The extracts dose of 100, 200, 400 mg/kg body weight were evaluated for analgesic activities using acetic acid induced writhing test and hot plate test in rats. From the results, a longer extraction duration time was observed in soxhlet and maceration than in the microwave extraction by a factor of 240 and 900 respectively. In addition, household microwave extraction showed a much higher extraction rate. The yield obtained by soxhlet extraction method was higher than that of microwave and maceration extraction method, however inhibition of   pain by analgesic compounds extracts from microwave assisted extraction method was improved by 9% and 22% with respect to soxhlet and maceration extraction method respectively. Futhermore, Microwave extract also increased the reaction time of the rat on the hot plate by 3sec. and 7sec. compared to soxhlet and maceration extract as well. Finally, household microwave appear to be an alternative extraction technique for fast extraction of analgesic compounds from Ximenia americana in the laboratory scale. It requires shorter time, less solvent, higher extraction rate and better product with better yield.<#LINE#>@ @ Joshi U., Ware L., Upadhye M., Microwave Assisted Extraction of Crude Drugs, Int. J.

The ligand and complexes were characterized by physico chemical studies like solubility, melting point, elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and spectral studies like IR, UV/VIS spectra. From the data it has been observed that the complexes has the composition of ML2 type  and paramagnetic nature, the complexes were coordinated through azomethine nitrogen and pyrazole oxygen of the ligand which was further supported by the appearance of new bands in IR spectra due to v (M-N) v(M-O) and v(M-Cl) .The ligand and its complexes had been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities against the fungi(Aspergillusniger ,Candida), and the bacteria (E.coli, Salmonella typhi Bacillus subtilis Staphylococcus aureus,) and showed  good antimicrobial activities against the tested bacteria and fungi at 1000,750 and 500 mg/ml. Therefore possible use of the complexes as antibiotic can be suggested.<#LINE#> @ @ Israa A.

Zirconium based ion exchangers have received attention because of their excellent ion exchange behaviour. A bimetallic heteropoly acid salt,cerium zirconium phosphotungstate (CZPT) was synthesized by precipitation method. Chemical composition was determined by EDS method and structural characterizations were done by Thermo gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic analysis etc. UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopic studies were carried out for characterization as well as to study the optical properties. Ion exchange properties were studied by determining ion exchange capacity and distribution coefficients for various metal ions. pH titration studies, effect of hydrated ionic radii and temperature on ion exchange capacities and stability in various media were also studied. The distribution studies revealed that the material is a good scavenger of metal ions such as bismuth, copper, strontium, lead, thorium etc. On the basis of the selectivity pattern, the separation potential of the ion exchanger was explored by carrying out binary separations of metal ions such as Ca2+, Hg2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ from Bi3+on a column of the ion exchanger by using suitable eluents. The eluents were selected after studying the electrolyte effect on distribution coefficients of metal ions. Difference in selectivity towards aluminium and magnesium was used for the analysis of these ions in antacids. The material was found to absorb all the light in the UV region and this knowledge can be utilized for photo stability of pigments by introducing this. In addition to this, it shows electronic and ionic conduction also. Thus the material find promising applications in various fields by combining its ion exchange properties, catalytic activity, electron exchange properties, optical properties, electrical properties, semiconducting properties etc. <#LINE#> @ @ Anish Khan et al, Review on Composite Cation Exchanger as Interdicipilinary Materials in Analytical Chemistry, Int.

The reaction mixture including known quantity of substrate (glucose/fructose), acid and chloramine-T was taken in the vessel and irradiated in the visible light source. The course of the reaction was followed at definite interval by titrating the reaction mixture against standard hypo solution using starch as an indicator. The reaction has a first order dependence on chloramine-T. With excess concentration of other reactants, the reaction rate follows first order kinetics with respect to substrate. The reaction is catalysed by H ions as well. A small salt effect and increase in reaction rate with increasing the intensity of light source is also observed. Addition of p-toluene sulphonamide retards the reaction rate. On the basis of product analysis, a pertinent mechanism is proposed. <#LINE#> @ @ Finar L.L., Organic Chemistry Vol.1:The Fundamental Principles, Sixth Edition (1973) @No $ @ @ Brand Hans, Brand Elzbieta, Goliath Buissness Knowledge on Demand (2002) @No $ @ @ Singh M.P., Singh H.S., Tiwari S.C., Gupta K.C., Singh A.K., Singh V.P. and Singh R.K., Oxidation of D-glucose, D-xylose, D-fructose, L-arabinose and L- sorbose by ammoniacal silver nitrate, Ind.

The samples were fractionated into seven different particle sizes (2000-710, 710-425, 425-150, 150-75, 75-53, 53-38 and 38 m) and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The effect of particle sizes on metal distribution were also assessed using three contamination indices such as enrichment factor (EF), distribution factor (DF) and mass loading (%) for metals. Results revealed that the dust of industrial use was found to have the highest concentrations of Zn (135.1 mg kg-1) and Cu (98.9 mg kg-1) while the heavy traffic road use exhibited the highest concentrations of Cd (0.85 mg kg-1) and Pb (63.6 mg kg-1) in dust samples. The mean concentrations of all the land uses for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in bulk samples were 1.3, 62.3, 44.5 and 99.0 mg kg-1 respectively while the enrichment ratio for the metals in dust of Kathmandu valley were found to be 4.8, 7.3, 2.4 and 3.4 respectively. The concentration of all metals in different particle size fractions was found to be increased with decrease in their sizes indicating the preferential partitioning of metals in fine particle sizes. The enrichment factor revealed a slight to severe degree of enrichment for all the land uses and for all metals with few exceptions. The distribution factor indicated the preferential accumulation of metals in the finest particle fractions (38 m). Similarly, the mass loading (%) for metals showed that the coarse particle size fractions (&#x-1.0;ȃ75 m) contributed more than 50% of all metals to the total concentration of bulk samples.<#LINE#> @ @ Sammut M.L., Noack Y., Rose J., Hazemann J.L., Proux O., Depoux M., Ziebel A. and Fiani E., Speciation of Cd and Pb in dust emitted from sinter plant, Chemosphere, 78, 445–450 (2010) @No $ @ @ Miguel A.G., Cass G.R., Glovsky M.M. and Weiss J., Allergens in paved road dust and airborne particles, Environ Sci Technol, 33, 4159–4168 (1999) @No $ @ @ Government of Canada, In Order Adding Toxic Substances to Schedule 1 to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, Canada Gazette, 135, 1–8 (2001) @No $ @ @ Bargagli R, Trace Elements in Terrestrial Plants: an Ecophysiological Approach to Biomonitoring and Biorecovery Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Germany (1998) @No $ @ @ Hammond P.C., Metabolism of lead, In: Chisolm J.J., O'Hara D.M.

<#LINE#>4-Aryl-1,4-dihydropyrimidines as Potential agents against Congestive Heart Failure: A Review<#LINE#>Priyanka@Pathak<#LINE#>99-106<#LINE#>15.ISCA-RJCS-2014-110.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Chemistry, D.A.V College, Chandigarh, INDIA <#LINE#>14/6/2014<#LINE#>3/7/2014<#LINE#>Owing to great possibilities of biological activities exhibited by pyrimidines and dihydropyrimidines, these are subject of great interest which helps in developing new synthetic routes, with innovative methods and using new technology.  A series of tetrahydropyrimidines were prepared under microwave irradiations which was an efficient, time saving method also resulting in good yield. Tetrahydropyrimidines were converted to S-alky/benzyl-1,4-dihydropyrimidines. The purpose for synthesizing these dihydroprimidines was to design aza-analog of nifedipine. Pharmacological activities were determined for these synthesized compounds where standard drug taken for comparison purpose was nifedipine. The best part came out after screening these compounds for biological activity as these were smooth muscle relaxant, anti hypertensive and can be used in Congestive Heart Failure. These compounds edge over nifedipine in their biological activity as nifedipine cannot be used and if administered for Congestive Heart Failure, it can worsen the condition. <#LINE#> @ @ Atwal K.S., Swanson B.N., Unger S.E., Floyd D.M., Moreland S., Hedberg A and O’Reilly B.C., Dihydropyrimidine calcium channel blockers. 3.3-Carbamoyl-4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-methyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid esters as orally effective antihypertensive agents, J Med Chem., 34(2), 806-811 (1991) @No $ @ @ Rovnyak G.C., Atwal, K.S., Hedberg, A., Kimball, S.D., Moreland, S., Gougoutas, J.Z., O’Reilly B.C., Schwartz J. and Malley, M.F., Dihydropyrimidine calcium channel blockers. 4.Basic 3-substituted-4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid esters.
