Assist. Prof. Dr. Duha Zaki Abdul Razzaq and Prof. Dr. Ahmed Jassim Mohammed, from the department of biology at the college of science, along with professors from Al-Nahrain University and the University of Technology, has received a patent for their research paper entitled “The effect of Acetamiprid nanopesticide on some physiological and biochemical standards in white mice” after the fulfillment of the requirements for obtaining it from the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC).
The study aimed to diagnosis the nanocapsule through the use of the dynamic light scattering (DLS) technology, atomic force microscope and permeable electron microscopy in order to show how to measure the effective electric charge on the surface of nanoparticles, as well as to discover the effects of nano-acetampraid on biochemical abnormalities and DNA in white mice. The results of the permeable electron microscope showed that the diameter of the nanocapsules was less than sixty nanometers and that the adequacy of the encapsulation of acetampride in the nanocapsule mediators was 88.65%, which was measured by the UV spectroscopy, while the nanopesticide showed low toxicity compared to the form manufactured from acetampride in the biochemical and molecular indicators of white mice, revealing that the effects of nanoacetampraid on egg mice was lower than the acetampraid manufactured in a concentration of 40 mg / kg.
