a gradient reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) method was developed for the assay of cetrorelix acetate, a synthetic decapeptide with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) antagonistic activity used in infertility treatment. the hplc method, which is used to determine cetrorelix in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms, was validated per ich guidelines. the chromatograph...

abstract the objective of present study was to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters of dibudipine phytosolve after oral administration in rats. the solubility test was carried out to select suitable oily solvent for dibudipine. phytosolve formulation was prepared with a medium chain triglyceride (mct) oil (20%), soybean phospholipids (5%) and a 70% fructose solution (75%). the effect of polyol c...

omega-3 fatty acids (fas) have been shown to prevent cardiovascular disease. the most commonly used omega-3 fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha) are highly vulnerable to oxidation and therefore, have short shelf life. recent advances in nanoliposomes provided a biocompatible system for stabilizing omega-3 fas. several methods could be implemented to prepar...

In a recent study of denitrification dynamics in hyporheic zone sediments, we observed a significant time lag (up to several days) in enzymatic response to the changes in substrate concentration. To explore an underlying mechanism and understand the interactive dynamics between enzymes and nutrients, we developed a trait-based model that associates a community's traits with functional enzymes, ...

Efficient removal of biofilms from medical devices is a big challenge in health care to avoid hospital-acquired infections, especially from delicate devices like flexible endoscopes, which cannot be reprocessed using harsh chemicals or high temperatures. Therefore, milder solutions such as enzymatic cleaners have to be used, which need to be carefully developed to ensure efficacious performance...

Natural pigments are high value molecules for food industry as well pharmacy, perceived the best choice today’s consumers given their origin and safety. However, its use is limited by lability which hinders application in products. In this work there was evaluated stability of phycocyanin C gelatin candies when added with trehalose citric acid; formulated were digested synthetic gastric juice p...

the etiopathogenesis of alzheimer's disease (ad) is still unclear.  however, long-term oxidative stress is believed to be one of the major contributing factors in progression of neuronal degeneration and decline of cognitive function in ad. in order to assess the presence of oxidative stress in ad, we examined the enzymatic activities of the erythrocyte cu-zn superoxide dismutase (cu-zn sod), g...

in order to improve local therapeutic techniques for the massively burnt patients and to minimize the pain associated with dressing change, the concept of topical film was utilized to formulate a topical antimicrobial spray. the commonly used topical antimicrobial silver sulfadiazine spray was formulated as a new drug delivery system. the release of therapeutic agents in vitro from medicated sp...

l-asparaginase has remarkable properties which make it useful in dual pharmaceutical and food industries.in this study, simple and advantageous method has been validated for rapid and precise determination of intracellular l-asparaginasein bacterial species. a suspension of bacterial cells was used instead ofcell extract and incubated by substrate (asparagine) after simple wash and centrifugati...
