Aluminium and the effects of chelating agents on liver and brain of cirrhinus mrigala

ABSTRACT :   The study of biological indicator organism is more important than analyzing water or sediments for monitoring heavy metal pollution in the aquatic environment .Non-essential elements enter the animals and accumulate to the different organs so that chelating agents are most versatile and effective antidotes for eliminate the metals toxicities. The aim of our present study is to find out bioaccumulations of aluminium and the effects of chelating agents DFO and DFP in brain and liver tissues of Cirrhinus mrigala by using Inductively Coupled Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES). This study finds out the accumulation of aluminium is Brain> Liver. The present result suggests that DFO and DFP reduce the aluminium concentration in the tissues of Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings and both are efficient chelators. Aluminium toxicity is a wide spread problem in all forms of life, including humans, animals, fishes, plants, and cause wide spread degradation of the environm...

Synthesis and biological screening of picric acid & p-amino phenol derivatives for anti-microbial activity

The treatment of infectious diseases still remains an important and challenging problem because of a combination of factors including emerging infectious diseases and the increasing number of multi-drug resistant microbial pathogens with particular relevance for Gram positive bacteria. Bacteria are among the oldest living organisms on earth and are very small. Because the bacteria structure is so minute, it can only be seen through a microscope. Bacteria are commonly found in the ground, water and in other living organisms. While some types of bacteria can cause diseases and become harmful to the environment, animals and humans, others offer benefits that we likely could not live without. Some types of bacteria can attack plants, causing diseases like leaf spot and fire blight. PDF
