the effect of acetate ion introduced to aqueous solutions was investigated for the extraction/separation of ni and co from a dilute sulfate media. the separation of co and ni was improved by introducing acetate to aqueous media. by the use of the slope analysis method,the stoichiometric coefficient of the extractant was found to be 4 for cobalt and 3.5 or 4 for nickel depending on the acetate c...

copper (cu) is an essential trace element involved in normal reproduction but its over-exposure may produce some detrimental effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of purslane on copper sulfate poisoning on liver structures changes. twenty eight wistar rats were randomly allocated to four treatment groups. group i) control, group ii) copper sulfate (200 mg/kg bw were appl...

The application of single-pass attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) microscopy was investigated for secondary structure analysis of 15 representative proteins in H2O solution. This is the first reported application of single-pass ATR-FT-IR for protein analysis; thus, the method was validated using transmission FT-IR and multipass ATR-FT-IR as referee methods. The s...

background: ß-carbolines, harmaline and harmine, are the major alkaloids presenting in the seeds of the peganum harmala l. these alkaloids are known as herbal active principals with potential use in pharmaceutical and medicine. objectives: to assess the growth inhibitory effect of phyto-alkaloids, harmaline and harmine, on cancer cell lines. methods: the p. harmala l.’s alkaloids were extracted...

parthenolide is major sesquiterpene lactones present in anthemis haussknechtii boiss. & reut. (feverfew). this compound has many effects on different disease such as migrain and cancer. parthenolide was reported from tanacetum parthenium (l.) sch.bip. but other plants of asteraceae family could contain parthenolide. in this study parthenolide was extracted and identified with two methods, fouri...
