Both plant extracts effectively reduced the Naja mossandica venom induced hemolytic activity. The result reveals that hemolysis due to venom was 81.5% without extract but the heomolytic activity was drastically reduced by Ficus iteophylla miq and Borassus aethiopum plant extracts to 41.9% and 61.7% respectively. Pharmacological activities like coagulant, packed cell volume (PCV) and phospholipase A were significantly neutralized by both plants extracts. The activity of phospholipase A decreases from 600mol/min to 267mol/min and 400mol/min by the Ficus iteophylla miq and Borassus aethiopum plant extracts respectively. The investigations revealed that Ficus iteophylla miq and Borassus aethiopum plant extracts posses potent snake venom neutralizing activity. This finding will provide an alternative ways to inhibit venom toxins in snakebite victims and may provide supplemental treatments to serum therapy. <#LINE#> @ @ Paramonte B., Snake bites in Nigeria, medicine journal of therapeutic Africa, University of the Science in Philadalphia USA, 1(3), 222-227 (2007) @No $ @ @ Sakai A, (clinical feature of envenomation bythe snake, Yamakagashi Rhabdophis tigrinus), Chudoka kenkyu, 20(3), 235-243 (2007) @No $ @ @ Maya Devi C., Vasantha Bai, Mary Vijayan Lal, Arthur Umashankar, Krishnan P.R. and Lissy K., An improved method for isolation of antiviper venom antibodies from chicken egg yolk-journal of Biochemical and Biophysical, (2002) @No $ @ @ Pereira N.A., Parina B.M., Do-Nasamento C.M., Pevente J.P. and More W.B., PharmacoIogical Screening of plants recommended by folk medicina as snake venom antitode, Plant Med., 60(2), 99-100 (1994) @No $ @ @ Alam M.I., Audy B. and Gomes A., Viper venom neutralization by medical plants Hemidesmus indicus and pluchae indica root extract, phytotherapy Research, 10, 58 (1996) @No $ @ @ Chatterje I., Chakrayarty A.K. and Gomes A., Antisnake venom activity of ethanolic seed extract of strychnos nux vomica linn, Indian Journal of experimental Biology, 42, 468-475 (2004) @No $ @ @ Dougterty W.M., Introduction to hematology (Second edition), The C.V.

Plackett-Burman is a specialized design for 2 to 31 variables where each variable can be varied over two levels. The lower and upper limits of eleven variables stated above were identified from the literature. The variables with their operational range were processed in Plackett-Burmandesign software until a point where the design matrix evaluation for factorial main effect model was obtained. All trials were performed in triplicate and citric acid yield hs been treated as response variable. The main effect of each variable was calculated as the differencce between the average of measurements made at the high setting(+) and at the low setting(-) of that factor. The six variables; Initial sucrose concentration, initial pH, stirrer speed, incubation time, fermentation temperature and O2 flow rate were found to be the most influencing parameters on the yields of citric acid.<#LINE#> @ @ Shojaosadati S.A. and Babaeipour V., Citric Acid Production from Apple Pomace in ulti-Layer Packed Bed Solid-State Bioreactor, Process Biochem., 37, 909 (2002) @No $ @ @ Manonmani H.K. and Sreekantiah K.R., Studies on the Conversion of Cellulose Hydrolysate into Citric Acid by Aspergillus niger, Process Biochem., 1, 92 (1987) @No $ @ @ Rohr M., A Century of Citric Acid Fermentation and Research, Food Technol.

The rate of decolorization of dye was investigated under various parameters such as catalyst dose, concentration of dye, pH of the solution, light intensity and dissolved oxygen was systematically studied. The heterogeneous photocatalyst MBIR Dowex 11 is cheap and a very good alternative to replace costly traditional treatment technologies for industrial application. The size of catalyst particle is 20-50 mesh can filter easily. The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of the dye was found to follow pseudo first-order kinetics according to Langumuir-Hinshelwood model. The results showed that the dye removal efficiency found 98% after 160 min of reaction time. The possible reaction mechanism and recycle study of catalyst are also discussed. <#LINE#> @ @ Ladakowicz L., Solecka M. and Zylla R. and Biodegradation, Decolorization and Cesses, J.

Reversed-phase chromatography was performed on Shimadzu Model CBM-20A/20 Alite, equipped with SPD M20A prominence photodiode array detector using C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 m particle size) column with acetonitrile: tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate (80:20, V/V) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. with UV detection at 233 nm. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 1.0–200 g/mL (R = 0.999) with regression equation y = 10691 x + 98237. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) were found to be 0.812 and 0.268 µg/mLrespectively. The forced degradation studies were performed by using HCl, NaOH, H etc. Bendamustine hydrochloride is more sensitive towards elevated temperatures (80ºC) in comparison to acidic and oxidative conditions but very much resistant towards alkaline conditions. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The RSD for intra-day (0.14-0.32) and inter-day (0.47-0.66) precision were found to be less than 1 %. The percentage recovery was in good agreement with the labeled amount in the pharmaceutical formulations and the method is simple, specific, precise and accurate for the determination of Bendamustine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations. <#LINE#> @ @ Neil M.J.O’., The Merck Index, Merck Research Laboratories, Whitehouse Station, NJ (2006) @No $ @ @ Friedberg J.

These compounds are potent inhibitors of MT with K values of 9.07 x 10, 1.68 x 10 M-1 for I and II, respectively. The MT inhibition is related to the chelating of the copper ions at the active site by a negative head group (S-) of the anion xanthate. Different K values for MT inhibition are related to different interactions of the aliphatic chains of I and II with hydrophobic pockets in the active site of the enzyme. The obtained results indicate that there are two identical and non-cooperative binding sites for both xanthates. The extended solvation theory was used to elucidate the effect of these xanthates on the stability of enzyme. These compounds are potent inhibitors of MT with association equilibrium constant () values of 9.0710 and 1.68×105 L.mol-1 for I and II, respectively. Different K values for MT inhibition are related to different interactions of the aliphatic chains of I and II with hydrophobic pockets in the active site of the enzyme. It is possible to ascribe the values of A and for I and II to the type of inhibition. The obtained results indicate that there are two identical and non-cooperative binding sites for both xanthates. <#LINE#> @ @ Sánchez-Ferrer A., Rodríguez-Lopez J.N., Garcia-Canovas F. and Garcia-Carmona F., Tyrosinase: a comprehensive review of its mechanism, J.
