Nosrat Madadi Mahani; Azra Horzadeh

Volume 5, Issue 2 , September 2018, Pages 23-30

Abstract
  A quantitative structure activity relationship analysis has been applied to a data set of 34 derivatives of 8-hydroxy-2-iminochromene with inhibitory activities for carbonyl reductase 1. Semi-empirical quantum chemical calculations at the AM1 level were used to find the geometry of the studied molecules. ...  Read More

Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies of Cu (II) Biosorption Onto Waste Tea and Coffee Powder (WTCP)

Khaled Elsherif; Ashraf El Hashani; Ibrahim Haider

Volume 5, Issue 2 , September 2018, Pages 31-38

Abstract
  Biosorption of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions onto waste Tea and Coffee powder (WTCP) has been investigated in a batch biosorption process. The biosorption process was found to be dependent on pH of solution, initial metal ion concentration, biosorbent dose, and contact time. The experimental equilibrium ...  Read More

Analytical Methods for the Determination of Amikacin in Pharmaceutical Preparations and Biological Fluids: A Review

Muneeba Usmani; Sofia Ahmed; Muhammad Sheraz; Iqbal Ahmad

Volume 5, Issue 2 , September 2018, Pages 39-55

Abstract
    Amikacin (AM) belongs to the family of aminoglycoside antibiotics. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic, effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections. The chemical structure of AM consists of hydroxyl (OH), glucopyranosyl and amino (NH2) groups. However, the lack of ...  Read More
