analysis Qualitative phytochemical screening of the extracts was performed using a standard procedure by Sofowora (1993), Harborne (1984, pp. 4-16) and Trease and Evans (2002, pp. 23-67). 1. Test for alkaloids A 2 mL of potassium iodide was added to crude extract, which forms brown precipitate with alkaloids solutions. 2. Test for flavonoids A 2 mL of sodium hydroxide solution (2%) was added to crude extract, followed by few drops of diluted acid. Transformation from intense red-orange color to colorless

available for people who suffer from alcohol abuse and full-blown alcoholism. Ibogaine is an active alkaloid that comes from an isolated root of the Tabernanthe iboga plant native to Central West Africa. Interestingly, the Bwiti African tribe has used this alkaloid for thousands of years for its powerful healing abilities but also in rite of passage ceremonies. During the 1960s, this active alkaloid was found to help stop withdrawal symptoms associated with both opiates and heroin. Since that time

Toxins can be Bewitching Let me set the stage: It is winter, in Salem Massachusetts, the year of our lord 1692. The cupboards are full. The fall harvest was good. All the food staples are stored. An evil lurks in the food stores. An Evil awaits in cupboards and the evil has a name and it is Ergot fungus. When rye grains is contaminated with ergot fungus and then eaten strange things begin to happen. Linnda Caporael (given her creditioanals ) proved 284 years later in the year of our lord 1976 that

Opiates and opioids are narcotic pain medications that are highly addictive and deadly. Although these two drugs are nearly identical, there is one major difference that sets them apart from each other; Opiates are drugs that are obtained through opium, while opioids are drugs that are created synthetically, and are used to parallel the effects and key characteristics of that of opium (George F. Koob, Michael A. Arends, & Michel Le Moal, 2014). Opioids come in many different forms, and it is important

These cyanobacteria can rapidly become dominant in a water source when the concentration of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus increases[v]. Cases of blue-green algae infestations in lakes and streams often happen, particularly because of human activities. Indeed, studies prove that manufacturing as well as agriculture have impacts on water quality when not well managed. The toxins from the two closed decommissioned areas mentioned earlier can have impacts on the water quality if entered in

On December 12, 1773 Samuel Adams led a group of 116 men who paddled small boats out into the darkness of the Boston Harbor. They were from all walks of life and several different ethnic groups known as the “Sons of Liberty.” They dressed up like the local Narragansett Indians, boarded three different ships and dumped 340 chests of tea into the frigid water of the Boston Harbor. It was approximately 92,000 pounds of tea which equal over $1,000,000 in dollars. There was so much tea dumped in the

Discussion Systematics Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in Genera Plantaru first published the family Amaranthaceae in 1789. The first publication of family Chenopodiaceae was in 17989/99 by Étienne Pierre Ventenat in Tableau du Regne Vegetal translation of the earlier Genera Plantaru [17]. Several works have discussed the closeness of the families Amaranthaceae and Chenopodiaceae. In previous studies, Amarantheceae was considered as a sister-group of Chenopodiaceae in the order Caryophyllales [18]. In

years past, bacterial infection has increased rapidly causing many diseases. Heterocyclic compounds which contain nitrogen atom was described against many types of micro-organisms due to their biological activity. Some indole derivatives such as alkaloids are considered one of the rapidly growing group which showing
