Methyl methacrylate-butyl methacrylate copolymer (MMBM)-dibutyl phthalate (DBP) films were investigated as a potential topical drug delivery system for the controlled release of nitrofurazone. The kinetic analysis of release data indicated that drug release followed a diffusion-controlled granular matrix model, where the quantity released per unit area is proportional to the square root of time. DBP of several hydrophobic plasticizers selected was found to give the highest release of nitrofurazone. However, hydrophilic plasticizers such as propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol 400 had no controlled release properties and acceptable film formation. The effects of changes in film composition, drug concentration, film thickness, pH of release medium, and temperature on the in vitro release of nitrofurazone were analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. The release rate constant (k') was found to be proportional to DBP content, pH, and the temperature of release medium, but independent of film thickness, and drug concentration in a range of 0.1-0.4% by weight. The linear relationship was found to exist between the log k' and DBP content. The release of nitrofurazone from MMBM-DBP (8:2) films was found to be an energy-linked process. Two energy terms were calculated ; the activation energy for matrix diffusion was 13.45 kcal/mole, and the heat of drug crystal solvation was 27.26-29.34 kcal/mole. Observation of scanning electron micrographs and microscopic photographs showed that the incorporation of DBP in films increased markedly the particle size of nitrofurazone dispersed in the film matrix, comparing with the fine dispersion of nitrofurazone in pure MMBM film alone.

In the presence of dithionite, two kinds of molybdothiol complexes, particularly isolated Mo-cysteine complexes, used as models for xanthine oxidase or aldehyde oxidase exhibited catalytic activity on the reduction of nitrofurazone to its amino derivative. Of the two Mo-cysteine complexes, the activity of oxo-bridged one was apparently greater than that of sulfido-bridged one. The promoting effect was hardly shown by added cofactors or their replacements of the enzymes. The catalyzed reduction is considered to take place by consecutive direct two-electron transfer mechanism from catalytically active reduced form of the molybdothiol complexes to nitrofurazone and the probable intermediates.

Aspergillus usamii shirousamii $U_2$ 균(菌)의 극식배양에 의한 유기산 및 당화효소생성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 공시항균제(供試抗菌劑)중 일정한 농도(濃度)의 nitrofurazone과 $AF_2$의 첨가(添加)에 의하여 유기산과 당화효소(糖化酵素)의 생성이 촉진되었다. 2) 유기산의 생성은 밀가루에 $AF_2$ 10ppm 용액을 50% 첨수(添水)한 배지에서 가장 좋았다. 3) 당화효소(糖化酵素)의 생성은 밀기울에 nitrofurazone $100{\sim}500ppm$ 용액을 100% 첨수(添水)한 배지에서 가장 양호하였다.

The wound healing potential of the methanol extract of Hypericum mysorense Wight and Arn. Leaves (Family: Hypericaceae) was evaluated on different experimental models of wounds in rats. The methanol extract of leaves of Hypericum mysorense (HMM), in the form of ointment in two different concentrations (5% and 10% w/w ointment of aerial part extract in simple ointment base) was evaluated for wound healing potential in excision wound model and incision wound model in rats. Both the concentrations of the methanol extract ointment showed significant responses in both the wound types tested when compared with the control group. The effect produced by the extract ointment, in terms of wound contracting ability, wound closure time, regeneration of tissues at wound site, tensile strength of the wound and histopathological characteristics were comparable to those of a standard drug Nitrofurazone ointment.

Cassia fistula commonly known as Sundali was selected to evaluate its wound healing potentials based on traditional use and literature references. Methanol extract of C. fistula leaves were examined for its wound healing property in the form of an ointment in two types of wound models in rats: i) Excision wound model and ii) Incision wound model. The ointment of the leaf extract of two different concentrations (5% and 10% w/w ointment of leaves extract in simple ointment base) responded significantly in both models of wounds tested. The results were also comparable to that of standard drug, nitrofurazone in terms of wound contraction ability, epithelisation period, tensile strength and regeneration of tissue at wound area.

The synergistic actions of certain antimetabolic agents for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum on radiation sterilization have been studied. The used chemical agents are sorbic acid, vitamin-$K_3$, dehydroacetic acid, p-oxybutyl benzoate and nitrofurazone, those are the permitted as food preservatives. Experimental results are as following, 1) Survival fraction of yeast which was gamma-irradiated and influenced by sorbic acid or vitamin $K_3$ is much reduced than that of only irradiated respectively. 2) It seems like that the used chemicals acts synergistically on radiation sterilization. Sodium-dehydroacetate and p-oxybutyl benzoate are proved to be also synergistic but weakly. 3) Survival fraction of Lact. plantarum which was gamma-irradiated and influenced by sorbic acid, dehydroacetic acid or nitrofurazone respectively much reduced than that of only irradiated group, it can be estimated as synergistic action of chemical affected on radiation sterilization. 4) It was found that nutrient componets can affect radiation sterilization of microorganisms protectively.

The lateral hoof of right hind limb of a pregnant Masai giraffe was accidentally injured, and its coronet, hoof wall, and sole were detached in a mass. The bleeding was observed from the exposed dermis of the affected foot for several hours, with second scoreof supporting lameness. The bleeding from the digital artery at the exposed dermis was stopped by epinephrine spray and direct pressing. Nitrofurazone ointment was topocally applied for 5 days and sxytetracycline solusion was delivered by a fluid jet in the affected hoof one month. The calf was born 5 months after the avulsion. The horn of the hoof wall was grown from the coronet to sole, and was gradually filled from the heel to the toe. The growth rate and filling rate of the hoof wall were 0.32mm and 0.54mm a day, respectively.

Aqueous and ethanolic extract of leaves of Canthium parviflorum were evaluated for wound healing and diuretic activities. Extract in the form of ointment is applied topically on excision wound in rats showed significant healing process as evidenced by increased rate of wound contraction as compared to control. The aqueous extract of 10% w/w ointment exhibited equivalent wound healing activity as Nitrofurazone oinment. Significant diuretic activity was exhibited by extracts. Graded dose response for both activities were observed for the extracts.

Bacopa monnieri is being used in the traditional system of medicine for a variety of ailments. In the present study, the ethanolic extract of Bacopa monnieri aerial parts has been studied for its wound healing activity using various models in rats. Significant increase in wound contraction and skin breaking strength were observed in the excision and incision wound models respectively. There was also significant increase in hydroxyproline content, DNA content, superoxide dismutase activity, catalase activity, glutathione level and decrease in the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the $12^{th}$ day post wounding tissue of experimental rats in the ethanol extract treated groups with respect to the control group. The effect of the extract was found to be comparable with the standard drug nitrofurazone. From the results it may be concluded that the plant Bacopa monnieri is endowed with significant wound healing activity, thereby justifying its use in the traditional medicine. Saponins may be responsible for the observed wound healing activity.
