In Vivo Assessment of the Therapeutic Effects of Lyophilized Leech Saliva Extract from (Huridinaria Manillensis) on Lncap Tumor Xenograft Model in Nude Mice
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Ancient traditional physicians from many countries used leeching to treat a wide range of diseases for thousands of years. A large number of peptides and proteins have been identified and characterized in leech saliva extract (LSE), including anti thrombotic agents, cancer metastasis inhibitors and antimicrobials Currently, leech th

Mother Tongue and English Language: a Power Struggle
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the conflict of two languages, one being the mother tongue of a country and the other a second language of a country i.e. Bahasa Melayu and English language, in the process of empowering the society with knowledge in order to stay competitive in this challenging and ever-changing world. In so doing, the pap

A Novel Liquid/liquid Extraction Process Composed of Surfactant and Acetonitrile for Purification of Polygalacturonase Enzyme from Durio Zibethinus
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Polygalacturonase is one of the important enzymes used in various industries such as food, detergent, pharmaceutical, textile, pulp and paper. A novel liquid/liquid extraction process composed of surfactant and acetonitrile was employed for the first time to purify polygalacturonase from Durio zibethinus. The influences of different parameters such

α-glucosidase and 15-lipoxygenase Inhibitory Activities of Phytochemicals from Calophyllum Symingtonianum
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A phytochemical investigation of the crude extracts of the bark and leaves of Calophyllum symingtonianum has resulted in the isolation of inophyllum D, inophyllum H, calanone, isocordato-oblongic acid, amentoflavone, carpachromene and lupenone. Their chemical structures were elucidated and confirmed by spectroscopic analysis. All flavonoids and cou

Enforcement of Housing Law in Malaysia: Issues and Challenges
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Due to the significant nature of private housing project to public at large, housing developments in Malaysia is governed by stringent laws and regulations with the main purpose of protecting the interests of buyers. Despite the existence of these legal instruments, complaints on housing-related problems remain one of major consumers' complaint

In Vitro Antioxidant, Cholinesterase and Tyrosinase Inhibitory Activities of Calophyllum Symingtonianum and Calophyllum Depressinervosum (Guttiferae)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: To screen the antioxidant, cholinesterase and tyrosinase enzymatic inhibition activities of the leaves and heartwood of Calophyllum symingtonianum (C. symingtonianum), and the bark of Calophyllum depressinervosum (C. depressinervosum). Methods: Samples of leaves and heartwood of C. symingtonianum and bark of C. depressinervosum were test

Achievement of Ductile Regime Machining in High Speed End Milling of Soda Lime Glass by Using Tungsten Carbide Tool Insert
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Soda lime glass is widely used in optics, chemical apparatus, camera lens, micro gas turbines, light bulbs etc. on account of its high hardness, corrosion resistance, and excellent optical properties. These require high dimensional accuracy and flawless surface finish. However, soda lime glass is inherently brittle leading to subsurface crack propa

Formation of Hydrophobic Surface Using Two Stages Electrodeposition Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A simple and economical route based on a ZnCl2 mediated process was developed to synthesize hierarchical flower-like ZnO micro/nanoflakes on the surface of copper foil by 2 stages electrodeposition method (2M ZnCl2 – 0.5M ZnCl2). The prepared flakes were characterized by XRD and SEM. The morphology of ZnO can be tuned from simple isolated nanofla

Antioxidant, Cholinesterase and Tyrosinase Inhibitory Activities of Calophyllum Symingtonianum and Calophyllum Depressinervosum
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Calophyllum is a pan-tropical genus belongs to the Guttiferae family and locally known in Malaysia as “bintangor”. There has been a continual interest to further investigate the phytochemistry of Calophyllum spp since this genus is a rich source of active secondary metabolites. In this study, antioxidant, cholinesterase and tyrosinase enzymatic

Medical Devices: Product Safety and Product Liability Issues
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The paper aims to provide an overview of the potential liability of a manufacturer or distributor or other persons in the chain of product distribution for supplying unsafe or substandard medical devices and for any damage caused by a defect in the device. Just like other products, medical devices are also subject to the law of product safety and p
