Background: Dicrocoeliasis and fascioliasis are foodborne parasitic diseases of the biliary tract, resulting from Dicrocoelium dendriticum Fasciola hepatica causing extensive financial losses serious health problems in ruminants. Due to low-performance medications, drug delivery is a tremendous project improve interventions available for these diseases. Objectives: This study aimed determine an...

Four new farnesyl hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, kuhistanols E-H (1-4), were isolated from the roots of the Uzbekistan medicinal plant Ferula kuhistanica. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic and chemical evidence.

Acute and chronic ecotoxicity tests with zinc were performed with the earthworm Eisenia fetida, the potworm Enchytraeus albidus, and the springtail Folsomia candida. To assess the influence of the soil type on zinc toxicity for these soil invertebrates, these tests were carried out in a standard artificial soil, a sandy and a loamy field soil. Based on the results of this experimental work and ...

This study compared the uptake and depuration of four commonly used pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine, diclofenac, fluoxetine and orlistat) in two earthworm species (Lumbricus terrestris and Eisenia fetida). L. terrestris are a larger species and often found in deep burrows whereas E. fetida prefer to reside near the soil surface. Species burrowing habits and sizes may alter uptake by earthworms. ...

The CO(2)/O(2) specificity factor of sucrose gradient purified ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from the C(3)-C(4) intermediate plants Moricandia arvensis (79 +/- 1) and Panicum milioides (89 +/- 2) was similar to the respective values of the enzyme from the closely related C(3) species, Moricandia foetida (80 +/- 5) and Panicum laxum (86 +/- 2). Thus, the kinetic properties of t...
