Introduction: Biological attack a phenomenon which has seriously started in the 20th- century and is expanding every day. Plague agent is one of factors listed as a biological weapon by the disarmament convention. Therefore, the risk of biological or bioterrorism applications is probable and serious. The purpose of this study was to update health professionals' information on plague and bioterr...

Schiff bases of fatty acid hydrazides made from Oil recovered from spent bleaching earth (ORSBE) and Acid oil (AO)were prepared. These newly synthesized Schiff bases were characterized on the basis of FT-IR, elemental analysis and evaluated for biological performance. Schiff bases exhibited mild antibacterial activities against certain micro-organisms if compared with streptomycin used as stand...

Herein we explore facile synthesis of 4-(3H)-Qunazolinone derivatives, achieved by the cyclocondensation of anthranilic acid, aromatic amines and triethyl orthoformate in presence of thiamine hydrochloride (Vitamin B1) as a catalyst, using grinding method. This protocol offers several advantages such as reusability of catalyst, excellent yield, shorter reaction time and economic availability.Qu...
