A research team at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Basrah, consisting of Dr. Wasfi Aboud Al-Masoudi, Dr. Nawras Abd Al-Ilah Alwan, Teacher Muhannad Hassan Lafta and Professor Harith Yarob, obtained a patent for preparing a new compound developed from the pyrimidine compound and study its effect on clinical chemical parameters in laboratory rabbits created with a high level of fat extracted from field buffalo.
The patent included the preparation of a new compound that was diagnosed using spectral methods and accurate elemental analysis. The analyzes proved the validity of the chemical composition of the new compound and tested its effectiveness in reducing the level of fat.
The new compound showed its effectiveness in reducing the level of lipids in male laboratory rabbits dosed with fat extracted from buffalo bones, then they were treated with the prepared compound, and a highly significant decrease was observed in blood lipid profiles compared to a drug that lowers lipid levels, atorvastatin. Thus, the prepared derivative is considered as a proposed drug to lower lipid levels.
