  Abstract
  Fresh water system has been a natural irreplaceable resource ever due to its potential to providing a continuous natural source of water for domestic and industrial purposes as well as a favorable breeding atmosphere for the growth of aquatic species. However, human activities such as illegal dumping of refuse in water render the safety of such water highly unbearable for drinking, domestic as well as economic activities such as irrigation and fishing. In the present study, heavy metals such as Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb were detected and quantitatively analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) in both water and muscle tissues of T. Zilli of Gwale Pond in Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria. The results of the one-way ANOVA test for both heavy metals distributions in the pond water as well as muscle tissue of T. Zilli were found to be highly significant (P <0.001). Subsequent post-hoc test (Bonferroni’s procedure) suggests that all the possible 4 pairs of mean scores are significantly different. The mean concentrations of the detected heavy metals in the pond water were found to be 2.75±1.37, 4.55± 1.81, 12.59±2.15 and 3.32±0.86 mg/L whereas the mean concentrations of the detected heavy metals in the muscle tissue of T. Zilli were found to be 4.50±0.69, 4.19±0.72, 13.48±2.31 and 5.40 ±01.92 mg/Kg corresponding to Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb respectively. The mean metals concentration values of Ni and Pb in both pond water and muscle tissue of T. Zilli were found to exceed the guidelines for the drinking water quality maximum permissible level of (Ni = 0.07 mg/L and Pb = 0.01/2 mg/L) as reported by FAO/WHO whereas Cu and Zn mean metals concentration values of (Cu =30 mg/L: Zn = 40 mg/L) in both pond water and muscle tissue of T. Zilli were found to have occurred within the range of the maximum permissible level of the standard water quality criteria recorded by FAO. The relatively higher values recorded for the heavy metals concentrations in the present study is an indication of water contamination which is well correlated with the relative higher values obtained for the pond water physicochemical parameters.

  Abstract
  Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. is reported to have many important medicinal properties. There are number of marketed herbal formulations containing bark extract of A. lebbeck (L.) Benth. which are used for treatment of ailments related to respiratory track. Catechin is a phytomarker present in bark of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. The present work discusses a thin-layer chromatography technique for isolation of catechin from extract of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. bark. Structure of isolated catechin was confirmed by spectral studies such as IR and GC-MS. Isolated catechin can be used as marker compound for marker-based standardization of extracts and formulations containing bark of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth.

  Abstract
  Trypanosomiasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease causing serious risksto the lives of about 60 million people and 48 million cattle globally. The current chemotherapy of trypanosomiasis relies on some of the drugs such as (suramin, pentamidine, melarsoprol, eflorinithine, arsobal and mel B) to mention but few which were developed more than 30 years ago. Others such as homidium, isometamidium and diminazene aceturate are used in animal infections. Each of these drugs has one or more of the following challenges: expensive, highly toxicity, parenteral administration and parasitic increasing resistance. Nigerian medicinal plants are known to contain a large variety of phytochemical components in the search for potential new drugs against the illness. Some of the plant extracts have been screened for anti-trypanosomes and they are classified based on their family and the specific part used against each parasite.
