A kinetic spectrophotometric method for rapid measurement of thiocyanate in serum, urine and sewage water with no need for removed of interfering substances in described. The method is based on the inhibitory effect of thiocyanate on the oxidation of pyrogallol red by bromated and nitrite which is monitored at 467 nm. The variables affecting the rate of the reaction were investigated and th...

We managed to create a self-developed sensor system, which is based on the simultaneous reflectance measurements at 660 and 940 nm wavelength. The ratio of refers concentration soil organic carbon (SOC). This instrument has calibration range 1.19 6.05 SOC%. SOC content twenty-six samples was measured by system standard spectrophotometric method we found that estimation in had good approximation...

Three indirect methods for the assay of flunarizine dihydrochloride (FNH) in bulk drug and commercial formulation based on titrimetric and spectrophotometric techniques using bromate-bromide mixture are described. In titrimetry, a measured excess of bromate-bromide mixture is added to an acidified solution of FNH and the unreacted bromine is determined iodometrically (method A). Spectrophotomet...

There is currently great interest in developing radiolabeled substrates for acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase that would be useful in the in vivo imaging of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Using a simple in vitro spectrophotometric assay for determination of enzymatic cleavage rates, the structure-activity relationship for a short series of 1-methyl-4-piperidinyl esters was inve...

Heme oxygenase (HO) is a renoprotective protein in the microsome that degrades heme and produces biliverdin. Biliverdin is then reduced to a potent antioxidant bilirubin by biliverdin reductase in the cytosol. Because HO activity does not necessarily correlate with HO mRNA or protein levels, a reliable assay is needed to determine HO activity. Spectrophotometric measurement is tedious and requi...

synthetic antibacterial agents, which are active against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. They are receiving a significant attention due to their broad spectrum of activity, potency, variable indications and excellent pharmacokinetic profiles. Because of their therapeutic importance, numerous analytical methods have been developed for their determinations in pharmaceutical formulations...

The purpose of this investigation was directed to propose sensitive, accurate and reproducible methods of analysis that can be applied to determine distigmine bromide (DTB), cyclopentolate hydrochloride (CPHC), diaveridine hydrochloride (DVHC) and tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride (THHC) drugs in pure form and pharmaceutical preparations via charge-transfer complex formation with 7,7,8,8-tetracyan...
