Title: ANTITUBERCULAR ACTIVITY OF SOME NEWER 6-PYRIDAZINONE DERIVATIVES
Abstract: Two series of 6-pyridazinone derivatives (17-30) were synthesized and evaluated for antitubercular activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. The results indicated that among the synthesized compounds, 5-( 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl}-3-phenyl-1,6-dihydro-6-pyridazinone (23) showed good antitubercular activity. Three more compounds, (18, 25 & 27) were significant in their antitubercular action. The present study reveals the antitubercular potential of 6-pyridazinones.

Keywords: Pyridazinone, antitubercular, mycobacteria, furanone.

Title: REACTION OF NITRILIMINES WITH SUBSTITUTED HYDRAZINES: SYNTHESIS OF 1,2,4,5-TETRAAZA-3-PENTENES AND FORMAZANS
Abstract: A series of 1,2, 4, 5-tetraaza-3-pentenes 4a-j were synthesized by the reaction of appropriate nitrilimines 2 with substituted hydrazines (H2NNHCOR, R=Ph, OMe) 3. Heating the compounds 4a-j with activated charcoal in refluxing benzene oxidized to formazans 5a-j and some formazans 5fj (R = OMe) gave s-tetrazinones 6fj in presence of lithium hydride. The microanalysis and spectral data of the synthesized compounds are in fall agreement with their molecular structure.

Keywords: Nitrilimines, 1,2,4,5-tetraaza-3-pentenes, formazans, s-tetrazinones.

Title: ARTHUR F. F.ISHKIN, PROMINENT BIOCHEMIST AND EDUCATOR
Abstract: Arthur Frederic Fishkin was born on May 27, 1930, in New York City, USA, and passed away peacefully in his sleep in Omaha, Nebraska on his 80th birthday, on May 27, 2010. He attended elementary and secondary school in New York, obtained a B.A. in Zoology from Indiana University in 1951 and an M.A. in 1953. He was awarded the Ph.D. Degree in Biochemistry from the University of Iowa in 1957. He held faculty positions at Louisiana State University, New Mexico State University, and Creighton University. His research activities dealt with enzymes and glycoproteins in connective tissues. He contributed to the training of thousands of students in the medical sciences for almost half a century.

Keywords: History of chemistry and biochemistry, glycoproteins in blood vessels, enzymes, medical education.

Title: SELECTED PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY BY EXTRACTS OF DERMESTID LARVAE
Abstract: The larvae of the Beetle Dermestes maculatus De Geer can subsist on a diet consisting largely of protein. Studies have been undertaken to investigate the nature of the proteolytic enzymes. A water extract of the larvae yielded a crude preparation which hydrolyzes gelatin, bide powder, hemoglobin substrate, benzoyl-DL-arginine p-nitroamilide, and glutaryl-L-phenylalanine p-nitroanilide. Enzyme activity was found in a non-dialyzable, heat- and acid0labile portion of the extract yielded two fractions with high specific activity towards gelatin. These are precipitated between 40% to 60% saturation of ammonium sulfate and 60% to 80% saturation. The higher specific activity was observed in the 40%-60% fraction. These results suggest that the larvae of these dermestids contain proteolytic enzymes with actions similar to mammalian trypsin and chymoytipsin. The results also suggest that other proteolytic enzymes may be present as well.

Keywords: Proteolytic activity, dermestid larvae.

Title: MINERALOGICAL ASPECTS OF ARSENIC -THE ARSENATE MINERALS
Abstract: Arsenic is an element known since ancient times. It is the 52nd element in order of chemical abundance in the Earth s crust with 1.8 ppm (grams per metric ton). Arsenic combines relatively easy with chlorine sulfur, oxygen, and many metals. This article describes some of the uses and properties of arsenic and arsenic compounds and presents a synopsis of the two hundred and seventy-eight (278) arsenate minerals known at the present time.

Keywords: Arsenic, mineralogical aspects, arsenates, uses of arsenic.
