Poly(L-lactic acid) is a linear aliphatic thermoplastic polyester that can be produced from renewable resources. A poly(L-lactic acid)-modified silica stationary phase was newly prepared by amide bond reaction between amino groups on aminopropyl silica and carboxylic acid groups at the end of the poly(L-lactic acid) chain. The poly(L-lactic acid)-silica column was characterized in reversed-phas...

Internet Electronic Conference of Molecular Design 2003, November 23 – December 6 Abstract Motivation. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) is a mode of reversed phase micellar liquid chromatography that has proved to be useful in the description and prediction of several pharmacological properties of xenobiotics including oral drug absorption, ocular and skin drug permeability. The pr...

background ziziphora tenuior l. known as kakuti in persian, is used in traditional medicine for fever, dysentery, uterus infection and as an analgesic. it is used also in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders as carminative, or remedy of diarrhea or nausea. major components of plant essential oil including pulegone, isomenthone, thymol, menthone, and piperitone are suggested to be respons...

background aflatoxins are one of the most potent toxic substances that occur naturally. nowadays extensive attention has been taken to their existence in food and environment, as there is the possibility of harm to humans following chronic exposure to extremely low levels via food chain. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a hepatic carcinogenic metabolite found in the milk of lactating animals fed with con...

background valproic acid is widely used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug in the treatment of epilepsy. determination of serum valproic acid is required in epilepsy therapy for efficient control of seizures. objectives in the present study, the gas chromatography method was applied to determine serum valproic acid and resulting data were compared with those obtained by high perform...

The analysis and characterization of lipids andwaxes is of great importance in the food industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, in surfactant and detergent technology and in natural product research. Lipid analysts have always been on the forefront of developments in separation sciences and new techniques in chromatography have often been developed for the separation of lipids. The Rrst...

A cloud point extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC/UV) method was developed for the determination of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in micellar phase. The nonionic surfactant "Dowfax 20B102" was used to extract and pre-concentrate THC from cannabis resin, prior to its determination with a HPLC-UV system (diode array detector) with isocratic elution. The paramete...

The absorption of endogenous cholesterol, labeled with tracer doses of cholesterol (14)C or cholesterol-(3)H and of near physiological doses of vitamin D(3)-(3)H was studied in rats with cannulated intestinal lymphatics. The effects of administering mixed micellar solutions of fatty acid, monoglyceride, and bile salt on the absorption of these labeled sterols was determined. It was observed tha...
