The field of nano science plays a crucial role in modern research and technology, offering unparalleled opportunities for innovation. Spondias mombin extract is used in this study as a bioreducing agent for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The properties of these nanoparticles are compared. As the color of the extract changed from colorless to brown and then dark silver during synthesis, the reduction of AgNO3 confirmed the effectiveness of S. motherbin extract as a bio-reduc...
The use of herbal medicines, despite the advancement in production of orthodox ones, has been on the increase, both in underdeveloped, developed and developing countries like Nigeria in particular. The approval of these herbal remedies by regulatory bodies like the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control, (NAFDAC) in Nigeria has further encouraged the use of herbal remedies by almost everybody. This research targets the estimation of the concentration of‘heavy metals’ in ...
Abstract The pyridyl based Schiff base ligands from 2-aminopyridine and benzaldehyde and 2-aminopyridine and 2, 4-dihydroxylbenzaldehyde were synthesized by: 1. For Schiff base from 2-aminopyridine and benzaldehyde; Distillation of Benzaldeyde to ensure maximum purity from possible contaminant like water and ammonia, and refluxed with freshly prepared 2-aminopyridine. The refluxing was done with ethanoic acid catalyst at a time and without catalyst. The process was followed up with Thin Lay...
Smaller structures with sizes ranging from 0.1 to 100 nm are studied in nanotechnology. The pharmaceutical industry is about to undergo a great change as a result of this specialty. It covers various fields such as biophysics, molecular biology, biotechnology, as well as subfields of medicine such as cardiology, ophthalmology, endocrinology, oncology, and immunology. New drug delivery systems are being developed by pharmacies to overcome the shortcomings of conventional methods. This Seminar ...

Metal complexes are scientifically known to be active and effective as antibacterial, antivirus and some antifungal etc. This project work is targeted at preparing complex from transition metals say; cobalt, cupper, zinc and nickel and organic ligands synthesised from pyridyl based schiff bases, one from 2-aminopyridine and benzaldehyde and second from 2-aminopyridine and 2,4-dihydroxylbenzaldehyde. The analysis and completion is based on thin-layer chromatography, column-chromatography and I...
