Objective(s):The present study reports the development and validation of a sensitive and rapid extraction method beside high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of crocetin in human serum. Materials and Methods:The HPLC method was carried out by using a C18 reversed-phase column and a mobile phase composed of methanol/water/acetic acid (85:14.5:0.5 v/v/v) at the flow...

background & aim:nepeta racemosa is an herbal and medicinal plant and this report aims to   identify chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles of its   aerial parts through classical and advanced methods.  experimental: chemical profiles of the essential oils and volatile compounds from the aerial parts of nepeta racemosa obtained through hydrodistillation (hd), solvent-free mic...

the occurrence and fate of trace-level contamination of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment has been recognized as one of the emerging issues in environmental chemistry. the effluents of wastewater treatment plants, usually directly emitted to the environment, often contain the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac. diclofenac was chosen because it is of high consumption; by background liter...

background: bisphenol a (bpa) is one of the hazardous materials causing disruption of endocrine pathways. due to water contamination by this component from multiple sources and the associated health problems, bpa has been the focus of multiple studies. it has been proved that bpa may cause harm because of its impact on estrogenic receptors in human and other organisms. methods: in this study, t...

a sensitive and selective solid phase extraction procedure for the determination of traces of cd(ii),zn(ii) and ag(i) ions has been developed. an alumina-sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) coated on with2,3 di hydro 2,3 para tolyl qinazoline (1 h)- 4 one (dptqo). the influences of the analyticalparameters including ph and sample volume were investigated. common coexisting ions did notinterfere on the...

in this study, for the analysis of human urine samples, a novel method explained for the determination of celecoxib, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid), using molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (mispe) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc). the synthesis of the mip was performed by precipitation polymerization in methacrylic acid (maa), ethylene glycol ...

a simple and sensitive, solid-phase extraction method for the removal of citalopram drug from waste water has been developed by using magnetic nanoparticles modified with surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. these magnetic nanoparticles have shown great adsorptive tendency towards citalopram drug. the effect of different parameters influencing the extraction efficiency of this drug were investiga...

a solid-phase extraction (spe) method for sample clean-up and preconcentration followed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-hplc) with uv detection is reported for determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in the caspian seawater. a good resolution was obtained using acetonitrile:water (40:60) as mobile-phase for separation of these compounds. the effect ...
