Cryptosporidiosis is considered a crucial zoonotic disease caused by widely distributing parasitic protozoa called Cryptosporidium spp. Nitazoxanide is the only FDA-approved drug but is only effective with a good immune response of the host. In addressing this unmet medical need, we previously identified a compound, namely, LN002, as a potent alter...
This chapter presents an accurate method to prepare, analyze, and quantify secondary lipid oxidation products namely malonaldehyde MDA (as MDA-(TBA)2) and TBA reactive substances (TBA-RS). Each step of the extraction of the targeted compounds, preparation of MDA standard, external calibration, and finally analysis of the reaction media are presente...
Tocopherols and to a lesser extent tocotrienols were widely present in food from animal and vegetable origin. Some of these compounds exhibited a vitamin E activity and played a major action in the cell antioxidant defence system and as antioxidants per se in foods. Tocols were mainly present in the human diet. Thus, accurate quantification of toco...

This study included two paths: the first was to extract the active compounds from the leaves and flowers of Lantana camara L. using a Soxhleet device, and then to conduct the hydrolysis acid process for the methanolic extract to separate the phenolic compounds. The alkaloid compounds were also separated from the methanolic extract and diagnosed wit...
