the effect of prepared ayurvedic formulation was evaluated on excision and incision wound models in rats. the wound-healing activity was assessed by the rate of period of epithelialization and skin-breaking strength. histological study of the granulation tissue was carried out to know the extent of collagen formation in the wound tissue. the ayurvedic formulation prepared was then promoted for ...

Furacin* (5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone) is an antibacterial agent effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms (l-3). It has also been studied extensively, along with other nitrofurans, to determine its fate during metabolism in the body (4, 5). Certain of these nitrofurans having chemotherapeutic activity partially withstand metabolic breakdown in the body and are ex...

The general antibacterial action in vitro of a variety of furan derivatives substituted in the 5 position with a nitro group has been reported by Dodd and Stilhnan (1, 2). That the presence of the nitro group is essential was established by comparison of the activities with those of the corresponding non-nitrated derivatives. All the nitrofurans except those limited by insolubility exhibited a ...

A sensitive and selective method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of nitrofurazone (NFZ) in swine muscle, swine liver, chicken muscle, chicken liver, egg, eel, yellowtail and shrimp has been developed. The drug was extracted with 0.2% metaphosphoric acid-methanol (6 : 4), and the extracts were cleaned up on an Oasis HLB cartridge (200 mg). Th...
