The article is a summary of the medicinal and biological significance of the most important pharmacophore among the heterocycles having many biological activities, the Isoxazole. The isoxazole is a highly active scaffold exhibiting a wide variety of medicinal and biological activities. An attempt is made in this article to cover medicinally active compounds along with the recent discoveries, which were reported to posses various biological activities. This might be helpful in developing the novel lead molecules to potential drug candidates.Keywords

Glasshouse experiments were conducted to study the endophytic ability of six strains of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana in maize leaf and stem tissues when applied through foliar sprays of oil formulations. B. bassiana treated and untreated control plants were artificially infested with second instar larvae of Chilo partellus to assess the stem borer damage. All six strains showed varying percent colonization and persistence in stem and leaf tissues. The mean percent colonization ranged from 16.67-46.67 % in older stem tissues and 22.22-52.22 % in young stem tissues and in leaf, it ranged from 25.56-47.78 % in older leaf tissues and 31.11-57.78 % in young leaf tissues. Among six isolates tested, Bb-45 isolate recorded the maximum mean colonization in older stem (46.67 %), older leaf (47.78%) and in young stem (52.22 %). Bb-5a isolate showed maximum mean colonization in young leaf tissues (57.78 %). Significantly lower percentage of dead hearts (2.2-11.1%) and lower stem tunneling (2.7-4.3cm/plant) was observed in B. bassiana treated plants as compared to the untreated control plants (28.86% of dead hearts and 13.41cm/plant stem tunneling).

In this paper, the steady Magnetohydrodynamic free convection heat and mass transfer from a vertical surface in a doubly stratified Darcian porous medium has been studied. In addition viscous dissipation, internal heat generation, Soret and Dufour effects are presented numerically. The non–linear partial differential equations are transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved numerically by using implicit Crank–Nicolson finite difference scheme. The effect of various parameters such as Lewis number, magnetic parameter, Buoyancy ratio, Soret number, Dufour number, thermal and solutal stratification and Heat generation parameters on velocity, wall temperature and concentration are analyzed through plots.Keywords
