The objective of the present work was to evaluate and characterize a pediatric-friendly formulation of a bitter tasting drug, oseltamivir phosphate (drug). Amberlite IRP64 (resin) was used to make ionic complexes for masking its bitterness. Complexes of four drug-to-resin ratios, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and 1:6 (w/w), were prepared and characterized. At buccal pH of 6.8, drug-resin complexes of 1:1, 1:2...

Coloradocin was isolated from a fermentation broth by adsorption onto Amberlite XAD-2. The activity was eluted in MeOH and purified by gel filtration on Shephadex LH-20, followed by liquid-liquid chromatography on diol-bonded silica gel. The last two steps in the purification of this antibiotic included reverse-phase chromatography on C18-bonded silica gel and countercurrent chromatography on a...

The suitability of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine as a complexing agent for the on-line preconcentration of cadmium using an anion exchanger (Amberlite IRA-904) in a microcolumn has been tested. Various parameters which affect complex formation and its sorption, as well as elution into the nebulizer of flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), were optimized. A 5 x 10(-4) mol 1...

The peroxidase of human parotid saliva has been purified by concentration, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, and ion exchange chromatography on Amberlite CG-50. The purified product was devoid of amylase activity, lysozyme activity, and immunoglobulin A (IgA). However, it had an inhibitory effect on the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus in complete growth medium and on lysine accumulation by ...

A novel diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique for sampling labile soil sulfate was developed, based on a strong basic anion exchange resin (Amberlite IRA-400) for sulfate immobilization on the binding gel. For reducing the sulfate background on the resin gels, photopolymerization was applied instead of ammonium persulfate-induced polymerization. Agarose cross-linked polyacrylamide (...

This paper reports on the adsorption of Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Pb(II) from laboratory solution by the use of Chelex 100 (C100) and Amberlite IRA400 ion exchange resins. Metal loading at initial pHs of 3 to 8 at 1-100 mg/L were studied based on Q max and K f values of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Lead was sorbed the most (Q max = 75.19 mg/g, at pH 6), followed by Cu (Q ...

A study of complementing lincomycin nonproducing mutants of Streptomyces lincolnensis resulted in the discovery of a low molecular weight compound that functions as a catalytic agent, lincomycin cosynthetic factor (LCF), in the biosynthesis of propylproline.^ This note reports the isolation and identification of LCF and its detection in fermentation broths of many actinomycetes. For the purific...

I. A unique hemoprotein has been isolated from a hemolysate of normal human erythrocytes by a procedure which involves (NH4),SO 4 precipitation and chromatography on Amberlite CG-5o, DEAE-cellulose, Bio-Gel P-6o, and Bio-Gel P-3o. 2. The purified hemoprotein appeared homogeneous on ultracentrifugation although small amounts of impurities were detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The ...

A simple and sensitive method for the separation and preconcentration of gold, palladium and platinum has been established prior to their atomic absorption spectrometric determinations. Analytes from 0.5 mol dm(-3) KI in a 2 mol dm(-3) HCl solution were recovered using an Amberlite XAD-7 column as halogeno complexes. The effects of some analytical parameters, including reagent amounts, sample v...

Phenolic compounds were extracted from the fruits of Morus nigra and Morus alba using methanol and acetone. The sugar-free extracts (SFEs) were prepared using Amberlite XAD-16 column chromatography. All of the SFEs exhibited antioxidant potential as determined by ABTS (0.75-1.25 mmol Trolox/g), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) (EC(50) from 48 μg/mL to 79 μg/mL), and reducing power assays. H...
