The presence of Staphylococcus aureus in drinking water is a concern because of its potential to cause human infection and also because of their potential of acquiring resistant genes. In this study, the prevalence of Multi-Drug Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from potable water in Ekiti State was evaluated. Twenty (20) water samples were aseptically collected for this research from different houses within Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State with the aid of the GPS coordinates. The physiochemical paramete...

ABSTRACT Crateva adansonii is a medicinal herb commonly used in parts of Africa because of the side effects of Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), like heart diseases and kidney failure. Inflammation is a major public heart issue in the world but treatment is becoming complex because of the side effects of anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical drugs. Hence the need for alternative drug is highly required. This research work investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of dichloromethane ...

Computer are now a days used in pharmaceutical in industries, hospitals and in various departments for drug information, education, evaluation, analysis, medication history and for maintenance of financial records. They have become indispensable in the development of clinical pharmacy, hospital pharmacy and pharmaceutical research. Computers are also useful for patient profile monitoring, medication, database management and material management. It is useful in providing on drug interactions, ...
ABSTRACT The gametocytocidal effect of antimalarial drugs has become important in malaria research owing to the global quest to eradicate the disease. In Ghana and most parts of Africa, people still depend on herbal medications despite advances in western medicine. However, these drugs lack the necessary scientific assessment. The IC50s of 10 known herbal antimalarial drugs on the Ghanaian market were determined. The development of sexual stages of the Plasmodium falciparum was monitored and...

Abstract: A series of ester and ether bridged compounds bearing the nitro and amino moieties were synthesized and characterized, in order to assess their ability to potentially serve as antibacterial agents against drug resistant bacteria. All the compounds were obtained at considerable yields while characterization techniques confirmed their successful synthesis. Furthermore, their antimicrobial assessments showed that all the compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against the Gram-nega...
ABSTRACT Multi-drug resistant (MDR) HIV-1 infection remains a challenge in individuals with extensive antiretroviral treatment (ART) experience, in terms of high mortality and probability of onward transmission. New therapeutic options within old drug and new drug classes are therefore essential. This study sought to determine coreceptor usage and T20 resistance associated mutations in patients failing salvage therapy from clinics around Botswana, through characterizing gp120 V3 loop and gp...

ABSTRACT Inflammation is a complex biological response of vascular tissue to harmful stimuli such as pathogen, damage cells or irritants (Ryan & Majno, 1983). The urgency generated by increased rate of stroke, atherosclerosis attribute due to prolonged use of cyclooxygenase-1 and Cyclooxygenase- 2 inhibitors have accelerated anti-inflammatory drug research over the last decade while synthetic pharmaceutical agents continued to dominate research (Ryan & Majno, 1983). Attention increasingly has...
