Reaction of (1) with one equivalent of the bidentate ligands (L-L);  Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2, (n=1 dppm; 2 dppe; 3 dppp; 4 dppb), Ph2P(S)(CH2)P(S)Ph2 (dppmS2)  Ph2P(O)CH2CH2P (O)Ph2 (dppeO2), bipyridine (bipy) and phenanthroline (phen) afforded tetrahedral complexes of the type [Hg(K1-Sac-CH2O)2(L-L)]. The reaction with two equivalents of the monodentate ligands (L); Ph3P, Ph3PO, Ph3PS or pyridine (py) gave [Hg(K1-Sac-CH2O)2L2]. The N-hydroxymethylsaccharinate anion acts as a monodentate ligand to the mercury center through the hydroxymethyl oxygen atom. The complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The thermal decomposition of six of the prepared complexes were studied using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). [Hg(K1-Sac-CH2O)2(bipy)] showed a higher thermal stability.<#LINE#>Baran E.J. and Yilmaz V.T. (2006).@Metal complexes of saccharin.@Coord. Chem.

Multidrug resistance and the undesirable side effects of synthetic drugs underscore the need to search for alternatives from plants using bioassay guided technique. The hexane, dichloromethane, acetone and methanol stem bark extracts were screened for antibacterial activity. Relatively active acetone and methanol extracts were further analyzed for phytochemical contents and antioxidant property using standard methods. Results of the antibacterial screening indicates that the acetone extract had the best antibacterial property against Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with inhibition zones ranging from 14.00±1.00 mm – 17.00±1.73 mm. Additionally, E. faecalis and E. coli had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 0.39 mg/mL and 0.20 mg/mL respectively indicating moderate activity but weak on Staphylococcus aureus with MIC of 13.88 mg/mL. The quantitative phytochemical analysis of acetone and methanol extracts indicated 0.528±0.02 mg GAE/g and 0.650±0.85 mg GAE/g total polyphenol respectively. The acetone extract also yielded 0.500±0.017 mg RE/g of total flavonoids while the methanol extract gave 0.253±0.006 mg RE/g of total flavonoids. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test for the crude extracts revealed similar antioxidant activity comparable to that of ascorbic acid standard and concentration dependent. The observed biological activities indicated the presence of bioactive phyto-constituents. The study therefore supports the therapeutic use of Entada africana as a herbal remedy in traditional medicine.<#LINE#>Egwaikhide P.A., Okeniyi S.O. and Gimba C.E.

In this study, ceiling fan dust samples were collected from residential buildings of 5 core areas of Kathmandu viz., Basantapur, Nayabazar, Bhotahity, Bagbazar and Kirtipur (reference). The collected dust samples were analyzed for the concentrations of Cd, Zn, Ni and Cu using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Metal concentrations indicated that ceiling fan dust from all the sampling sites contained high levels of heavy metals compared to reference site. Results revealed that Bagbazar site was found to have the highest accumulation of all the metals and Basantapur recorded the lowest concentrations in dust samples. In all the sampling locations, the metal accumulations were obtained in abundance following the order as Zn > Cu > Ni > Cd. The average accumulations of all the sampling sites for Cd, Zn, Ni and Cu in dust samples were 0.77, 423.68, 29.04 and 244.08 &#956;g/g respectively while the enrichment factor indicated a slight to excessive degree of metal enrichment. The correlation analysis showed the similar sources of contamination to metal levels in indoor dust. A regular monitoring is suggested for indoor environmental status in urban areas of Kathmandu.<#LINE#>Banerjee A.D.K.

Nickel and its compounds can be found in earth crust, windblown dust, volcanic eruptions as natural sources and many in anthropogenic sources. There are many sources responsible for the nickel emission to atmosphere. Nickel and its compounds are used in various industrial and consumer products therefore the presence of Ni can be found in almost all the environmental matrices. Nickel fumes and some volatile compounds of nickel make it an important occupational pollutant. Nickel and its compounds are known human carcinogens.
