Abstract: Cleome viscosa known as asian spider flower or yellow spider flower in English, it’s known as” wild mustard” the plant is called Namijin yar anguwa in hausa and ‘eya’zo’ in nupe. The plant is an anaul sticky herb with, it belongs to capperacea family it’s grow up to 30 - 60 cm height the flower is yellow, they ocour in the road side, grassland and sandy soil. The plant has many ethnomedicinal uses. This study investigated the phytochemical screening, proximate analysis and mineral analysis of C. viscosa root with the view of the nutritional values. The result of the phytochemical screening shows that alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, terpernoids, steroids, glycosides and tannis are present but saponnis is absent using ethanol as solvent extract. The proximate analysis result shows that the ash content was obtained as (5.0%), moisture content (6.5%), percentage crude protein (2.77%), percentage carbohydrate (15.73%), crude lipid (35.0%), and crude fibre (35.0%). The crude lipid and fibre with higher value shows that the C. viscosa is rich source of fibre and lipid. The estimated energy value was calculated as 355.76 kca/g show that C. viscosa root can be consider as calorie – dense food source. The result of mineral anysis of the has shown that C. viscosa root is rich in mineral, seven micro and macro mineral were detected which there concentrations were detected as Ca (0.74µg/ml), K (1.32µg/ml), Na (1.95µg/ml), Cu (0.044µg/ml), Mn (0.1905µg/ml), Fe (2.592µg/ml) and Zn (0.0028 µg/ml). Therefore, this study recommended that C. viscosa root can be included into day to day diet to improve nutrient intake and promote overall health and growth.

Abstract: In recent years, as the mortality from cancer is increasing in the world, the development of anticancer drugs is considered as one of the most important research. Epthilones appear as new anticancer agents that can inhibit tumor, therefore many people in the world are interested in it. Epthilones are mainly obtained through the process of biosynthesis by the strain Sorangium cellulosum- one kind of myxobacteria. In the production and manufacturing process of Epothilones, Amberlite XAD-16 that can effectively adsorb Epothilones is widely used, previous results of investigations show that it plays a very important role in the adsorption of Epothilones produced in the fermentation. However, because of high cost and a large amount consumption of XAD-16, the porous adsorption resin XD-5 replaces Amberlite XAD-16 in China. The porous adsorption resins such as Amberlite XAD-16 and polyamide resin are being used in the adsorption, separation and purification of various natural products such as flavonoids. In this paper we mentioned the data on the the adsorption and desorption effect of porous Nylon-6-resin with Epothilone B, compared to the effect of Amberlite XAD-16 and porous adsorption resin XD-5 resin. The result showed that the adsorption and desorption rate of Nylon-6-resin were similar to that of Amberlite XAD-16 and porous adsorption resin XD-5 in Epothilone B standard solution. And the effect of the sort and concentration of elution agent, elution time and extract number were examined in the desorption of Nylon-6-resin with Epothilone B. In conclusion, Nylon-6-resin can be used effectively for the purification of Epothilone B in the future.
