tlc screening and evaluation of antioxidant, antibacterial activity of onopordon macrocephalum by bioautography methodonopordon known as scotch thistle is a medicinal plant of the asteraceae family that is widely distributed in europe and asia, also it has many valuable medicinal properties as hypotensive and antitumor. thin layer chromatography (tlc) is wildly used in natural product extract a...

In the present work the pharmacological activities of SFE extracts from T. catharinensis were evaluated. The SFE extracts were obtained using supercritical CO2 plus ethanol as cosolvent (4.6 and 9.2% m/m) at pressures of 250 and 300 bar and temperatures of 35, 45, and 55oC. The crude extracts were solvent-fractionated (hexanic fraction, alkaloid, and aqueous fractions) and analyzed by Thin-laye...

The pharmacotherapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) includes the use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI). Recent investigations for novel AD therapeutic agents from plants suggested that Tabernaemontana genus is a promising source of novel anticholinesterasic indole alkaloids. In this work two fast screening techniques were combined in order to easily identify novel cholinesterase inhibitor...

Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the hydrodistilled essential oils from aerial parts and roots of Aster subulatus Michx. (Asteraceae) from Turkey were investigated. The essential oils of A. subulatus were analyzed by combination of GC-FID and GC-MS. Twenty-nine components comprising 79.0% of the essential oil of the roots and forty-nine components comprising 89.3% of the essen...

gc-fid and hplc-dad were developed for determination of menadione (mn) and menadione sodium bisulphite (msb). by means of each method, quantitative analysis of msb in commercial pharmaceutical was performed in both direct analysis of msb and analysis of mn by converting msb to mn with sodium carbonate. gc-fid method was carried out on the hp-5 capillary column using nitrogen gas. hplc-dad metho...

Increased encephalization has been linked to a range of behavioural traits and scenarios. However, studies of whole brain size in this context have been criticised for ignoring the role of specific brain areas in controlling behaviour. In birds, the response to potential threats is one such behaviour that may relate to the way in which the brain processes sensory information. We used a phylogen...

GC-FID method was carried out on the HP-5 capillary column GC-FID and HPLC-DAD methods were developed for determination of menadione (MN) and menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB). By means of each method, quantitative analysis of MSB in commercial pharmaceutical using nitrogen gas. HPLC-D...

Correspondence result that FRC TLC and RV TLC ratios are disproportionately elevated. We have speculated about the infl uence of erroneously elevated volume ratios on the interpretation of published COPD outcome studies. For example, Fessler et al 2 developed a model in which plethysmographically measured RV TLC ratios predicted improvement in FEV 1 following lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS...

BACKGROUND Flow-induced regulation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) depends on integrin signaling and tyrosine kinase activation. Integrins cluster in focal adhesion complexes, where the extracellular matrix is connected to the cytoskeleton and where focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is located. FAK plays a central role in integrin signaling and Src activation. Accordingly, we hypothesized that FAK ...

A temporal logic of causality (TLC) was introduced by Alur, Penczek, and Peled in [1]. It is basically a linear time temporal logic interpreted over Mazurkiewicz traces which allows quantification over causal chains. Through this device one can directly formulate causality properties of distributed systems. In this paper we consider an extension of TLC by strengthening the chain quantification ...
