A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the quantitation of doxycycline in bulk, tablets, and capsules after storage at -20, 5, 25, 40, 50, 60, and 70 degrees C, has been developed and validated. The samples are eluted from a micro-Bondapak C8 column (4.6x150-mm, i.d., 5-microm particle size) at 27 degrees C, with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-THF (29.5:70:0.5, v/v/v),...

Mixtures of chiral and achiral building blocks supramolecules exhibit interesting cooperative properties, as indicated by the nonlinear relationship between properties mole fraction blocks. However, composition dependence recognition capability spherical mixed micelles is poorly understood. This study hypothesized that phenomenon could be described regular solution theory reported to able descr...

Since the turn of the twentieth century, it has been recognized that many drugs, agrochemicals, food additives and fragrances are chiral compounds and their chirality may considerably affect their bioactive behavior [1, 2]. The demand has been increasing for new analytical methods with high selectivity and efficiency. Chiral separation has become an attractive and important field in the separat...

The use and limitations of a methanol plug assisted sweeping-micellar electrokinetic chromatography (sweeping-MEKC) method is described. Using naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA)-labeled dopamine as a model compound, this new method was also used in the determination of dopamine in actual urine samples. An inexpensive violet light emitting diode (LED) was used for the light source, because t...
