Arborinine is an acridone alkaloid found exclusively in Rutacae family has been shown to inhibit proliferation of a wide variety of cancer cell lines. The present study is aimed to isolate and investigate the anti-proliferative activity of arborinine, isolated from a Malaysian Rutaceae, G. pentapylla (Retz. D) on human mammary gland adenocarcinoma,

Mangroves forest plays an important role, ecologically and socioeconomically, which should be highly recognized on conservation program. However, mangrove areas of many Asian countries have been cleared for aquaculture activities, in particular, was mainly for shrimp aquaculture. From 1980 to 1990, Peninsular Malaysia also challenged the same probl

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysis that is important to speed up reaction. Enzymes can be found naturally from the microorganism such as bacteria, fungi and yeast which may not be genetically modified. In this perspectives, resorting to bioremediation to clean-up such environment may prove feasible and beneficial as microorganisms effe

The regulators and policy makers of Bangladesh are very much aware about the impact of climate change and pollution on the economy and quality of life of the citizens. This concern is manifested by the efforts to introduce the green banking policy and guidelines where green practices are promoted among the investors, financiers and businessmen. How

The paper examines the dating of writings on Islam originating in the Malay world in the form of either treatise (risālah) or book (kitāb) as there are disagreements on the date of the advent of Islam in the region.

Increasing utilization of living animals in ecological and biomedical research has drawn serious concerns in terms of animal welfare and ethical practices in animal handling. Significant attention has been given to animals of higher taxonomical hierarchy especially vertebrates such as fishes, rodents, reptiles and mammals, while ethical framework o

The adsorption of Malachite green (MG) onto Carbon Nanotubes Immobilized Biomass (CNTIB) was carried out in this research. The interactive effects of experimental variables such as Biosorbent loading, MG dye concentration and pH were investigated. Optimized conditions for adsorption studies were achieved by employing the Response Surface Methodolog

Biodiesel has become one of the leading options to replace fossil fuels as a source of energy. However, biodiesel production traditionally uses edible plants as it has high acid values, which in turn produce high quality oil. Moreover, current methods of producing biodiesel generate toxic waste as a result of chemical catalysts used to accelerate t

Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic influenza strains have highlighted the need to develop new anti-influenza drugs. Here, we report an in silico study of carvone derivatives to analyze their binding modes with neuraminidase (NA) active sites. Two proposed carvone analogues, CV(A) and CV(B), with 36 designed ligands were predicted to inhibit NA (

Introduction: The SNAP-IV, consisted of 26 items, is one of the behaviour rating scales based on teacher-parent perception to screen the ADHD core symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity and inattention, together with symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). The original SNAP-IV has been psychometrically validated with report of high reliabil
