objective(s) a sensitive liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of clarithromycin- a macrolide antibiotic- in human serum, using pre-column derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (fmoc-cl) is described. materials and methods the method involved liquid-liquid extraction of the drug and an internal standard (amantadine) followed by pre-column derivatization of the analytes wi...

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-hmf) is known as an indicator of quality deterioration in a wide range of foods. the current study covered 70 samples taken from domestically produced foods and drinks available on the iranian markets (including honey, jam, fruit cakes tomato paste, ketchup, syrup, fruit juice, canned fruit, uht milk, instant coffee and jelly powder). hmf levels were determined using ...

the present study was aimed to develop and validate a high performace liquid chromatography method for determination of thiocolchicoside and dexketoprofen trometamol in combined dosage form. the proposed hplc method utilizes an agilent eclipse c-8 column (5 µm, 250×4.6 mm) at ambient temperature. a 23 full factorial design was performed for optimization of mobile phase for separation of two dru...

diosmin and hesperidin are natural flavonoid glycosides found in various plant materials, mainly in citrus fruits in different concentrations. diosmin for pharmaceutical use is obtained mainly semi-synthetically from hesperidin. hesperidin often accompanies diosmin as a natural impurity in different pharmaceutical formulations; therefore, a simple, fast and precise method for the simultaneous a...

an agar well diffusion bioassay method for determination of clarithromycin in human plasma, using micrococcus luteus atcc 9341 as the assay organism, was compared with a selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (hplc) method with uv detection. spiked plasma was used to prepare standard and control samples for both methods. the results of the bioassay analyses with spiked plasma samples...

carotenoids are red, orange and yellow pigments, which are widely distributed in fruit and vegetables. the aim of this research is to investigate the effect of conventional, high pressure and microwave cooking on the concentrations of β-carotene in carrot and sweet corn. raw carrots were washed, peeled and diced to a uniform size and then frozen at -70°c. sweet corn was also provided in a simil...

Data have been assembled from the published literature on the water-to-micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) partition coefficient data for more than 200 compounds and on the gas-to-micellar SDS partition coefficient data for more than 140 compounds. It is shown that an Abraham solvation equation with only five descriptors can be used to correlate the observed partition coefficient data to with...
