conclusions the clinical klebsiella strains isolated from lahore region, pakistan exhibited resistance to most commonly used antibiotics, which can be a serious threat to public health. the study reported some potential actinomycetes strains, which exhibit promising activity against multidrug resistant klebsiella strains. results the isolated klebsiella strains showed resistance against most of...

the effect of postharvest uv-c irradiation on phenolic compounds accumulation was investigated in berries of ‘rishbaba’ table grape (vitis vinifera cv. rishbaba). grape clusters were harvested at mature stage and irradiated with uv-c using fluorescent germicidal lamp (30 w, 90 cm) with a peak emission at 254 nm for 0 (control), 5 and 10 min. uv-c treatment had significant effect on individual p...

the present study was designed to develop a simple, validated liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of azithromycin in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms using ultraviolet detector. the best stationary phase was determined as c18 column, 5 µm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm. mobile phase was optimized to obtain a fast and selective separation of the drug. flow rate was 1.5 ml/min, wavelength was se...

the present study concentrates on the synthesis of au nanoparticles (aunps) using aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp) and tetrachloroaurate by different methods as thermal, sonochemical and electrochemical reduction. the pvp has been used as a reducing agent and acts as a stabilizer for au nano particles that obtained as principal product. in all synthesis procedures, the active radi...

a novel podand based anion receptor bearing benzimidazole motifs as recognition sites was designed and synthesized by reaction of 1,7-bis(2'-methylbenzoate)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and phenylenediamine. the binding properties of anionic guest with this receptor were studied using uv-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. these studies revealed that this receptor exhibit selective recognition towards f- ...

the main objective of this research was to synthesize and characterize gold-coated fe3o4 /sio2 nanoshells for clinical applications. magnetite nanoparticles (nps) were prepared via co-precipitation. the results showed that smaller particles can be synthesized by decreasing the naoh concentration, which in our case this corresponded to 35 nm by using 0.9 m of naoh at 750 rpm. the nps were then m...

in this paper, we have described the size-controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles based on the reduction of au3+ (haucl4 ) using molybdophosphoric acid (h3[pmo12o40 ], hpmo) under uv-irradiation. in the process, hpmo plays the role of photocatalyst, reducing agent and stabilizer and propan-2-ol acts as a sacrificial agent. this method allows the synthesis of uniform hexagonal nanoparticles w...
