Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the nutritional and chemical properties of various pumpkin parts (flesh, peel, seeds, juice, and oil) using advanced techniques like UPLC-QqQ-MS and GC-TSQ-MS to identify 94 different phytoconstituents.!
- Key chemical classes found include phenolic acids, flavonoids, amino acids, and many others, with specific fractions showing strong inhibition of enzymes related to carbohydrate metabolism.!
- The research highlights pumpkin's potential as a functional food, particularly in diabetes management, by revealing bioactive compounds that may help regulate glucose levels in the body.!
The study aims to improve the ocular delivery of Nebivolol HCL (NBV) belonging to the Biopharmaceutics classification system (BCSII) by using spanlastic nanovesicles (SNVs) for ophthalmic delivery and incorporating them into hydroxypropyl methylcellulose gel with ketorolac tromethamine (KET) as an anti-inflammatory to improve glaucoma complications like Conjunctivitis. SNVs were prepared by ethanol injection technique using span (60) as a surfactant and labrasol as an edge activator (EA). The impact of formulation factors on SNVs properties was investigated using a Box-Behnken design.

Using a 36-acre tile-drained farm field, effects of P-sorbing media in combination with a denitrifying bioreactor system constructed with woodchips (WC) and corn stover (CS) on reducing nutrient export in drainage water were tested for 3 cropping years (2018-2020). The field was divided into three subfields as replicates.

However, the information available regarding the HPLC-MS/MS chemical profile of is inadequate. In this study, we performed HPLC-MS/MS analysis using electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI).

Aim Of The Study: The study was carried out to assess the therapeutic efficacy of Citrus sinensis peel ethanolic extract on Cryptosporidium-infected mice.
Methods: Two doses of Citrus sinensis extract; high dose (30 mg/kg) and low dose (15 mg/kg) were investigated compared to the common commercial drug nitazoxanide (NTZ).
