Sesquiterpene lactones : structural diversity and their biological activities, In- Opportunity, Challanges and Scope of Natural Products in Medicinal Chemistry
. Sesquiterpenes lactones (SLs) have been isolated from
numerous genera of the family Asteraceae (compositae) and can
also be found in other angiosperm families. They are described as
the active constituents of a variety of medicinal plants used in
traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
They are known to possess wide variety of biological and
pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antiinflammatory,
antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal activities, effects
on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems as well as
allergenic potency. Their wide structural diversity and potential
biological activities have made further interest among the chemists.
The present chapter will be highlighted on the recent developments
on the SLs and their diverse biological activities

Chemical Engineering Applications on Unit Operations of Tanning Industry-Case Studies
—Tanning industries still follow primitive methods
to handle chemicals and raw materials that give rise to spill
over of costly chemicals, health hazards and hence incur losses.
Computerized dosing systems are needed to reduce spillage
and wastage of costly chemicals in tanning operations. The unit
operations in leather making are made into modules.
Engineering inputs through automation (using PLC) must be
brought into picture to improve the working atmosphere and
to reduce losses. The results show improved quality control
and healthy work atmosphere in the industry can be achieved
by use of computer aided dosing systems (CADS).
