Hypertension caused by angiotensin II is characterized by an increase in tissue oxidant stress as evidenced by increased quantities of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is a key mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme that is inactivated in conditions of oxidant stress by reacting with peroxynitrite to form 3-nitrotyrosine in its active site. The increase in ...

As an edible and medicinal plant, Coix seed is readily contaminated by more than one group of mycotoxins resulting in potential risk to human health. A reliable and sensitive method has been developed to determine seven mycotoxins (aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, zearalenone, α-zearalenol, and β-zearalenol) simultaneously in 10 batches of Coix seed marketed in China. The method is based on a rapid u...

The products of peptide synthesis are routinely purified by reversed-phase HPLC with single wavelength detection at 214 nm. Additional information regarding the peptide product and any contaminating sequences can be obtained by high resolution HPLC combined with high sensitivity spectral analysis using photodiode array detection. Full spectral characterization can be used to ascertain the prese...

Several flavonoids present in red grape skins from four varieties of Portuguese grapes were determined by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with electrochemical detection (ECD). Extraction of flavonoids from red grape skins was performed by ultrasonication, and hydrochloric acid in methanol was used as extraction solvent. The developed RP-HPLC method used combined i...

FeiYangchangweiyan capsule (FY capsule), a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation consisting of three medicinal herbs, has been used to treat bacterial dysentery, acute, and chronic gastroenteritis for several decades. In this study, a novel, convenient, accurate, and valid method was developed by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with diode array detection...

A multicomponent pharmaceutical that contains loratadine, paracetamol, and pseudoephedrine was quantified using HPLC-PDA. The three analytes were well-separated in the dosage form on a C-18 column gradient mobile phase. quality by design strategy followed to achieve challenging separation. Screening optimization steps carried out investigate effect of many factors studied responses with minimum...

A HPLC method with UV detection for quantification of 2,6-diaminopimelic acid (DAPA) in rumen bacteria, duodenal and ileal digesta and faeces is described. Biological samples were hydrolyzed with 6 M HC1 for 20 h at 104±2°C. DAPA was separated after pre-column derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) in the presence of ethanethiol (ESH). DAPA derivative was analyzed using a reversed-phase C...

A method for the direct extraction and routine analysis of the vitamin E metabolites gamma- and alpha-carboxyethyl hydroxychroman (gamma- and alpha-CEHC) from human urine has been developed. A relatively small sample volume (5 ml) can be used and, after enzymatic hydrolysis of the conjugated forms and acidification, the metabolites are extracted with diethyl ether. Recovery of alpha- and gamma-...

ezetimide belongs to a class of lipid lowering compounds that selectively inhibits intestinal absorption of cholesterol and related phytosterols. the purpose of this study is to establish a reliable and quick method for the assignment of ezetimibe in tablets form by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (hplc-uv). a rapid and sensitive hplc method has been developed ...

tolterodine tartrate, is a new, potent and competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist in clinical development for the treatment of urge incontinence and other symptoms of unstable bladder. the purpose of this study is to establish a reliable and quick method for the assignment of tolterodine tartrate by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (hplc-uv). a rapid and sen...
