Determination of dutasteride in pure and tablet by flow injection system
Get PDFA new Spectrophotometric flaw injection method has been established for the determination of Dutasteride (DS) in Pure and pharmaceutical tablets preparations. The method was based on the interaction of Dutasteride, as an n-electron donor with Chloranil as a π-acceptor, in acetonitrile to give reddish orange colored Chloranil radical anion with absorption maxima at 525 nm. The linearity of this method was in the range of (0.9948-8.932) ug.ml' with a correlation coefficient of 0.9969, a relative standard deviation (RSD) 0.422 %, with detection limit of (0.420) ug.ml"

This impact is consistent among consumers of various income levels. The knowledge and skill elements have no influence on customers' purchasing intentions. Factor analysis has been carried out on the variables of the Consumers attitude on Eco-friendly Product buying behaviour. One-Sample T-Test and Ranking Analysis are used to analyse Consumer Preference to buy an Environmental – Friendly Products. Cronbach’s alpha is used in order to assess the construct reliability of the scale. This research adds to a better knowledge of the elements that influence eco-friendly products consumption intentions in Tamil Nadu, as well as consumer behaviour in developing nations.

Morinda citrifolia mediated biogenic synthesis of selenium nanoparticles and evaluation of its antimicrobial and antioxidant activity
Get PDFPurpose : The aim of the study is to assess its potential to synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with Noni fruit extract and augment its antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Materials and methods: The synthesized SeNPs were confirmed using UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, S. aureus, E. faecalis, C. albicans was tested using agar diffusion; antioxidant potential assessed on 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate oxidation. Results : UV-vis, and TEM confirmed the synthesis of SeNPs and revealed smooth spherical nanoparticles (25-100nm). SeNPs exhibited significant antimicrobial activity for the provided concentration against all organisms and excellent antioxidant potential in a dose dependent manner (84% inhibition/50 µl concentration). Conclusion : Morinda citrifolia augmented biogenic SeNPs is a cost effective yet efficient method and they show great potential as oral antimicrobial agent with superior antioxidant properties and is eco-friendly
