Abstract: Spectrophotometric studies were successfully used in quantitative analysis of Amitriptyline Hydrochloride (ATH) Two new methods using spectrophotometry are described for the determination of (ATH) with potassium bromate as the oxidizing agent and acid dyes, Methyl orange and Indigo carmine. Both spectrophotometric methods are based o...

The new platelet antiaggregant Triflusal or 2-acetoxy-4-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid presents a structural analogy to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Alkaline hydrolysis of triflusal was studied in the presence and absence of cationic micelles of N-cetyl-N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide (CDEABr) at different KOH concentrations and different temperatures (25, 30, and 37 degrees C) using a spectro...

BACKGROUND The motivation of this study was to more precisely define the in vivo role of astrocytes in forebrain ischemia. Controversy exists in the literature as to whether they protect or injure neurons in this setting. METHODS Astrocytes in the rat hippocampus were disabled with stereotactic administration of a gliotoxin, ethidium bromide, 3 days prior to induction of forebrain ischemia. T...

A promising imidazole compound was synthesized through the following route. The reaction of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carbohydrazide (1) with carbon disulfide and potassium hydroxide in ethanol (80%) afforded salt (2). Refluxing (2) phenacyl bromide (3) ethanol/water (1:1) gave 2-((5-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)-1-phenylethan-1-one (4) a 76% yield. stru...

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has never been found to give rise to viable cells totally lacking mitochondrial DNA (rho(o)). This paper describes the isolation of rho(o) strains of S. pombe by very long term incubation of cells in liquid medium containing glucose, potassium acetate and ethidium bromide. Once isolated, the rho(o) strains did not require potassium acetate or any othe...

Patient was an Eurasian, aged 34* years, she commenced menstruating at the age of 13 years, and, when occurring, her periods were regular monthly, lasting 4 to 5 days and of normal quantity. At the age of 13 years, shortly after she commenced to menstruate, she was married and has had altogether 12 pregnancies. All ended normally except the last two, which ended in miscarriages at 5 and 3 month...

An efficient and sustainable method was developed for electrocatalytic multicomponent synthesis of  spirooxindole-chromene  derivatives via  a  green  one-pot,  three  component  condensations  of cyclic-1,3-diones,   malononitrile  and   isatins   inside  an  undivided  cell  where  potassium  bromide was applied as electrolyte in ethanol/DMSO (95/5 v/v) media, and a practical Fe-Mn-O composit...
