It is necessary to assess public awareness and demand for pharmaceutical care in Yenogoa. This study used a sample size of 450 randomly selected respondents not below 18 years of age. Only 21% of the  respondents had the right knowledge about the community pharmacist, while 39% needed the services of the pharmacist before or during drug use. Furthermore, the awareness of availability of pharmaceutical care services in community pharmacies was 3% while 75% of the respondents believed a community pharmacy was just a place drugs can be obtained. As the profession and pharmacists endeavour to  improve knowledge and skill to deliver pharmaceutical care to the society, efforts should be made to increase its awareness and demand. This is imperative for its rooting in Nigeria and ensuring sustained societal professional relevance and mutual benefit.

The  oil was obtained using three different methods, viz: solvent extraction, hot water  extraction and cold expression. The oils were subjected to physical analysis using standard methods. Solvent extraction gave the highest oil yield while cold expression gave the purest oil. Phytochemical analysis of the fruits revealed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, flavonoids, resins, glycosides and acids. Other determined properties were as follows: iodine value (68.56-84.56 g); acid value (5.22 – 6.41 mg); Saponification value (93.97 – 120.62 mg); Ester value (88.36 – 114.21 mg); Peroxide value (18.18 – 32.38 ml); Hydroxyl value (152.2-127.15 mg); Acetyl value (26.23-28.23 mg) and unsaponifiable matter (4.0 – 4.8 %).

Furthermore, the oceans are also the source of chemically inimitable natural products that are mainly accumulated in living organisms.

Several of these compounds show pharmacological activities and are  helpful for the invention and discovery of bioactive compounds, primarily for deadly diseases like cancer, acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome, etc., while other compounds have been developed as analgesics or to treat inflammation, etc. The lifesaving drugs are mainly found abundantly in microorganisms, algae and invertebrates, while they are scarce in vertebrates.

Compressional properties were analyzed using density measurements, angle of repose, Carr’s index and Hausner’s ratio. The mechanical properties of the tablets were assessed using the crushing strength (CS), friability(F) and crushing strength-friability ratio (CSFR) of the tablets, while drug release properties were assessed using disintegration time and dissolution profile. The granules possessed better flow properties than the powder mixtures for direct compression. Paracetamol tablets prepared by wet granulation were harder than those prepared by direct compression as shown by the CS. The evaluation of the release properties showed that the amount of paracetamol released at any given time was higher for tablets prepared by direct compression than those prepared by wet granulation. Thus, wet granulation with carefully selected drug excipients may be a better method over direct compression in paracetamol tablets formulation.

Traditionally, the seeds of A. graveolens L. were used as diuretic, anti-inflammatory and aphrodisiac. The ability to inhibit ACE was evaluated by quantifying the decrease in N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]-L- phenylalanylglycylglycine (FAPGG) peak area at 345 nm using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The antioxidant activities of the extract were determined by evaluating its superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide radical scavenging abilities, ferrous chelating ability, reducing power ability and total phenolic and flavonoid contents. The ACE inhibitory potency of the seed extract (IC 50 = 666.26 ± 1.32 μg/ml) was found to be significant (P<0.01) when compared with the standard lisinopril (IC 50 = 0.19 ± 0.02 ng/ml).

Gentamicin and tioconazole were used as control. The leaves were harvested, dried, pulverized and extracted by process of cold maceration using the polar solvent methanol. The parameters evaluated included phytochemical constituents, extraction yield and antimicrobial activity using agar well diffusion method. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, reducing sugars, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins and cardiac glycosides. The extract was found to have broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity that was comparable to that of gentamicin and tioconazole.
