One of the major obstacles of chemotherapy is that, after repeated treatments, cellular resistance to the drug appears. The problem is that the tumor cells become resistant not only to the drugs which have been used during the treatment but also to other drugs which are structurally and functionally unrelated. This is termed 'multidrug resistance' (MDR). MDR is frequently associated with decrea...

A method aimed at poten charged ionophores in ion surements of segmented s of ion association requires ment of the sandwichmu ionophore complexationm evaluated. Association of Experimental results are with commonly used sites bis[4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl

The role of lipophilic anionic and cationic additives on the potentiometric anion selectivities of polymer membrane electrodes prepared with various metalloporphyrins as anion selective ionophores is examined. The presence of lipophilic anionic sites (e.g. tetraphenylborate derivatives) is shown to enhance the non-Hofmeister anion selectivities of membranes doped with In(III) and Sn(IV) porphyr...

Factors affecting the performance of polyvinyl chloride based ion selective electrode such as using different cationic exchangers and ionophores as well as sensor fabrication procedures were recently the scope of study by several researchers. This work presents an environment friendly electro-analytical method for the determination of Triprolidine HCl (TRI) and Pseudoephedrine HCl (PSE). A comp...

Antibiotics in the environment are a potential threat to environmental ecosystems as well as human health and safety. Antibiotics are designed to have a biological effect at low doses, and the low levels detected in the environment have turned focus on the need for more research on environmental occurrence and fate, to assess the risk and requirement for future regulation. This article describe...
