Therapeutic management of diarrhoea in Indian star tortoises

Abstract

Two Indian star tortoises (Geochelone elegans) were referred with a complaint of the passing of watery faeces, reduced feed intake and dullness for the last six days. Another tortoise in the same captive area was reported to be died a few days back showing the similar signs. Microscopic examination of the faecal samples revealed the presence of Ascarid type of parasitic ova. They were successfully treated with oral fenbendazole @ 50mg/kg body weight, enrofloxacin @ 5mg/kg body weight along with the multivitamin supplementation. Uneventful recovery was noticed after the third day of therapy.

Synthesis and substrate-controlled reactions of 2,2′-unsaturated biquinazolinones

“…13,14 The desired product 2, was collected in 80% yield by simple filtration and purified by recrystallization from toluene. With 2 in hand, we started to investigate the preparation of the 2,2'-bisstyrylbiquinazolinone.…”

tert-Butanesulfinamides as Nitrogen Nucleophiles in Carbon–Nitrogen Bond Forming Reactions

“…[23] However, in solvents with higher polarity, similar cyclizations have been accomplished without the crown ether additive. For instance, the formation of tetrahydroisoquinolines such as 10 has been achieved in DMF at room temperature, [24] and 3-substituted piperidines like 11 have been prepared in DMSO at 80°C. [25] Finally, even though ring closure to afford seven-membered rings is not always straightforward, [18b] azepane formation has been reported by intramolecular displacement of a bromide following deprotonation with KHMDS, [13] as in the case of 12, as well as by displacement of a tosylate leaving group using NaH (formation of 13).…”

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Triazole linked Thiazolidenone Glycosides

“…Following the successful introduction of antimicrobial and nematicidal agents, inspired by the biological profile of triazoles, thiazolidenones, and in the continuation of our work on biologically active heterocycles, [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] we have developed a series of novel triazole linked thiazolidenone derivatives, and evaluated their nematicidal activity along with antibacterial activity.…”
