Article Synopsis
  • Photodegradation of drug substances can produce both known and unknown products that interfere with analytical results due to absorption at certain wavelengths.
  • The study focuses on improving the accuracy of measurements for methylcobalamin (MC) and hydroxocobalamin by applying linear and non-linear methods to correct for irrelevant absorbances during photolytic degradation involving ascorbic acid (AH).
  • Methylcobalamin shows first-order degradation kinetics, with the degradation rate being pH-dependent; it peaks at pH 5.0 when in the presence of ascorbic acid, whereas degradation slows down in more alkaline conditions.

, a natural source traditionally used for treating various illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, was evaluated in this study. The effects of ethanolic extracts (CBEE) and aqueous fractions (CBAF) of leaves on arthritis-induced inflammation were studied using an albino rat model of inflammation induced by Freund's complete adjuvant. Eight test groups (n = 5 per group) and one vehicle control were used to evaluate the antiarthritic effects of different doses of CBEE and CBAF (125 mg.

Glibenclamide (GBC) has been associated with hepatotoxicity in humans. This study conducted on rabbits to evaluate the hepatotoxicity of GBC alone and in combination therapy with propranolol (PPL). Liver enzymes like alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) and bilirubin (BRB) are used to evaluate hepatotoxicity associated with GBC.
