Extract of the leaves of Gueira senegalensis was tested for its antimicrobial activity against Stemphylium solani, Aspergillus flavus, Trichoderma viride, Penicillium Spp., Fusarium verticillatum, Cladosporium cladosporioides, and Fusarium solani. This review showed that Gueira senegalensis leaves extract has no inhibition activity against all of the tested fungal strains. On the other hand, the toxicity test, which was conducted by using brine shrimp, suggests that Gs leaves extract is apparently not toxic. The phytochemical screening revealed that Gueira senegalensis leave extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannin, carbohydrates, proteins, steroids, and saponins. The results of this preliminary investigation suggest that the medicinal plant extract may be safe to use as a drink for treatment of various diseases as has been practiced for years in the villages of Western Sudan. More research is needed to investigate if there is any side effect when the extract is taken orally. Further, the medicinal properties of the phytochemical compounds of Gueira senegalensis need to be further investigation.","PeriodicalId":15344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of chemical and pharmaceutical research","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80574473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The seeds of the plant have a long history of use in different frameworks of medicines and food. N. sativa seed reveal a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities including immunopotentiation and antihistaminic, antiseptic, antiallergic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. It is known as a source of thymoquinone, thymohydroquinone, dithymoquinone, p-cymene, carvacrol, 4-terpineol, t-anethol, sesquiterpene longifolene, nigellicimine and nigellicimineN-oxide, α-pinene and thymol etc. Additionally, this is uncovered that the majority of therapeutic properties of this plant are due to the presence of thymoquinone (TQ) which is a major bioactive component of the essential oil. The incalculable medicinal properties and therapeutic uses of N. sativa prove its importance as a valuable medicinal plant. The aim of this review is to summarize some important pharmacological studies and phytochemical investigations on N. sativa and isolated principles which can be investigated further to get novel molecules in the search of novel herbal drugs.","PeriodicalId":15344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of chemical and pharmaceutical research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73262512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Responding to this challenge, national and international decision-makers are seeking new strategies to diversify the energy mix of their home countries and arrange for a more sustainable production. Brazil has vast amounts of untapped renewable resources with a number of advantages over developed countries. However, the role that renewable energies plays in the Brazilian market is still quite small (except for hydro power). Drawing from the German example, this paper aims to develop a guideline for a Brazilian incentive program that encompasses the so far neglected photovoltaic technology, and takes into account the country’s peculiarities. It highlights the potential and advantages that Brazil might have regarding gridconnected photovoltaic systems and makes a study of grid parity. This study was developed trough scenarios that identify when, how and in which regions of the country, photovoltaic generation would be competitive with conventional generation. The grid parity study of photovoltaic technology in Brazil was compared to a similar study developed in Europe. It showed, no matter the current cost of photovoltaic technology, it can be competitive with conventional generation in 2020 at the sunniest regions of Brazil, considering the worst scenario.","PeriodicalId":15344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of chemical and pharmaceutical research","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83438003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis is a substantial marker for oxidative stress, for future glutathione based methodological researches on the progressive BLM toxicity in lungs, it is very valuable to show that the toxic mechanism. We investigated the dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis in a rat model with BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis. BLM (5 mg/kg) or saline was injected into the lungs as 0,1 ml by insuline syringe that inserted into gently opened trachea of anesthetized rats. Native thiol (SH), total thiol (total SH), and disulphide (SS) levels were measured in rat serum at pre-treatment, 24th hour, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 14th, and 28th days of BLM treatment, with a novel automated method recently described. The levels of native SH and total SH in BLM group were decreased at 24th hour and this reduction were gradually continued up to 28th day when compared with pre-treatment BLM and/or the saline control group. On the other hand there were significantly a high ratio in BLM group with %SS/SH at 4th day and %SS/total SH at 4th and 28th days while there was no difference at 7th and 14th days. Results clearly indicate that the thiol/disulphide homeostasis can be acutely disturbed in the experimental model of BLM-induced fibrosis. So this data offer a new modeling option to discuss the therapy strategies and the effect mechanisms of BLM-induced lung toxicity.","PeriodicalId":15344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of chemical and pharmaceutical research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83049181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main criteria for quality of any drug in dosage form are its safety, potency, efficacy, stability, patient acceptability and regulatory compliance.

At the product design and formulation stage the physical, chemical and biological specifications, to which the product must comply with to fulfill quality requirements, have to determine and the target for quality must be set. In-process quality control (IPQC) tests are strongly related to final products quality because checks performed during production in order to monitor and if necessary to adjust the process to ensure that the product conforms to its specification are the key for good quality pharmaceutical tablets. The purposes of IPQC are to produce a perfect finished product by preventing or eliminating errors at every stage in production. After the manufacturing process is complete finished product quality control (FPQC) tests for pharmaceutical tablets are performed with respect to specification of the pharmacopoeias in order to checks that the quality parameters are within acceptance limits or not.
