Effect of heating on the chemical stability of two brands of metronidazole suspension
Metronidazole suspension is available in most developed countries as a prescription only medicine and in the form of an extemporaneous preparation of 90 days shelf-life. In Nigeria, it is available on the shelf with shelf lives of 2 - 4 years. It is available from at least 20 local manufacturers. This work has determined the shelf life of two brands of metronidazole suspension using accelerated stability testing method....

Kinetics and mechanism of elimination of ethyl acetate in the gas phase: A theoretical study
Using the PM3 semi-empirical quantum mechanical molecular orbital method, a procedure was devised to study the gas phase pyrolytic reaction of ethyl acetate in order to gain a deeper insight into both its kinetics and mechanism. By considering the involvement of formal charges and geometrical changes in the activation, a mechanism was proposed in which a pre-equilibrium of acidic proton transfer is followed by the rate...

Modelling of the adsorption of zn2+ from aqueous solution by modified and unmodified tiger nut shell
Adsorption of Zn (II) ions from aqueous solutions was studied in a batch system using Tiger nut shells. The optimum condition for the adsorption of Zn (II) ions from aqueous solution by these shells was investigated by considering the extent of adsorption with respect to contact time, initial metal ion concentration, particle size of the adsorbent and modification of the adsorbent with H2SO4. The extent...

Antidiarrhoeal effects of the root extracts of Guiera senegalensis in male mice
The antimicrobial activities of aqueous and methanol extracts of Guiera senegalensis were studied against some enteropathogens by agar-well diffusion method. Both extracts inhibited the growth of Streptococcus Pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter cloacae, Salmonella sppand Pseudomonas euroginosa. The methanol extract was more effective on S. Pneumonia, E. coli, S....
