A stability-indicating LC assay method was developed and validated for a simultaneous determination of meropenem and potassium clavulanate in the presence of degradation products formed during acid-base hydrolysis, oxidation and thermolysis. The isocratic RP-HPLC method was developed with a LiChrospher RP-18 (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) column and gradient elution of 12 mmol/L ammonium acetate a...

A simple, rapid, accurate and highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for determination of some angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRA's), namely Losartan potassium (Los-K), Irbesartan (Irb), Valsartan (Val) and Candesartan cilexetil (Cand) in pure forms as well as in their pharmaceutical dosage forms. All the variables affecting the relative fluorescence intensity (R...

atp-sensitive potassium (katp) channel openers have a relaxation effect due to the lower cellular membrane potential and inhibit calcium influx. there has been considerable interest in exploring katp channel openers in the treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urinary system disease and premature labor. the purpose of this study was to synthesize 3,3,6,6-tet...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiopulmonary disorder with various origins. All forms of PAH share a common pulmonary arteriopathy characterised by vasoconstriction, remodelling of the pre-capillary pulmonary vessel wall, and in situ thrombosis. Although the pathogenesis of PAH is recognised as a complex and multifactorial process, there is growing evidence that potass...

The crystal and mol-ecular strutures of two solvated forms of [K(18c6)]OAc (18c6 = 18-crown-6 = 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-decane and OAc = acetate) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, namely (acetato-κ2O,O')(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-decane-κ6O)potassium dihydrate, [K(CH3COO)(C12H24O6)]·2H2O (1) and (acetato-κ2O,O')aqua-(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-deca...

In this work, a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method has been developed for the determination of alogliptin (ALG) based on isocratic elution using a mobile phase consisting of potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH (4.6)-acetonitrile (20:80, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL min(-1) with UV detection at 215 nm. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Symmetry(®) cyanide column ...

A simple kinetic spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of famotidine. The method is based on the oxidation of the drug with alkaline potassium permanganate. The reaction is followed spectrometrically by measuring the rate of change of the absorbance at 610 nm. The initial-rate and fixed-time (at 12 min) methods are adopted for determining the drug concentration. The calib...

A simple, precise, accurate, rapid and reproducible reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic procedure was developed for simultaneous determination of nitazoxanide and ofloxacin in tablet dosage form at a single wavelength. The mobile phase used was a combination of acetonitrile:0.25M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (80:20) with 0.5%v/v of triethylamine and the pH was adjuste...

Four simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for the determination of enalapril maleate in pharmaceutical formulations. The first method is based on the reaction of carboxylic acid group of enalapril maleate with a mixture of potassium iodate (KIO(3)) and iodide (KI) to form yellow colored product in aqueous medium at 25 +/- 1 degrees C. The reaction is followe...
