Effect of Cycloart-24-en-3β-ol from Euphorbia Royleana Latex on Neuroenzyme AChE and Oxidative Metabolism of Freshwater Fish, Channa Punctatus

Abstract: Cycloart-24-en-3β-ol isolated from Euphorbia royleana latex possesses potent piscicidal activity against freshwater predatory fish Channa punctatus. Their short as well as long-term exposure causes significant (P<0.05) time and dose-dependent reversible alteration in the oxidative metabolism of the fish Channa punctatus Cycloart-24-en-3β-ol also shifts fish respiratory pathway, inhibits energy production and AChE activity reversibly may be advantageous for their use as environmentally safe piscicide for controlling the predatory fish C. punctatus population from carp culture ponds.

Toxicity of Some Terpenoids Against Fungi Infesting Fruits and Seeds of Capsicum annuum L. During Storage

Abstract: On mycoflora analysis of dried fruits and seeds of chilli stored for six months, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger were the more frequent out of eighteen fungi isolated. Some terpenoids viz, Citral, Citronellal, Citronellol, Eugenol, Farnesol and Nerol showed absolute toxicity against A. flavus and A. niger at 0.5 per cent concentration. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and nature (fungistatic/fungicidal) of all the terpenoids against both these fungi were determined, Citral, Eugenol and Nerol exhibited a broad range of toxicity and were found to be more efficacious than some synthetic fungicides.

Synthesis, spectral and antimicrobial studies of bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) derivatives with Schiff bases derived from 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole.

Abstract: The reactions of bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) dichloride with Schiff bases derived by condensing 2- amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole with benzaldehyde (SPT), 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (SNT), 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (SMT), 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (SSTH) or 2-hydroxyacetophenone (SATH) have been studied in refluxing tetrahydrofuran and complexes of types [Cp2TiCl(SB)]Cl (SB= SPT, SNT or SMT) and [Cp2Ti(SB')]Cl (SB'H= SSTH or SATH) have been isolated Tentative structural conclusions are drawn for these reaction products based upon elemental analyses, electrical conductance, magnetic moment and spectral (UV-vis, IR and 1H NMR) data Studies were conducted to assess the growth-inhibiting potential of the complexes synthesized, and the ligands, against various fungal and bacterial strains

The Activation Effect of K2SO4 on the Hydration of Gypsum Anhydrite, CaSO4(II)

Abstract: The effect of K2SO4 activator on the hydration of chemical anhydrite obtained from burned FGD-gypsum has been studied by different experimental techniques. Results obtained show that the degree of hydration increases when the K2SO4 concentrations increase from 0.5 to 3.3 wt%. Their heat evolution rate and maximum value also increase with the increase of K2SO4 concentration. The highest values were obtained when the hydration degree was about 50%. Also a correlation between the hydration degree and the total heat evolved was obtained. The X-ray and SEM/EDX studies have shown that K2SO4 is adsorbed at the surface of CaSO4 even within 5 min of hydration and a syngenite—a double salt K2SO4·CaSO4·H2O is formed (even in the presence of 1.0 wt% K2SO4). Also, important changes in the morphology of the dihydrate crystal are detected. Finally, in the presence of 1.0 wt% K2SO4 (water/anhydrite (W/A) ratio=0.33), it was found that the resonance frequency, modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, and tensile strength increase with the degree of hydration whereas the total porosity decreases.
