The present article describes the potential utility of derivative ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometric technique to detect petroleum products (gasoline, kerosene and diesel) in fire debris residues. Derivative UV spectra of these petroleum products were recorded in their neat state, and compared with those obtained from fire debris samples in order to distinguish them. Derivative UV spectrophoto...

Three simple, economical, precise, and accurate methods are described for the simultaneous determination of Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TE) and Emtricitabine (EM) in combined tablet dosage form. The first method is ratio derivative spectra, second is first-order derivative spectrophotometry and third is absorption corrected method. The amplitudes at 271.07 and 302.17 nm in the ratio derivati...

A mixture of acetaminophen, diphenhydramine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is used for the symptomatic treatment of common cold. In this study, a derivative spectrophotometric method based on zero-crossing technique was proposed for simultaneous determination of acetaminophen, diphenhydramine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. Determination of these drugs was perf...

apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an essential physiological process that plays a critical role in development and tissue homeostasis. caspases, a family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases, play a critical role in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. in this study, cytotoxicity and apoptogenic effect of 2-phenyl 4-carboxamide derivatives were evaluated in sknmc (huma...

The interaction of human serum albumin with Ethyl 2-[2-(dimethylamino)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)- 1,3-thiazole-5-yl]-2-oxoacetate was investigated by using isothermal titration UV-visible spectrophotometry in tris-buffer, pH 7.4. According to these results, it was found that there are a set of 4 binding sites for this ligand on HSA with positive cooperativity in the binding process. This thiazole deriv...
