This journal encompasses the study related to microbiology, biochemistry, clinical, medical, computational and engineering aspects relevant to biomedical sciences. Articles will be also considered from related analysis from cell biology, developmental biology, translational medicine, biomedical research, biomedicine, biomedical science, biomedical informatics, biomedical diagnostics, biomedical ethics, biomedical therapy, medical research, clinical research, physiology, pharmacology, reverse pharmacology, Systems and networking pharmacology, TCAM, personalized medicine disciplines. Submission of important articles containing advanced research output aiding in forwarding the subject are most welcome. The wide scope of the journal will aid in contributing a great measure of scientific information related to the advances in towards better healthcare. <a href="http://biosci.in/index.php/jrbms/about/submissions">Submit Online</a></p> <p><br><br></p>https://biosci.in/index.php/jrbms/article/view/115Screening of minimal inhibitory & fungicidal concentration (MIC & MFC) Of Purified Thurusu ( Copper Sulphate)2023-03-26T15:04:06+00:00Ethel Shiny Sethicalpublisher@gmail.comBharath Christianethicalpublisher@gmail.comGomathi Pethicalpublisher@gmail.com<p><em>Thurusu </em>or Crude copper sulphate(CuSo4) or is used as a raw drug in Siddha system of Medicine, it is available in nature and prepared synthetically by boiling Copper with Sulfuric acid. Chemically it exists in two forms hydrated form copper sulphate pentahydrate, it is blue in colour and anhydrous form copper sulphate ,it is pale green or grey white in colour. It is used after purification as a single drug or one of the ingredients in some metallo mineral formulations, it is widely used for external applications and internal formulations it has astringent, emetic, tonic, caustic and antiseptic actions, <em>thurusu</em> is normally used to heal ulcers, ulcers in male genital organ, eye diseases, <em>tiridhodam</em> etc .</p> <p> Hence in this pretext the fungicidal concentration of purified <em>thurusu</em> is validated by Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) methods.The MFC test allows determination of the minimum concentration of an agent necessary to achieve a fungicidal effect. It is worth noting, however, that the duration of time the antimicrobial is in contact with the test organism is quite long for this method, on the order of 18 hours. Thus, the test truly does determine the minimum concentration needed to kill the test organism, since all other parameters are conducive to biocidal effect. The MFC test can be a good and relatively inexpensive tool to rank a great number of antimicrobial agents by potency, for screening purposes. The MFC test can be used to evaluate formulation problems wherein the formulator suspects that the active ingredient is being “bound up” by other ingredients. The theory is that the MFC will be worse for a formula that has a portion of its active ingredient chemically combined with other ingredients, thus not available to kill microorganisms in the suspension.</p>2023-03-26T15:03:56+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Research in Biomedical Sciences
