Methyl indole derivative of some 6-aryl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones (3a-e) were synthesized by Mannich reaction and evaluated as anticonvulsant against MES (50mA, for 2sec), INH (250mg/kg), scPTZ (80mg/kg) and STR (3mg/kg) induced convulsion methods at 50 mg/kg dose level. All compounds 3a-e were also evaluated as antitubercular agent against M. tuberculosis H37Rv by MABA method. All compou...

-Treating the red alga, Porphyridium cruentum, with the herbicide, SAN 9785, an inhibitor of chloroplastic o~3-desaturation, resulted in a decrease in the proportion of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), especially in monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDG). However, when the eustigmatophyte, Monodus subterraneus, was treated with this herbicide, the proportion of EPA in MGDG surprisingly increased from...
