Abstract:

The electrochemical behavior of nifedipine (I), nitrendipine(II) and their photodegradation products has been studied by employing electrochemical techniques in chloroform and in 1:4 mixture of chloroform-isopropanol using piperidinium perchlorate (PPC) as supporting electrolyte. It has been shown that I and II undergo in a 4e, 4H+ irreversible reduction reaction, while the reduction product, phenylhydroxylamine, is oxidized in a 2e, 2H+ reversible process to an unstable nitrosophenyl compound. Photodegradation of I and II by sunlight produces a nitrosophenyl derivative which is reversibly reduced to the corresponding unstable phenylhydroxylamine. No significant change is observed in electrochemical properties of drugs by passing from chloroform to chloroform-isopropanol mixture. The possibility of analysis of I and II by dp polarography is also verified.

ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF U(V1) NITRATE IN CHLOROFORM AT A MERCURY ELECTRODE THE DEPENDENCE ON SUPPORTING ELECTROLYTE

The mechanistic aspects of the electrochemical reduction of U(V1) nitrate at a mercury electrode in chloroform, using three different supporting electrolytes, are described. In the presence of tetrabutylarnmonium perchlorate (TBAP) as a neutral electrolyte, UO (NO ) , reduced in two irreversible electrochemical steps to form a U(V1)-U(V) binuclear complex and U(IV), respectively. In the pr...

Chloroform

It was perhaps fitting that Lieut.-Colonel Edward Lawrie, should signalise the year of his retirement from the post of R,esidenc\r Surgeon at Hyderabad by the publication of a volume on Chloroform, a subject with which he has been identified for many years past, and in defence of his views on which, and those of his master Syme, he has fought non sine gloria for many }7ears. The introduction to...

Chloroform and Fatty Heart

To the Editor, "Indian Medical Gazette." Sir,?The conclusions of Chloroform Commission at Hyderabad seem to be that deaths duringchloroform inhalation are due to careless administration of the dru?-, and that it has no direct action on the heart, and there?is absolutely no risk if the attention of the administrator is concentrated upon the respiration. But deaths have occurred at the hands of b...

Pregnancy and Chloroform Anesthesia

Pregnant dogs are susceptible to chloroform administered shortly before delivery or during labor, and show the same degree of liver injury as normal dogs, or even a somewhat greater one. Chloroform anesthesia may cause more or less hyaline necrosis in the border zone between the maternal and fetal parts of the placenta that may lead to hemorrhage, placental separation, and premature delivery. C...
