Antioxidant activities oftriacontanyl-E-cinnamoatesmetabolites from Caesalpinia volkensii root bark extracts
(Research gate, 2017)
Natural antioxidants have been reported to prevent oxidative damage caused by free radicals generated during biochemical processes
and thus useful in prevention of several degenerative diseases. The present study evaluated ...
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 ...
Potential of novel phytoecdysteroids isolated from Vitex doniana in the treatment depression: Involvement of monoaminergic systems
(Elsevier, 2014-12-01)
Vitex doniana Sweet (Verbanaceae) is used in traditional African medicine for the treatment of neurological disorders including depression. In our previous studies, three new phytoecdysteroids were isolated from methanol ...
The mechanism of 2-chlorobiphenyl oxidative degradation by nanoscale zero-valent iron in the presence of dissolved oxygen
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017-11-08)
It has recently been demonstrated that the addition of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) to oxygen-containing water or soil aquifers results in the oxidation of organic compounds. However, there has been little insight ...
Function of Nitrate Ion and Tea Saponin Application Rates in Anerobic PAH Dissipation in Paddy Soil
(2016-06-01)
Abstract In the present study, KNO 3 and tea saponin (TS) were applied to investigate
systematically the potential impact of their concentrations on dissipation of anerobic
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in ...
Feasibility of an enhanced washing process to extract PBDEs/heavy metals/antibiotics from antibiotic resistance gene-affected soil with aqueous DNA followed by mi...
(2016-03-01)
Abstract Purpose Remediation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)/heavy
metals/antibiotics mixed contaminated soil with high abundance of antibiotic resistance
genes (ARGs) has being greatly challenging. Materials ...
Impact of bioaccessible pyrene on the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes during Sphingobium sp.-and sophorolipid-enhanced bioremediation in soil
(Elsevier, 2015-12-30)
Abstract Soils are exposed to various types of chemical contaminants due to anthropogenic
activities; however, research on persistent organic pollutants and the existence of antibiotic
resistance genes (ARGs) is limited. ...
Positive relationship detected between soil bioaccessible organic pollutants and antibiotic resistance genes at dairy farms in Nanjing, Eastern China
(Elsevier, 2015-11-30)
Abstract Co-contaminated soils by organic pollutants (OPs), antibiotics and antibiotic
resistance genes (ARGs) have been becoming an emerging problem. However, it is unclear
if an interaction exists between mixed ...
The interactive biotic and abiotic processes of DDT transformation under dissimilatory iron-reducing conditions
(Pergamon, 2015-11-30)
Abstract The objective of the study was to elucidate the biotic and abiotic processes under
dissimilatory iron reducing conditions involved in reductive dechlorination and iron
reduction. DDT transformation was ...
Effect of anthropogenic activities on the water quality of Amala and Nyangores tributaries of River Mara in Kenya
(2015-10-30)
Abstract Mau Forest in the upper reaches of the Mara River basin has recently undergone
increased forest destruction followed by human settlement and agricultural activities. These
anthropogenic activities may be ...
