Authors: Abalaka, M.E.  , Daniyan, S.Y.  , Akpor, O.B.  , Inyinbor, A.A.
Published: October 2023

Khaya senegalensis is a very important medicinal plant in the tropics and has been utilized for treatment purposes which centred around protozoan as well as bacterial diseases. The phytochemical analysis, antioxidant, free radical scavenging activities and antimicrobial properties of K. senegalensis were investigated using various modern and modified techniques. The plant has been shown to contain secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, saponin, tannins, cardiac glycosides, steroids and flavonoids which are thought to give the plant its medicinal values. The bark and root extracts of K. senegalensis demonstrated hydroxyl (with EC50 values of 278.23, 401.34) and DPPH scavenging activities (with EC50 values of 95.76, 107.43) and lipid peroxidation inhibition properties with EC50 values of 132.12, 157.65 respectively which are by far higher than the EC50 ((50% effective concentration)) values of ascorbic acid of 223.55, 76.11 and 86.22 respectively. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) is radical and a trap ("scavenger") for other radicals. The zones of inhibition created around test organisms (both bacterial and fungal isolates) are reasonably comparable with standard antibiotics used as control. In most cases there was no significant difference (at p<0.05) between the standard and antibiotics and the extracts with zones of inhibition ranging from 12.2±0.02-22.5±0.01 for the extracts and 16.2±1.02-27.0±0.04 for standard antibiotics used in these experiments. The pharmaceutical world should take a very close and deep look at this tropical tree (Khaya senegalensis) once again with the aim of harnessing its enormous potentials as antimicrobial as well as antioxidant.

The study was carried out to determine the effect of fermented dough (sourdough) containing lactic acid bacteria on the organoleptic quality and shelf life of bread. Spontaneous fermentation of three commonly used wheat flour was carried out for 120 hours (5 days) at ambient temperature and at 33⁰ C . The average total lactic acid bacteria counts during dough fermentation were 2.0 x 107, 1.8 x 107 and 1.7 x 107cfu/g for flour A, B and C fermented doughs respectively. A total of seven Lactobacillus species were isolated; Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus sanfransicensis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus pontis, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactoacillus acidophilus. Percentage overall acceptance of the experimental bread samples was highest (79.00%) in the bread samples with 20% fermented dough concentration. The highest minimum mould-free shelf life was 8 days in both the 15% and 20% fermented dough bread as compared to the control bread baked with yeast and commercially purchased bread. Finally, the use of fermented dough in bread production was found to improve the sensory quality and shelf life of bread.

Published: October 2023

Chromate reductase is an enzyme that converts toxic and carcinogenic Cr6+ to non-carcinogenic and less soluble Cr3+. A hypothetical protein (ref.XP-001388504.1) from Aspergillus niger has been identified as chromate reductase using bioinformatics techniques. The techniques involved Clustal W alignment and Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). Using Clustal W alignment the motifs VTPEYN and LKNAID motifs were identified to be common among the different chromate reductase homologues aligned. The same motifs reappeared when the hypothetical protein was aligned with other chromate reductase homologues. The BLAST search was able to also identify VTPEYN and LKNAID motifs on the A. niger genome indicating the likelihood of the hypothetical protein being chromate reductase. The homologue was recovered as putative chromate reductase gene encoded by an open reading frame of 2227 bp nucleotide sequence. These findings clearly demonstrate the hypothetical protein is likely to be chromate reductase.

Published: October 2023

The effect of feeding Cow’s Milk butter as a nutritional source of short chain fatty acids on the level of foetal haemoglobin (Hb F) in patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) was studied. A significant increase (P<0.05) was observed in the level of Hb F (1.0% to 2.5%) in all the patients treated with Cow’s Milk butter for a period of 6 months (180 days). An increase in the level of Hb F in the patients is an indication of molecular “switch on” of the gamma globin gene responsible for the production of gamma globin chain found in Hb F. Increase in production of Hb F can serve as a therapy for the management of sickle cell anaemia (SCA).

Authors: Abdulmalik, B.S.  , Abdullahi, N.
Published: October 2023

A laboratory study was conducted to determine the efficacy of Psidium guajava and Ocimum gratissimum leaves oil for Sitophilus zeamais control. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with three replications. The leaf oil was extracted using soxhlet extractor. The leaves oil at four levels of concentration was mixed with 20 g of disinfested maize in 2 by 5 cm container. All the treatments with the leaves oil showed significant level of toxicity to the weevil. The highest concentration (4%) of the leaves oil of the plant material tested induced the highest mortality in the S. zeamais after 6days. Grains treated with the leaves oil extract significantly reduced the number of progeny emerged of both FI and F2 respectively by S. zeamais, and evoked low weight loss and seed damage against the weevil on grains treated with the highest dosage of the leaves oil extract. P. guajava was found to be most effective recoding 100% mortality of S. zeamais after 5days,lower LC50 value(1.94µml/l), lower F1 and F2 emergence (0.000±0.000), lower %weight loss (1.00%), lower %seed damage(11%) and higher viability(50%) which compared favourably with that recorded in positive control. Further studies should be conducted to find out the most bioactive ingredient of those plant leave oils.

Published: October 2023

Antibiotic resistance among bacteria is becoming a major problem in the treatment of many infections. Hence, there is need to find a potential alternative way of curing disease, this includes the use of medicinal plants in overcoming the antibiotic resistance. The present study was aimed at investigating the antibacterial activity of Acacia nilotica Wild. leaves extracts against some selected multi drug resistant bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Extraction of Acacia nilotica were performed using water and chloroform, on the basis of their increasing polarity with varying concentrations and were screened for the antibacterial activity using disc diffusion assay. Phytochemical screening reveals presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins, phenols, terpenoids and steroids. Aqueous extract was found to be more potent against all the selected bacterial pathogens with zone of inhibition ranges from (10 mm-13 mm) and (6 mm-10 mm) while that of chloroform extract were (3 mm-5 mm) and (2 mm-4 mm) against S. aureus and aeruginosa respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were (7 mg/ml) and (15 mg/ml) for aqueous extract while (15 mg/ml) and (25 mg/ml) for the chloroform extract on the test bacteria. Therefore this study determined the value of Acacia nilotica plant as alternative treatment for bacterial infections that can be used to completely overcome or minimize the resistance of bacteria observed in synthetic antimicrobial agents.
The Role of TLR-4 on the Mapkinases Signaling Pathways of Inflammatory Responses against Recombinant BCG Malaria Vaccine Candidate
Authors: Muhammad Adamu Abbas  , Rapeah Suppian
Published: October 2023

Malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites which have developed resistance to all anti-malaria drugs on the background resistance of the mosquito vector to insecticides, necessitating more intense search for an effective vaccine. A recombinant BCG (rBCG) vaccine candidate expressing the merozoite surface protein 1C (MSP-1C) of Plasmodium falciparum was developed in our laboratory, which generated robust innate and adaptive immune responses that pointed to the likelihood of the role of Toll- like receptor-4 (TLR-4). This study analysed the role TLR-4 attachment of the rBCG to macrophages in eliciting the observed immune responses. Mice (n = 6 per group) were immunised with PBS-T80, parent BCG or rBCG in the presence or absence of a TLR-4 inhibitor; TAK-242 and the effects of TLR-4 on the expression of c-Jun N-terminal kinases 1 and 2 (JNK1/2) and extracellular signal–regulated kinases 1 and

2 (ERK1/2) which are involved in the signalling pathway were analysed through western blot on macrophages harvested from the mice peritoneum. The results obtained showed a significant increase in the expression of the MAPKinases in the group immunised with rBCG compared to BCG and PBS-T80 immunised groups. There was significant inhibition of the JNK1/2 and ERK1/2 expression in the presence of TAK-242 signifying, for the first time, the role of TLR-4 in the phosphorylation of both JNK1/2 and ERK1/2 in the immune response against the vaccine candidate expressing the MSP-1C of P. falciparum. This study highlighted the role of TLR-4 in the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 in the immune response against recombinant BCG malaria vaccine candidate

Authors: Badiyya Hassan Mashi
Published: October 2023

Renewable energy such as the Biogas has recently been receiving attention. This may be connected to numerous advantages including energy security, and sustainability. However, several challenges including amount of gas produce, nature of substrate, high cost of production remains a problem. This research aimed at investigating biogas production from sugarcane bagasse, cow dung and co-digestion of the two substrates. In this research, sugarcane bagasse which is one of the most common wastes cellulosic materials was used as substrate to generate gas and to compare the rate of production with the most common substrate use (cow dung). Sample of sugarcane bagasse and cow dung ware obtain from Katsina metropolis. Samples were initially, processed (dried, and ground to powder) before preparing slurry in a specialize bioreactor that was constructed using a 900g tin. Three different sets of biogas were made including reactor containing co-digestion of bagasse with cow dung, cow dung alone and sugarcane bagasse alone. The gas generated was allowed only one passage via a tube and collected by downward delivery. The result shows that the digester containing co-digestion of sugarcane bagasse and cow dung has the highest cumulative biogas generation of 74.00 cm3, followed by the digester containing cow dung only which produces a total volume of 52.00 cm3, while  the digester containing sugarcane  bagasse only has  a  cumulative  biogas generation  of 39.00 cm3 with a pH range of 4.6 – 6.6. It was found that, agricultural wastes such as groundnut shell, rice straw maize cobs and sugarcane bagasse which naturally have been dumped carelessly as domestic waste especially when co-digested can provide an alternative substrate for efficient biogas production.

The problem in this study is regarding the status and legitimacy of the rights described by the land certificate as proof of land ownership. Residents of Tanjung Marulak Hamlet are legally entitled to receive a statement letter from the Regent alias SK-Regent as proof of ownership of their property. Land Certificate (SKT) is a written document owned by a private person who owns a piece of land but has not been certified; the weight of proof does not show the authenticity of the deed. In Indonesia, there are still many people who believe that land certificates have the same legal weight as other certificates, especially in Dusun Tanjung Marulak. The purpose of this study is to determine the position and legitimacy of rights to land certificates as proof of land ownership in the land law system. Researchers used normative legal research in this study which was supplemented by interviews. According to the current law, this investigation investigates and analyzes primary data and secondary data. Literature research in the library and field research in the field were both used to collect all data. This research is qualitative in nature. Based on the research results, the Land Certificate issued by the Regent of Tanjung Marulak Hamlet through Excerpt of Letter Number 69/DA/HML/LB/1980 is legal proof of land ownership.
