gabapentin is an anticonvulsant widely used in the treatment of epilepsy.an accurate and validated spectrophotometric method was developed as an alternative method to determine gabapentin in pharmaceutical products. this is a simple, accurate, precise, selective and visible spectrophotometric method. the method is based on the measurement of drug absorbance as a result of yellow solution format...

This paper summarizes measured photodissociation quantum yields for acetone in the 290-320 nm wavelength region for pressures and temperatures characteristic of the upper troposphere. Calculations combine this laboratory data with trace gas concentrations obtained during the NASA and NOAA sponsored Stratospheric Tracers of Atmospheric Transport (STRAT) field campaign, in which measurements of O...

Triclosan, a broad spectrum antibiotic is currently being evaluated for its anti-cancer property. Though several solvents are available to dissolve lipophilic (hydrophobic) drugs, solubility and toxicity aspects pose a challenge, when combined with the cell culture medium. In this paper, we present a simple approach based on physico-chemical and biologic criteria to choose a suitable solubilizi...

Five strains of Gram-negative denitrifying bacteria that used various ketones as sole carbon and energy sources were isolated from activated sludge from a municipal sewage plant. Three strains are related to the genus Pseudomonas; two non-motile species have not yet been affiliated. All strains grew well with ketones and fatty acids (C2 to C7), but sugars were seldom utilized. The physiology of...

Conventional wisdom is that breath acetone may be markedly elevated in type 1 diabetes, but that this only occurs during poor blood glucose control and/or intercurrent illness. In contrast, little is known about breath acetone at more representative everyday blood glucose levels in diabetes. We used selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) to monitor the breath of 8 patients with type...

Absolute total cross sections (TCSs) for electron scattering from acetaldehyde [(CH3)CHO] and acetone [(CH3)2CO] molecules have been measured at electron-impact energy extending from 0.7 to 400 eV, using a linear electron-transmission technique. The shape of obtained TCS energy dependences appears typical for targets of high electric dipole moment; both TCSs decrease with the energy increase; o...
