Antispasmodic action of 5-methyl benzoxazoline-2-one: A preliminary study
(Indian Pharmacological Society, 1997)In the present study, compound (1) depressed both phases of the dose-response curve. The marked effect on 5-HT response cannot be attributed solely to an antimuscarinic action of the compound which was much less (66%) as ... -
Contamination of organochlorine pesticides in sediments from the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India
(Pergamon, 1997)The levels of contamination of various organochlorine pesticides in HCHs, DDTs aldrine dieldrin and endrin were determined in marine and estuarine sediments along the west coast of India. The concentration of various ... -
