Improved ultraviolet spectrophotometry of serum theophylline.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an improved method for ultraviolet spectrophotometry of theophylline in serum. We studied various extraction techniques aimed at eliminating interferences from co-extractable serum constituents. In the resulting modified procedure, 1 ml of serum is required and a salt-solvent pair of ammonium sulfate and chloroform/hexane is used for extraction. The solvent forms the top phase after extraction, the lower phase after back-extraction, thereby permitting easy removal of the appropriate phase from culture tubes. The use of ammonium sulfate coupled with the added specificity of the extraction solvent results in an extract with low background absorption and a well-defined spectrum for the extracted theophylline.

Improved determination of serum theophylline by gas chromatography with use of a nitrogen-phosphorus detector.
We describe a method for the 7-min determination of theophylline in less than 100 muL of serum. The procedure requires no centrifugation or solvent evaporation after extraction. Butylation is done on the gas-chromatographic column by injecting the serum extract followed by a butylating mixture which contains 1-iodobutane as the alkylating agent. The method is precise, accurate, and free of inte...
متن کاملUltraviolet spectrophotometry of theophylline in plasma in the presence of barbiturates.
Ultraviolet spectrophotometry is widely used for the analysis of theophylline in blood, for purposes of monitoring therapy, and for pharmacokinetic studies. Phenobarbital, a component of common oral theophylline preparations, interferes with assays now in use. The modification of the method of Schack and Waxler [J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 97, 283 (1949)] presented in this paper eliminates barbitu...
متن کاملSpectrophotometry of theophylline-7-acetic acid and theophylline.
A spectrophotometric assay procedure is described for individually measuring theophylline-7-acetic acid and theophylline in 2.0 ml of serum. Absorbance is a linear function of concentration over a range of 0.5-40 mg/liter for theophylline-7-acetic acid and 0.5-40 mg/liter for theophylline. No endogenous or exogenous compounds were found that interfere with theophylline-7-acetic acid determinati...
متن کاملThe automated determination of serum uric acid.
An automated procedure is presented for the enzymatic determination of serum uric acid on both the AutoAnalyzer and the Robot Chemist. The procedure measures as the neocuproine complex, the difference in the amount of Cu+ formed by reaction of a Cu++ aIkanoIamine buffered solution with serum uric acid under precisely controlled conditions before and after uricase treatment of the serum. The dif...
متن کاملUV-Vis Spectrophotometry and Multivariate Calibration Method for Simultaneous Determination of Theophylline, Montelukast and Loratadine in Tablet Preparations and Spiked Human Plasma
Resolution of binary mixtures of theophylline (THEO), montelukast (MKST) and loratadine (LORA) with minimum sample pretreatment and without analyte separation has been successfully achieved by multivariate spectrophotometric calibration, together with partial least-squares (PLS-1), principal component regression (PCR) and hybrid linear analysis (HLA). Data of analysis were obtained from UV–Vis ...
