We report herein that the NaOMe-catalyzed reactions between the chiral glycine Schiff base (S)-4 with 2-cyanobenzaldehyde 3a provide for a convenient preparation of the novel α-(1-oxoisoindolin-3-yl)glycine 1 of high pharmaceutical potential. The reactions involve at least eight synthetic steps and can mechanistically be realized only with application of Ni(II) complexes described in this study.

A controlled release preparation of levodopa-carbidopa, CR III, given every 4 hours to 17 Parkinsonian patients for up to 10 months reduced plasma drug variations and improved motor response fluctuations compared with standard levodopa-carbidopa given every 2 hours. The results support the value of pharmaceutical approaches to the stabilisation of circulating levodopa levels in the treatment of...

Rapid liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the simultaneous determination of Atenolol and Indapamide in a bulk drug and pharmaceutical formulation. The method uses C18 stationary phases and micellar mobile phases of 0.07M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) pH 3 adjusted with phosphate buffer and 15% (v/v) 1propanol as organic modifier and ultraviolet detection at 229 nm are used fo...

In this study, simple, fast and reliable cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry methods were developed and validated for determination of etodolac in pharmaceutical preparations. The proposed methods were based on electrochemical oxidation of etodolac at platinum electrode in acetonitrile solution containing 0.1 M lithium perchlo...
