2018, 8(6): 357-365.
Abstract(247) PDF(4) [Cited by] (19)
Abstract:
The aim of the present investigation was to demonstrate an approach involving use of liquid chromatography (LC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS) to separate, identify and characterize very small quantities of degradation products (DPs) of acebutolol without their isolation from th...
Detection and determination of undeclared synthetic caffeine in weight loss formulations using HPLC-DAD and UHPLC-MS/MS
Carine Viana, Gabriela M. Zemolin, Thaís R. Dal Molin, Luciana Gobo, Sandra Maria Ribeiro, Gabriela C. Leal, Gabriela Z. Marcon, Leandro M. de Carvalho

Abstract:
Caffeine is present in products marketed for weight loss, with the purpose of increasing thermogenesis and lipid metabolism. The dosage declared by the product manufacturer, or even its presence, is not always correctly described on the label. This work aimed to investigate the undeclared synthetic ...
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for determination of β-propiolactone in human inactivated rabies vaccine and its hydrolysis analysis
Shuo Lei, Xun Gao, Yang Sun, Xiangyong Yu, Longshan Zhao
2018, 8(6): 373-377.
Abstract(177) PDF(0) [Cited by] (19)
Abstract:
A simple method was established for the determination of β-propiolactone (BPL) in human inactivated rabies vaccine by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The determination was performed on an Agilent HP-INNOWAX (30m × 0.32mm i.d., 0.25 μm) capillary column at the temperature of 80 °C. Elec...
Highly sensitive LC–MS/MS method to estimate doxepin and its metabolite nordoxepin in human plasma for a bioequivalence study
Nirav P. Patel, Mallika Sanyal, Naveen Sharma, Dinesh S. Patel, Pranav S. Shrivastav, Bhavin N. Patel
2018, 8(6): 378-385.
Abstract(98) PDF(0) [Cited by] (12)
Abstract:
A selective, sensitive and rugged liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) assay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of doxepin (Dox) and its pharmacologically active metabolite, nordoxepin (NDox) in human plasma. The analytes and their internal standards (IS) were...
Long-term stability of gentamicin sulfate-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-Na2) solution for catheter locks
Anne-Sophie Fiolet, Elise Jandot, Pauline Doucey, Coralie Crétet, Célia Brunel, Christine Pivot, Jean-Marc Ghigo, Christophe Beloin, David Lebeaux, Fabrice Pirot

Abstract(156) PDF(5) [Cited by] (9)
Abstract:
A lock solution composed of gentamicin sulfate (5 mg/mL) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-Na2, 30 mg/mL) could fully eradicate in vivo bacterial biofilms in totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP). In this study, fabrication, conditioning and sterilization processes of...

Abstract:
Rosa canina is a member of the genus Rosa that has long been used for medical objectives. Several studies have reported cytotoxic effects of different Rosa species, but there has been only limited investigation of the cytotoxic effect of R. canina. The purpose of the current study was to examine the...
Evaluation of naproxen-induced oxidative stress, hepatotoxicity and in-vivo genotoxicity in male Wistar rats
Mir Hilal Ahmad, Mahino Fatima, Mobarak Hossain, Amal Chandra Mondal
2018, 8(6): 400-406.
Abstract(151) PDF(3) [Cited by] (46)
Abstract:
Naproxen (NP), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is used for the treatment of common pain, inflammation and tissue damage. Genotoxicity testing of NP is of prime importance as it represents the largest group of drugs to which humans are exposed. Not many genotoxic studies are reported o...
Recovery rates of combination antibiotic therapy using in vitro microdialysis simulating in vivo conditions
Jayesh A. Dhanani, Suzanne L. Parker, Jeffrey Lipman, Steven C. Wallis, Jeremy Cohen, John Fraser, Adrian Barnett, Michelle Chew, Jason A. Roberts

Abstract(127) PDF(6) [Cited by] (8)
Abstract:
Microdialysis is a technique used to measure the unbound antibiotic concentration in the interstitial spaces, the target site of action. In vitro recovery studies are essential to calibrating the microdialysis system for in vivo studies. The effect of a combination of antibiotics on recovery into mi...
