Therefore, this study empirically investigates the customers' awareness on Syariah Compliant concept and practices.

Their structures were established on the basis of their spectroscopic evidence and comparison with the published data. The cytotoxic activity of the compounds was tested against several cell lines in which compound 4 was found to inhibit strongly the growth of HL-60 cell line.
