highly required for personalized medicine. phototherapy involving
light and a photosensitizing chemical substance, used in conjunction with molecular oxygen
to elicit cell death (photo-toxicity). PDT has proven ability to kill cancer cells. Lower
toxicity, biocompatibility and tunable absorption makes them as an attractive candidate for
PDT treatments.

The concept of green chemistry has appeared during a special programme launched
by the United States Environmental protection Agency (USEPA) by P. T. Anastas. The name
Green Chemistry indicates that the technology which imbedded, environmental friendly
and cost effective for the utilization of resources and minimize or even eliminate the
formation of harmful bi-products or toxic products[1]. Green chemistry is commonly
presented by a set of twelve principles. The principles comprise instructions for professional
chemists to execute new chemical compounds using environmentally benign process
technologies. The first principle describes the basic idea to protect the environmental
pollution. The remaining principles are focused on such issues as atom economy, formation
of toxic substances, solvent free media. These principles are also emphasizing the application
of renewable raw materials for synthesis of chemicals fuels using low energy consumption
[2].
important to evaluate analytical methods not only in respect for the reagent, instrumental
costs and analytical parameters but also on the basis of their negative influence on the
environment. One of the good tools for such evaluation may be Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA).
Green chemistry is a philosophical approach that through application and extension
of the principles of green chemistry can contribute to sustainable development. The future
challenges are to find a sustainable resource, more efficient and environmental benign
scientific technologies for working with chemical processes. Green chemistry addresses such
challenges by inventing novel reactions that can maximize the desired products and minimize
by-products. Many new analytical methodologies are also described which are realized
according to green chemistry rules. They are useful in conducting chemical processes and in
evaluation of their effects on the environment. Lot of efforts has to be taken to design an ideal
process that starts from non-polluting starting materials which leads to no formation of
secondary products and do not required solvents to carry out the chemical conversion or to
isolate and purify the products. More environmentally friendly technologies at the research
stage have to be implemented on an industrial scale. Besides this, the success of green
chemistry depends on the training and education of a new generation of chemists.

Inventions definitely arise when there is a necessity - in simple terms inventions are
nothing but the solutions to specific problems in the field of science and technology. There is
a progressive change in the factors contributing to global economies and as such we are in the
age of Innovations. In order to contribute towards this, one has to work out on the
possibilities of realizing the potential of research and scientific works and transform our skills
from knowledge contribution to the innovation contribution. In reference to this, as an
effective researcher one has to develop strategies for protection of inventions resulting from
pure, applied and interdisciplinary sciences and/or fields. This lecture will mainly focus on
the practical experiences leading to the way forward from basic research to innovative
outcomes.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have evolved as novel solvent systems fulfilling the requirements
of biotechnology and bioengineering. In recent years, large numbers of ILs have been
synthesized and their effect on protein stability has been illustrated. However, harsh process
conditions, such as temperature, pH, and presence of organic solvents, are the major barriers
to the effective use of enzymes in biocatalysis. We demonstrate the suitability of ILs as
potential media for enzymes, in which remarkable enhanced activity and improved stability
of proteins against multiple stresses were obtained. The catalytic activity of the enzyme in
presence of ILs was retained against several external stimulus, such as chemical denaturants
(H2O2 and GuHCl), and temperatures up to 120 °C. The observed enzyme activity is in
agreement with its structural stability, as confirmed by spectroscopic studies. Finally, it is
demonstrated that protein can be successfully recovered from the aqueous solution of ILs and
reused without compromising its yield, structural integrity and catalytic activity, thereby
overcoming the major limitations in the use of IL-protein systems in biocatalysis.

Densities (ρ), speeds of sound (u) and refractive index (nD) data for the binary
mixtures containing the ionic liquid (IL) 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl
sulfonyl)imide [Bmim][NTf2] with 4-methyl-2-pentanone over the entire range of
composition at T=(298.15 to323.15) K at atmospheric pressure are reported. From the
experimental data, the parameters like excess molar volume ( VmE ), excess isentropic
compressibilities ( Es ), deviation in speed of sound (uE), Rao’s molar sound functions (R),
deviation in refractive indices ΔnD, deviation in molar Refraction (Rm), and excess partial
molar volumes ( VmE,1 and VmE,2 ) and their limiting values at infinite dilution ( Vm0,1E and Vm0,2E ) are
calculated. Excess molar volume ( VmE ), and excess isentropic compressibilities ( K sE ) etc.,
were fitted to the Redlich - Kister polynomial equation. The experimental results are
discussed in terms of the formation of hydrogen bonds and existence of ion-dipole
interactions between components of the mixture. The formation of hydrogen bond in the
binary mixture system is confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopic studies.
A straightforward and greener approach has been developed for the synthesis of novel
aminomethylene bisphosphonates by one-pot reaction of diverse aryl/hereroaryl amines with
dialkyl phosphite and triethyl orthoformate using CuO nanoparticles as catalyst under
microwave irradiation and solvent free conditions [1-3]. This is an ecofriendly synthetic
approach for swift access to a library of diverse aminomethylene bisphosphonates. All the
synthesized new compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion
method and antioxidant activity by DPPH, H2O2 and NO methods. The title compounds
exhibited significant antioxidant and considerable antimicrobial activities.

In this study, we have prepared the biostable collagen scaffold which is crosslinked by
dialdehyde chitosan (DAC) with presence of Gallic acid (GA) and characterized its physico-
chemical, biostable and biocompatible properties. The digital photographic and scanning
electron microscopic (SEM) images of the prepared collagen scaffold is exposed well with
properly oriented interconnected porous natured structure. The appearance of diffraction
peaks showed slightly crystalline characteristic when compared to others. The differential
scanning calorimetric (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements indicates
well significantly increased denaturation temperature (TD) and decreased decomposition rate.
FT-IR result suggests the structural integrity of collagen which favours the molecular
stability. The dialdehyde groups from DAC crosslinked with collagen functional groups that
increase the molecular crosslinking owing to the large number of amino groups in its
molecular chain. This scaffold exhibited 87% resistance against collagenolytic degradation
by collagenase. The results showed that the improved biostability which prevents the free
access of the collagenase to binds with the collagen triple helical chains. This scaffold
confirm high biocompatibilities; enhanced cell proliferation and adhesions properties. This
results gains new insight into the collagen scaffold to improves the biostability. This could be
suitable method to preparation of collagenous biomaterials for tissue engineering
applications.

This paper deals with the high corrosion resistance developed by the metal matrix
composites when compared with that of matrix alloy. Metal matrix composites made up of
aluminium and aluminium alloys are getting importance due to their applications in various
fields like automobile, aircraft and marine engineering. Matrix selected is Al6061 and
reinforcement selected is TiO2 particulates, which is a insulating material. The composites are
prepared using liquid melt metallurgy technique using vortex method. Preheated but uncoated
TiO2 particulates are added to the melt. The melt is stirred well degassed by adding
degasifying tablets. Metal matrix composites containing 2, 4 and 6 weight percentage of TiO2
are prepared. Bar castings are taken and are cut into cylindrical discs of 20mm diameter and
20mm thickness. Corrosion tests are conducted at room temperature (230 C) using
conventional weight loss method according to ASTM G69-80. The corrodents used for the
tests are of hydrochloric acid. Weight loss corrosion studies are carried out in different
concentrated solutions of 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1N hydrochloric acid. Weighed specimens
dipped in corrodent solutions and are taken out at every 24 hours of interval up to 96 hours.
Corrosion rates are calculated using the formula 534DAT/W. In all concentrations of
hydrochloric acid solution, corrosion rate decreases with increase in exposure time for matrix
and metal matrix composites. As TiO2 content increases the composites become more
corrosion resistant due to insulating nature than matrix alloy. Therefore composite materials
are suitable for application in marine engineering than matrix alloy.

Thermo-physical, and excess parameters has a great impact to know the behaviour
and type of molecular interactions exist between the components of binary liquid mixtures at
different mole fractions and temperatures. Densities, viscosities and ultrasonic velocities of
binary liquid mixtures of halo-substituted carbonyl compounds with different Xylenes have
been measured over the entire composition range and at temperatures 303.15K, 308.15K,
313.15K and 318.15K. From experimental data, Excess parameters were calculated. The
obtained values were fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The parameters of
excess functions are found sensitive for the intermolecular interactions between the binary
mixtures. Theoretical values of viscosity of the binary mixtures were calculated using
empirical relations and theoretical equations.The relative merits of these relations and
theories were discussed.

In todays world medical science is more and more improving with the
blessings of latest scientific discoveries. Nanotechnology is such a field which is
changing vision of life science . New automated procedures are being discovered with
new aspects of self-guided nanorobots. Nanorobot is an excellent tool for future
medicine. We can envision each day once you could inject billions of
those nanorobots that might float around in your body. Nanorobots could carry and
deliver drugs into defected cells. These nanorobots are repair tissues, clean blood vessels
and airways, transform our physiological capabilities, and even potentially counter act
the aging process. Many scientists performing on this bright field of nanorobots

In this work, densities, speeds of sound and refractive index of pure and their binary
blends of 1- butyl -3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid (IL)
with Ethyl acetate (EtOAc) have been measured at various temperatures at atmospheric
pressure 0.1 MPa. With help of experimental results, discussed the molecular interactions and
effect of temperature on interactions through excess properties. The excess properties
adequately fitted with Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. To study the non-ideal behaviour
applied Prigogine−Flory−Patterson (PFP) theory. For more understanding and confirmation
of molecular interactions authors used FTIR study at room temperature.
energy dispersive spectra. The optical absorption spectra of VO2+ doped Cd3(BO3)2
nanocomposites indicated the metal ion is surrounded by a distorted octahedron of oxygen
ligands. The crystal field Dq and inter electronic repulsion parameters B and C are evaluated.
The evaluated Dq value also suggests a Octahedral coordination with tetragonal compression
of VO2+ ions with the ligand (host). Photo luminescence (PL) spectra of these
nanocomposites exhibited clearly that doping of VO2+ in the host matrix lead to significant
changes in PL intensity. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) revealed that ∆║/∆┴ ratio is
greater than unity and it confirms that the VO2+ions are tetragonally distorted octahedral,
which can be attributed to Vinadyl into host lattice at octahedral environment of oxygen with
tetragonal distortion (C4v). FT-IR spectra for both pure and doped Cd3(BO3)2 demonstrated
the characteristic vibrations of cadmium borate. The obtained response from structural,
optical and EPR studies of the prepared nanocomposites are promising for the applications in
optoelectronic devices.
Cancer is a most significant malignant disease and second leading cause of death in
developed countries after heart disease. It is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell
growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Now a day’s three
types of cancer treatments are available such as chemotherapy, surgical removal and radiation
therapy. Among these, chemotherapy is the most important and efficient for the treatment of
cancer.
Methods: Anticancer activities of all synthesized derivatives were determined by MTT assay
method.
Results: Among them, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10g, 10h and 10i compounds showed more potent

Kolleru, which is one of the largest and shallow fresh water lakes in India located on
the deltas of Godavari and Krishna rivers in the state of Andhra Pradesh (16º 15´ and 16º 30´
N and 81º 00´ and 81º 25´ E). It is a wetland of international importance recognized under
Ramsar Covention, Iran (1971) that covers an area of 308 km2 [1]. It receives about 6.5 to
1.1 M cusecs of water from catchments. It has number of streams that open into it like,
Tammileru, Budameru, Ramileru, etc., but only outlet is Upputeru which connects the lake to
Bay of Bengal. Assessment of Monthly and seasonal changes in surface water quality is a
vital aspect for evaluating earthly variation of water Quality level due to natural inputs of
point and non-point sources.. In this study, the physico-chemical parameter of water such as
Temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical
Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Dissolved Solids (TSS), Hardness, Alkalinity, Conductivity,
Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride and Turbidity are considered for analysis during the period of
June 2018 to July 2019 both season and month wise [2]. Water samples were collected from
ten sampling stations of lake and analysed by using AAS & ICP-OES Spectrometers. For
calculating the Water Quality Index (WQI) and analysis of variations of Water Quality Index
parameters we have taken average value of the parameters [3]. All the calculated
concentrations of water quality parameters in studied sampling sites showed variations. The
WQI plays significant role as a basis for environmental assessment and the value of these
samples ranges from 1-1000 which shows that water in all the sites are not within the suitable
mark for drinking. The analysis of Physico-chemical parameters indicates that the water in
the study area was polluted mostly by Aqua cultural inputs, industrial inputs, agricultural
wastes and domestic sewage from neighbouring villages which results in high concentration
of Nitrogen and Phosphorus [4]. Thus proper treatment is highly needed to conserve its water
body from future foulness, impurity and surrounding pollutions.

A new stability – indicating RP- HPLC method was developed for the determination
of retigabine in oral dosage form, using a ODS, C1s RP-Column (Make:250mmx 4.6 mm I.D:
particle size 5µm) and a mobile phase composed of phosphate buffer (PH -3.8) and
acetonitrile in the ratio of 55:45 %v/v at a flow rate of 1.0ml/min. The retention time of
retigabine was found to be 2.741 minutes, respectively. Retigabine was subjected to acid and
base hydrolysis, oxidation and photolytic degradation conditions and the degradation
products of retigabine were well resolved from the pure drug. This method can be
successfully employed for the quantitave analysis of retigabine in various formulations

The Nanoparticles, exhibit improved characteristics due to their size, distribution and
morphology and are widely used in numerous scientific fields [1]. Due to their
physiochemical and antimicrobial properties silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are very important,
which help in therapies, molecular diagnostics and in devices used for medical procedures. A
major drawback of the chemical synthesis is that it involves the use of hazardous chemicals
and toxic by-products are obtained. Therefore, there is a constant need for economic and eco-
friendly methods to synthesize them and the use of aqueous or alcoholic plant extracts is
rapidly expanding and gaining importance [2]. Gomphrena serrata belongs to Amaranthaceae
family. The different parts of this plant are traditionally claimed to be used for the treatment
of broad spectrum of ailment including baby gripe, oligouria, body sore, malaria, bacterial
infections, jaundice, urinary problems, high cholesterol, cough, fever, diarrhea, liver
disorders, kidney disorders and cooling. A green synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been
done by using aqueous leaf extract of Gomphrena serrata [3]. The Synthesised silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) were characterized with UV-Vis-spectroscopy, Fourier transform
infrared (FTIR) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and it showed the
topology and size of the Ag-NPs, and X-ray diffraction studies. The screening of the silver
nanoparticles showed that it possess antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

Bioanalytical methods employed for the quantitative determination of drugs and their
metabolites in biological matrix (plasma, urine, saliva, serum etc) play a significant role in
evaluation and interpretation of bioavailability, bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic data.
The present study is concerned with the development and validation of in vivo study of
Venetoclax in human plasma by high performance liquid chromatography /mass spectrometry
(LC/MS). Venetoclax is a BCL-2 inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic
lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), with or without 17p
deletion, who have received at least one prior therapy. Sample preparation involves the
extraction of Venetoclax and internal standard Valsartan with liquid-liquid extraction
method by using methanol and water as an organic solvent. Chromatography was performed
on Prontosil ODS C18 column (4.6mm× 250 mm, 5 μm) under isocratic elution with mobile
phase of methanol and phosphate buffer (35:65 V/V). The mass spectra was taken in ESI
(Turbo Ion Spray) positive mode in mass range of 40–1000amu and analyzed in the
quadrupole analyzer with MS tune of 3.0 kV (capillary), 40V cone, 3V extractor and Source
temperature at 300oC. The method was found linear over the concentration range of 200ng to
10 μg/mL. The proposed method was validated for recovery, precision and lower limit of
quantification. Stability of compounds was established in a series of stability studies. The
validation results prove that accurate, specific and simple LC-MS method for estimation of
Venetoclax in plasma, using Valsartan as an internal standard. The method envisages that its
application to different biological matrices will facilitate deeper understanding and
demonstrated in the bioequivalence study.
Cancer one of the major issues globally and characterized by uncontrolled cell
proliferation. Hence, there is a necessity to develop target based anticancer agents. In this
study, we have synthesized pyridine-piperazine derivatives and evaluated their eIF3a
potentials using computational studies. Human eukaryotic Initiation Factor 3 (eIF3) is a
protein that consists of 13 non-identical subunits that help in the cap-dependent and cap-
independent translation initiation and also prevent premature association of the 40S and 60S
ribosomal subunits. eIF3a is the vast subunit of an eIF3 complex which is up-regulated in
many cancers like cervix, breast, lung, oesophagus, and stomach and is essential for cancer
growth and maintenance. Hence, the eIF3a could be regarded as molecular target for the
treatment of cancer. In computational and molecular dynamics simulations clearly indicated
that the synthesized molecules established critical interactions with protein. Therefore, these
derivatives would be the potential leads of eIF3a inhibitors.
oxidizing agent in acid medium with redox potential 1.60V2 and in basic medium with
redox potential 0.70V3. Kinetics of oxidation of L-citrulline (Cit) by periodate ion in both
acidic and basic media has been investigated spectrophtometrically at constant ionic
strengths and at 30°C. In both media the reactions exhibited first order dependence in
[periodate] and fractional order dependences in L-citrulline concentration. A fractional-
second order dependence with respect to [H+] and a fractional-first order dependence with
respect to [OH-] were revealed in acidic and basic media, respectively. Increasing ionic
strength in basic medium increased the oxidation rate of L-citrulline, whereas it had a
negligible effect on the oxidation rate in acidic medium. The rate-determining step in both
media is suggested to involve a one-electron change. The proposed oxidation mechanisms
involve formation of 1:1 intermediate complexes between kinetically active species of
both L-citrulline and periodate ion in pre-equilibrium steps. The final oxidation products
of L-citrulline were identified in both acidic and basic media as the corresponding
aldehyde (4-(carbamoylamino) butyraldehyde), ammonia and carbon dioxide. The
appropriate rate laws are deduced. The activation parameters of the rate determining step are
computed using the linear least squares method.

nitrogen oxides. A substance in the air that can be adverse to humans and the environment is
known as an air pollutant. Pollutants can be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or
gases. In addition, they may be natural or man-made. Pollutants can be classified as primary
or secondary. Usually primary pollutants are directly produced from a process, such as ash
from a volcanic eruption, the carbon monoxide gas from a motor vehicle exhaust or sulphur
dioxide released from factories. Secondary pollutants are not emitted directly. Carbon
monoxide (CO)- is a colourless, odourless ,non-irritating but very poisonous gas. It is a
product by incomplete combustion of fuel such as natural gas, coal or wood. Vehicular
exhaust is a major source of carbon monoxide. Methane is an extremely efficient greenhouse
gas which contributes to enhanced global warming.
The water pollution is attributed mainly to the presence of toxic metals (cadmium,
copper, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc, arsenic, chromium and aluminum), nutrients (phosphate,
nitrite, nitrate and ammonia), fluoride, organic dyes, cyanide, algae, viruses, bacteria,
parasites and antibiotics. The use of contaminated water sources contributes to the
transmission of water-borne diseases, including cholera, typhoid, diarrhoea,
Methaeglobinemia, fluorosis, hepatitis, trachoma, Parkinson and Alzheimer’s disease,
Minamata disease, etc. Hence, it is necessary to purge the waters. The nanoparticles play a
significant role in almost all the fields like biology, physics, chemistry, material science,
space industries, agriculture, environmental pollution, a variety of applications in the areas of
medicine, efficient and safe drug delivery mechanisms with less side effects, diagnosis and
treatment of various diseases (1). Nanoparticles synthesized by chemical methods have
unacceptable applications in all the fields because of the presence of toxic chemical
substances on the surface of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the cost effective, simple and eco-
friendly nature of green nanoparticles makes more attention on them. The different parts of
plant such as stem, root, fruit, seed, peel, leaves and flower are used to syntheses of metallic
nanoparticles in various shapes and sizes by biological approaches (2).Plant crude extract
contains several biomolecules such as enzymes, proteins, amino acids, phenolic acid,
vitamins, polysaccharides, citrates, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, ketones, aldehydes,
amides and carboxylic acids etc and these compounds are mainly responsible for the
reduction of ionic into bulk metallic nanoparticles formation (3).
Green nanoparticles synthesized by using plant extracts are attracting the researchers in
the removal of health hazardous toxic pollutants present in surface and ground waters.
Different metallic nanoparticles prepared by using flora origin are effectively used to remove
organic and inorganic pollutants. The green synthesized nanoparticles are used in the
degradation of organic dyes, for the removal of inorganic solutes, toxic metal ions, natural
organic matter, complex organic compounds and other pollutants present in surface water,
ground water, and/or industrial waste water (5).
In the binary mixtures of Allyl alcohol (2-propen-1-ol) with various functional groups
(3-methyl aniline, 4-methoxy benzyl alcohol, 4-hydroxy benzoic acid and isobutyric acid) the
densities, and speeds of sound including those of pure liquids, were measured over the entire
composition range at different temperatures (303.15, 30.18 and 313.15) K and atmospheric
pressure 0.1MPa. Using this experimentally determined data, the excess values of molar
volume, isentropic compressibility, partial molar volumes and partial molar isentropic
compressibilities these components at infinite dilution were calculated. . The FT-IR data
indicate that the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between hydrogen atom of
allyl alcohol and high electronegaivity of atoms various functional groups of non-component
molecules in the binary liquid mixtures. An analysis of each of the three contributions viz.
interactional, free volume and P* to VE shows that interactional contribution is positive for all
binary systems. The free volume effect and P* contribution are negative for all the mixtures

The densities (ρ), viscosities () and speeds of sound (u) are reported for binary
mixtures of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl propyl ketone
(MPK), diethyl ketone (DEK) and 2,6-dimethyl cyclohexanone (CH) over the entire
composition range from 303.15 K to 318.15 K and at atmospheric pressure 0.1 MPa. The
excess / deviation functions (VE, κsE and ) are calculated from the densities, speeds of
sound and viscosities at experimental temperatures. The variation of these properties with
composition of the mixtures suggests hydrogen bond, dipole–dipole interactions and charge-
transfer complex formation between 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and dipolar ketones. The VE results
have been analyzed in the light of Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory. An analysis of each of
the three contributions viz. interactional, free volume and P* to VE shows that interactional
contribution is positive for all binary systems. The free volume effect and P* contribution are
negative for all the mixtures.

Metal-oxide based catalytic systems were extensively investigated and reported for their
water-oxidation catalysis (WOC) properties.(1) Non-oxide catalysts, however, attracted
significant interest over the past few years. We have investigated a variety of non-oxide
catalysts including hexacyanometalates, pentacyanometalate derivatives, and other cyanide
ligand based catalysts for their WOC abilities.(2,3) Cobalt-based pentacyanoferrate and
dicyanamides were investigated previously for their WOC efficiencies. The focus of the
current research is to investigate the effect of the CN- ligand as bridging group between metal
ions, their influence on the catalytic activity, and surface concentration of the Co+2 ions.

In this research work, the synthesis was aimed at the development of complex
nanocomposites, these materials were achieved through the chemical double co-precipitation
technique[1]. The materials were characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD),
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Selected
Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), EDAX and Elemental mapping techniques. The
developed nanocomposites were further evaluated by vibrating sample magnetometer at room
temperature. Also, the nanocomposites were subjected to antimicrobial studies, catalytic
reduction of paranitroaniline, and dielectric studies by LCR meter. For silica coated samples
minimum inhibitory concentrations indicated that better antibacterial activity due to is porous
surface. For tin coated grapheme based samples exhibited better catalytic activity [2] and
dielectric nature [3] due to the availability of high surface area and comparatively better
dispersion on the GO surface which can be observed from the TEM images. However, this
type of GO based nanocomposites may find potential applications in water treatment
technologies due to the hydrophilic graphene oxide surface and they may also find potential
applications in microwave absorbing properties as well as in biological systems.

Fly ash is a major waste material generated due to the combustion of coal in power
producing plants. The composition of fly ash very considerably, depending upon the source
and make up of coal being burnt, however all fly ash contain substantial amount of silicon
oxide (SiO2,) Calcium oxide (CaO), aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and iron oxide (Fe2O3). As the
fly ash material solidifies while suspended in the exhaust gases, the particles of fly ash are
generally spherical in shape and ranges in size from 0.5m to 100m. The fineness of the fly
ash particles and the inherent large surface area (1-6m2g-1), together with the unburnt carbon
make it a good candidate for utilization as an inexpensive adsorbent7.
A Lanthanum (III) treated fly ash has been developed for the removal of fluoride from
drinking water by adsorption. The removal of F” by adsorption on La (III) treated flyash was
found more than 80% at neutral pH,, (F”) 20 ppm, adsorbent dose 2 g per litre, contact time
30 min and temperature 30 + 20C. An improved adsorption was find in the pH range 5.2 to
7.30 and the optimum pH for adsorption was found 50. The fluoride ions are mainly removed
by ion exchange process with surface hydroxyls however the mechanism of adsorption
appear to be complex. The data fitted well in Freaundlich adsorption is a therm. The values of
adsorption constants K and 1/n were found as 0.29 and 0.64 respectively.
A simple, sensitive and accurate method through reverse phase high performance
liquid chromatography was developed for determination of Ranozalinein in pharmaceutical
formulations. Excellent separations were achieved on a Thermo Hypersil-BDS C-18,
250x4.6mm column with particle size of 5µm. A suitable mobile phase of a mixture of buffer
and acetonitrile in the ratio of 50:50 v/v used. The flow rate of mobile phase was 1.0 mL/min.
and the total elution was for 9 min. The UV-detector wavelength was at 220 nm and the
temperature was maintained at 32oC. Method of determination was validated in terms of
system suitability, specificity, accuracy, precision and robustness for quantification of
ranozaline following the ICH-guidelines.
Industrialization and Urbanization has lead to the use of heavy metal ions like
Mercury, Lead, and Cadmium, these are released as effluent and enter in aquatic systems
from which it enter into the food chain and start accumulating in human body.
Spectrophotometric method is found to be simple, cost effective method but with moderate
sensitivity. Dithizone is a standard and extensively used chromogenic reagent in estimating
Mercury ions. In this work, p-methoxy aniline was diazotized and reduced to obtain p-
methoxy phenyl hydrazine further condensing with CS2 and KOH to obtain compound (4).
Similarly p-methoxy phenyl hydrazine was reacted with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylisothi
ocyanate and p-methoxyphenylisothiocyanate followed by oxidation using N-
BromoSuccinimide to obtain compound(7 &10). The synthesised compound was used as
ligand for the estimation of Hg+2 using colorimeter and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. We
didn’t observed any prominent colour or change in UV absorbance with respect to the blank
solution. Further modification in the structure of ligands and experimental parameters are to
be conducted in order to study the complexation behaviour of Mercury with synthesized
ligands.
A novel, efficient and selective route for the synthesis of various substituted
2- halo arylcyanamides via C-H functionalization of arylcyanamides using a cheap, air stable
and readily available copper source as catalyst is achieved. The present method involves a
selective ortho halogenation strategy. Moreover, the reaction mechanism has also been
investigated. The reported protocol is simple, general with excellent substrate tolerance in
good to high yields thus paving an efficient and useful way to establish a library of 2- halo
arylcyanamides.

In modern years, chemists have tended to plan and synthesis metal-organic frameworks,
which are undergoing accelerated and continuous growth because of their fascinating
structures, and potential applications, such as molecular adsorption, catalysis,gas storage,
multifunctional materials, and chemical separation 2-picolinic acid is not only a potential
proton acceptor but also proton donor depending on deprotonated groups [1-2]. To the best
of our understanding the Pyridine,2-carboxaldehyde into 2-picolinic acid (scheme 1). Lattice
water molecules from the metal salt are trapped in the Cu-picolinate network lattice forming a
1-D water chain and playing a major role in formation of the H-bonded coordination network.
In this crystal engineering of copper picolinate complex formed by in situ oxidation of
pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde with copper (II) perchlorite is discussed. The carboxylates ions
not only take part in coordination to metal but also provide hydrogen bond acceptor sites for
lattice water. The synthesis, single-crystal X-ray structure, FTIR, luminescence and Biology
of a new Cu (II)-picolinate coordination complex is reported.

The emergence of new infectious diseases, the resurgence of several infections that
appeared to have been controlled and the increase in bacterial resistance have created the
necessity for studies directed towards the development of new antimicrobials[1-2].
Considering the failure to acquire new molecules with antimicrobial properties from
microorganisms, the optimization for screening methods used for the identification of
antimicrobials from other natural sources is of great importance. This study was carried out
with an objective to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal activity of aryl cyanamides
and aryl tetrazoleamines. The aim of the study is to assess the antimicrobial activity and to
determine the zone of inhibition of extracts on some bacterial and fungal strains. In the
present study, the microbial activity of aryl cyanamides and aryl tetrazoleamines was
evaluated for potential antimicrobial activity against medically important bacterial and fungal
strains. The antimicrobial activity was determined in the extracts using filter paper disc
diffusion plate method [3] The antibacterial and antifungal activities of extracts (40 μg/ml) of
aryl cyanamides and aryl tetrazoleamines were tested against Bacillus cereus (MTCC 430),
Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 3160), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424),and
Escherichia Coli (MTCC 40) Zone of inhibition of extracts were compared with that of
different standards like ampicillin, and norfloxacin, for antibacterial activity and griseofulvin
for antifungal activity. The results showed that the remarkable inhibition of the bacterial
growth was shown against the tested organisms.

An accurate, rapid economical and simple, reliable method was developed and
validated for the simultaneous estimation of Netarsudil and Latanoprost using RP-HPLC. In
the proposed method efficient chromatographic separation was achieved using X-Bridge
Phenyl column (150x4.6mm, 3.5μm) as a stationary phase and acetonitrile: buffer (30:70v/v,
2.5g of Octane-1-Sulphonic acid in 1lt of water adjust pH-2.5 with Ortho Phosphoric Acid) as
a mobile phase with a flow rate of 1ml/min and UV detection at 228nm. Chromatography
was carried out isocratically at ambient temperature and the run time was approximately
10min. In this method a good linearity was observed in the range of 0.0063-0.0938μg/ml and
0.0013-0.0188μg/ml with the limit of detection (s/n=7, 4) respectively. The proposed method
was validated as per ICH guidelines.
The present study deals with effect of pH,copper sulphate and vitamin E on in vitro
germination of black gram and bengal gram. At pH range of 2.5 to 12 the seeds are
germinated .Highest seed germination is observed at pH 8.0. Poor germination is observed at
pH 2.5 and 1.2. The increase in concentration of copper sulphate retarded the germination
rate .But with the addition of vitamin E ,enhanced seed germination is observed.This
investigation confirms that it is preferable to choose pesticides without copper in their
composition and presoaking of these seeds in vitaminE solution increases the seed
germination rate.

extend overall carbohydrate digestion time, causing a decrease in the rate of glucose
absorption and, therefore, reducing the postprandial plasma glucose rise. Heterocyclic
compounds are the basis in anti-diabetic treatment for many years. Thiazolidinediones are
well known for causing reduction in blood glucose levels. A number of thiazolidinediones
have been approved for clinical use in diabetes. However many TZD based drugs are proved
to be oral antidiabetic drugs, hepatotoxicity is one of the serious side effects of these drugs.
Hence there is a need of novel drug with better safety profile.[2] On the basis of previous
literature and present want of developments on the synthesis of novel anti-diabetic drugs and
in extension of our studies to develop new anti-diabetic agents; we have synthesized some
new TZD derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR (1H
and 13C), IR spectra. In vitro anti-diabetic activity of synthesized compounds was examined
by standard α-amylase inhibition assay. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited good
activity when compared with the standard drug.

Drugs derived from naturally occurring herbal plants are serving to treat several
diseases to the mankind from several centuries. In this paper we are describing about the
isolation of active secondary metabolites from the plant Cordia dichotoma (Boraginaceae).
This plant was found to have several active compounds (1), and this plant is being used in
traditional medicine (2). The leaves of C.dichotoma reported to have anti-oxidant (3) and
contraceptive properties (4). We have isolated four compounds from this plant by using
sequential extraction, purified by column chromatography, crystallization and preparatory
HPLC. The spectrometric identification of these compounds is described in this present
paper. The isolated compounds are first time report from the bark of C.dichotoma.
Plant sterols or phytosterols are naturally occurring molecules with steroid nucleus in
several plants and can regulate many biological processes. Phytosterols are structurally
similar to cholesterol with 28 or 29 carbon atoms but differ in carbon side chain with or
without a double bond and shows various health benefits especially cholesterol lowering
effects. The phytosterols are chemically modified at 3rd position to synthesize various
cinnamyl esters and their in-vivo anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using
carrageenan-induced paw edema model. The resultant compounds have shown significant
inhibition of paw edema when compared to standard drug indomethacin and can be
developed as potent anti-inflammatory agents.
Schiff bases are common ligands in coordination chemistry. The imine nitrogen is
basic and exhibits pi-acceptor properties. The ligands are typically derived from alkSchiff
bases are active against a wide range of organisms since they play an important role in living
organisms, such as decarboxylation, transamination and C-C bond cleavage which are
important in the biosynthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters and pigments. Various industry
areas such as in food industry, dye industry, analytical chemistry, catalysis, fungicidal,
agrochemical and biological activities. In azomethine derivatives, the C=N linkage is
essential for biological activity, several azomethines were reported to possess remarkable
antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and diuretic activities Barboiu et al (1996).Antibacterial
Activities Schiff base derived from indoline-2, 3-dione and 2- aminobenzoic acid and its Tin
complex showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. This activity might be
due to the presence of a hydroxyl and phenyl group Salvat et al., (2001). The increased
activity in the organo tin complexes may be due to the coordination and polarity of a tin (IV)
atom with oxygen of the ligand. Amino acid Schiff base derived from 2- hydroxy-5-
methylacetophenone and glycine and its transition metal complexes showed bacterial
activities. The ligand was bacteriostatic against bacterial strains except Proteus vulgaris,
Shigella flexneri, and Bacillus coagulans. All complexes are either resistant or less sensitive
against P.vulgaris. Canpolat et al, (2004).The microbial activity of the N-(2-hydroxy-1-
naphthalidene) phenylglycine and its transition metal complexes has antifungal activity of
the ligand has ncreased upon complexation. Cu(II), Ni(II) Semicarbazones and
thiosemicarbazones complexes of Ni(II) metal showed antifungal activities against 11
pathogenic fungi. Sulekh Chandra, L.K.Gupta (2005). Antitumor and Cytotoxic Activities
Metal complexes of Schiff base derived from 2- thiophenecarboxaldehyde and 2-
aminobenzoic acid (HL) have been recommended and/ or established a new line for search to
new antitumor particularly. A tridentate Schiff basederived from the condensation of S-
benzyldithiocarbazate with salicyldehyde and its Zn, Sb, Cu complexes showed cytotoxic
properties Tarafder, (2000). Copper(II) complexes containing Schiff bases derived from S-
benzyldthiocarbazate and saccharinate showed anticancer properties. Antiviral Activities for
Schiff bases of gossypol show high antiviral activity. The main characteristic of an
antioxidant is its ability to trap free radicals. Research evidences suggests that antioxidants
reduce the risk for chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease. Literature shows that
the study of antioxidant property of Schiff base metal complexes (Demir, et al., 2015) has
been increased recently. To study the antioxidant potential through free radical scavenging by
the metal complexes, the change in optical density of DPPH radical were monitored. Schiff
bases have been receiving significant attention as one of the promising immobilization
alternatives for biopolymer biosensors and in biosciences.
Nuclear chemistry is the sub-field of chemistry dealing with radio activity, nuclear
processes and transformations in the nuclei of atoms such as nuclear transmutation and
nuclear properties. It includes the study of the production and use of radioactive sources for a
range of processes. Nuclear chemists work with various isotopic forms of elements to study
fission and fusion processes, or they develop into the effects of ionizing radiation on
materials, living organisms (including people), and the environment. Nuclear medicine is a
specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or
radiopharmaceuticals, to examine organ function and structure. Nuclear medicine imaging is
a combination of many different disciplines. These include chemistry, physics, mathematics,
computer technology, and medicine. This branch of radiology is often used to help diagnose
and treat abnormalities very early in the progression of a disease, such as thyroid cancer. A
tiny amount of a radioactive substance is used during the procedure to assist in the exam. The
radioactive substance, called a radionuclide (radiopharmaceutical or radioactive tracer), is
absorbed by body tissue. Several different types of radionuclides are available. These include
forms of the elements technetium, thallium, gallium, iodine, and xenon. The type of
radionuclide used will depend on the type of study and the body part being studied. The
different scans present to diagnose the diseased conditions of different body parts are Renal
scans, Thyroid scans, Bone scans, Gallium scans, and Heart scans, Brain scans, Breast
scans.They greatly improve the day to day quality of our lives. Nuclear methods in chemical

superparamagnetism. These particles may have magnetic cores with a polymer or metal
coating which can be functionalized, or may consist of porous polymers that contain
magnetic nanoparticles precipitated within the pores. By functionalizing the polymer or metal
coating it is possible to attach, for example, cytotoxic drugs for targeted chemotherapy or
therapeutic DNA to correct a genetic defect. Surface-modified compounds are available,
including polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylenimine (PEI), folic acid (FA), liposome,
noble metal, and inorganic materials. Surface modification can enhance the water solubility,
biocompatibility, and stability of NPs; they thus can be served as vectors for drug delivery,
gene transfer, MRI, and thermotherapy (Ting Guo, et al, 2018).The application of nanoprobe
in MRI is one of research hotspots in molecular imaging field. After NPs coupled with
ligands or antibodies enter the human body, they may be bound with the specific receptors or
antibodies of tumor cells and thus be phagocytosed by tumor cells or bind onto the tumor cell
surface, resulting in NPs aggregating in tumor tissues. Research on magnetic nanoparticles
as vectors for studying gene therapy as a treatment into the target gene of subject. It is
another novel treatment for tumor after traditional surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy
(Fu et al., 2012). With the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the research and
application of magnetic NPs have made considerable progress in the biomedical field. For
example, magnetic NPs have been extensively applied in biomolecule vectors, targeted
localization, MRI, and thermotherapy. However, most studies remain at the laboratory
research stage, and these advances must be reachable to the mankind to combat the disease
progression.

composite was thoroughly characterized using UV-Visible, FT-IR, XRD, Raman and
HRTEM spectroscopic techniques. 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in aqueous media is difficult to be
bio-degraded or self-cleaned, which causes a potential toxic threat to amphibians and aquatic
lives, even to human beings. So we envisaged the reduction of 4-NP with RGO-Ag
nanocomposite. In a typical catalytic reaction, aqueous solution of 4-NP and NaBH4 solution
was purged with nitrogen for 10 min to remove the dissolved oxygen. Then aqueous Ag-
RGO suspension was added to the reaction mixture and immediately transferred the contents
to a standard quartz cell and the UV-Visible absorption spectra were recorded with a time
interval of 120 s in scanning range of 200-700 nm at ambient temperature. The results
showed that the absorption peak of 4-NP at 400 nm was gradually reduced its intensity and a
new peak of 4-AP at 320 nm was gradually increased during the course of reduction reaction.
A highly reactive and simple LC-MS/MS assay was developed for the series of
changes in Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk using rat plasma. A mobile phase of 0.1%
Formic acid and Acetonitrile in the ratio of 70:30 was used and a positive mode of
electrospray ionization detection was carried out using MS. An isocratic mode using Waters
Symmetry C18 (150x4.6mm, 3.5μm) column was used. The method was validated with a
linear range 1.2-24ng/ml of Trastuzumab and 0.06-1.2ng/ml of Hyaluronidase-oysk. The
%CV values of intraday, interday precision and accuracy were found to be within the
acceptance criteria. The %recovery of Trastuzumab was 99.5% and Hyaluronidase-oysk was
98.6% respectively. Using liquid liquid extraction, both the drugs were extracted from rat
plasma. From freeze thaw, auto sampler, bench top and long term stability studies, we found
that the drugs were stable throughout the stability studies. According to United States Food
and Drug administration guidelines, the Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
method was validated successfully. The pharmacokinetic research of Trastuzumab and
Hyaluronidase-oysk in rat plasma was utilized successfully using LCMS/MS.

In the present days the technology is growing rapidly. The technologies like Artificial
intelligence (AI), Machine learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) bought the society
closer. These technologies have changed our life styles and automated many things. If
chemical industries would like to stay competitive in a changing world, they need to rapidly
transform their digital technologies with innovative technologies. This abstract discusses on
challenges faced by Chemical industries in India and providing solutions to these challenges
through the digitalization approaches. In our country, Chemical industries are facing
challenges like the instability of grist costs, currency rate of exchange, and charges undergoes
to make a dynamic situation in the chemical industry. If the manufacturer is not flexible that
definitely effects the business margins. Novelty is a key pole of competitiveness. The
requirements of the consumers are changing and the products need to change based on these
requirements. In the conventional model of marketing, chemical companies maintain straight
associations with their consumers. But now a days consumers are looking for the right
products and sellers online. Chemical industries that are not in close communication with
their consumers may miss the important information regarding the consumer profiling and,
ultimately, may lose these consumers. Companies have constantly used mergers and
acquisitions (M&A) to raise, develop their strategic direction and merge the divisions in
which they operate. These unifications increases the complexity of execution. In the process
of digitalization, the recent technologies like AI, ML and IoT could solve many chemical
industry problems. To provide the solution for instability of grist cost, use prediction
algorithms in the machine learning to predict [1] the grist cost and take the decisions based on
it. The most preferable algorithms for this application are Naive Bayes and Support Vector
Machines. To provide novel solutions for chemical industry, Intelligent and optimized
solutions [2] are available through AI & ML. To understand the needs of the consumers in
the chemical industry, use Data analytics. It offers better understanding of consumer
requirements. In the case of online trading, to improve the sales of chemical products choose
the proper portals which had already established the relation with the consumers or otherwise
decide which products need to sell through online portals and which products may sell
directly. To take these sort of decisions the ML techniques like Association rule mining helps
the Industries. The best algorithms for this process are Apriori algorithm and FP-growth
algorithm. To reduce the complexity of execution in the chemical industry during M&A, use
IoT which automates many of the industrial procedures. This automation reduces the risks
and improves the performance.
A simple and rapid gas chromatographic method for quantification of organic volatile
impurities present in Enrofloxacin and its pharmaceutical dosage forms is described. The
organic solvents such as Methanol,1-Butanol, and Toluene are frequently used in the
manufacturing of Enrofloxacin. Even after such a manufacturing process, some solvents
(OVI’s) still remain in small quantities [1]. So in this work to quantifies that type of solvents
(OVI’s) as per ICH guidelines.Method for the quantification of residual solvents (OVI’s)
present in Enrofloxacin API was done by headspace gas chromatography with flame
ionization detector [2] and utilizes the Shimadzu GC- 2010 with FID capillary column,
Nitrogen as carrier gas with a flow rate of 3.0 mL/min. The critical experimental parameters
such as oven temperature, zero air, make-up flow, injection temperature; split ratio,
headspace conditions and the selection of diluent were studied and optimized.The retention
time of various residual solvents (OVI’s) taken individually and in spiked standard solutions
were determined. The retention times are 2.30 min for Methanol, 7.07 for 1-Butanol and 8.48
for Toluene respectively. The USP resolution is more than 5.0 for four solvents. The % RSD
for six injections should be NMT 10%. The recovery ranges from 85-115%. The correlation
coefficient (R2) is NLT 0.999. The LOQ and LOD were found to be 252 ppm, 83 ppm for
Methanol, 100 ppm, 33 ppm for 1-Butanol and 56 ppm, 19 ppm for Toluene. Precision,
method precision, intermediate precision and in dosage forms were found to be within the
acceptance limit[3]. From the obtained validation results the proposed method has been
successfully applied for the quantification of organic volatile impurities present in
Enrofloxacin API and its pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Metal matrix composites are in demand nowadays with respect to their demand in the
engineering applications like aeronautical, automobile and marine industries. Continuous
studies with respect to mechanical properties of composite materials. Where as detailed
corrosion studies of the metal matrix composites is less. Hence in this paper a detailed study
of corrosion properties of composite materials with various techniques in different
concentrated solutions of sodium chloride have been done. The matrix alloy selected is
Aluminium 7075 alloy which is commercially available. The reinforcement added is 50-80
micron size titanium nitride particulates. The composites containing 5, 10 and 15 weight
percentage of titanium nitride particulates are manufactured by liquid melt metallurgy
technique. Preheated but uncoated titanium nitride particulates are added in to the vortex
created by an impeller in the molten aluminium alloy. Then stirred well, degasified by adding
hexachloroethane tablets. Then the composites were casted using pre heated cast iron moulds.
The castings are subjected to machining to get specimens as per standards to conduct static
weight loss corrosion test, polarization test and electrochemical impedance tests using
electrochemical work station are conducted. Salt spray tests using salt spray chamber was
also conducted.. In all the tests corrosion rates are calculated and the results are simulated
using computer. The results reveal that the corrosion rates of the composite materials
decreases with increase in reinforcement content. Hence the composite materials are more
proffered than the matrix alloy in various applications already mentioned above.

The contamination of water sources with heavy metals such as Boron and Thallium
(I) ions [1-2], has generated special concern because these are frequently mixed in Industrial
waste waters, complicating their remediation. Because of this it is important to study the
simultaneous adsorption of Boron and Thallium (I) to evaluate the effect of the interactions
present when the two metals meet in the middle. This situation has led to the use of
lignocellulosic based carbon like Ocimum sanctum (Holy Basil) bio-mass received much less
attention as precursor for the preparation of activated carbon as adsorbent material. In this
context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the simultaneous adsorption of B and Tl
(I) on an adsorbents prepared from holy basil indicated as (OSC) chemical treatment with of
0.5 M HNO3 and thermal at 200°C. Simultaneous adsorption tests of B and Tl (I) were
performed using different combinations of metal cations in aqueous solutions to assess the
effect of different concentrations. Different process parameters, equilibrium conditions and
kinetics were analysed. Operation parameters studied were initial metal ion concentration,
solution pH, adsorbent dosage and temperature. Isotherm models to assess adsorption
equilibrium in studies reviewed are discussed. Adsorption was found between 74 and 88% of
both metals. An antagonistic effect was presented between B and Tl (I), which compete to
occupy the active sites on the surface of the adsorbent material. Similarly, it was determined
that there was a preferential adsorption of Boron on the material regardless of its initial
concentration, indicating a greater affinity between the adsorbent B and Tl (I). Finally, the
results show that the affinity of each metal ion onto the surface of the activated carbon is
influenced by binary mixture pH values. The antagonistic competitive effect was observed
for two metals, which is relevant to the size and electro negativity of the metal ions [3]. It was
also concluded from the present study adsorption capacity of prepared carbon samples
towards Boron and Thallium is more in single element system than binary system [4], it is due
to competitive adsorption process. The adsorbent material evaluated is efficient in the
simultaneous removal of two heavy metals such as Boron and Tl (I), so it could be used as an
alternative for decontamination of water sources contaminated with these metals.
The genus Premna (Verbenaceae) comprises a group of more than 200 different trees,
distributed in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Premna tomentosa (Verbanaceae) is
a well known medicinal plant, is one of the important constituents among ten herb
formulations called ‘Dashmula’, a decotion of ten plants used in Indian traditional system of
medicine. All parts of P. tomentosa have been employed for the treatment of various
disorders. Its bark extract is claimed to have a lasting cure for hepatic disorders. Extracts
from P. tomentosa leaves are known to have diuretic, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, lipid-
lowering, immunomodulatory activities, and protective against acetaminophen-induced
mitochondrial dysfunction properties. Earlier studies on this species have resulted in the
isolation of various compounds, including flavonoids, triterpenoids, and steroids. As part of
our continuing efforts directed towards the discovery of the structurally interesting and
biologically active compounds from the Indian medicinal plants, an initial screening
procedure was conducted using the cancer cell lines. Bioactivity-guided phytochemical
analysis of hexane extract led to the isolation of three new icetexane type diterpenes (1–3)
(Fig. 1) and the three known compounds (4-6).

Zinc borate glasses doped with 2.0 mol% of Er2O3 and mixed with thermally resistant
transition metal oxides viz., Ta2O5, Nb2O5 and ZrO2 were synthesized. OA and PL spectra
and decay profiles of these glasses were recorded at ambient temperature. The spectra were
characterized using Judd–Ofelt theory and various radiative parameters viz., transition
probability, A, branching ratio, and the radiative lifetime, of principal emission
transitions of these glasses have been evaluated. The results indicated a significant
enhancement in the intensity of green emission (related to 4S3/2 4I15/2 transition) of Er3+ ions
due to co-doping of the glass system with Ta2O5, Nb2O5 and ZrO2. Quantitative analysis of
the results has pointed out that ZrO2 is the most favourable oxide among the three co-dopants
for achieving the highest quantum efficiency of green emission. Results were further
analysed based on the structural modifications taking place in the vicinity of Er3+ ions due to
co-doping with Ta2O5, Nb2O5 and ZrO2 and the reasons for such improvement have been
identified by means of IR and Raman spectroscopy studies. Additionally, the 4S3/2 energy
level of Er3+ ions (from which the green emission is originated) seemed to have been
additionally by the energy transfer from the excited state of ZnO and contributed to the
amplification of green emission.
Zinc alumino borate glasses doped with different concentrations of iron oxide were
prepared by melt quenching method and their spectroscopic studies were investigated. The
chemical composition of the glasses chosen for this study is: 20 ZnO–5 Al2O3–75 B2O3:
xFe2O3 (0 x 1.0 in mol %). The prepared glasses were characterized by XRD and SEM to
confirm the amorphous nature of the samples. Spectroscopic studies viz., optical absorption
and IR studies indicated iron ions exist in Fe2+ and Fe3+ valence states with different
coordinations in glass matrix, the Fe3+ ions were found be in both tetrahedral and octahedral
positions whereas Fe2+ occupy the octahedral positions. In the optical absorption spectra the
intensity of the bands observed due to the transitions of Fe3+ ions is observed to increase at
the expense of the Fe2+ ions band viz., 5T2g 5Eg indicating gradual decrement in the
concentration of Fe2+ ions with increase of Fe2O3 content. In the IR spectra, the intensity of
the tetrahedral bands FeO4 and BO4 is observed to increase at the expense of the bands due to
BO3, FeO6 units with the increase in the concentration of Fe2O3. This result clearly suggests a
gradual increase in the tetrahedral occupancy of iron ions in these glasses that alternate with
BO4 units. The concentration of Fe2O3 is increased, the iron ions mostly exist in trivalent
state and occupy tetrahedral and octahedral substitutional positions and strengthen the glass
network and such glasses are more corrosion resistant and exhibit transparency over the
broad spectral region.

The emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide can
cause global warming effects include rising sea levels, regional changes in precipitation,
more frequent extreme weather events such as heat waves, expansion of deserts and ocean
acidification etc., The reports of Climate model projections summarises that, during the 21st
century, the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 0.3 to 1.7 °C (0.5 to 3.1 °F)
in a moderate scenario, or as much as 2.6 to 4.8 °C (4.7 to 8.6 °F) in an extreme scenario,
depending on the rate of future greenhouse gas emissions and on climate feedback effects.
To overcome such problems, it is suggested that, there is a great need to recycle
greenhouse gases into useful fuel and hydrogen gas etc. This step will lead to a remarkable
effort for reverse global warming. For this process, the use of effective catalyst such as
Nickel, Magnesium and Molybdenum can convert large amounts of greenhouse gases like
carbon dioxide and methane. The catalyst, made from inexpensive and abundant nickel,
magnesium, and molybdenum, initiates and speeds up the rate of reaction that converts
carbon dioxide and methane into hydrogen gas. This conversion is called 'dry reforming',
where harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide, are processed to produce more useful chemicals
that could be refined for use in fuel, plastics, or even pharmaceuticals. Further the
experiments with the use of nickel-molybdenum nanoparticles under a reductive environment
in presence of a single crystalline magnesium oxide show greater results in capturing green
house gases and make the environment on earth become safe and healthy.
Key Words: Global warming; greenhouse gases; catalyst; nanoparticles. Global warming;
greenhouse gases; catalyst; nanoparticles.

The synthesis of heterocyclic compounds has been an important area of study as these
molecules are used in various fields such as agriculture, medicine, pharmacy and contribute
to potent and selective drugs. Thiazolopyrimidines are an interesting group of heterocyclic
compounds which shows a variety of medicinal properties such as anticancer, antimicrobial,
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiparkinsonian, antitumor and antiviral. An
environmentally benign, viable procedure and efficient one-pot method has been developed
for the synthesis of novel series of 2,4-diaryl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-
a]pyrimidine hydrobromide, derivatives 3 by the α-bromination of Cyclohexanone 1 with N-
Bromosuccinamide (NBS) and followed by cyclization with 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-
thiones, 2 respectively, in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) in acetonitrile. The
significant features of this method are novel, simple, inexpensive experimental procedure,
short reaction time, and good yield. Some of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for
the cytotoxic activity against human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549), human breast
carcinoma cell line (MCF-7), Tested compounds 3(b-e) showed the excellent anticancer
activity against various cell lines. Particularly compounds 3c and 3e with IC50 values of 2.2 ±
0.6µM, and 5.6± 0.4 µM showed best cytotoxic effects against A549 and HeLa cancer cell
lines. Furthermore, Molecular docking study was performed for synthesized compounds 3(b-
e) against topoisomerase-II by using anti docking method. Docking results of the compound
3e exhibited highest docking score than the standard doxorubicin.

PHARMACEUTICAL
In recent years, the novel segment of biotechnology has gained the momentum into
the pharmaceutical sector. Biotechnology products – or biologics – cover a wide range of
molecular classes. They range from proteins, like monoclonal antibodies, to peptide drugs up
to vaccines as well as gene and cell therapy products.The benefit of biological products is
their high effectiveness and site specific when compared to small molecule drugs. They
usually react highly specific against one target, which results in less undesirable side effects
and low toxicity which is beneficial for patients. A major challenge for the success of
biologics, especially peptide and protein drugs, has been their lack of oral absorption.
Recently, new delivery systems have been developed to overcome this challenge. Another
hurdle to the wider adoption of biologics has been the transition of candidates from academic
to industrial research and difficulties in large-scale production of biotechnological products
as well as affordability. Compared to the production of small molecules, biologics production
is highly complex and need technological advancement to fix the quality. For example,
protein therapeutics are produced in living cells, they require several post-translational
modifications to enhance their specificity and complex purification processes to ensure their
safety. However, parallel many small molecules are getting approval for wider treatments and
also they are acting as a very important payload in case of ADC.This paradigm shifts in
treatment certainly well accepted however many challenges need to overcome towards
patient benefits.

The study was aimed to evaluate the anticancer activity of crude methanol (MeOH)
extracts and its organic solvent fractions including Chloroform (CH), ethylacetate (EA) and
n-butanol (Bu) of Aloe sinana root and leaf latex on human cancer cell lines: A549 (lung).
Sulforhodamine B (SRB) in vitro cyto toxicity assay was used to determine the percentage of
growth inhibition and IC50 values of root and leaf latex extracts of Aloe sinana. The results
were compared to standard anticancer drug Etoposide. Results demonstrated that extracts and
solvent fractions of the root and leaf latex of A. sinana exhibited dose dependent cyto toxicity
effect on human cancer cell lines. In this study, all organic solvent fractions of the root of A.
sinana were significantly active (IC50 ≤ 30µg/ml) against A549 cancer cell line, but Crude
MeOH and CH of the leaf latex of A. sinana were significantly active (IC50 ≤ 30µg/ml)
against A549 cancer cell line. The highest cyto toxicity for root and leaf latex was found in
the chloroform fraction. Extracts and solvent fractions of the root and leaf latex were less
potent as a cyto toxic agent in the all cancer cell lines when compared with reference standard
anticancer drug Etoposide. American National Cancer Institute (NCI, USA) recommended
that an IC50 ≤ 30 µg/ml is considered active and a promising for purification of a crude
extract. Likewise, the broad spectrum of extracts and solvent fractions of this plant should be
studied for active principles, and the mechanism of cell growth inhibition along with further
anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, purified compounds as well as their
derivatives could hold great promise towards good active leads for the development of a new
group of cancer chemotherapeutics agents.

OP-4:
4: POTENTIATION OF APOPTOSIS BY NOVEL IR ((Ⅲ)
COMPLEXES ON TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER CELLS
Although chemotherapy with cisplatin remains the mainstay treatment option for
treating triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), the development of drug resistance and severe
side effects makes it unproductive in treating TNBC (Lee and Djamgoz 2018) 2018). To address
this problem there is an utter need for finding novel non-platinum
platinum metal complexes for filling
the void in TNBC treatment. In this study, we demonstrated the effect of series of novel
cyclo-metalated 2H-indazoles
indazoles Ir (Ⅲ)
( on the proliferation MDA-MB-231,231, a TNBC cell line.
The in vitro cell viability
ability studies showed all compounds exhibited potential cytotoxic activity
against these cell lines. Enhanced cytotoxicity has been observed in cyclo cyclo-metalated
complexes when compared to ligands alone. Among these complexes evaluated, Ir Ir-3 complex
was foundnd to be most effective and selected for further investigation. We have analysed the
effect of Ir-33 on TNBC cell proliferation, apoptosis induction, cell cycle inhibition and cell
migration. Ir-33 inhibited the proliferation of TNBC cells by increasing the levels of reactive
oxygen species and triggering mitochondrial mediated apoptotic cell death pathway.
Complex Ir-33 should be further investigated in vivo to establish it as an alternative strategy to
improve TNBC treatment.

WHO estimates that over 170 million people worldwide are affected with Diabetes
mellitus and its complications, the number is estimated to be over 380 million by the
year2030. Fenugreek is one of the medicinal plants used traditionally to manage diabetes
mellitus. In this study was to investigate the effect of fenugreek seed powder solution for
antidiabetic potential on prediabetic patients. A total of (N = 114) prediabetic patients without
any significant diabetes complication were selected. They were grouped into two groups: the
treatment group (n =57) consumed 25 g fenugreek seed powder solution orally twice a day
for one month and the second group is the control (n =57). Blood sample was collected from
each participant by a medical technologist/technician before and after the study. Fasting
blood glucose level was analyzed by using Mindray BS 200E fully automated clinical
chemistry analyzer. Treatment group had significantly reduced fasting blood glucose level
23.3% (184.88±38.9 vs 141.0±31.1 (P< 0.001)) compared with the baseline fasting blood
glucose level, and the control group141.0 ±31.12 vs 179.2 ±21.5 (P <0.001). However,
fasting blood glucose level in control group was not significantly changed 181.46±16.41

powder solution had pronounced effects in improving fasting blood glucose in prediabetic
patients with no adverse effects. Therefore, fenugreek seed may provide new alternatives for
the clinical management of diabetes.

Drug delivery, a different approach in treatment of diseases but major challenge still
persists between theraupeutic and toxic activity. A great deal of work is reported with gene
pairs, plasma treated solutions and metal/nano complexes, however geometric approach for
study is still conceited. The present article focus on conformational studies of reported green
synthesis of bis-derivatives
derivatives of 2,5-diamino
2,5 no thiadiazole derivatives with Isatin /Chalcone /
Acridone that provide insights of antimicrobial activity. The link between Isatin /Chalcone /
Acridone and 1,3,4 thiadiazole -2,5-diamine
diamine was implemented with electron density method
using Gaussian package 6-311++(d,p)
6 311++(d,p) basis set to explore reason contributing to
antimicrobial response in terms of related molecular and electronic properties. The complexes
of acridone are more active against antimicrobial activity which was also supported by DFT
studies. Conformational
ormational studies reveal a reduced energy gap with high kinetic stability and
electrophilicity index in the complex with delocalized electrophilic sites of 1,3,4 thiadiazole -
2,5 diamine and nucleophilic sites of reactants .

12: BILAYER TABLET TECHNOLOGY: A NOVEL APPROACH
Bilayer tablet is new era for the successful development of controlled release
formulation along with various features to provide a way of successful drug delivery system.
Controlled release dosage forms have been extensively used to improve therapy with sseveral
important drugs. Use of bilayer tablet is a very different aspect for anti
anti-inflammatory and
analgesic. Bilayer tablet is suitable for sequential release of two drugs in combination,
separate two incompatible substances and also for sustained release tablet in which one Layer
is immediate release as initial dose and second layer is maintenance dose. Bilayer tablet is
improved beneficial technology to overcome the shortcoming of the single layered tablet.
This article provides an overview of the bilayer
bilayer tablet technology, highlighting the main
benefits of this type of oral dosage forms while providing a description of current challenges
and advances toward improving manufacturing practices and product quality.
A rapid, sensitive and selective bioanalytical method was developed and validated by
Liquid Chromatography - Mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for determination and
comparison of Selexipag % assay in various biological materials. Methods: Selexipag was
extracted and compared its % assay after protein precipitation technique from various
biological materials such as rat plasma, rabbit plasma, human plasma and urine. Ambrisentan
was selected as internal standard. Selected analytical column Waters, X-Bridge C18 3.5µ (50
x 4.6 mm), mobile phase consists of Hexane sulfonic acid and Acetonitrile (80:20 v/v) at a
flow rate of 1.0 mL /min in isocratic mode and Selexipag was determined by the +ve mode of
electrospray ionization by using Mass detector. The method was developed to assess the
lower limit of detection (LLOD) (0.5 ng/mL), lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) (5
ng/mL) concentrations and Linearity range of 1 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL concentration with
regression correlation coefficient 0.999 were observed for Selexipag in Rat plasma. The test
samples at lower, medium and higher concentrations of Selexipag shows precision (% CV
was 0.8 to 1.11) and accuracy results (97.3 % to 100.6 %) for inter-day and intra-day analysis
at 0.5, 5, 10, 15 ng/mL concentrations of Selexipag. Appreciable recoveries for Selexipag
were observed when extracted in Rat plasma compared with other biological materials.

Heavy metals such as copper is a trace element generally found in very low
concentrations which is essential for life and function of specific enzymes, a few are
beneficial while many are highly toxic. Copper, a common chemical contaminant in aquatic
environment, is known to be toxic to aquatic life at high concentrations. Biomarkers have
been used increasingly to investigate the adverse impacts of pollutants on different aspects
of the structure and function of an ecosystem. In this study, the transcriptome of Indian
white shrimp was characterized by a comparison between control and Copper-treated samples
using RNA-sequence approach. Totally, 88234826 bp and 13.24G clean reads were obtained.
The total length and number of unigenes were 68411206 bp and 100918, respectively. The
maximal and average length of unigenes was 24906 bp and 678 bp, respectively (N50, 798
bp). 7115 of these unigenes accounted for 7.05% of the total that were annotated in all
databases. After annotation of assembled unigenes, 35619 of them were assigned into 3
functional categories and 56 subcategories using Gene Ontology; 18580 of them were
assigned into 26 functional categories using Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins;
16864 of them were assigned into 5 major categories and 32 subclasses using KEGG. Finally,
1730 genes were differentially expressed (DGEs), 9 overexpressed pathways such as protein
digestion and absorption, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, pancreatic secretion,
tyrosine metabolism, amoebiasis, ECM-receptor interaction, riboflavin metabolism, amino
sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic
complications were significantly enriched (q < 0.05), and one down-regulated pathway
(Staphylococcus aureus infection) was significantly enriched (q < 0.05). Overexpression of
genes in the pathways of protein digestion or absorption (PepT1/SLC15A and ATP1B) and
environment information processing (COL1AS, COL4A; LAMA3_5, LAMB3; FN1 and TN)
may imply the potentially positive toxicity resistance mechanisms.

The development of green processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles is evolving into
an important branch of nanotechnology. In the present study,silver nanoparticles were green
synthesized from freshly prepared aqueous stem extract of Euphorbia miliiby adding aqueous
solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) at room temperature(Kasithevar et al., 2017). The silver
nanoparticles formed were characterized using UV-Visible spectrophotometer,
Transmissionelectron microscope, Scanning electron Microscope and FTIR studies(Devraj et
al., 2013). The initial yellowish brown colour of AgNO3 was changed to reddish brown and
finally to colloidal brown solution with addition of stem extract after reaction period of 15
min. This colour change is due to the Surface Plasmon Resonance phenomenon. The UV-
Visible absorption peaks between 434.11nm clearly indicates the formation of silver
nanoparticles.The shape and size of the synthesized AgNps was examined by TEM and
SEM.TEM images revealed the poly disperse nature of the synthesized silver nanoparticles
with a size range of approximately 60-100nm which confirmed the nanometer size of the
particles. The shapeof the synthesized nanoparticles was mostly spherical with few as
ellipsoidal. SEM image provided further insight into the morphology and size details of the
silver nanoparticles. The FTIR analysis showed the functional groups involved in the AgNps
formation. The antimicrobial potential of AgNps synthesized from the stem extract of
E.miliiwas evaluated against both Gram positive and Gramnegativebacteria and fungi. AgNps
synthesized from the stem of E.milii exhibited significant antibacterial activity against both
Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.Micrococcus luteus MTCC 106 exhibited highest
sensitivity (20.5mmzone of inhibition) to the stem AgNps than positive control
(streptomycin). Sclerotium hydrophilum MTCC 2157 showed highest susceptibility
(25.2mm ZOI) towards the synthesized AgNps than the other tested fungi.This promised
result of antimicrobial activity divulges the pharmacological application of silver
nanoparticles against the diseases caused by both Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial
strains as well as fungal strains.

dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). In this study we also investigated antimicrobial activity of
green synthesized NPs. Finally concluded the silver, copper and zinc oxide nanoparticles
exhibited an interesting antimicrobial activity with both Gram positive and Gram negative
bacteria. Synthesized nanoparticles will be evaluated for their biological activity like
anticancer, antioxidant, catalytic activity. a) Anticancer activity: The in vivo and in vitro
anticancer activity of green synthesized Ag nanoparticles will be evaluated. b) Antioxidant
activity: The antioxidant activity will be checked by DPPH radical scavenging assay. c)

The present study reports the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles
using aqueous extract of Hibiscus tiliaceus L. leaves and its application in anti-oxidant and
anti-cancer studies. The phytochemical analysis has proved the presence of flavonoids which
played a major role in reduction and stabilization of silver nanoparticles. FTIR analysis
showed the other functional groups which played a role in reduction and stabilization of
AgNPs, X-ray crystallography (XRD) indicated that the AgNPs were in crystal form, UV–
VIS spectroscopy, DLS and zeta potential analysis proved the formation, average size in
colloidal form and stability of the AgNPs synthesized. FE-SEM, and HR-TEM showed the
size and shape of the nanoparticles which are spherical in shape and are of average size of 30-
35nm. EDAX confirmed the presence of silver. The synthesized AgNPs were applied for
antioxidant studies i.e., total antioxidant assay, DPPH assay, reducing power assay and metal
ion chelating assay which showed very good activity which were almost equal to standard
controls. The synthesized AgNPs showed good anticancer activity on MCF-7 cells with 88%
inhibition in MTT assay, which provides favourable methodology for alternate nano-drug
development.
Bt cotton contains genes from Bacillus thuringiensis that make the plant resistant to
the cotton bollworm complex. This inbuilt insect resistance can lead to savings in chemical
pest control and higher effective yields in farmers’ fields(1).Number of researchers have

countries (2). In addition to productivity gains (3), Bt adoption entails reduced incidence of
acute pesticide poisoning among small holders (4). During 2006–2008, the cost difference
was lower because of government interventions in seed pricing and increasing competition in
the market for Bt technology (5). This paper aim is to determine the Bt gene and Bt protein
in Bt cotton seeds which are obtaining from Bt cotton hybrids. In this ELISA test was
performed on the Bt hybrids to identify the Bt protein positive and negative seeds, then
isolated the Bt positive seeds. The isolated DNA solution was amplified through PCR
amplification method by using Bt primers. Finally the zygosity of the Bt gene in the isolated
DNA is tested by GEL Electrophoresis method.

Metabolic pathways play an important role in living organisms. They are very
important in breaking and making of bonds to form various metabolites, which are of
immense value to the living organisms. Secondary metabolites are one of them,which also
include antibacterial metabolites that are produced by one microorganismwhich inhibit the
growth of other microorganism. Today, antibacterial metabolites are like chemical weapons
in the hands of humans to combat a number of infectious diseases. Bacteria are the best
choice for exploitation, among all other microorganisms, because of their numerous abilities
in varied conditions. It is well known that highly polluted water exerts both biotic and abiotic
stress on microbes (Tripathyet al., 2009), which compels the bacteriato undergo various
modifications in their metabolism for their survival in that habitat.So, the present work has
focussed onscreening the bacteria isolated from polluted waters of River Musi and Lake
Hussain Sagar for antibacterial metabolite production.Bacteria were isolated from the
collected polluted water samples by plating method. The representative colonies of the
isolates were subcultured and then checked for their antibacterial activity against some
selected Gram positive and Gram negative bacteriaby Agar well diffusion method
(Mohammad et al., 2011). One of the isolates, which was identified as Pseudomonas
aeruginosa by 16S rRNA sequencing and named as Pseudomonas aeruginosa vur-z, wasfound
to be a potent producer of antibacterial metabolite.The isolate has shown antibacterial activity
against 12bacteria, of the 16 test bacteria used in the study. Maximum antibacterial activity
was noted against Salmonella entericaand minimum zone of inhibition was noted against
Alcaligenes faecalis and Streptococcus mutans. Further work on isolation, characterization
and identification of the potent antimicrobial compound from this strain is under progress.

Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease, every year ten million cases are being diagnosed
mainly from Africa and Southeast Asia and approximately 2 million people died with malaria
(World Malaria Report, 2014). The spreading and development of resistance is a great
problem to malaria treatment and control. So there are critical challenges that still deserve
attention in order to boost malaria prevention and control because of the resistance of
parasites and recently developed RTS,S vaccine does not protected Plasmodium vivax

malaria and partial protection against P. falciparum (Benelli and Mehlhorn, 2016). Hence, the
plant based formulations are an alternative source for development of new drugs for
treatment of malaria. Thus the present study was aimed to evaluate the antiplasmodial activity
of the plant Cleome viscose (Devi et al., 2002).
The collected plant parts were washed with tap water and dried in shade under
laboratory condition. The crude extracts were extracted through soxhlet apparatus, the
residues were concentrated in rotary vacuum evaporator. The parasites were cultured in
RPMI medium supplemented with O+ serum in 96-well plate. The THP-1 cell lines were also
cultured in RPMI medium in 96-well plate. In vivo studies were conducted in BALB/c albino
mice.Of all the extracts the ethyl acetate extract of leaves has shown excellent antimalarial
activity with IC50 value of 7.00 µg/ml. In cytotoxicity evaluation of crude extracts, none of
the extracts has shown cytotoxicity on THP-1 cell line. The in vivo study has revealed that
the ethyl acetate leaf extract of C. viscosa displayed a very good activity against Plasmodium
berghei.
Conclusion: The ethyl acetate leaf extract of C. viscosa was found to be a good
source for the development of new medicine or drug for the treatment of drug resistant
malaria.

Environmental chemistry deals with the chemical processes that occur in water, air,
terrestrial and living environments including the effects of human activity on them. Water has
many unique properties, characteristics and is very important for every living organism on
this earth but only 0.61% of freshwater is available in the form of groundwater that found
below the earth’s surface. Over exploitation of groundwater at seashore or coastal areas by
natural processes or human activities by digging more wells for freshwater storage induces
saltwater intrusion due to the hydraulic connection between groundwater and seawater results
in decreasing the groundwater levels or by increasing seawater levels. It is a widespread
environmental problem of coastal regions It can accelerate salinity processes and aggravating
the affected land. Chemical constituents which are present in seawater can deteriorate the
water quality by changing their temperature, pH, salinity, alkalinity, metal concentration, DO,
nutrients and texture. High concentration of sodium and chloride can make water unfit for
human consumption, horticulture, agriculture, fisheries and for industrial uses and it also
contribute to various kinds of diseases to animals and plants. The chemical substance which
enters into the groundwater is very difficult and impossible to remove back; this change
brings marked reduction in vegetation levels and adversely affects their growth. Long term
effects include natural dynamism of affected wet and dry land ecosystems of coastal areas
that are prone to several severe natural hazards. The rate of groundwater extraction is
unsustainable thus it was seen as a threat for future. So withdraw of groundwater shall be
permitted where no other source of water is available and maximum try to look for alternative
water supplies. Protection of the groundwater resources is needed to continue the life on
earth.

The need to explore biodiversity for the production of novel metabolites is increasing
progressively. Bioprospecting is the most frequently used term for screening of biological
resources for the extraction of commercially important compounds. Furthermore, laccases are
also capable of performing polymerization, depolymerization, methylation, and
demethylation reactions. Because of their wide substrate activity, laccases have received
broad interest for their biotechnological applications in paper pulping, dye decolourization,
bioremediation, denim refining, textile cleaning, juice and wine clarification, biosensor and
biofuel cell design, manufacture of new compounded material from lignin waste
detoxification of environmental pollutants, and revalorization of wastes and wastewaters. The
bacterial laccases may have many advantageous properties compared to classical fungal
laccases because of their highly efficient expression, much higher thermostability, and
alkaline torelancy, Based on a survey of biotechnical and enzymatic applications involving
halophilic organisms, it is likely that halolaccases will offer up disruptive technologies where
a high pH, temperature, and salt, metal, and chemical contents and low water content media
are desirable. Despite such stability and the numerous advantages that prokaryotic enzyme
production ,may offer over eukaryotic production. Industrial or biotechnological use of
bacterial laccase is still not viable because of its extremely low yield. Therefore, there is a
need to find novel halo-bacterial laccases with potential industrial relevance through the
exploration of natural diversity and also to improve the yield which can have tremendous
laccase applications. Due to the less diversity of the enzyme isolation in prokaryotes and its
wide range of biotechnological applications, the present investigation aims to isolate and
characterize halo-bacterial isolates, capable of laccase production, from different resources
and to establish optimal physiological parameters for higher concentration of laccase
production from a selected strain and to investigate dye decolorization potential of laccases
thus produced.

The Orchidaceae, one of the biggest of the angiosperm families with more than
763 genera and an estimated 28,000 species, is well-known for its floral complexities. In
India, the orchids are engaged for a variety of therapeutic uses in different systems of
traditional medicine. In the ayurvedic system of medicine, orchids such as Habenaria
intermedia, H. edgeworthii, Malaxis acuminata and M. muscifera are the key components of
Ashtavarga, which is a group of eight medicinal plants employed in the preparation of a
number of rejuvenating formulations and tonics. Other commonly used orchid drugs in the
ayurvedic system are salem (Orchis latifolia, Eulophia latifolia), Jiwanti (Dendobium
alpestre) and rasna (Acampe papillosa). Likewise, many orchid species are used for a variety
of ailments. Ever since the isolation of ‘dendrobine’ from Dendrobium nobile, a large number
of alkaloids and other phytochemicals have been reported from the family Orchidaceae. The
present review work mainly highlights the traditional therapeutic uses of orchids, and
orchidaceous phyto-constituents such as alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, glycosides,
resins, sterols terpenes and tannins. Further, some of the therapeutic properties and the
important chemicals isolated from orchids are presented in detail.
Globally, fossil fuels (petroleum products and coal) are enormously used by humans
in their daily life. Fossil fuels are composed of a wide range of complex organic compounds.
Oxidation of fossil fuels, during their utilization emits hazardous gaseous pollutants into the

atmosphere. The sulphur dioxide is one among those gaseous pollutants, released as a result
of oxidation of organosulfur compounds occurring in fossil fuels. The sulphur dioxide is
deleterious to humans and one of the major causes of acid rain. The hydrodesulfurization
process, which in current practice for the removal of sulphur content from petroleum products
is not a convincing approach as it is ineffective in the removal of certain highly recalcitrant
organosulfur compounds, especially, dibenzothiophene. An alternative approach suggested
by many researchers is biodesulfurization, which exploits microbes for the elimination of
sulphur from organosulfur compounds present in petroleum products. The dibenzothiophene
is regarded as a model organosulfur compound to carry out biodesulfurization experiments.
The microbes which can remove sulphur atom via 4S biochemical pathway are regarded as
commercial strains as they selectively disassociate sulphur from dibenzothiophene in the
form of sulphite without affecting the ring structure of dibenzothiophene and thus restoring
the calorific value of the petroleum product. The present work was aimed to study the effect
of physical parameters (temperature and pH) and nutrient sources viz., carbon (Glucose,
Fructose, Sucrose, Maltose, Starch, Cellulose, Mannitol and Glycerol), nitrogen (Peptone,
Yeast extract, Casein, Urea, Ammonium chloride, Ammonium sulfate, Sodium nitrate and
Potassium nitrate) and amino acid sources (Proline, Alanine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine,
Arginine, Lysine, Cysteine, Methionine and Glutamine) on the dibenzothiophene
desulfurization activity and growth of bacterium, Streptomyces sp. VUR PPR 101 isolated
from oil contaminated soils of mechanical workshops. Minimal salt broth with
dibenzothiophene was inoculated with the bacterium and incubated at different temperatures
and pH levels. Similarly, the bacterium was grown in dibenzothiophene containing minimal
salt broth supplemented with different concentrations of the selected nutrient sources to
determine the optimum concentration of each nutrient source required for enhanced
dibenzothiophene desulfurization activity and growth .The results obtained during this
optimization study revealed that 30o C temperature and pH 7.0 of the physical parameters;
3% glucose, 1% yeast extract and 0.3 mg/ml glutamine of carbon, nitrogen and amino acid
sources, respectively were optimum for the enhanced desulfurization activity as well as
growth of the Streptomyces sp. VUR PPR 101.

India has made considerable progress against human development indicators in recent
years, but malnutrition resulting from poor dietary diversity and low micronutrient intakes
remains entrenched. Surveys show that in the developing countries diets are qualitatively
deficient in nutritional values due to low intake of foods from animal origin. Besides that,
fish has unique advantages when compared to other animal proteins. It is the cheapest source
of quality protein which plays a great role in quenching the nutritional requirement in both
developing and under developed countries. In particular, marine fishes are known to be a
reservoir of essential nutrients like digestible proteins, amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty
acids, vitamins, and trace elements along with other secondary metabolites with bioactive
properties which are essential for holistic nutritional security. In many countries wild capture
fisheries remain the dominant supplier to provide elite group for nutrition security. Whereas
in India, the marine fish supply is undergoing a transition with aquaculture. However, this
transition increased availability of fish from aquaculture but not have fully compensated the
loss of fish from capture fisheries in terms of dietary diversity, micro nutrients and nutrition
security. Hence the present paper reviews the range of approaches that are recommended to
sustain and enhance the contributions from capture fisheries to make ensure the nutritional
security in India.
Viruses are associated with a variety of diseases that affect different systems of the
human body. DNA viruses like Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) may cause acute and chronic
diseases which may lead to hepatic carcinomas and antibiotic resistance in humans. Hence
the early and accurate diagnosis of the disease is critically important. Undiagnosed patients
can unknowingly transmit the disease to others. So, early diagnosis can help to prevent or
stop an outbreak.

The current study mainly focussed to identify an infectious disease through molecular
based diagnosis by using Real-time PCR (qPCR). There are several tools used in molecular
diagnostics which include- Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH), DNA Microarray,
Sequencing, Spectrometry, Flow-cytometry etc., but the use of Polymerase Chain Reaction in
molecular diagnostics has increased to the point where it is now accepted as the Gold
standard for detecting nucleic acids and has become an essential tool in disease diagnosis.
Real-time PCR has engenerated wider acceptance of the PCR due to its improved rapidity,
sensitivity, reproducibility and reduced risk to carry-over contamination.

Medicinal plants are the reservoirs of potentially useful chemical compounds that have
been serving for ages as theureupetic agents and leads for modern drug design .The main
objective of the present study is to investigate the presence of various phytochemicals from the
whole plant methanolic extracts of the medicinal plants Homalium zeylanicum and
Schrebera swietenioides. The various parts of the plant including root, stem, leaves and bark
are having many traditional uses, mainly in diabetes, leprosy, wound healing ,rheumatism, spleen
enlargement and hydrocele. Phyto chemical screening plays an important role in the detection of
the bioactive compounds. The phytochemical tests of the extracts from whole plant were found
individually to contain alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, triterpenoids, steroids,
glycosides and saponins. The generated data provides the basis for their wide use in traditional
and folk medicine.This can be exploited for new drug design in the future. Results will be
discussed in depth.

Nature is a big source of colours, has been ignored by the mankind for many years.
Though the ancient civilizations utilized the Natural colours, very little light is thrown in this
area in recent times. Over the past many years, it has been observed that synthetic dyes have
many disadvantages like toxicity, pollution and allergenicity despite natural dyes have no
such disadvantages. Natural colourants are used mainly for textile dyeing, painting, glass,

leather, food, beverages, cosmetics and paper industry. Application of natural colourants is
very much restricted then synthetic dyes in terms of market captivity. Ethiopian historical
legacy reflects the use of jubilant colours in their ancient pictures, paintings and archeological
remains probably derived from natural sources. Significant database is not available with
reference to production of colours from natural sources. The colourants can be derived from
leaves, roots, bark, fruits, flowers, trunk of plants and vegetables either in dried or wet form
with tremendous applications and with reduced toxicity. In this article we discuss the use of
dye yielding plants and their application from the land of Ethiopia.

The rhizobia isolated from root nodules of Horse gram [Macrotyloma uniflorum
(Lam.) Verdc.] were screened for their ability of heavy metal (Ni) tolerance. Heavy metal
tolerance studies revealed that the strain HGR-4 have shown significant growth on Yeast
Extract Mannitol (YEM) agar medium containing 1000 µg g-1 of Nickel (Ni). Horse gram
plants associated with HGR-4 have shown Ni stress tolerance in Ni amended soils up to a
concentration of 100 µg g-1. They have shown higher nodulation, nitrogen level and
leghaemoglobin content at 80 µg g-1 of Ni in comparison to control plants (without rhizobial
inoculation). Analysis of biosorption potential of Ni in Horse gram plants inoculated by the
strain HGR-4 using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) revealed maximum biosorption

in both nodules and soil samples. This study demonstrated that the Horse gram plants
associated with rhizobia besides having nitrogen fixing capacity also have shown Ni stress
tolerance and the ability to remove Ni from soils. The strain HGR-4 (GQ483457 Rhizobium
sp. ATCC BAA-2335) could be used for the phytoremediation in the treatment of Ni
contaminated soils upon its association with Horse gram. The study could be of use in
phytoremediation of metal (Ni) contaminated soils in the future.

Curry leaf (Murraya koenigii L.) of the family Rutaceae have long been considered a
premier leafy vegetable with attractive habit and graceful leaves. It is used in fresh, dried and
processed forms for flavoring food stuffs. The species is native to India and Srilanka. It is
extensively used in the indigenous system of medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. Further it is
known to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and diverse pharmacological properties. The
plant is grown presently in the backyards of every South Indian home, but its nutritive value
and medicinal properties have not been fully appreciated. A very common disease in the plant
is leaf spot and powdery mildew so it has gained least attention of researchers. Curry leaf
plants with leaf spot and powdery mildew disease were collected from Mandya district of
Karnataka, India. The pathogen was isolated on Potato Dextrose agar (PDA) from surface
sterilized small pieces of the leaves and twigs, incubated at 25°C, and identified as Rhizopus
and Aspergillus was the cause for the disease according to its morphological and cultural
characteristics and study was done based on colony characters.

Plant terpenoids are used extensively for their aromatic qualities. They play a role in
traditional herbal remedies and are under investigation for antibacterial, antineoplastics, and
other pharmaceutical functions. Plants do not only accumulate terpenes for herbivore defense,
but also emit volatile blends in response to herbivory and many other biotic and abiotic
stresses. These terpene containing volatiles attract natural enemies of the attacking herbivores
but due to the complexity of these volatile blends, it is difficult to attribute a specific function
to a particular terpene. The importance of terpenes in both nature and human application is
difficult to overstate. Basic knowledge of terpene and isoprene biosynthesis and chemistry
has accelerated the pace at which scientists have come to understand many plant biochemical
and metabolic processes. The abundance and diversity of terpene compounds in nature can
have ecosystem-wide influences. Although terpenes have permeated human civilization since
the Egyptians, terpene synthesis pathways are only now being understood in great detail. The
use of bioinformatics and molecular databases has largely contributed to analyzing exactly
how and when terpenes are synthesized. The steroids and sterols in animals are biologically
produced from terpenoid precursors. Sometimes terpenoids are added to proteins, e.g., to
enhance their attachment to the cell membrane; this is known as isoprenylation

Society needs enhanced filters to remove, protect the people and environment. Recent
developments in nanoscale materials have elevated general public. Nanofibers enhance filter
performance for capture of naturally occurring nanoparticles such as viruses as well as
micron-sized particles such as soot from diesel exhaust. Wells (1930) was the first to
hypothesize droplet nuclei transmission of airborne infections in the 1930s. When a
contagious individual coughs or sneezes, numerous droplets containing infectious particles
(bacteria and viruses) are released Chao et al (2009). A facemask is a loose-fitting, disposable
device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and nose of the wearer and potential
contaminants in the immediate environment. They are generally labelled as surgical,
isolation, dental or medical procedure masks and personal air purifiers. They are designed to
protect the wearer from inhaling dangerous substances such as toxic chemicals and infectious
particles. Respirators are designed to help reduce the wearer’s respiratory exposure to
airborne contaminants such as particles that are small enough to be inhaled - particles less
than 100 microns in size.
Nanofibers could be the key elements for filter materials in face masks or respirators.
They have a very high surface area per unit mass that enhances capture efficiency and other
surface area-dependent phenomena that may be engineered into the fiber surfaces (such as
catalysis or ion exchange). They could enhance filter performance for capture of naturally
occurring nanoparticles such as viruses, as well as micron-sized particles such as bacteria or
man-made particles such as soot from diesel exhaust.Nanofibers and nanofiber webs, used in
the filtration and separation of sub-micron sized contaminants is a major concern of modern
day nanotechnology. Nowadays in industrial workplaces the rapid growth of nanotechnology

has increased the production of these engineered nanoparticles. Tasks and processes such as
cleaning engineered nanomaterials from dust collection systems, spills, and disposal can
present a potential for inhalation exposure and a high level of risk. Nanofibrous media have
low weight, high permeability and small pore size that make them appropriate for a wide
range of filtration applications especially for smaller particles. In addition, nanofiber
membranes offer unique properties such as high specific surface area (ranging from 1-100 m2
/g depending on the diameter of fibres and intrafiber porosity), good interconnectivity of
pores and potential to incorporate active chemistry or functionality on a nanoscale Barhate, et
al (2008).Nanofibers do not exist independently in filtration, but are produced onto a
substrate, typically a nonwoven fabric. There are four main types of relevant filtration
mechanism using nanofiber filter media. These are surface straining, depth straining, depth
filtration and cake filtration; Hutten, (2016).Nanofibers masks with disposable non-woven
face mask, non-woven mask for operation room, PM2.5, a N95 and a R95 respirator which
efficiently filter out the PM2.5 particles and simultaneously preserve a good breathability.
Filter efficiency increases as the size of the fibers decreases. In this point nanofibers could be
the key elements for filter materials in face masks or respirators. They could enhance filter
performance for capture of naturally occurring nanoparticles such as viruses, as well as
micron-sized particles such as bacteria or man-made particles such as soot from diesel
exhaust. We believe respiratory protective equipment developments require more research on
advanced nanofibers filtration technology can provide the necessary protection from airborne
threats.
The free radicals are highly reactivity species with very short half-life and damaging
activity towards macromolecules like proteins, DNA and lipids. Dietary plants contain
variable amounts of antioxidants that prevent the oxidation and prolong the life of the
oxidizable matter. The present study was undertaken to determine phytochemical (phenolic
and flavonoids) content and free radical scavenging ability via DPPH radical scavenging

Avicennia marina, Bruguiera cylindrical, Halosarca indica, Rhizophora mucoronata,
Sesuvium portulacastrum, Suaeda martima, Exocoecaria agallocha collected from
Machilipatnam region. Tested extracts showed better DPPH radical scavenging ability at
varying concentration from 102.94 - 373.63 μl/ml compared to the ascorbic acid. Among the
tested plants, the leave extract of Acanthus ilicifolius and Suaeda martima were found to
possess high antioxidant activity. With rigorous investigation on various mangrove plants it
can be anticipated that the natural antioxidants are going to replace the synthetic antioxidants
in the near future.
Environmental pollution is undoubtedly one of the main problems that society facing
today. Various new technologies are constantly being explored for the remediation of
contaminants of the air, water, and soil. Particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides,
herbicides, fertilizers, oil spills, toxic gases, industrial effluents, sewage, and organic
compounds are just a few examples of the many concerning contaminants. The unique
properties of Nanomaterials’ allow removing pollutants from the environment are extremely
small size, typically billionth of a metre, creates a large surface area in relation to their
volume, which makes them highly reactive, compared to non-nano forms of the same
materials. Silver, iron, gold, titanium oxides and iron oxides are some of the commonly used
nanoscale metals and metal oxides. (AgNPs) Silver nanoparticles are significant antibacterial,
antifungal, and antiviral activity, and thus applied as water disinfectants. Silver nanoparticles
of less than 10 nm in diameter were found to be highly toxic to Escherichia
coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and can also prevent viruses glycoproteins from binding to
host cells. Triangular AgNPs exhibiting better antibacterial effects than Ag nanorods and Ag
nanosphere.Carbon based nanomaterials are also employed to remediate contaminants
through photocatalytic approaches promote nanotubes to the generation of valence band holes
(h+). Surface treatments, activation, or functionalization of the pristine carbon material as
Carbon nanotubes; multi-walled & single walled carbon nanotubes significantly used for
environmental remediation applications. The adsorption properties of these materials make
them particularly useful for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from air and from
large volumes of aqueous solution (Kharisov et al (2014), Ren et al., (2011). Graphene oxide

(GO) is an example of modified graphene that has been described for environmental
remediation by adsorption of a variety of gaseous and water contaminants, such as SOx, H2S,
NH3, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals Wang et al
(2013). Nanoparticle such as Ag doped Tio2; Cu/Fe/Ag-doped TiO2; Gold coated with
citosan polymer, Carbon nanotubes/ Al2O3 models that demonstrate efficient removal of some
pollutants were 2,4,6- Trichlorophenol; nitrate; Zn2+, Cu2+ form aqueous solutions; fluoride
Fernanda et al (2018). In addition to remediating pollution, they can be used as sensors to
monitor toxins, heavy metals and organic contaminants in land, air and water environments.
Therefore, nanomaterials due their powerful potential applications to reduce remediation of
contaminants will increase at a great leap in the near future, and it will play a critical role in
sustainable development. Much research is necessary to elucidate the fate of these materials
after introduction to the environment for remediation purposes in order to avoid the
possibility of these materials becoming themselves a source of environmental contamination.
Water is an essential for life and to human existence. Organic organisms are sensitive
to pesticide chemicals and toxic concentrations of excessive spillage of agricultural activities
and several other resources. The ability to predict the effects of pollutants or chemicals on
organisms and to estimate toxicant effects from laboratory to population and community
levels has become a very important factor. The Indian major carp Labeo rohita was exposed
to lethal (1.2µg/l) and sub-lethal (1/10th of lethal) concentrations for 24hrs, 5th and 10th days
of Ethion (50%EC) to examine the SDH and LDH enzymatic activity, in different tissues like
gill, liver, kidney, brain and muscle and control group were also maintained in all the
exposure periods.SDH prevents the transfer of electron to molecular oxygen, resulting the
inhibition of SDH activity and shifting to aerobic metabolism to anaerobiosis.LDH plays a
very important role in carbohydrate metabolism Lactate convert to Pyruvate. The SDH and
LDH enzymes activity levels are increased in all tissues of subleathal concentrations when
exposed 5th and 10th days when compare with controls.
The SDH activity levels in control fish were in order of: Liver>Kidney>Muscle>Gill>
Brain and subleathal: Liver>Kidney>Brain>Muscle>Gill. The activity of LDH in control
fish: Liver>Kidney>Brain>Muscle>Gill, and subleathal: Liver>Kidney>Muscle>Gill>Brain.

Food traceability and authenticity is a primary concern for enhanced safety in trading
and consumer confidence to ensure right and quality food due to socio-economic and health
implications. Identification of commercially mislabelled or deliberately substituted species is
a major challenge in seafood trade industry especially in case of processed raw materials, i.e.
those modified by milling, drying, or extraction, which move through various stages before
reaching the finished product. DNA-based approaches are increasingly acknowledged as
powerful tools for assessing the reliability of seafood labelling of various processed and
semi-processed products. In this direction, DNA barcoding technology based on Cytochrome
oxidase I (COI) was established as a promising technology for sea food traceability and
authenticity. Seafood certification using this technique is an easy, rapid, accurate and cost
effective technology that helps in getting the right food by the consumer. Existence of various
DNA barcode reference libraries (BOLD, NCBI-GenBank, CBOL, Fish-BOL, DDBJ,
EMBL) across all regions of the globe are being maintained by various international agencies
helps in correct identification of species at rapid pace even by a non-taxonomist. In this
paper, the data of several researches are critically analyzed and reviewed in order to exploit
the effectiveness of DNA barcoding in food traceability, and to delineate some best practices
in the application of DNA barcoding. This review highlights the problems raised by the
mislabelling with reference to economic fraud and conservation of threatened species as well.

medicines are used for treating various diseases, most of the drugs show side effects, which
can be sometimes fatal to the end user. Syzygium aqueum also known as watery rose apple or
water apple. Water apple, is one of the underutilized and less studied fruit in India. It is
grown on domestic level mostly in the backyard or in the kitchen garden. Commercial
plantations of Water Apple are rarely seen in India. Recently due to greater awareness and
passion about health and nutrition, people are exploring more dietary options. Watery Apple
is one such fruit getting attention in Indian fruit markets. Water apple has thirst relieving
properties and is consumed raw. This fruit is reported to have health benefits for patients,
suffering from diabetes. Fruits, leaves and bark of this fruit has many medicinal uses like
fever treatment, detoxify the liver, headaches, lower cholesterol, skin conditions and
prevention against certain types of cancers.

The liver performs many vital functions to eliminate toxins and harmful substances
from the body. Hepatotoxic agents can directly interact with the liver through the formation
of reactive radicals and consequently induce liver lesions with the progression of alcoholic
liver disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible hepatoprotective effect of
Foeniculumvulgareagainst ethanol induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. The male and female
rats with an average body weight (245 – 255g) were divided into ten groups as (Group 1 –
Group 5) males and (Group 6 – Group 10) females in each group (n = 6) respectively. The
rats were intoxicated with 30% of ethanol for 30 days. At the start of 31st day the rats (males:

Increasing attention has been given, over the past decades, to the production of
exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Rhizobium radioabcter, due to their various biotechnological
applications. Overall characterization of biopolymers involves evaluation of their chemical,
physical, and biological properties; this evaluation is a key factor in understanding their
behavior in different metal exposed environments, which enables researchers to foresee their
potential applications. Production of exopolysaccharides by Rhizobium has been linked with
efficient nodulation of leguminous plant roots by the bacteria in presense of toxic metal
polutants. The exopolysaccharides produced were analyzed for polysaccharide composition
by column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Further, structure of
polysaccachride was confirmed by HPLC, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. Based on this
spectroscopy results, the polysaccharide produced by Rhizobium sp. was 3 linked β-D-
galactopyronosyl units. The results suggested a heteropolymer structure for these EPS
composed by mannose and galactose as prevailing monomer unit has an approximate
molecular mass of 750 kDa. Knowledge of the Rhizobal - EPS composition now facilitates
further investigations relating polysaccharide structure and dynamics to rheological
properties.

The world of material is rapidly progressing with new technologies and obviously
novel applications in different fields. Nanotechnology is one among these modern and
sophisticated advanced technologies, which is creating waves in the modern times. The
development of eco-friendly and non-toxic processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles is one
of the most important discussed issues in nanotechnology science. The synthesis,
characterization and application of biologically synthesized nanomaterials are in important
aspects in nanotechnology. Biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles has received a
tremendous attention and has been a focus of research due to their high chemical, thermal
stability and promising applications in medicinal field due to its environmental friendly
approach and also low cost techniques. This study reports the green synthesis of silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous extract of leaf, Acanthus ilicifolius, the native
mangrove plant of Machillipatnam - Andhra Pradesh. AgNPs were synthesized by using
1mM AgNO3 solution mixed with leaf aqueous extract. The extract of leaves yielded the
maximum synthesis of AgNPs. Synthesized AgNPs were investigated using UV–visible
spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-
dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Gas
chromatography and Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis. Absorption spectrum in 420 nm
confirmed the synthesis of AgNPs. The results of SEM image showed nanoparticles with a
particle size of 62.13 nm. The XRD pattern of biosynthesized AgNPs suggested that the
particles are in crystalline nature. EDS results confirmed the presence of elements like silver,
carbon, oxygen, silicon, and calcium in the nanoparticles produced from leaf extract. Silver
had the maximum percentage of formation, 41.7%. FTIR indicated the presence of different
functional groups such as amines, alcohol, alkaloids, phenol, nitro compounds, and aromatic
loops in the synthesis process. The Phytochemical compounds present in the leaf extract
through GC-MS analysis showed 10 different bioactive compounds. Green biosynthesis of
AgNPs using aqueous extract of native A. ilicifolius appears rapid, reliable, nontoxic, and
eco-friendly. These results not only provide a green approach, for the synthesis of
nanoparticles but also pave a way for new pharmaceutical leads.

The in situ generated aryne based synthesis of traizines [1,2] is always very attracting
attention in synthetic organic chemistry. Because, this aryne-based methodology is well
recognized as a convenient, one-pot synthetic to a great number of compounds with broad
spectrum of biological activities, alike antiviral [3], antimalarial, cytostatic [4], etc., as well as
their unique fluorescent properties [2]. In the present study, various 5,6-disubstituted-1,2,4-
traizines was treated with anthranilic acid in organic solvents, we got ID aza-Diels-Alder
products (isoquinolines) and domino products (pyrido[1,2-a] indoles) in different ratio of
yields. In case of some reactions, the products were either isoquinolines or pyridoindoles but
not both, based on substitution pattern in starting moiety 5,6-disubtitute-traizine and
anthranilic acid.

A unique method for both HPLC & MS/MS assay was developed for the series of
changes in Daunorubicin and Cytarabine in the plasma of rat. For this a mobile phase of 0.1%
Triethyl amine of pH-2.5 adjusted with Ortho Phosphoric Acid and Acetonitrile in (80:20%)
ratio was used and a positive mode of electrospray ionization detection was carried out using
MS. An isocratic mode using Waters X-Bridge C18 (150x4.6mm, 3.5µm) column was used.
The method was validated with a linear range 0.88-17.6ng/ml of Daunorubicin and 2-40ng/ml
of Cytarabine. The %CV values of intraday, interday precision and accuracy were found to be
within the acceptance criteria. The % recovery of Daunorubicin was 99.5% and Cytarabine
was 98.6% respectively. Using liquid liquid extraction, both the drugs were extracted from rat
plasma. From freeze thaw, auto sampler, bench top and long term stability studies, we found
that the drugs were stable throughout the stability studies. According to United States Food
and Drug administration guidelines, the liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
method was validated successfully. The pharmacokinetic research of Daunorubicin and
Cytarabine in rat plasma was utilized successfully using LCMS/MS.

results were fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation to obtain the fitting coefficients
and standard deviations. Viscosity values used to compute single adjustable interaction
parameters from Grunberg and Nissan, Katti and Chaudhri, Hind et al. and Tamara Kurata
relations. Deviations in thermodynamic properties of the binary mixtures were discussed in
terms of their molecular interactions between the components. Viscosity data correlated with
the McAllister’s three body /four body models, Auslander, and Jouyban-Acree relations for
two and three adjustable parameters for the studied binary mixtures. Viscosity relations like
Kendall-Monroe, Bingham, Arrhenius, and Kendall were used to compare and calculate the
standard percentage deviation, σ(%), between the experimental and calculated viscosity data.
The studied systems shown weak specific intermolecular interactions and the percentage
deviations were in good agreement with the experimental values. Obtained results are useful
in various chemical and industrial processes. Propiophenone is used as a component in some
perfumes and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical and other organic
compounds [1]. Alkoxyethanols are used as additives to gasoline due to their octane
enhancing and pollution reducing properties [2]. Alkoxyethanols find wide use as important
industrial solvents such as scrubbing liquids in the cleaning of exhaust air and gas streams
from industrial production plants. Therefore the study of alkoxyethanols in pure as well as in
aqueous mixtures is significant from both the theoretical and industrial points of view [3].
The Volumetric effects involved in the binary mixtures of normal and branched
alcohols and various components (Aromatics, Halo and Nitro Aromatics & Halo Aliphatics),
some primary alcohols (Methanol, Ethanol, n-propanol & butanol) with the molecular
interactions of unlike molecules. Molecular interactions should be considered to know their
behavior at different mole fractions at different temperatures. This leads to the determination
of physical parameters like density, viscosity and ultrasonic velocity. Literature inspection
provides so many experimental methods for parameters determination. This experimental
data of mixtures were used to calculate the excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations.
These values can be substituted in the Redlich-Kister polynomical equation for correlation.
This review is a condensation of research activities developed in recent years as results of a
better understanding of volumetric behavior and a stronger insight into the complex structure
of those mixtures. This article also provides several applications of the different combinations
of binary liquids containing alcohols.

such as metal cations,anions, and neutral species, has become a major area ofinterest in recent
years due to their significant roles inbiology, industry, and the environment.In specific,the
designing of a sensor for detecting transition metalions has received significant attention
because the transitionmetal ions lead to criticalenvironmental and health
complications.Among the essential heavy metals, Fe in thehuman body plays a vital role in a
number of physiological activities.The World Health Organization (WHO)suggested that the
average daily iron intake from foods and supplements is 16.2 -18.5mg/day.Iron-deficiency

validated for specificity, system suitability, precision, linearity, accuracy, Limit of Detection,
Limit of Quantification, robustness, and Stability and the examine results acquired for all the
approval parameters by this proposed strategy were in reasonable concurrence with ICH
standards. Thus, the developed RP-HPLC method represents another good alternative for the
already existing HPLC methods especially those using certain types of detectors which are
not present in most of the laboratories.
In this paper a simple, accurate and precise RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous
estimation of piracetam and citicoline in synthetic mixture has been developed and validated.
Separation of drugs was carried out using buffer and Acetonitrile with proportion of 60:40
%v/v as mobile phase at 5 min. run time and 265nm. The Rt value for piracetam and
citicoline was found to be 3.158 and 5.196 min respectively. The developed method has been
validated for linearity, accuracy and precision, LOD, LOQ and system suitability according
to ICH guidelines. The low values of LOD and LOQ illustrate that the developed method was
sensitive, accurate and precise as it can detected and quantify with very low concentration.
The low % RSD values below 2 indicate that the method is precise. The above validation
studies revealed that method is specific, rapid, reliable, and reproducible. The high recovery
and low relative standard deviation confirm the suitability of the method for routine
determination of piracetam and citicoline in combined dose products.

The densities (ρ), ultrasonic speeds (u), and viscosities (η) are reported for binary
mixtures of o-chlorotoluene, m-chlorotoluene and p-chlorotoluene with 3-methoxy aniline at
temperature range from (303.15 to 318.15) K and at a pressure p = 0.1 MPa. In addition,
excess functions such as excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility and
deviation in viscosity are calculated from the density, speed of sound and viscosity and the
°E
Redlich – Kister equation, correlates these properties. The excess partial molar volumes, Vm,1
°E E °E
and Vm,2 , and excess partial molar isentropic compressibilities, Ks,m,1 and K s,m,2 of the
components at infinite dilution are calculated. As well, the calculated excess properties were
discussed in terms of influence of chlorine atom on interactions between halo hydrocarbons
and 3-methoxy aniline. Moreover, the VE values have been analyzed with Prigogine- Flory-
Patterson theory and shown that the free volume contribution is the supporting factor for
negative values of excess molar quantities
In a one pot strategy we have achieved an efficient method for the synthesis of
alkyl/aryl thioureas starting from amines. In this strategy thioureas were prepared by
desulfurization of thiocarbomate salt which was formed by reaction of amines with
carbondisulphide. All the reactions were carried out under mild reaction conditions by using
eco-friendly solvents and reagents and the target products were prepared in excellent yields.

In the binary mixtures of ortho-nitro toluene with various functional groups (2-ethyl-
1-hexanol, 3-methyl aniline, and 2,6-dimethyl cyclohexanone) densities, speeds of sound and
viscosities including those of pure liquids were measured over the entire composition range at
different temperatures (303.15, 308.15 and 313.15) K and atmospheric pressure 0.1MPa.
Using this experimentally determined data, the excess deviation parameters (molar volume,
isentropic compressibility and deviation in viscosity) partial molar volumes, partial molar
isentropic compressibilities of these components at infinite dilution were calculated. The
results are discussed in terms the intermolecular forces between the different component
molecules in the binary mixture are more than the average intermolecular forces existing
between the similar molecules of pure components.
Thermo-physical, and excess parameters has a great impact to know the behaviour
and type of molecular interactions exist between the components of binary liquid mixtures at
different mole fractions and temperatures. Densities, viscosities and ultrasonic velocities of
binary liquid mixtures of halo-substituted carbonyl compounds with Alkoxy alkanols have
been measured over the entire composition range and at temperatures
303.15K,308.15K,313.15K and 318.15K. From experimental data, Excessparameters were
calculated. The obtained values were fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The
parameters of excess functions are found sensitivefor the intermolecular interactions between
the binary mixtures. Theoretical values of viscosity of the binary mixtures were calculated
using empirical relations and theoretical equations.The relative merits of these relations and
theories were discussed.

produced significant antidepressant‐like effect in both Tail Suspension Test and Forced swim
test and their efficacies were found to be comparable to Imipramine (15 mg/kg) and
Fluoxetine (20 mg/kg). Drugs that alter general motor activity(3) may give
false‐positive/negative results in the forced swimming test.The effects produced by PPRWE
and Diazepam (1.0mg/kg) upon the open field test demonstrated that these products do not
modify the spontaneous locomotor activity of mice, which indicates that the plant extract
exerts antidepressant effects without modifying significantly this parameter. Therefore, it is
probable that these effects are not related to the stimulation of general motor activity. Results
of this study showed that the administration of the PPRWE produced a diminution of
immobility time of mice(4) exposed to the both forced swimming and tail suspension tests.
Ecliptin alkaloid & Culumbin, a flavonoid present in PPRWE may be facilitating
monoaminergic transmission there by producing antidepressant effects. Harmaline alkaloids
present in Plocama pendula act as reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors and in common
with other beta carboline binds to 5‐Hydroxy Tryptamine receptors. Inhibition of this enzyme
causes a reduction in metabolism and subsequent increase in the concentration of biogenic
amines. The flavonoid components of PPRWE might be interacting with adrenergic and
serotonergic systems in mediating the antidepressant effects of PPRWE. However, the
precise mechanisms by which the extract produced antidepressant‐like effect are not
completely understood. Further studies would be necessary to evaluate the contribution of
active chemical constituents for the observed antidepressant activity.

(trifluoro methoxy) phenylimino) methyl)-4-nitrophenol were synthesized and characterized
by elemental analysis, SEM, Mass, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV–Vis, FT-IR, ESR and magnetic
susceptibility measurements. Based on the analytical and spectral data a square
planar geometry has been assigned to all the metal complexes. DNA binding
properties of these complexes have been explored using electronic absorption spectroscopy,
fluorescence spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. DNA cleavage efficacy of these
metal (II) complexes with super-coiled pBR322 DNA have been investigated by gel
electrophoresis in presence of H2O2 and UV light, and it is observed that all the metal
complexes showed better nuclease activity. The in vitro antimicrobial activity results by
paper disc method against few bacterial pathogens, fungal species have shown that the
complexes are biocidally active than free ligands. Finally the compounds were screened for
antioxidant activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) which was compared with
that of standard drug vitamin-C.

Telomeres are structures found at the end of human chromosomes that contain
thousands of repeats of repetitive TTAGGG DNA sequences which protect genome from
nucleolytic degradation, unnecessary recombination and interchromosomal fusion. Telomeres
therefore play a vital role in preserving the information in genome. As normal cellular
process, a small portion of telomere DNA is lost with each cell division. Telomere length in
humans seem to decrease at a rate of 24.8-27.7 base pairs per year the rate of telomere
shortening can either increase or decrease by specific lifestyle factors. Progressive shortening
of telomeres leads to senescence, apoptosis, or oncogenic transformation of somatic cells,
affecting health and lifespan of individual. Individuals with shorter telomeres seem to have
great risk for development of lung, bladder, gastrointestinal, head and neck cancer, may have
genetic disorder and at a greater risk to develop premature coronary heart disease and
premature aging. An enzyme named telomerase adds bases to the ends of telomeres. It is
present in germline and hematopoietic cells. Telomerase’s are reactivated in most cancers and
immortalized cells. The activation of telomerase represents the most common pathway for
stabilizing telomeres in human cancers. Better choice of diet and activities has great potential
to reduce the rate of telomere shortening or prevent excessive telomere attrition, leading to
delayed onset of age associated disease and increased lifespan.

of pesticides, the exposure of pesticides are two types. Long term pesticide exposure has been
linked to development of Parkinson disease,asthmaand anxiety,attention deficit and
hyperactivity disorder {ADHD}. Short term exposure includes skin rashes, eye irritation and
lethal effects might occur. Man-made toxic chemicals are released into the environment
during production, transportation as well as utilization, and thus pose a threat to living biota.
Therefore the assessment of environmental hazards due to toxic substances is an important
challenge to toxicologists and Eco toxicologists. Pollution is the unfavorable alteration of our
environment, largely because of human activities. Pollutants are substances, which cause
pollution. They might the substances that occur in nature or unnatural substances released
into the environment by human handiwork- ego pesticides, herbicides etc. More pesticides
have been developed and spread across both agricultural and urban landscapes. Thus, it is no
wonder that pesticides or the residues of degraded residue pollute much of our water
resources. The pollution of water resources by (1) the direct application of pesticides to water
bodies to control aquatic plants (2) the indirect pollution of surface waters by air transport
and/or surface water runoff of pesticides and (3) the pollution of groundwater by pesticide
seepage through soil has been well documented since the 1940s.One of the best ways to
remove 97-99% of all pesticides ,insecticides and herbicides from drinking water with a
reverse osmosis or granulated activated carbon system. Buying of organicand locally grown
fruit and vegetables to escape from contaminated of pesticides.

Wheat is one of the mostly used food supplements in many nations across the globe.
The incidence of diabetes is gradually increasing day-by-day. One of the epidemiological
factor associated with the development of insulin resistance in adults as well as in elderly
people is consumption of Triticum aestivum(wheat). This is also a factor influencing the
development of type-2 diabetes. The known cause for the occurrence of celiac disease is the
gluten protein which is a major constitute of the wheat.So,by the mutagenesis of the Triticum
aestivum at the particular sites leads to the development of new variety. This mutagenesis can
be done with the new DNA editing technologies like CRISPR,etc.By this, adverse effects on
diabetes mellitus type-2, celiac disease by the consumption of wheat can be restricted.As
protein intake enriches their health;especially it serves a lot in the diabetic care of the
patients. In this review article, includes the editing of genome of the wheat brings the
acceptable variety with negligible adverse reaction to the body by it’s consumption.

Curry leaf (Murraya koenigii L.) of the family Rutaceae have long been considered a
premier leafy vegetable with attractive habit and graceful leaves. It is used in fresh, dried and
processed forms for flavoring food stuffs. The species is native to India and Srilanka. It is
extensively used in the indigenous system of medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. Further it is
known to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and diverse pharmacological properties. The
plant is grown presently in the backyards of every South Indian home, but its nutritive value
and medicinal properties have not been fully appreciated. A very common disease in the plant
is leaf spot and powdery mildew so it has gained least attention of researchers. Curry leaf
plants with leaf spot and powdery mildew disease were collected from Mandya district of
Karnataka, India. The pathogen was isolated on Potato Dextrose agar (PDA) from surface
sterilized small pieces of the leaves and twigs, incubated at 25°C, and identified as Rhizopus
and Aspergillus was the cause for the disease according to its morphological and cultural
characteristics and study was done based on colony characters.
Black gram (Vigna Mungo L.; Family: Fabaceae) is cultivated in the country form
way back 2200 B.C. Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black
gram. Till date chemical pesticides are commonly used to control the effect of pathogens.
Biopesticides or biological pesticides are better alternatives which are eco-friendly and

equally effective. Black gram is commonly infected by fungal pathogens like : Anthracnose:
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, Bacterial Leaf Blight: Xanthomonasphaseoli, Cercospora
leaf spot: Cercospora canescens, Powdery Mildew: Erysiphe polygoni, Root Rot and Leaf
Blight: Rhizoctonia solani, Rust: Uromyces phaseoli, Macrophomina blight: Macrophomina
phaseolina, wilt: fusarium oxysparum by which the yield is reduced or becomes totally zero
in worst cases. The vermicompost is excellent rich sources of organic pesticide. The main
objective of the present study is isolation, purification, and characterization of antifungal
compounds from actinomycetes of soil samples and vermicompost. Initially samples were
collected from 5 different places in Guntur districts and surrounding area under aseptic
conditions. Actinomycetes and bacteria were isolated fallowing the serial dilution by using
selective media-Actinomycetes isolation media, Nutrient agar media, Potato dextrose agar
media based on pour plate method. Totally 218 micro organism both actinomycetes and
bacteria isolated were tested for biochemical and morphology studies. The best actinomycetes
and bacteria were further analysed for PGP quantitative and qualitative assays such as
phosphatase, cellulase, lipase, protease, chitinase, IAA, Sideophore assays. The best
performed 124 isolates were further to be screened for antibiotic and antagonistic activity
against important fungal pathogens of black gram. Molecular identification, secondary
metabolites extraction, finalised best actinomycetes and bacteria isolates were evaluated in
field trails against the growth of toxic fungal pathogens.

to predict the activity using the QSAR model. Out of many (367), two molecules found to
have good predicted inhibitory values. These analogs of the pyridopyrimidine were docked
into the 3D model of the MAP4K4 kinase domain using Autodock 4.2 software (Morris et al.,
2009) and found to have good binding affinity with the enzyme.
The gut microbiome is not a silent ecosystem but exerts several physiological and
immunological functions. For many decades, lactobacilli have been used as an effective
therapy for treatment of several pathological conditions displaying an overall positive safety
profile. Applications of lactobacilli include kidney support for renal insufficiency, pancreas
health, management of metabolic imbalance, and cancer treatment and prevention. In vitro
and in vivo investigations have shown that prolonged lactobacilli administration induces
qualitative and quantitative modifications in the human gastrointestinal microbial ecosystem
with encouraging perspectives in counteracting pathology-associated physiological and
immunological changes. Finally, we need to determine the adequate amount of bacteria to be
delivered in order to achieve the best clinical efficacy decreasing the risk of side effects. Our
main objective in present study is to reduce the cell size of L.acidophilus which results in
increase of spore count thereby enhancing the productivity in industrial sectors. In order to
get short morphology and high cell densities, the protein source was changed with fixed
carbon source (dextrose) from original MRS composition. The peptone was replaced by soya-
peptone, commercial and Hi Media make. Our results shown that Cells grown in
combinations of Hi Media soy-peptone with dextrose (15/15; 20/10) lowered pH 4.0 and OD
600 to ≈1.8. All results are preliminary up to 10lts, 50 lt’s and small fermentors need scale up
and CFU/ml analysis to establish final composition of mediaCommercial and CSL showed
promising results as compared with all. The cell size observed with above combinations was
50% less compared to rest.

Solid waste is the major pollution from the cities in present days, the management of
solid waste is very important in the environment, if we do not follow proper management
methods that may cause several environmental problems. Tenali city is one of the fastest
developing cities in Andhra Pradesh with population of 164.937 (one lakh sixty four thousand
nine hundred and seven) in 2011 in urban agglomeration, registering a growth of 3% the fast
decade. The city has around 43,593 houses which generate 130 metric tons of solid waste per
day. At present they are not participating any scientific processing and disposal of solid
waste. The solid waste collected is being transported to the cheedelapora disposal site where
is being midiscriminately.The Pollution Control Board (PCB) introduced common facilitator
– EVB Technologies in 2005 to collect bio-medical waste from 100 hospitals in Guntur
district out of which 35 are Tenali city (Annual Report CBWTF, A.P.PCB, 2010). Bio-
medical waste dumped by clinics, hospitals and medical labs and its dump the waste
materials in the drains or near municipal garbage collection point.
