BACKGROUND We developed a simple and inexpensive thin-layer chromatography (TLC) assay for semiquantitative detection of saliva concentrations of nevirapine in resource-limited settings. The method was validated in an African target population. METHODS Paired plasma and saliva nevirapine concentrations were assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); saliva concentrations of nev...

a rapid and sensitive hplc method has been developed for the quantification of mirtazapine (mrz), a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic inhibitor antidepressant (nassa) and its two major metabolites n-desmethylmirtazapine (ndm) and 8-hydroxymirtazapine (8-ohm) in human plasma. the separation was achieved using chromolith c18 column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile: phosphate buffer (ph=3,...

impurities of drug substances may produce some side effects in patient. diclofenac na is a member of non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (nsaids) family, which is routinely used by patients for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and various pains. to develop a method for the determination of synthetic precursors which could be remained as impurities in raw drug materials, na diclofenac pow...

eperisone hydrochloride is a skeletal muscle relaxant and paracetamol is cyclooxygenase inhibitor. these drugs in combination are used as antispasmodics. a simple, specific, precise and accurate method was developed, namely reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography for simultaneous estimation of eperisone hydrochloride and paracetamol in tablet dosage form. in rp-hplc method separati...
