This study assessed the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects of its water extracts on inflammation and nociception in rats.... Continue here

Probing The Binding Sites, Global Energy And Molecular Interactions Between Ponatinib, Cabozantinib And Sunitinib Anticancer Drugs With Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Global Energy, binding sites and molecular interactions between ponatinib, cabozantinib and sunitinib anticancer drugs with vascular endothelial growth factor was probed to find the best binding energy at the active site. The structures of ponatinib, cabozantinib and sunitinib were drawn and constructed using window based program of ArgusLab and ACDlab ChemSketch... Continue here

Determination Of Antibacterial Activity Of Essential Oils From Mint (mentha Spicata) Leaves On Selected Pathogenic Bacteria
Drug resistant pathogenic microorganisms account for the highest proportion of death today. This study was aimed at extracting essential oils (EOS) from mint. Sensitivity tests of selected pathogenic microorganism were also carried out. EOS were extracted using distillation method. Phytochemical screening of the essential oils for the presence of tannins,... Continue here

Antidepressant Effects Of The Hydro-alcoholic Extract And Fractions Of Anchomanes Difformis (blume) Engler Rhizome (family Araceae) In Mice
In ethno-medicinal practice in the South-western part of Nigeria, the rhizome of Anchomanes difformis is claimed to be effective in the management of mental illness. This study determined the antidepressant effects of hydro-alcoholic extract and fractions of Anchomanes difformis rhizome and the likely mechanisms of action of the extract and the most active...

A Comparative Qsar Analysis, 3d-qsar, Molecular Docking And Molecular Design Of Iminoguanidine-based Inhibitors Of Hemo: A Rational Approach To Antibacterial Drug Design
QSAR models of 25 iminoguanidine derivatives with inhibitory HemO were developed. The QSAR model was built by using DFT-MLR and the best QSAR model has R2, Q2 values of 0.6569 and 0.5493 for cross-validated and non-cross-validated. The predictive ability of QSAR model was further validated by a test set of 7 compounds, giving R2pred value of 0.7123. 3D-QSAR and... Continue here
