An exploratory study of enantioselective behavior of Sol-Gel encapsulated human serum albumin using frontal analysis.

Adsorption behavior of pure enantiomers and racemic mixtures of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen and naproxen) on human serum albumin (HSA) was evaluated. The HSA was immobilized by Sol-Gel technique and this biomaterial was used in a chromatographic system where frontal analysis experiments were performed at pH 7.4 and temperatures of 25°C and 37°C.

HPLC method with solid-phase extraction for determination of (R)- and (S)-ketoprofen in plasma without caffeine interference: application to pharmacokinetic studies in rats.

A fast and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatography method has been developed for the determination of (R)- and (S)-ketoprofen. Ketoprofen enantiomers were determined in plasma samples (50 µL), after solid-phase extraction, using diclofenac as internal standard. Analyses were performed on a (S, S)-Whelk-O 1 stainless steel column (5 µm, 250 × 4.

High-performance liquid chromatographic assay for metamizol metabolites in rat plasma: application to pharmacokinetic studies.

In order to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of metamizol in the presence of morphine in arthritic rats, after subcutaneous administration of the drugs, an easy, rapid, sensitive and selective analytical method was proposed and validated. The four main metamizol metabolites (4-methylaminoantipyrine, 4-aminoantipyrine, 4-acetylaminoantipyrine and 4-formylaminoantipyrine) were extracted from plasma samples (50-100μl) by a single solid-phase extraction method prior to reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection. Standard calibration graphs for all metabolites were linear within a range of 1-100μg/ml (r(2)≥0.

Effect of metamizol on morphine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics after acute and subchronic administration in arthritic rats.

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether metamizol alters the pharmacokinetics of morphine and to determine the relationship between morphine plasma levels and antinociceptive effect produced after co-administration of drugs under acute and subchronic treatments using the pain-induced functional impairment model in rat (PIFIR model). Administration of morphine+metamizol under acute treatment produced a significantly higher antinociceptive effect than that obtained with morphine alone (P<0.05).

High-performance liquid chromatographic assay for morphine in small plasma samples: application to pharmacokinetic studies in rats.

In order to perform a reliable pharmacokinetic study of morphine during subchronic treatment in rats, an easy, rapid, sensitive and selective analytical method was proposed and validated. The analyte and internal standard (naloxone) were extracted from plasma samples (100 microL) by a single solid-phase extraction method prior to reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) along with electrochemical detection (ED). Standard calibration graphs were linear within a range of 3.

Comparison of dissolution profiles for albendazole tablets using USP apparatus 2 and 4.

The in vitro dissolution of albendazole from three different commercially available products (200 mg tablets) was studied using U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Apparatus 2 and USP Apparatus 4 in order to compare the release performance of the drug in two essentially different dissolution systems.
