Cognitive dysfunction or brain fog is a major public health concern of 21st century associated with many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer Disease (AD). Memory is the key function of brain where the neural circuitry necessary for memory and learning is present in hippocampus of the brain. Nootropic drugs help in boosting cognitive skills while amnestic drugs disturb memory and learning process. The potential pharmacological role of flavonoids with special emphasis on their nueroprotective and nootropic effects is still uneplored. In this connection, the current research study was planned to synthesize flavonols with substitution and were subjected to a series of tests to examine their antioxidant potentials, safety and enzyme inhibition, molecular docking, nootropic activity and their biomarker studies. A simple and convenient methodology for flavonol derivatives (OF1-OF12) was used to synthesize the flavonols from ketone and substituted benzaldehyde. Initially electronically and chemically different flavonol derivatives (OF1-OF6) were synthesized. OF1 being the parent flavonol has hydrogen on its para position. The OF2 (N,N-dimethyl, N(CH3)2, strong electron donating and activating ), OF3 (chlorine, Cl, halogen), OF4 (methyl group, CH3, slightly electron donating and slightly activating), OF5 (methoxy group, OCH3, strong electron donating and strong activating) and OF6 (trifluoromethyl, CF3, strong electron withdrawing and strong deactivating) were synthesized and characterized. Similarly, flavonol derivatives OF7 and OF8 by changing the position of methoxy group from para to ortho and meta position followed by synthesis of dimethoxy derivatives of flavonols (OF9-OF12) in order to see the effect of 2nd methoxy group. The flavonol derivatives (OF1-OF12) studied in the acute and sub acute toxicity at different dose levels in phases were safe and suggested to be virtually nontoxic. The molecular docking studies of different flavonol derivatives attested the in-vitro cholinesterase (acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase) studies. The assessment of nootropic potentials of the selected synthetic flavonols (OF1-OF12) at the dose of 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg was done out by applying well established passive avoidance step through test, passive avoidance step down test and novel object recognition (NORT) assay models. At a dose of 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg, all the tested flavonol exhibited a significant (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, n=8) step through latency (STL) that are comparable to amnesic group (scopolamine treated). Among the different flavonol derivatives, OF5 and OF11 were found the most potent flavonols suggesting that methoxy group is important for activity. The OF5 has methoxy group (OCH3) at para position and OF11 has methoxy groups (OCH3) at ortho and para position which is strong electron donating and activating group. In the passive avoidance step down test, the step down latency and in NORT, the percent discrimination index DI was also significant when mice were treated with flavonols (OF1-OF12) and tested against these models. In addition, it showed that synthetic flavonols (OF1-OF12) is decreasing the acetyl cholinesterase activity while also increasing the acetylcholine levels in the brain of test animals. The synthetic flavonols (OF1-OF12) significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, GSH and CAT) and reduced lipid peroxidation (MDA level) in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of brain. Pretreatment of mice with synthetic flavonols (OF1-OF12) produced significant change in SOD activity (2.94 to 2.25 folds) in the hippocampus and frontal cortex when compared with scopolamine treated (amnesic) group. Moreover, treatment of OF5 and OF11 significantly increased (P< 0.001) SOD activity by 2.82 (29.83±2.01, n=8) and 2.94 (31.07±1.92, n=8) folds compared to amnesic group. Moreover, the pretreatment of mice treated with 50 mg/kg of synthetic flavonols (OF1- OF12) significantly increased catalase levels in the hippocampus (4.06 to 2.93 folds) and frontal cortex (3.35 to 2.65 folds) when compared to amnesic. The synthetic flavonols (OF1-OF12) prevented scopolamine-induced elevation in MDA level as indicated by significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.001, n=8) less MDA level in mice brain regions (hippocampus and cortex). There was significant rise (P<0.05, P<0.01 and P<0.001) in level of GSH in brain regions (hippocampus 3.66 to 3.44 folds and frontal cortex 3.22 to 2.73 folds) of group treated with synthetic flavonols (OF1-OF12) in comparison to scopolamine group. In short, the correlation of in-vitro study, in-vivo and ex-vivo animal study of synthetic flavonols (OF1-OF12) at the dose of 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg significantly improved the memory of mice and reversed the amnesic response induced by scopolamine.

خاندان مراتب اور ادب

                سیّد مراتب علی اختر کے اجداد سے لے کر اب تک گیلانی سادات ادب کے پودے کی آبیاری میں مصروف ہیں۔ یوں تو تصوف اور ادب کا چولی دامن کا ساتھ ہے اس لئے اہل تصوف کا ادب شناس اور صاحب ذوق ہونا لازمی امر ہے مگر اس خاندان کی ہستیاں جنھوں نے خود شعر کہے ان کا ذکر کچھ یوں ہے۔

حضرت شیخ غوث محمد اُچی

                آپ سادات شیخو کے جدّامجد ہیں آپ صاحبِ دیوان شاعر تھے اور آپ کا دیوان ’’دیوانِ قادری‘‘ کے نام سے موجود ہے۔(۱)پروفیسر ڈاکٹر محمد جمیل قلندر اس پر تحقیق کر رہے ہیں۔آپ مشاہیر و اکابرسادات حسنی ہیں حضرت غوث ِاعظمؒ سے نسبت آبائی ہے۔ صاحبِ عظمت و کرامت، واقفِ منقول ومعقول تھے۔ عبادت و ریاضت اور زہدوورعمیں یکتائے روزگار تھے۔

سیّد اصغر علی گیلانی صاحبِ شجرۃ الانوار رقم طراز ہیں کہ سیّد محمد کے بزرگوں میں سے اوّل سید ابوالعباس بن سید صفی الدین سیدعبدالقادر جیلانیؒ اپنے چھوٹے بھائی سید ابو سلیمان کے ساتھ 656ہجری میں ہلاکو خاں تاتاری کے حملہ بغداد اور قتل و غارت کے وقت بغداد سے نکل کر روم آگئے۔ پھر جب کچھ امن و امان ہوا تو حلب میں آکر اقامت گزین ہوگئے۔ سید محمد غوث یہیں پیدا ہوئے۔ تعلیم و تربیت اپنے والد سے حاصل کی۔ عنفوان شباب میں پدر بزرگوار کی اجازت سے مختلف ممالک اسلامیہ کی سیر و سیاحت کو نکلے ، حرمین الشریفین کی حج و زیارت سے مشرف ہوئے۔ عراق، عرب، ایران، خراسان، ترکستان اور سندھ و ہند کی طویل سیاحت کی۔ یہاں کے اکابر علماء وفضلا اور مشائخ و صوفیا سے ملاقاتیں کیں۔ لاہور بھی تشریف لائے۔چندے یہاں قیام کیا پھر ناگور چلے گئے۔ یہاں ایک مسجد تعمیر کی۔...

قدیم پنجابی زبان: ہڑپا وادی دی زبان

There are different theories about languages in the world. Linguistics provided different views on the origin of different languages. The Punjabi language is a one of the oldest languages in the world. According to my view, its origin is Dakan, Punjab, Sind etc. This article explores the effects of the Harappan Era on the Punjabi language. Historical references have been made to prove that the language of Harappa was ancient Punjabi.

Culture of Low Justice Delivery at Grassroots Level: A Case Study of Punjab Local Government Ordinance, 2001 2006-2011

This study consists of Punjab Local Government Ordinance 2001 about low (petty disputes) jus-tice delivery at the grassroots level as enshrined in chapter XI of Sections 102 to 106 as “Musalihat Anjumans” (Conciliation Courts). The system had been serving the people in minor civil and crim-inal disputes (low justice delivery) at the Union Council stage especially from 2006 to 2011 in Bahawalpur District. In the case study, as an important tool of qualitative and quantitative research methods, Semi-structured interviews have been conducted by the Research Scholar from the most concerned personalities starting from Mr. Justice and Senior Judge of Lahore High Court, Baha-walpur Bench to the Chairman, Municipal Committee, Ahmadpur East, Bahawalpur District. Moreover, as a measure of quantitative research method, original case files of civil and criminal formal courts of Bahawalpur and Punjab as well as from the informal court which is an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Centre at Bahawalpur District Headquarter have also been examined by the Research Scholar. These ADR centers have been functioning since March, 2017 not at the grassroots level but in every district headquarter of the Punjab Province by the order of Chief Justice, Lahore High Court. The result of all these adopted qualitative and quantitative social sci-entific research methods show that conciliation process through Musalihat Anjumans (Concilia-tion Courts) under ADR mechanism at Bahawalpur District of Punjab Province remained a suc-cessful exercise during 2006 to 2011 as question No. 1, whereas research question No.2 and 3 have also been proved. Even in 2017 not at grass roots level but at District Headquarters level, ADR centres have been functioning for speedy justice delivery. On the other hand in formal civil and criminal courts justice delivery systems have been declared as a delayed justice delivery sys-tem from 2006 to 2011 and even in 2017. In the light of this successful case study government can learn from the experience of Bahawalpur district and can draw guidelines for the improvement of justice system in other districts of Pakistan.
