Asthmagenic properties of a newly developed detergent ingredient: sodium iso-nonanoyl oxybenzene sulphonate.

Controlled trial of intermittent aerosol therapy with sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulphonate in cystic fibrosis.

Twenty-seven patients with cystic fibrosis completed a controlled trial comparing the effects of an inhaled mucolytic drug, sodium-2-mercaptoethane sulphonate (Mistabron, UCB Pharmaceutical Division, Brussels, Belgium), with inhaled iso-osmolar hypertonic saline. As a group the 22 patients with chronic sputum production showed small but statistically significant improvement in pulmonary functio...

Isolation and characterization of synthetic detergent- degraders from wastewater

The biodegradability of the principal component of synthetic detergent products known as linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LAS) has been contentious, hence the need to evaluate its primary biodegradation by indigenous microorganisms in wastewater ecosystem. The native microbial consortium of a wastewater ecosystem found to utilize detergent components were characterized using standard and convent...

Quality Control and Standardization of Rabeprazole Tablets

Rabeprazole sodium is a new stable pharmaceutical composition developed by us in tablet form, consisting of rabeprazole sodium as active ingredient, excipients, a separating layer and enteric coating. The manufacturing method involves pressing with preliminary wet granulation. In this work, a method was developed for the quantitative determination of rabeprazole sodium in tablets with simultane...

Acute Toxicity of Surfactants and Detergent-based Decontaminants in Mice and Rats

Detergent-based mixtures and pure surfactants used as decontaminants in mass casualty scenarios were investigated for their acute 24 h toxicity. Commercial detergents Neodekont, Argos, Dermogel, and FloraFree were tested in male Wistar rats after percutaneous, peroral and intramuscular administration. Pure surfactants althosan MB, sodium alkylbenzene sulphonate, triton X, benzyl dimethyl dodecy...
