Ten naturally occurring compounds have been tested for molluscicidal activity against the fresh water snail, Biomphalaria alexandrina and the white garden snail, Theba pisana. The role of the synergist, piperonyl butoxide (PB) in improving the efficacy of these chemicals was also investigated. The results showed that thymol was the most effective against B. alexandrina snails, followed by trans...

Abstract The antibacterial activity of crude extract Nigella sative was studied on the some pathogenic bacteria by using paper disc diffusion. tested strains were: Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and psendomonas aeruginosa . results were showed that produced inhibition zone in all ranging from (20 mm) S.aureus MRSA (12 P.aureginusa Some Volatile Oils determ...

Essential oils of the fruits of three organically grown cultivars of Egyptian fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum, Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce and Foeniculum vulgare var. vulgare) were examined for their chemical constituents, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of the essential oils revealed the presence of 18 major monoterpenoids in a...

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) coupled to a microreactor is an excellent tool for the investigation of reactions in solution. Here, we report the first results of our investigations into preparatively interesting electron-transfer-initiated chain reactions in solution which proceed via radical cations as reactive intermediates. The tris(p-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimo...
