Abstract: Abstract A seriers of 1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2-thion were synthesized by the reaction of naproxen (or acetyl) amino acid hydrazides (glycine, valine, leucine, isoleucine and tyrosine) with carbon disulphide in alkaline medium. The reaction of naproxen (or acetyl) amino acid hydrazides were treated with p-chloro benzaldehyde to give hydrazone, the hydrazones were then cyclized with lead dioxide to give 1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2-aryl. Naproxen amino acid esters were treated with ammonia gas to give naproxen amino acid amids. The synthesized compounds were characterized by physical and spectral analysis. Introduction In the family of heterocyclic compounds, nitrogen containing heterocycles with an oxygen atom are considered to be an important class of compounds in medicinal chemistry because of their interesting diversified biological application. The oxadiazole derivatives have been reported to have various biological activites including anti-microbal (1-3), anticancer (4, 5), anti inflammatory (6), anti-infective (7), and anti HIV (8). Substituted oxadiazole moiety has also been found to have other important activites such as antiviral (9), antifungal (10-12), antimycobacterial (13), anticouvulsant (14), antitumor (15), antimarlarial (16), and anti-hepatitis B viral activities (17). Substituted 1, 3, 4- oxadiazoles exhibit antibacterial (18-19), pesticidal (20) and analgesic activities (21-22). This paper describes the synthesis of new heterocyclic systems containing 1, 3, 4- oxadiazoles linked with naproxen.

Abstract: Abstract The conversion of some acid chlorides to substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles is reported. Benzoyl chloride and 4- nitrobenzoyl chloride were treated with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol to give acid hydrazides (1,2), The acid hydrazides were converted to 1- substituted thiosemicarbazides (3,4) by this reaction with ammonium thiocyanate in ethanol. The later thiosemicarbazides were cyclized to substituted thiadiazoles (5,6) and triazoles (7,8) by their reaction with concentrated sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide solution respectively. The hydrazones (9-12) were synthesised from acid hydrazides (1,2) by their reaction with substituted benzaldehyde in dioxane. The cyclization of hydrazones (9-12) with acetic anhydride gave substituted 1,3,4- oxadiazole (13-16). The structures of synthesised compounds were confirmed by IR, UV spectral data and physical means.

Abstract: Abstract A simple, sensitive and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of chloramphenicol in pure as well as in dosage form is described. The method is based on the reaction of reduced chloramphenicol with 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) at pH10 to form an orange colored complex of maximum absorption peak (λmax) at 475 nm. Under the optimized reaction conditions, Beer’s law correlating the absorbance with chloramphenicol concentration was obeyed in the range of 0.05-5 μg ml-1. The molar absorptivity was 1.51×105 L. mol−1cm−1. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.028 and 0.323 μg ml-1, respectively. The accuracy and precision of the method were satisfactory; the average recovery was 100.12 % and relative standard deviation ≤0.7. The stoichiometry of the reaction was studied, and the reaction mechanism was postulated. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of chloramphenicol in its pharmaceutical capsule, syrup and ointment with good accuracy and precisions. The results obtained by the proposed method are compared with those obtained by the official method and other reported methods. Keywords: Spectrophotometry; Chloramphenicol; TCNQ; Pharmaceutical

Abstract: Abstract Forty-five albino adult male rats severed from oxidative stress induced with 0.5% hydrogen peroxide and 1% cholesterol for 45days(30 days for the preparation of oxidative stress and 15days for therapeutic treatment of experimental period),and aged 3-4 months were used as experimental model for oxidative stress study in rats.Rats were dividedrandomly into nine groups. First group was used as control, second to fifth groups were orally treated with walnut leaves coldextract, and the sixth to ninth groups were treated separately with warm extract concentration 60, 75, 90 and 120 mg/kg body weight for the two walnut extracts respectively. Rats were fed with hyperlipidemicdiet, which contains 1% cholesterol and 0.5% hydrogen peroxide in drinking water for 15 days experimental period;at room temperature around 25°C in dark/light cycle was 12/12 hours daily. Blood samples were collected from the eye retro-ocular vein using heparinized PCV tubeat the beginning and last days of experiment. Plasma was separated and used for the determinations of blood total lipid (TL), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL-c), and liver total cholesterol. Rat's nutritional status (increased body mass-growth and food intake weights) was estimated too. Analysis of variance and Duncan test showed that, the cold and warm extracts of walnut leaves caused rat's nutritional status improvement and hypolipidemic effect in plasma TL, TC, VLDL-c &LDL-c and decreased atherogenicindices;in addition they increased the HDL-c and lowering liver total cholesterol. The walnut leaves cold extract concentration 75mg/kg body weight considered to be more efficient than other tested concentrations of cold and warm extracts. Therefore, this concentration of cold walnut extract was suggested as hypolipidemic matter with specific concentration.

Abstract: Abstract In this research the absorbed dose by the thyroid gland of radioiodine 131I during treatment of the thyroid cancer after total or partial remove of the thyroid gland by operation, the radioiodine is concentrated in the un removed parts of the gland tissue depending on stage and type of disease. The thermoluminescence dosimeters TLDs are used for measuring the absorbed dose for its good efficiency in detecting alpha and gamma rays. High radiation doses was found in un removed regions, and low doses in the partial removed regions, in case of the total remove of the gland readings were lower over all the gland. Moreover much lower dose was found after second treatment by radioiodine, these measurements were welcomed by doctors of radiotherapy. Also by measuring the transmitted gamma rays from the frontal and dorsal parts of the neck it is found that the transmitted rays from the frontal part is about more than that from the dorsal part which indicate possible absorption and scattering by tissues and vertebral and also by the spinal cord, this later measurement help to consider the low possible risk of treatment by radioiodine. Keyword: TLDs، 131I, gamma ray, treatment by radioiodine, Radiation Dose.
