Pazopanib, which is dangerous for aquatic environments due to its toxic and bioaccumulation potential, has been detected at different concentrations in oncology hospital wastewater, sewage, and surface waters. This study aimed to remove pazopanib from wastewater by activated carbon adsorption technique. The effect of the main variables such as initial concentration, pH of pazopanib solution, adsorbent dose, contact time of the phases, and temperature on the adsorption process was evaluated and the optimum adsorption conditions were determined.

Also it has become very important to offer species with high nutritional value as fresh or processed products for human consumption due to increasing world population and decreasing arable land. In this context, we characterized the horticultural characteristics of 11 rosehip genotypes grown from seeds.

It is reported that 350 million people are at risk and two million new cases are seen in the world every year. It has been reported that different drugs (topical paromomycin, oral miltefosine, ketoconazole, rifampin, and zinc) have been tried in studies especially in endemic regions in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and response to treatment has been obtained at different rates.

In the scope of this study, 15 naturally grown European Cranberry bush (ECB) genotypes that naturally grown were characterized in terms of horticultural characteristics. Fruit length, fruit width, fruit weight, the number of fruits per each cluster and cluster weight were determined within the ranges of 8.

In the presented research, a simple, accurate, precise and cost-effective capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) method was used for the qualitative and quantitative estimation of Galanthamine from bulbs, leaves and fringes of Leucojum aestivum L. (summer snowflake) grown in Turkish habitats (Black Sea Region) and pharmaceutical dosage forms by capillary zone electrophoresis with direct UV detection form.

Response surface methodology was used to estimate effective experimental conditions on the content extraction of poppy capsules. For this purpose, solvent/solid ratio (10-20 mL/500 mg sample), pH (1-13), time (30-60 min), and temperature (30-50°C) were chosen as experimental variables.

This study was conducted to determine the possible radiopharmaceutical potential of morphin labeled with (131)I. Morphine was extracted from dry capsules of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.), purified by high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized with nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy.
