Propagation of magnetogasdynamic spherical shock waves in an exponential medium

Abstract: In this paper propagation of magnetogasdynamic spherical shock waves is considered in an exponentially increasing medium. The shock wave moves with variable velocity and the total energy of the wave is variable. It is shown that the magnetic field changes the flow velocity, density and pressure.

Identification of New Potent Inhibitors of Dengue Virus NS3 Protease From Traditional Chinese Medicine Database

Abstract: Dengue virus (DENV) has emerged as an increasing fitness problem in the world for which no specialized drug is available. The non-structural protein NS3 protease of DENV has already been recognized as a potential therapeutic target for the discovery and development of novel antiviral agents against DENV infections. In this study, we employed the virtual screening technique to explore the potent inhibitors of DENV NS2B/NS3pro from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) database. Total 200 inhibitors from TCM against DENV NS3pro were screened and only five TCM compounds like eriodictyol 7-O-glucuronide, luteolin 8-C-beta-glucopyranoside, (-)-epicatechin-3-O-gallate, 6-O-trans-p-coumaroylgeniposide and luteolin-7-O-glucoside were selected for further analysis which showed binding energies, −7.000, −7.380, −7.380, −7.440 and −7.440 kcal/mol, respectively. The findings of this study suggest that these five TCM compounds can be considered as potent inhibitors for DENV NS2B/NS3pro for the development of anti-dengue drugs.

Chemistry of Organic Eutectics and Molecular Complexes: Naphthalene-Picric Acid and Anthracene-Picric Acid Systems

Abstract: Crystallization behavior and nature of complexation have been studied for the naptha-lene-picric acid and anthracene-picric acid systems. Phase diagrams were determined experimentally to get the exact compositions of eutectics and molecular complexes. Data on crystallization velocity obey the relation V = u(ΔT) n where ΔT is undercooling, u and n are constant. Experimental values of heats of fusion do not go in subordination with mixture law. Infra-red and ultraviolet-visible spectral studies indicate the charge transfer interactions in both systems.
