This article describes a simple and fast high-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of methotrexate (MTX) in plasma. Samples were collocted from children receiving high-dose MTX at shafa Hospital (Ahvaz University of Medical sciences, Ahvaz, iran) at various times after the end of eachinfusion. Plasma was deproteinized with trichloroacetic acid and the supernatant was i...

Abstract In this study, microfunnel-supported liquid-phase microextraction method (MF-LPME) was optimized and applied for the determination of some chlorophenoxyacetic acids (CPAAs) from natural water samples. The extraction was performed with 540 μL toluene which was retained at the surface of the sample solution using an upside down microfunnel. After the extraction, toluene was moved in...

A simple, rapid and precise reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for the analysis of Almotriptan. Chromatographic separation of Almotriptan was performed by using a kromosil C18 column (250 x 4.6mm, 5 μm) as stationary phase with a mobile phase comprising of 1% Triethyl amine : acetonitrile:methanol: 05:55:40 (v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0ml/min and UV detectio...

Two molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) that we recently described to be class-selective for glucuronides have been successfully exploited for the molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) of testosterone glucuronide (TG) from its parent drug (T) in urine. Both sorbents targeted the glucuronate fragment but feature different functional groups for binding the carboxylate anion, MIP1...

The terpenoid constituents of Targionia lorbeeriana grown in vivo and in vitro were compared. The analysis of the dichloromethane extract was performed by HPLC-UV and by HPLC-MS. The obtained results revealed that the sesquiterpene lactones isolated from the dichloromethane extract of the wild Targionia lorbeeriana were also produced by the liverwort in in vitro cultures, in the same relative a...

In medicine, superparamagnetic nanoparticles bound to chemotherapeutics are currently investigated for their feasibility in local tumor therapy. After intraarterial application, these particles can be accumulated in the targeted area by an external magnetic field to increase the drug concentration in the region of interest (Magnetic-Drug-Targeting). We here present an analytical method (HPLC-UV...

A simple and sensitive HPLC-UV method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of quercetin, luteolin, and apigenin in rat plasma after oral administration of Matricaria chamomilla L. extract. The flow rate was set at 1.0 ml/min and the detection wavelength was kept at 350 nm. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.11-11.36 μg/ml for quercetin, 0.11-11.20 μg/ml for lu...

A novel and facile approach has been developed to synthesize thin films of magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) with epitaxial needle-like columnar grains on titanium nitride (TiN) buffered substrate using DC magnetron reactive sputtering. TiN buffer layer was first sputtered onto a substrate at 550 °C as a preferable substrate for growth following sputtering of epitaxial crystalline Fe(3)O(4) at 300 °C. The ...

The non-hydroxy fatty acid and long chain base compositions from as little as 2.7 nmol of ganglioside were ascertained from perbenzoylated ganglioside derivatives. Non-hydroxy fatty acids were determined by mild alkaline methanolysis of the derivatives, followed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) of the methyl esters. N-acyl and N-benzoyl "gangliosides" that were generated by the methanolysis w...

Abstract Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and high performance liquid chromatography – UV detection was presented for extraction determination of nandrolone testosterone in human urines. Chloroform at microliter volume level acetonitrile were used as dispersive solvents, respectively. The main advantages method are speed, enrichment factor, recovery, good repeatability solvent µ...
