objective(s) a sensitive liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of clarithromycin- a macrolide antibiotic- in human serum, using pre-column derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (fmoc-cl) is described. materials and methods the method involved liquid-liquid extraction of the drug and an internal standard (amantadine) followed by pre-column derivatization of the analytes wi...

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-hmf) is known as an indicator of quality deterioration in a wide range of foods. the current study covered 70 samples taken from domestically produced foods and drinks available on the iranian markets (including honey, jam, fruit cakes tomato paste, ketchup, syrup, fruit juice, canned fruit, uht milk, instant coffee and jelly powder). hmf levels were determined using ...

the present study was aimed to develop and validate a high performace liquid chromatography method for determination of thiocolchicoside and dexketoprofen trometamol in combined dosage form. the proposed hplc method utilizes an agilent eclipse c-8 column (5 µm, 250×4.6 mm) at ambient temperature. a 23 full factorial design was performed for optimization of mobile phase for separation of two dru...

an agar well diffusion bioassay method for determination of clarithromycin in human plasma, using micrococcus luteus atcc 9341 as the assay organism, was compared with a selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (hplc) method with uv detection. spiked plasma was used to prepare standard and control samples for both methods. the results of the bioassay analyses with spiked plasma samples...

carotenoids are red, orange and yellow pigments, which are widely distributed in fruit and vegetables. the aim of this research is to investigate the effect of conventional, high pressure and microwave cooking on the concentrations of β-carotene in carrot and sweet corn. raw carrots were washed, peeled and diced to a uniform size and then frozen at -70°c. sweet corn was also provided in a simil...

background aflatoxins are a group of very toxic compounds produced by a fungal species and are found in food products. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a type found in dairy products and resistant to pasteurization. afm1 can adversely affect hepatocytes in human and leading to various liver diseases. thus, it is essential to examine raw milk for the presence of afm1. conclusions according to the results ...

high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) methods employing ultraviolet (uv) detector are not sufficiently sensitive to measure the low plasma concentrations following single oral dose of imipramine. therefore, in the present study a simple, rapid and yet sensitive hplc method with uv detection was developed and validated for quantitation of imipramine in human plasma samples. an efficient ...

A newly developed single quad mass spectrometry (MS) detector was coupled to a ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system and implemented in the routine quality control (QC) and impurity analysis of four therapeutic peptides, namely bleomycin sulfate, tyrothricin, vancomycin HCl and bacitracin, which were selected given their multi-component drug nature and their closely structu...

in this project, eggshell membrane was used as a solid phase extraction sorbent for extraction of morphine followed by hplc analysis. at first, raw eggshell membrane was used and then, because of low adsorption of morphine on untreated eggshell membrane (

silymarin is a mixture of flavonolignans from the seeds of silybum marianum (l.) gaertner,containing silybinin, isosilybinin, silydianin, silychristin and the dihydroflavonol of taxifolin. flavonolignancomponents are largely responsible for the medical benefits attributed to silymarin. the aim of this researchwas to study the variations in composition and content of flavonolignans of silymarin ...
