Excipient allergies are rare and difficult to diagnose. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, carmellose sodium) is an anionic water-soluble polymer derived from native cellulose, that is, used as excipient. Here, we report a case of urticaria caused by the CMC in lidocaine jelly dimethicone drops, which had for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. widely pharmaceutical preparations, food additives, other ...

A recyclable catalyst, Ni(0)-CMC-Na, composed of nickel colloids dispersed in a water soluble bioorganic polymer, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na), was synthesized by a simple procedure from readily available reagents. The catalyst thus obtained is stable and highly active in alkene hydrogenations.

The effect of electrolytes and nonelectrolytes on the micellar behavior of amitriptyline (AMT), an amphiphilic drug, has been investigated using cloud point (CP) and dye solubilization techniques. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of AMT determined by the Wilhelmy plate method was about 40mM in the presence of 10mM sodium phosphate, and it reduced to about 20mM in the presence of 500mM s...

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of hydrocolloid pre-treatment, i.e. pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), gum arabic and sodium alginate on the quality of vacuum fried jackfruit (JF) chips. The control JF samples (no hydrocolloid treatment) showed higher absorption of oil whereas the oil absorption was less in the hydrocolloid pre-treated samples. The retention of moi...

The design of novel binder systems is required for the high capacity silicon (Si) anodes which usually undergo huge volume change during the charge/discharge cycling. Here, we introduce a poly (acrylic acid sodium)-grafted-carboxymethyl cellulose (NaPAA-g-CMC) copolymer as an excellent binder for Si anode in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The NaPAA-g-CMC copolymer was prepared via a free radical...

Production of a cellobiase-rich preparation by Aspergillus niger 1 was achieved using water hyacinth cellulose as the sole carbon source in the culture medium. Production of cellobiase, carboxymethylcellulase (CMC-ase) and filter paper (FP)-cellulase was favoured by controlling the pH of the culture medium during fermentation at 5.0. Sodium citrate (0.5%), sodium phytate (0.1%), Tween-80 (0.2%,...

Relationships between the molecular structure and the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of anionic surfactants were investigated using a quantitative structure-property relationship approach. Measured cmc values for 119 anionic structures, representing sodium alkyl sulfates and sodium sulfonates with a wide variety of hydrophobic and hydrophilic structures, were considered. The best multiple...

The deflocculation effect of conventional additives to kaolin suspensions is evaluated from the results standard rheological measurements. Several widely used electrolytes (NaOH, Na2C03, Na2Si03, SHMP = sodium hexametaphosphate, and CMC = sodium salts of carboxymethylcellulose) have been tested. The optimal concentrations of these deffloculants, in respect to reaching the maximum reduction of i...

We have developed a simple biologically non-invasive method for determining the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of bile salts using pure naturally occurring bilirubin IX alpha monoglucuronide (BMG), an important bile pigment present in virtually all mammalian biles. This methodology employs visible absorbance spectroscopy of BMG in bile salts over a range of bile salt concentrations that ...

water soluble amphoteric graft copolymers of polysaccharide were synthesized via grafting of cationic monomer onto the sodium carboxymethylcellulose ()cmc)( and then used as a shale stabilizer in the water-based drilling fluids. accordingly, five types of cmc-graft copolymers with different ratios of acrylamide am)( and diallyldimethylammonium chloride dadmac)( were synthesized. grafting of mon...
