α-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors from Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. root bark
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)
A systematic analysis of the root bark of Zanthoxylum chalybeum was conducted to establish the antidiabetic potential of isolated compounds based on its ethnomedicinal use to manage diabetes. Chromatographic separation of ...
Simultaneous quantification of acetaminophen and tryptophan using a composite graphene foam/Zr-MOF film modified electrode
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
A graphene foam/zirconium-based metal–organic framework composite (GF/UiO-66) was synthesised and then employed to modify glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). These modified electrodes were successfully used for the simultaneous ...
Removal of Dyes From Wastewater by Adsorption Onto Low-Cost Adsorbents
(IGI Global, 2020)
This chapter describes an up-to-date critique of the use of adsorption as a wastewater treatment technique for the removal of dyes. The topics range from the classification of dyes, their occurrence in water and toxicity, ...
Controlling the reactivity of [Pd(II)(N^N^N)Cl]+ complexes using 2,6-bis(pyrazol-2-yl)pyridine ligands for biological application: Substitution reactivity, CT-DNA interactions and in vitro cytotoxicity study
(Elsevier, 2020)
Four [(N^N^N)Pd(II)Cl]+ complexes [chloride-(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine)Pd(II)]Cl (PdL1), [chlorido(2,6-bis(N-pyrazol-2-yl)pyridine)Pd(II)]Cl (PdL2), [chlorido(2,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-N-pyrazol-2-yl)pyridine)Pd(II)]Cl (PdL3) and ...

Synthesis and characterization of FSB@Fe3O4 composites and application in removal of indigo carmine dye from industrial wastewaters
(Springer, 2021)
The syntheses and characterization of fish scale biochar magnetic composites (FSB@Fe3O4) and their applications in the removal of indigo carmine dye from effluents are described. Preparation of the fish scale biochar ...
Synthesis, characterization and application of acid and alkaline activated volcanic ash-based geopolymers for adsorptive remotion of cationic and anionic dyes from water
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this work, two geopolymers were prepared by acid activation (GPAc) and alkaline activation (GPAl) approaches using volcanic ash (VA) as the precursor material. The geosorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction ...
2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine: Structure and Biosynthesis of a Myxobacterial Sesquiterpene–Nucleoside
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020)
Myxobacteria represent an under-investigated source for biologically active natural products featuring intriguing structural moieties with potential applications, e.g., in the pharmaceutical industry. Sorangiadenosine and ...
Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging Activities of Selected Kenyan Leafy Vegetables
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2020)
Naturally occurring antioxidants found in vegetables and fruits can play a critical role in deactivating free radicals often before they attack biological cells in humans. Indigenous Kenyan vegetables are potential sources ...
Production and characterization of activated carbons from sugarcane bagasse from Chemelil sugar factory, compared with commercial activated carbons
(Journal of Engineering in Agriculture and the Environment, 2020)
In Kenya activated carbon is imported yet we have enough bagasse that can be used in its production. The
activated carbon from bagasse adds economic value to the bagasse and the processing excess bagasse provides
for ...
