tidepressants, a group of drugs widely used for treating depressive diseases. Its chemical structure is shown in Fig. 1. Most existing methods for the determination of nortriptyline in bulk, pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples have been reviewed. Among other methods described for the assay of this drug are direct UV-spectrophotometry, derivatives spectrophotometry, fluorimetry an...

The main types of analytical procedures used in thermal-lens spectroscopy and microscopy, which are based on photometric reactions in (i) aqueous solutions, (ii) organo-aqueous mixtures, (iii) polymer-containing (nonionic surfactants or polyethylene glycol) aqueous solutions, (iv) water-organic extraction systems, and (v) two-phase aqueous extraction systems, were compared from the viewpoint of...

In this study, the trace amounts of erythrosine, as a food dye is determined by cloud point extraction-scanometry (CPE-Scanometry) as a new, facile, available, fast, sensitive, and low cost method. The method is based on the CPE of analyte from aqueous solution, diluting the extracted surfactant-rich phase with ethanol, transfer to Plexiglas®cell and scanning the cells containing the...

The research objectives were to identify the secondary metabolite components, total phenolic content and determine antioxidant activity of ethanol extract red betel leaf (Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav.). extraction process was carried out by materation using as a solvent. Determination colorimetrically with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent measured at maximum wavelength 765 nm. DPPH method spectrophotom...

Simple, sensitive, rapid and cost-effective methods are described for the determination of mebrophenhydramine hydrochloride (MPH) in pure form and in tablets using Bromophenol Blue (BPB) as a reagent. The spectrophotometric method is based on the formation of an ion-association complex of the drug with BPB in phthalate buffer of pH 3.0, its extraction into chloroform and absorbance measurement ...

In this study, zero-, first-, secondand third-order derivative spectrophotometry methods were developed for the determination of metoprolol in pharmaceutical preparations. In zero order spectrophotometry, absorbance values were measured at 276 nm in zero order spectra of solution of metoprolol in methanol in the range of 240-310 nm. In first derivative spectrophotometry, absorbance values were ...

BACKGROUND Paraquat (PQ) is a world-wide used herbicide and also a type of common poison for suicide and accidental poisoning. Numerous studies have proved that the concentration of serum PQ plays an important role in prognosis. Spectrophotometry, including common spectrophotometry and second-derivative spectrophotometry, is commonly used for PQ detection in primary hospitals. So far, lack of s...
