Nymphaea caerulea (Blue water lily) is an esthetically pleasing aquatic plant which is widely located across India and Africa. The blue water lily contains an alkaloid called apomorphine which is said to be a sedative, and a nonselective dopamine agonist and is now available in the local and online market in the form of powders and oils for various...

Nymphaea caerulea, commonly called the blue water lily, is studied to contain an alkaloid called Apomorphine, which has possible psychoactive activity. This study aims to correlate this activity by computationally studying its interaction at the molecular level. This study employs the use of molecular docking tools to study, analyze, and visualize...

This research introduces a new voltammetric method for detecting delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), addressing the widespread concern over marijuana's illegal use. Utilizing methanol, potassium nitrate as a supporting electrolyte, and a screen-printed carbon electrode, the study developed a precise approach to identify THC and its functional group...

Illicit use of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances is becoming a major problem in India. People from different age groups are consuming illicit drugs and experiencing dependence and addiction problem. Cannabis is one such drug, a flowering plant having psychoactive nature due to presence of different cannabinoids. Its analysis in stepwise ma...

Screen printing technology is a method of ink-based printing that utilizes a stencil mesh screen to create a visual pattern on a flat surface, such as plastic or silk. This process finds application in the production of screen-printed electrodes, which are utilized in electrochemical cells as part of voltammetric techniques. These electrodes offer...

Narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances (NDPS) are in high demand in today's culture, particularly among youngsters. The application of science and technology in the illicit drug trade makes them more accessible to drug addicts. Tablets, sticky/non-sticky gels, resins, liquids, and other forms of NDPS are all available. Some medications are prod...

Cannabinoids like cannabidiol, cannabinol, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (∆9-THC) and several others are present in Cannabis drug. Under the NDPS Act of 1985, the cultivation, possession, use, transportation and trade of cannabis is crime. It is crucial forensic laboratory practice to identify and quantify ∆9-THC for prosecuting and reward purposes....

Cannabis is recorded to be the most used drug in the world. This causes a lot of difficulties for developing countries to curb the illegal cultivation, sale, and use of cannabis. The main psychoactive component of the cannabis plant is D9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The introduction of mobile forensic labs has greatly increased the testing efficien...

The present invention relates to a presumptive colour test which is a preliminary test for the detection of barbiturates in a sample. In this test, barbiturates react with di-isopropylamine to form a blue violet to purple colour complex. Hence change of colour to blue violet - purple indicates the presence of barbiturates in the analyzed sample. Th...

Drug trafficking is the worldwide practice of distributing drugs and other substances which are legally banned under narcotics and associated laws. It includes the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and sale of controlled substances. In India, the use of drugs in society especially among the younger generation has increased in the past decade...

Screen printing technology is a process of ink printing using a stencil mesh screen to make a design on a flat surface like plastic, silk, etc. This technique is employed to fabricate screen-printed electrodes that are used in the electrochemical cell which is a part of voltammetric techniques and which are easy and portable as compare to more comp...
