In this work, two reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) methods have been developed for the determination of linagliptin (LNG) based on isocratic elution using a mobile phase consisting of potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH (4.6)-acetonitrile(20:80, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL min(-1). Two detection techniques have been applied either UV detection at 299 nm in the first method or ...

For determination of the activity of this enzyme (EC 4.2.1.24) in blood, pH dependency was evaluated by using whole blood and washed erythrocytes. The effects of assay methods, original and final pH, and use of sodium or potassium phosphate buffer were examined. The pattern of pH dependency differed for whole blood and washed erythrocytes, whether blood from normal or lead-exposed subjects was ...

Studies were carried out on the partition of amylase from Bacillus subtilis in a minimal medium at 37 oC and 110 rpm. Enzyme recovery was carried out in aqueous two-phase system PEG-Phosphate salt were carried out. The best purification factor (5.4) was obtained in system PEG 1000 (16.7% w/w) with potassium phosphate (14.8% w/w), at pH 6.0, resulting in a recovery of 45.2% activity enzymatic in...

INTRODUCTION Electrolyte disorders are an important cause of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias as well as various other complications in the intensive care unit. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk for development of tachyarrhythmias, especially in the period during and immediately after surgical intervention. Preventing electrolyte disorders is thus an important goal of ...

A highly sensitive fluorimetric assay for the measurement of pyridoxal and pyridoxal phosphate in biological tissues is described. The method involves the enzymic hydrolysis of pyridoxal phosphate to pyridoxal. The pyridoxal (free or total) is separated on an anion-exchange column, concentrated by cation-exchange chromatography and reacted with potassium cyanide under slightly alkaline conditio...

Rat brain microsomes, immobilized on a filter, were perfused with ATP-containing solutions in a device which made possible rapid change of perfusion media and frequent sampling of effluent. Inorganic phosphate production could be measured 10 times per sec. When ATP, sodium, or potassium was absent from the first perfusion medium and present in a second, and introduced without interrupting flow,...

Leaf size indices of the tree species in the peatland of Agusan del Sur in Mindanao in Philippines was examined to deduce the variation of forest structure and observed forest zonation.  Using raunkiaer and webb’s leaf size classification, the leaf morphometrics of seven tree species consistently found on the established sampling plots were determined.  The species includes Ternstroemia phi...

A serious problem in cultivation of ornamental plants is a lack scientific and applied program in fertilization, so that the plant nutrition focused on growth medium. A randomized completely design with 8 different fertilization methods with the use of ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate, di ammonium phosphate, ferrilene and kristalon was conducted in three replications in a greenhouse of Cha...

The interactions of potassium ions and ATP on transport ATPase activity are discussed, and the interpretation of these interactions is shown to be often ambiguous. Caldwell's (1968) Physiological Review model is discussed with particular reference to the observed kinetics of sodium: sodium exchange in red cells. Recent experimental work on the properties of the ouabain-sensitive component of po...
