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...

a high performance liquid chromatography method was studied for determination of 18 ?-glycyrrhetinic acid in glycyrrhiza glabra l. (licorice) extract. the operating condition were c-18 reversed phase column (vp-ods, (250×4.6 mm, 5 mm)) at room temperature, acetonitril/phosphoric acid (3/1) as mobile phase, at flow rate of 0.6ml/min (0-8min), 0.4ml/min (8-20min) and uv detection at 230 nm. the r...

introduction: the mechanism of action and metabolism of clozapine, a complex drug used in psychopharmacology, is not completely understood. the effects of this compound in human body are related to some interactions with serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter receptors. to further elucidate the mechanism of action and to support ongoing drug metabolism studies, [14c] clozapine with suitable ra...

results under the above chromatography condition, biuret compound (peqb) and the internal standard were detected at 4.5 and 13.5 minutes, respectively. limit of quantitation of the peqb was 0.1 µg/ml. accuracy of the method over the concentration range of 0.1-100 µg/ml was between 88-109%. inter- and intraday precisions were 4-19% and 6-8%, respectively. a good relationship in the form of a pow...

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 solid phase extraction sorbent based on polyaniline/graphene nanocomposite is presented. the structure and morphology of synthesized nanocomposite were investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis. the dispersive solid phase extraction was employed to the isolation and preconcentration ...

gamma-aminobutyric acid is the main inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter in several areas of the brain. measurement of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain will help elucidate its metabolic rote and diagnostic value. the liquid chromatography (lc) system consisted of a delivery pump. male rats (150-250g) were used in this study. the brain was rapidly removed from decapitated animals. trie chr...

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...
