This thesis presents the out comings of research work carried out to study some Schiff bases and their transition metal complexes from their prospect biological perspective. Six Schiff bases and their twenty four new complexes of Co+2, Ni+2, Cu+2 and Zn+ were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibition and urease inhibition potentials. In order to characterize synthesized compounds, various physical and analytical methods were employed including CHN micro analysis, EI Mass spectroscopy, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, AAS, FTIR spectroscopy UVVis., scanning electron microscopy, conductivity measurements and magnetic susceptibility studies. It was determined that complexes of Cu+2 and Zn+2 had tetrahedral and distorted tetrahedral geometries respectively while complexes of Co+2 and Ni+2 acquired octahedral geometries. The complexes were found better antimicrobial agents than their parent Schiff base ligands. The antimicrobial activity of complexes was observed to be dose dependent, as the test concentration was increased the activity was also increased. Similar pattern was found for antifungal activity as well. The mechanism of antimicrobial action of complexes was suggested as the reduced polar metal center increases the lipophilic characteristic which is favorable for antimicrobial inhibition potential. Schiff base ligands were found more potent antioxidant agents than the complexes. The complexes showed less or no antioxidant potential and it was associated with deprotonation of hydroxyl group upon chelation. In the case of α-glucosidase inhibition potency, the metal complexes were noticeably more potent than the corresponding ligands. The ligand SBLC and their complexes were found most potent. The inhibition strength of the ligand SBLC was found to be 51%, best among all ligands while for the complexes of SBLC, the inhibition potential were between 51% and 64%. For urease inhibition, the ligands were found almost inactive against the enzyme. Complexes of all ligands showed however excellent inhibition strength. Complexes of copper for all ligands were particularly better inhibitors among all. The [Cu(SBLN)(OAc)] was found to be the best urease inhibitor with 88% inhibition against the enzyme and was much better than standard. On the bases of results obtained and literature reports, some suggestions are also proposed to produce new potential antibiotic drugs in current global scenario of the "post-antibiotic era".

ارشاد ڈیروی دی منقبت نگاری دیاں فکری و فنی خوبیاں

شاعری اک اجہی ربی نعمت تے صلاحیت ہے ، جو رب حساس تے چونویں بندیاں نوں ہی عطا کردا اے، ایس لئی کہ ایہہ بندے عام لوکائی توں اپنیاں ایہناں خوبیاں پاروں سماج اندر اپنی وکھری پچھان تے مقام رکھدے ہن ، اکثر ویکھن وچ آیا ہے ، کہ جدوں کوئی بندہ شاعری شروع کردا اے، تاں اپنے آپ نوں کسے خاص صنف سخن نال جوڑکے باقی دیاں اصناف سخن نالوں ناطہ توڑ لیندا اے، پر ارشادؔ ڈیروی وانگ بہت گھٹ شاعر ہن جوا کو ویلے کامیابی نال ہرصنف سخن وچ نہ صرف طبع ازمائی کردے نیں سگوں ہر صنف سخن وچ ہر قسم دے موضوعات نوں بیان کرن دی صلاحیت وی رکھدے نیں ، عام قاری دے لئی ارشادؔ ہوری اک مرثیہ گو شاعر ہوون گے پراوہناں لوکاںآپ دی شاعری نوں کدے گوہ نال پڑھن دی کھیچل ای نئیں کیتی، اوہناں اپنی شاعری وچ حیاتی نال تعلق رکھن والے ہر موضوع نوں بیان کیتا اے ، کجھ دا ویروا کیتا جانداے۔

حمد

حمد عربی زبان دا لفظ اے جس نے معنی تعریف کرنا ، شکر کرنا اے ، (۱)حمد دا مطلب اے الحمد للہ کہنا ، حمد (ع،امث)خدا کی تعریف (افعال ، کرنا، ہونا،)، (۲)الحمدلہ، یعنی الحمد للہ، سب تعریف اللہ کے لیے ہے، کیو ںجے ساریاں صفتاں دا منبع تے مرجع اوسے دی ذات اے، قرآن پاک وچ ’’لہ الحمد‘‘  دے الفاظ(۲۴وار) استعمال ہوئے نیں ،(۳)ایسے لئی مسلمان ’’الحمد للہ‘‘ دے الفاظ کثرت نال ورت دے نیں ، جس توں مراد اللہ تعالیٰ دی تعریف تے شکر لیندے نیں ، کیوں جے اوہناں دا عقیدہ اے ، پئی خوشیاں تے غم ، دکھ تے مصیبتاں ، آرام تے سکون خوش حالی تے رزق ، زندگی تے...

South Asian Orient: Colonial Epistemological Inquiry and its Modern Connections

As analysts assume that the South Asian regional political environment is difficult to comprehend due to its ethnic divisions and lingual bifurcations as the region hosts more than one and half billion inhabitants divided into India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. Geographic diversity makes this region unique from all other regions in the world as it is bordered off the Persian Gulf and Arab world through the Indian ocean and opened up from Central Asia to the northern hemisphere. Such a racial, geographic, cultural, lingual and religious diversification had undergone epistemological inquiry during the colonial period in order to devise a central administrative system of regulating Raj’s affairs for the upcoming global world. Therefore, there emerged a unique sense of exploring the unfathomability and multiplicity of the scattering communalities. Through employing Edward W. Said’s critical framework, the present study exposes main theoretical Orientalist formulations by deconstructing major Western theories on South Asian cultures, geography and societies along with its connectivity to the overlapping of global power interests in the present world.

Regulation of Growth and Some Key Physiological and Biochemical Attributes in Salt Stressed Plants of Rice Oryza Sativa L. by Exogenous Application of Nitric Oxide

Keeping in view the newly discovered role of nitric oxide in plant growth, development and salt tolerance, an initial experiment was carried out for optimization of nitric oxide concentrations, which were most effective in improving the seed germination rate and early seedlings growth in rice under saline stress. Pre-sowing seed treatment with varying levels (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 mM) of nitric oxide was applied to seeds of four rice cultivars (Shaheen Basmati, Basmati PB-95, KS-282 and IRRI-6), which were subjected to two levels (0 and 80 mM) of salt stress. Salt stress markedly inhibited the seed germination attributes and early seedlings growth in all four rice cultivars. Of all nitric oxide levels 0.5 mM was slightly effective, however, 0.1 and 0.2 mM were most effective in improving seed germination attributes and early seedlings growth of salt stressed rice plants. The both levels (0.1 and 0.2 mM), which were found relatively more effective in first experiment, were used in the yield experiment to study the regulatory role of nitric oxide on various growth, physiological and biochemical attributes of salt stressed rice plants. In this experiment both pre-sowing seed treatment and foliar spray modes were adopted for exogenous addition of nitric oxide to salt stressed rice plants. Salt stress caused a marked suppression growth, chlorophyll content, gas exchange attributes, chlorophyll fluorescence, uptake of essential nutrients, total phenolics and yield content while increased tissue Na+ and Cl- , proline, ascorbic acid, MDA, H2O2 and the activity of antioxidant enzymes including CAT, POD and SOD in all four rice cultivars. Of both nitric oxide levels, 0.1 mM was relatively more effective in improving growth and physiological attributes of salt stressed rice plants as compared to 0.2 mM. Of all four rice cultivars, Shaheen Basmati and IRRI-6 performed better for chlorophyll content, gas exchange attributes and activity of enzymatic antioxidants (SOD, POD and CAT), while KS-282 and IRRI-6 performed better for, total phenolics and yield content. Overall, exogenous nitric oxide treatment was effective in improving fresh and dry biomasses (in both shoots and roots), chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, water relation attributes, K+/Na+ ratio, Ca2+ content, activity of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants and proline content, while in decreasing Na+ and Cl- ions, MDA and H2O2 content.
