The effect of carbidine on enzymes of ethanol and acetaldehyde oxidation, the rate of ethanol elimination and the parameters of ethanol consumption were studied during long-term alcoholic intoxication. Carbidine administration was shown to increase the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase of the liver tissue, to decrease the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase with a low Km to acetaldehyde. Also, the rate of ethanol elimination and a relative amount of consumed ethanol increase at the expense of an increase of the volume of consumed liquid.

This study aimed to determine the chromatographic retention and dissociation/protonation constant (pK) values of lapatinib and tamoxifen, key drugs used in metastatic breast cancer treatment, at 37°C using both conventional and green high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. Qualitative analysis was conducted on an XTerra C18 column (250 ×4.6 mm I.

Durable and fluorine-free superhydrophobic films were fabricated by a simple two-step process involving the pretreatment of glass substrates with an epoxysilane, which acted as an adhesive. The next step involved the aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of a simple mixture of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and SiO nanoparticles (NPs). Various parameters were studied, such as deposition time as well as PDMS and SiO loadings.

Background: Malaria is one of the leading causes of morbidity and/or mortality in tropical Africa. The spread and development of resistance to chemical antimalarial drugs and the relatively high cost of the latter are problems associated with malaria control and are reasons to promote the use of plants to meet healthcare needs to treat malaria. The aim of this study was to evaluate antiplasmodial activities of extracts of (Mah quat), which is traditionally used for the treatment of malaria in the western region of Cameroon.

and are mostly cultivated in tropical climates for culinary and perfumery purposes, yet their potential medicinal properties remain underreported. The aim of this study was to examine the antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities of ethanol extracts from (EESC) and (EEPC). Reflux extraction was carried out using 96% ethanol on the collected plant specimens to produce EESC and EEPC.

The electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) holds enormous potential as a carbon-neutral route to the sustainable production of fuels and platform chemicals. The durability for long-term operation is currently inadequate for commercialization, however, and the underlying deactivation process remains elusive. A fundamental understanding of the degradation mechanism of electrocatalysts, which can dictate the overall device performance, is needed.
