Two simple, accurate, sensitive and reproducible methods have been developed and subsequent validated for the determination of Sildenafil citrate (SC) in presence of its impurities “1-methyl-4-nitro-3-n-propyl-5pyrozole Carboxamide (MNC), 4-amino-1-methyl-3-n-propyl-5-pyrazole Carboxamide (AMP), 4-(2-ethoxy benzoyl amino)-1-methyl-3-n-propyl-5-pyrazole Carboxamide (EMC) and 5-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-1...

Drugs that have a pharmacological effect similar to legal drugs such as narcotics and stimulants are available in the market and widely used. 5-methoxy-N,N-di-iso-propyl-tryptamine (5MeO-DIPT) and alpha-methyl-tryptamine (AMT) were categorized as narcotics and were specified as legal drugs in April 2005, and also 2,5-dimethoxy-4-n-propylthiophenethylamine (4C-T-7) and N-methyl-alpha-ethyl-3,4-m...

A series of twenty new N-[(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)-propyl]-2-aza-spiro[4.4]nonane- and [4.5]decane-1,3-dione derivatives were synthesized and their anticonvulsant activity was evaluated in maximal electroshock (MES) and sc pentertazole (sc PTZ) tests. Their neurotoxicity was examined as well. Although no antiseizure properties of the investigated compounds were found in the MES model, eight of th...

1. Urethane is metabolized in the rat, rabbit and man by a process of N-hydroxylation. This occurs to a smaller extent when methyl, n-propyl and n-butyl carbamates are administered to the rat and rabbit. 2. Other metabolites which have been detected in urine of animals dosed with urethane and N-hydroxyurethane are ethylmercapturic acid, ethylmercapturic acid sulphoxide and N-acetyl-S-carbethoxy...

Rat liver homogenate was incubated at 37 degrees C with thyroxine, 3,3',5-tri-iodothyronine, 3,3',5'-tri-iodothyronine or 3,3'-di-iodothyronine. The degradation or accumulation of these compounds was measured by specific radioimmunoassays. (1) Production of 3,3',5-tri-iodothyronine from thyroxine was highest at pH 6.0--6.5 and was markedly stimulated by the addition of dithiothreitol and effect...

addiction to drugs, such as heroin, cocaine and alcohol, exacts great human and financial costs on society. various evidence-based pharmacological and psychosocial interventions are currently used in the treatment of drug addiction but they do not produce adequate therapeutic benefits in every patient. further, barriers such as financial cost, lack of availability, or perceptions of existing tr...
