Epilepsy is a severe neurological illness that affects millions of people the globally and is characterized by unpredicted and intermittent seizures.This research aimed to investigate the antiepileptic and antioxidant properties of papaverine derivatives using in-silico, in-vitro, and in-vivo methods.Epileptic seizure was induced in Swiss albino mice of either gender by administering PTZ (pentylenetetrazol). The antioxidant potential of test compounds was computed using previously published DPPH assay methods with minor modifications, while In-silico experiments were conducted using Auto-dock Vina (1.5.6) software and post dock analysis was completed using Discovery Studio Visualizer. The results showed that both compounds have strong antioxidant potential, with a noticeable change in color when compared to ascorbic acid as a control, and very low mortality when anti-epileptic potential was observed. The development of seizures was greatly delayed at first, but after 30 minutes of PTZ, they were completely gone. Both synthesized derivatives also comply the andquot;Lipinskiand#39;s rule of 5andquot;, which states that after structural alterations, extensive investigations, and trials, the chemical products would be evaluated for epilepsy management in the future In-silico investigations demonstrated that ligands with sufficient hydrogen bonds, pi-pi bonds, and Vander-Waals forces have a suitable propensity to engage with the binding pocket of selected protein targets. The current investigation of papaverine derivatives and their binding affinities against gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) protein may have a vital function in epilepsy aetiology, according to the results of the studies.

This study reports the development and validation of a fast, efficient, and cost effective multiresidue method for determination of 14 lipophilic and analytically problematic pesticides in crude cottonseed oil. Crude cottonseed oil contains high amount of saturated fatty acid and pigments that are problematic in pesticide residues analysis. Modified liquid-liquid partitioning with acetonitrile and n-hexane in 10:1 (v/v) ratio was used to extract pesticides. For clean-up, different combinations of sorbents were used and optimum recovery and minimal matrix effect were obtained with the combination of activated charcoal and primary secondary amine for the selected pesticides. For majority of the analyzed pesticides, the method validation parameters i.e. percent recovery (71.6-140.0%), precision (%RSD 9.7 to 33.0), LOD (0.041 to 0.096 and#181;g/g), LOQ (0.125-0.264 and#181;g/g), linearity (0.998-0.999) and matrix effect (and#177;27%) were in acceptable range as prescribed by EU SANTE guidelines. Two-way Analysis of variance of inter-labs comparison study revealed non-significant interaction effects for most of studied pesticides indicating that the current method can be confidently used in labs for monitoring of these pesticides in crude cottonseed oil.

In recent years, the environmental pollution caused by organic dyes has become more and more serious, so the removal of organic dyes has been paid more and more attention. In this work, ZnSe/CoSe was synthesized by hydrothermal method, and the activity of the composite photocatalytic materials was detected by visible light catalytic degradation of methylene blue. The nanocomposites were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet Diffuse Reflection Spectrum (UV-Vis), Brunner−Emmet−Teller Measurements (BET), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The catalytic effect was the most obvious when the composite ratio was 1:7.5, with the removal rate reaching to 99.4 % of 20 mg/L MB within 120 min of visible light irradiation. Therefore, ZnSe/CoSe has a broader application prospect due to its high efficiency and low price.

Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal mushroom of family Ganodermataceae. It is found in Japan, China, Pakistan and some other parts of Asia. It is reported to exhibit numerous pharmacological properties. In Pakistan this mushroom inhabits areas with different soil and climate conditions which may affect its chemical composition and biological activity. In this context, this study was aimed to investigate the chemical constituents and cytotoxicity of wild growing Ganoderma lucidum from two different localities of Pakistan, Bhawalpur, Punjab (GI-X) and Nawabshah, Sindh (MI-X). These yielded an oily residue (R-GI-X; 2.3 g) and (R-MI-X; 20 g) on extraction with petroleum ether at room temperature. Their cytotoxicity was determined for oral adenosquamous carcinoma (CAL-27) and non-small-lung cancer (NCI-460) cell lines. Only R-MI-X showed toxicity for these cell lines and CAL-27 cells were found more sensitive (IC50 35.68 and#181;M) than NCI-H460 cells which were moderately sensitive (IC50 95.50 and#181;M). R-GI- X was not active for these cell lines. Fractions R-GI-X and R-MI-X contained 40 and 22 compounds respectively. Common compounds were mainly saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and their esters. A major difference was the presence of two ergosterols, 5, 6-dihydroergosterol and (20E)-3-(acetyloxy) ergosta-9(11),20(22)-dien-6-yl acetate in MI-X which may be responsible for its antiproliferative activity as many ergosterols are reported to possess anti-cancer activity against various cell lines.

In this work, silver nanoparticles (Ep-AgNPs) were synthesised using Echinacea pallida (Nutt.) Nutt. The dried leaves of E. pallida were collected and heated at 55 and#176;C in deionized water, and filtered, and the leaf extract was treated with AgNO3 to produce the Ep-AgNPs. The Ep-AgNPs were analyzed by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The characteristic hydroxyl gave the peak at 3147 cm-1. In UV-Vis analysis, observation of absorption band at 468 nm proved the achievement of Ep-AgNPs synthesis. SEM analysis presented the spherical shape of nanostructures with an average size of 77.82 nm. The face-centered crystal structure of Ep-AgNPs was revealed by the XRD analysis. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH•) scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2and#39;-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation (ABTS•+) assays were employed for antioxidant study in which Ep-AgNPs exhibited excellent antioxidant effect. Ep-AgNPs displayed outstanding DPPH• activity (6.34, IC50, and#181;g/ml) compared to the standard BHT (10.78, IC50, and#181;g/ml). The high activity was observed for ABTS•+ and reducing power assays as well. Hence, Ep-AgNPs could be a valuable material for the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Current investigation was focused to determine the biological effects of Selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) in mice. Se NPs (50mg/ml saline/Kg body weight) were intraperitoneally injected to 5 week old albino mice (N = 22) for 14 days. Control group was intraperitoneally injected with saline water (N = 22). In all subjects, a series of neurological tests, hematological parameters and markers of oxidative stress in vital organs were determined. We are reporting that rota rod and open field test performance remained unaffected in Se NPs injected mice when compared with saline treated controls. Male mice injected with Se NPs had significantly less line crossing (P = 0.02) while performing light dark box. They approached object A less frequently (P = 0.02) and spent lesser time with it (P = 0.001) during novel object recognition test (trial 1). % lymphocytes were significantly reduced (P = 0.03) in these mice while % monocytes were higher than control (P = 0.03). Concentration of cholesterol (P = 0.02) and LDL (P = 0.003) was significantly decreased in male mice. Female Se NPs treated mice spent less time (P = 0.05) with B object in trial 1 and 2 (P = 0.04) of novel object recognition test. They had significantly reduced cholesterol level (P = 0.02) and significantly increased catalase activity in the liver (P = 0.01) than control. Remaining parameters of behavior, blood chemistry and markers of oxidative stress from vital organs were non-significantly different upon their comparison between Se NPs and saline injected mice.

They approached object A less frequently (P = 0.02) and spent lesser time with it (P = 0.001) during novel object recognition test (trial 1). % lymphocytes were significantly reduced (P = 0.03) in these mice while % monocytes were higher than control (P = 0.03). Concentration of cholesterol (P = 0.02) and LDL (P = 0.003) was significantly decreased in male mice. Female Se NPs treated mice spent less time (P = 0.05) with B object in trial 1 and 2 (P = 0.04) of novel object recognition test. They had significantly reduced cholesterol level (P = 0.02) and significantly increased catalase activity in the liver (P = 0.01) than control. Remaining parameters of behavior, blood chemistry and markers of oxidative stress from vital organs were non-significantly different upon their comparison between Se NPs and saline injected mice.","PeriodicalId":17253,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the chemical society of pakistan","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70706311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eruca sativa is a wholesome yearly shrubbery herb in Saudi Arabia. Eruca sativa leaves are a conventional food and are consumed raw in salads. The present research reports the phytochemical analysis, in-vitro anti-lipid peroxidation, total anti-oxidant capability, cyclooxygenase-1, and -2 (COX1 and COX2) inhibition activities of Saudi Eruca sativa leaves water decoction (EWD). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of EWD revealed seventeen constituents of six different chemical groups: phenolics (23.60%), aromatic and aliphatic esters (16.97%), terpenoids (31.91%), heterocyclics (14.83%), sulfur containing organics (11.25%), and silyl compounds (1.44%). The presence of Astaxanthin (1.96%), Clionasterol (12.81%), Ingol-12-acetate (4.77%), and Phytol (12.37%) in EWD indicated that the decoction technique was effective in extracting thermostable terpenoids. This research is the first report on Eruca sativa unraveling the thermostable phytochemicals. The EWD exhibited a straight-line relationship between liver lipid peroxidation inhibition and 150 to 400 μg/ml concentrations. The % anti-lipid peroxidation effect produced by EWD and Quercetin was statistically significant. At the highest 400 μg/ml dose, EWD exhibits 68.46 and#177; 0.01% anti-lipid peroxidation activity. The demonstrated IC50 of EWD and Ascorbic acid concerning the total anti-oxidant capability is 217.90 μg/ml and 74.91 μg/ml. The in-vitro assay protocols delineated the modes of inhibition of the biological oxidation processes by Eruca sativa, indicating transfer of hydrogen ion and metal ions reduction. The COX inhibitory potential was screened using Ellmannand#39;s reagent. The IC50 values for COX1 and COX2 inhibitions were 152.31μg/ml and 146.4 μg/ml, respectively, indicating that EWD has a potent COX inhibitory potential compared to Indomethacin. The COX2/COX1 ratio of inhibition, less than one, suggested that EWD phytochemicals would be preferential inhibitors of COX2. The current investigation justifies Eruca sativa leaves as a beneficial health food by establishing the chemical composition of water decoction that contributed to the anti-oxidant and COX inhibition activity.

In this paper, a valinomycin-functionalized nano-sized magnetic solid-phase extractant (VFE) with the core-shell structure and the Fe3O4 nanospheres as the core is prepared. Related performances are characterized and tested by SEM, PPMS, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, EDS, ICP-MS, and AAS. The optimal extraction conditions are obtained, namely, temperature 50 and#176;C or higher, pH not less than 9.3, and equilibrium extraction time about 35 min. Recycling performance experiments show that the extraction ratio of rubidium ions after 5 extraction-elution cycles is still up to 85.3%. Extraction experiments with the simulated brine, industrial wastewater, and domestic wastewater show that the VFE exhibits good selective extraction ability for rubidium ions in these water systems. This research is expected to provide a new method or a new material for the separation, extraction, enrichment, and detection of rubidium ions in water systems.

A simple method for the simultaneous determination of four bioactive components (puerarin, daidzein, baicalin, and wogonin) in composite preparations by microemulsion capillary electrophoresis with UV detection has been developed for the first time. A running buffer composed of 8% acetonitrile + 4% microemulsion(3.24% n-heptane + 13.24% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) + 26.44% n-butanol + 57.08% distilled water in weight ratio) + 20 mM borax solution was found to be the most suitable for this separation. The limits of detection for four analytes were over the range of 0.50 - 1.2 μg ml-1. In the tested concentration range, linear relationships (correlation coefficients: 0.997 for baicalin, 0.997 for wogonin, 0.998 for daidzein and 0.999 for puerarin) between the peak areas and the concentrations of the analytes were obtained. This method has been successfully applied to simultaneous determination of the four bioactive components with recoveries from 94.6 to 106.3%.
