Abstract: Microorganisms and plants produce different novel compounds such as antibiotic, antitumor, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, etc. Many primary metabolites, such as amino acids, vitamins and nucleotides, which are capable of making secondary metabolites of microbes that, constitute half of the agriculture, industry and pharmaceuticals compounds with many essential products in the market today. -glucosidase inhibitors from the fungal origin would show potential inhibition to -glucosidase enzymes. These enzymes are involved in the breakdown of starch and other molecules containing polysaccharide components, such as the glycolipids and glycoproteins in biological membranes.......

Abstract: Ajmer is located in the center of Rajasthan (INDIA) between 25 0 38 " and 26 0 58 " north 75 0 22" east longitude covering a geographical area of about 8481sq km hemmed in all sides by Aravalli hills . About 7 miles from the city is Pushkar lake created by the touch of lord Brahma. The Dargah of khawaja Moinuddin chisti is holiest shrine next to Mecca in the world. Ajmer is abode of certain flora and fauna that are particularly endemic to semi-arid and are specially adapted to survive in the dry waterless region of the state. Coleoptera. Availability of beetles were more during the night hours and population seemed to be Confined to the light areas.Beetles mean sheathed wings means two pairs of wings are present. Beetles have been Studied for centuries. Following Beetles are recorded in AJMER.

Abstract: In order to evaluate the antioxidant effect of whey protein (wy) as a food supplement, in addition it is antidotal effect against the toxicity induced by environmental pollution. In vitro and In vivo study was carried out. The stability of flaxseed oil .Whey protein emulation was evaluated by Rancimat test. The emulation improved the stability than oil separately for storage period. Biologically, to investigate the prophylactic effect of whey protein against environmental, pollution by lead acetate. Forty eight male albino rats were namely divided into six groups..........

Abstract: well preserved drupaceous fruit is collected from Mohgaonkalan, MP, India a well known Deccan Intertrappean Beds fossiliferous locality belonging to uppermost cretaceous period. The present fossil fruit is small, drupaceous, somewhat triangular fruit. Pyrene with single seed. Air spaces are present in the mesocarp. The fruit wall is divided into three zones, outer epicarp, middle mesocarp and inner endocarp. The reported fossil fruits shows affinities with fruits of Verbenaceae when resemblances are studied in detail at genus level, shows similarities with Premna and Premnocarpon as generic name.

Abstract: Three days old mixed sex juveniles of Nile tilapia (mean weight 0.025 ± 0.009 g; mean length 1.25 ± 0.012 cm) were fed diets containing root powder of Withania somnifera at the concentrations of 0.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 5.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0 and 9.5 g/kg feed for 30 days. Dietary treatment with powdered W. somnifera roots at different concentrations except 8.0 g/kg and 9.5 g/kg showed no significant difference (P>0.05) in survival percentage compared to that in control group. Dietary treatment with W. somnifera root powder caused significant increase (P<0.05) in percentage of males...........

Abstract: Scope of our research is to paving the way for a revival of a very old galenic preparation, that is nort oily or waxy, and so it cannot be baptized as ointment or unguentum. But the Trojan horse is that medical device I ideated (and its modus operandi is quite difficult and artful) is capable to re-establish an optimal viscoelasticity to dermal component of human skin and moisture at niveau of the stratum corneum in pathological cases that are rare and commonly impossible to be treated, as iatrogenic dyshidrosis and the suppurative state of skin when eruptive milia are removed physically from skin in order to obtain a restitutio ad integrum that is perfect and absolutely free from anomalies.

Abstract: We hypothesize that a universal quantitative relation exists between the number of necrotic cells in culture and LDH activity in culture media. Previously this relation was found in immortalised cell lines. We hypothesized that similar correlation exists in normal cells of human origin. We investigated cultured human oseoblast-like cells. LDH activity in the media of cultured samples (n=8) was determined by 340 nm wavelength spectrophotometry. Cell viability was determined using automated cell counter.........

Abstract: Studies have previously attributed P. guajava invasiveness to its aggressive regeneration and profuse seeding. This study, however verified that its allellopathic influence on native plant species also plays an important role in its invasiveness. Extracts from green fresh and brown dry leaves were concentrated to 20%, 10% and 5% with distilled water used as control. Seeds from Markhamia lutea, Diospyros mespiliformis, Cordia africana and Croton megalocarpus; common native species in Kakamega forest, were treated with these extracts in a completely randomised design to determine the extracts impact on their germination, shoot and root elongation. Experiments were replicated 3 times..........

Abstract: Context: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by the presence of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and senile plaques caused due to amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide localization in the brain. Evidence Acquisition: Proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) results in the formation of the Aβ plaques via the sequential action of the β – secretase and γ – secretase enzyme systems. The function of presenilin – 1 (PS-1) as a component of the γ – secretase complex, its modulation of the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) and the action of GSK3β in the Wnt/β – catenin canonical pathway..........

Abstract: A sensitive and specific liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, operating in the positiveionization mode, for quantifying of milnacipran in human plasma using milnacipran-d10 as internal standard (IS) was developed and validated. The analyte and IS were extracted by simple one step protein precipitation (PP). The chromatographic separation was performed on a Gemini C18 column (150 X 2.0 mm, 5 um) under isocratic conditions using a mixture of acetonitrile/0.1% formic acid (50:50, v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.25 ml/min..........

Abstract: A new series of benzylidine-2-imino-6-nitro-1,3- benzothiazole , benzylidine-2-imino-6-methoxy-1,3- benzothiazole and benzylidine-2-imino-6-methyl-1,3- benzothiazole was synthesised by condensation with different aromatic aldehydes. The target molecules were synthesised by using different reaction conditions and greener approach. The products were readily obtained with 70-85 % yield. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by physical, chemical and FT- IR, 1H-NMR, LCMS, etc. spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds were tested against representatives of gram-positive and gram- negative bacteria (staphylococcus aureus and Basillus subtilis. ) by agar diffusion method using Amicacin and Gentamycin as control. The results indicate that the compounds possessed a broad spectrum of activity against the tested microorganisms.

Abstract: Isolation and characterisation of four predominant endophytic bacteria namely, Pencillium sp., Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp. and Cladosporium sp. from different parts of Calotropis procera plant has been conducted in summer season. Among four isolated fungi Alternaria sp. exhibited the highest (33.33%) colonisation frequency followed by Penicillum sp. (16.66 %), Aspergillus sp.(8.33%) and Cladosporium sp. ( 8.33%). The production and evaluation of "green synthesised AgNPs" has been carried out with the use of fungal cell free extract of four endophytic fungi understudy..........
