The aim of the current study was to develop a simple, precise, and accurate capillary zone electrophoresis method for the determination of zolpidem tartrate in tablet dosage form. Separation was conducted in normal polarity mode at 25°C, 22 kV, using hydrodynamic injection for 10 s. Separation was achieved using a background electrolyte of 20 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate adjusted with phospho...

A method has been developed for the analysis of a cough syrup containing dextromethorphan, guaifenesin, benzoic acid, saccharin and other components. Forced degradation was also studied to demonstrate that the method could be employed during a stability study of the syrup. Final conditions were phosphate buffer (25 mM, pH 2.8) with triethylamine (TEA)-acetonitrile (75:25, v/v). In such conditio...

Homologue of Slimb (HOS)/beta-transducin repeats containing proteins up-regulate nuclear factor kappaB activity by targeting its inhibitor (IkappaB) for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. We investigated whether inhibition of HOS function may modulate apoptosis in human melanoma cells. Forced expression of the dominant negative HOSdeltaF construct inhibited IkappaB degradation and led t...

A novel stability indicating liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of Cefditoren pivoxil in presence of degradation products using Zorbax SB C18 (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 3.5 μm particle size) column with a flow rate 1.0 mL/min (UV detection 210 nm). Linearity was observed over a concentration range 0.1–200 μg/mL with regression equation y = 34809 x + 30603 (R = 0.9994)...

Regulating the balance between synthesis and proteasomal degradation of cellular proteins is essential for tissue growth and maintenance, but the critical pathways regulating protein ubiquitination and degradation are incompletely defined. Although participation of calpain calcium-activated proteases in post-necrotic myocardial autolysis is well characterized, their importance in homeostatic tu...

Preclinical osteoarthritis (OA) models are often employed in studies investigating disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs). In this study we present a comprehensive, longitudinal evaluation of OA pathogenesis in a rat model of OA, including histologic and biochemical analyses of articular cartilage degradation and assessment of subchondral bone sclerosis. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent joint de...

In this study, α-Fe2O3 nano-spheres are immobilized on the surface of manganese pyrophosphate(Mn2P2O7) support using forced hydrolysis and reflux condensation (FHRC) method. The synthesizedα-Fe2O3/Mn2P2O7 were characterized by FTIR, SEM, BET EDX, and XRD. The photocatalytic activity fromα-Fe2O3/Mn2P2O7 was investigated for the removal of toluene in aqueous solution by UV/H2O2 ...
