introduction: although hippocampus is the most famous brain area involved in temporal lobe epilepsy, hippocampal kindling (hk) develops very slowly. hence, rapid kindling is usually preferred to the traditional kindling and it is widely used. in this article we aimed at finding the optimal stimulus pattern, which yields the fastest hk rate. methods: stimulus patterns with different duration (2,...

An highly expeditious synthetic approach for the synthesis of benzenemethanesulfonamides (1a-k) and their new corresponding N,N-diethyl substituted amido moieties (2a-k) has been achieved in aqueous medium at room temperature. The reaction condition was thoroughly optimized thereby allowing significant rate enhancement and resulting into excellent yields. The chemical structures of the successf...

The highly nutritional and ecofriendly Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) has hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, and antihypertensive properties. Spirulina contains functional compounds, such as phenolics, phycocyanins, and polysaccharides, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulating effects. Studies conducted on Spirulina suggest that it is safe in healthy subjects, but attitude to eat...

This study reports the synthesis of chitosan anchored Schiff base, ([2-oxo-1H-indol-3-ylidene] amino) chitosan and its Cu (II) metal complex. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR Spectrum, thermogravimetry analysis .The crystallinity of the compound was analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction technique. The catalytic efficiency of complex was studied in the oxidation of alcoh...
