Formulation, characterization and in vivo evaluation of Hedera helix L., topical dosage forms.

The purpose of this study was to prepare topical formulations of micro emulsion, gel and ointment containing the Hedera helix L. extracts against asthma and to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics. A validated HPLC method was used for the analysis of blood plasma.

Spectrophotometric investigation of Glutathione modulation by Thallium chloride in aqueous medium.

Thallium has been shown to significantly influence various tissues of living organisms; Exposure to Thallium can disturb mitochondrial function, degenerate neurons, and interfere with the function of critical metabolic enzymes and co-enzymes. Glutathione (GSH) an essential biomarker is considered a key factor in harnessing the thallium toxicity. In the present study the interaction of Thallium (Thallium Chloride) and glutathione was investigated spectro-photo-metrically in aqueous media.

Report: Palladium glutathione, N-acetylcysteine, D-penicillamine conjugation chemistry.

The metalloelement Palladium has a number of potential Pharmaco-clinical advantages. Palladium compounds have antiviral, antibacterial, neuroprotective and antitumor properties. However studies have also indicated some mild to serious toxic effects of Palladium metalloelements.
