It is caused by blood fluke, and the rate at which it causes death is alarming in some areas of America, Asia as well as in African countries. It is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) with grave impact on social and economic situation of countries with low sanitation awareness. Thus, the search for lasting solution to this menace, has drawn the attention of many global researchers using phytochemicals from Scilla natalensis via in silico approach. The studied compounds were optimized using Spartan 14. Docking study was executed via Pymol, Autodock tool, Auto dock vina and discovery studio. Compound 9 with –8.2 kcal mol–1 and –9.4 kcal mol–1 as binding affinity proved to possess highest ability to inhibit glutathione S-transferase and thioredoxin-glutathione reductase than other compounds. Also, ADMET properties for compound 9 and praziquantel were explored and reported. Our findings may open the door for the design of novel drug-like molecules with better efficiency.","PeriodicalId":35894,"journal":{"name":"Ecletica Quimica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76142218","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}

Two groups of students (experiment and comparison) from a public senior high school in East Java, Indonesia, were involved. The experimental group experienced the colligative properties of solution with the CIRC teaching approach, while the comparison group experienced the DITM one. We found that scientific literacy and self-regulated learning of students with CIRC are higher than students with DITM, implying the potency of this approach to be applied to other chemistry topics. This study indicates that CIRC could be used to improve students’ scientific literacy and self-regulated learning for other chemistry topics.

The lipid profile of this oil was also obtained by gas chromatography; thermal characterization was performed by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under various heating rates. The composition of the in-nature oil indicates that oleic and palmitic fatty acids are predominant. The DSC analysis under cooling shows that the crystallization phase of this oil is similar to olive oil, and the thermogravimetric results show the thermal decomposition under nitrogen purge gas occurs in only one stage. The activation energy was obtained applying the isoconversional methods proposed by Capela and Ribeiro, Ozawa and Friedman. The obtained kinetics data leads to a dependence on the sample mass and purge gases, which results in several kinetic patterns.","PeriodicalId":35894,"journal":{"name":"Ecletica Quimica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89620419","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}
