Recently solution scanometry, as a new, simple, fast, portable, and economic method was introduced for determination of acidity constants of indicator and dyes. In this study, a method was applied for the determination of the acidity constant of p-Rosolic acid (RA) and Bromoxylenol blue (BXB) indicators. The method is based on scanning of Plexiglas® sheet containing colored solutions with a fla...

A kinetic study of the degradation of phosalone in an alkaline medium was undertaken by using a pneumatic stopped-flow system. A rapid semiautomatic method is proposed for determining phosalone. Linear calibration graphs up to 8.0 x 10(-5) M (detection limit = 1.40 x 10(-6) M) were obtained, with a measurement period of only 3.5 s per sample and a relative standard deviation of 1.4%. Several pe...

A novel simple kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has been developed and validated. The proposed method is based on a coupled redox-complexation reaction, the first step of which is the reduction of Fe(3+) by NAC; the second one includes the complexation of Fe(2+), resulting from the preceding redox reaction, with 2,4,6-trypyridyl-s-triazine (TP...

New rapid, sensitive, and accurate kinetic spectrophotometric methods were developed, for the first time, to determine omeprazole (OMZ) in its dosage forms. The methods were based on the formation of charge-transfer complexes with both iodine and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). The variables that affected the reactions were carefully studied and optimized. The formed complexes ...

Objective: The objective of this study is to develop and validate new selective kinetic methods for the determination of Gentamicin in pure and pharmaceutical preparations. Methods: The proposed methods (A and B) are based on the oxidation of Gentamicin drug with alkaline potassium permanganate at fixed temperature. The oxidation reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the inc...

A simple and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed and validated for determination of amlodipine besylate (AML). The method was based on the condensation reaction of AML with 7-chloro-4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole in an alkaline buffer (pH 8.6) producing a highly colored product. The color development was monitored spectrophometrically at the maximum absorption λmax 470 ...

The H-point standard addition method (HPSAM), based on spectrophotometric measurements for simultaneous determination of beryllium and aluminium, is described. This method is based on the difference between their rates of reactions with Chrome Azurol S (CAS) in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micellar media. The results showed that beryllium and aluminium could be determined simultaneousl...

Simple, accurate and precise spectrophotometic methods for quantitative determination of four drugs viz., Levofloxacin (LEV), Moxifloxacin (MOX), Pseudo Ephidrine (PSE), Torsemide (TOR) have been developed based on oxidation of the drugs by alk.KMnO4. Kinetics of the oxidation reaction is followed spectrophotometrically, as one of the reaction product, Mn(VI), absorbed at 610 nm. Initial rate a...

We describe an automated kinetic assay for acetoacetate in blood. Acetoacetate is enzymatically reduced to D-beta-hydroxybutyrate and the reaction is monitored for 60 s with a reaction-rate analyzer. This technique allows low concentrations of acetoacetate to be measured with good precision and overcomes many of the problems associated with other automated techniques. Our studies on the stabili...

a sensitive and selective kinetic-spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of uric acid. the method is based on the inhibitory effect of uric acid on the oxidation of janus green by bromate in the presence of sulfuric acid. the reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance at 518 nm using the fixed-time method. under optimum exper...
