A Core-Shell Au@TiO and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube-Based Sensor for the Electroanalytical Determination of HO in Human Blood Serum and Saliva.

A hydrogen peroxide (HO) sensor was developed based on core-shell gold@titanium dioxide nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (Au@TiO/MWCNTs/GCE). Core-shell Au@TiO material was prepared and characterized using a scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Zeta-potential analyzer. The proposed sensor (Au@TiO/MWCNTs/GCE) was investigated electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

Extraction-free spectrophotometric assay of the antitussive drug pentoxyverine citrate using sulfonephthalein dyes.

Pentoxyverine citrate (PEN-citrate) is an antitussive (cough suppressant) drug used for cough associated with illnesses like common cold. In this work, PEN-citrate is quantified by applying a simple, direct and accurate spectrophotometric method in pure form, pharmaceutical formulation (Cabella®, 2.13 mg/mL) and human serum samples.

Simultaneous quantification of simeprevir sodium: A hepatitis C protease inhibitor in binary and ternary mixtures with sofosbuvir and/or ledipasvir utilizing direct and H-point standard addition strategies.

Simeprevir sodium (SMV); a novel hepatitis C inhibitor, quells hepatitis C viral replication by binding to and repressing the protease, hepatitis C infection (HCV) NS3/4A.

Determination of residues of acetaminophen, caffeine, and drotaverine hydrochloride on swabs collected from pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment using HPLC in support of cleaning validation.

An HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of residues of acetaminophen (paracetamol, PA), caffeine (CA), and drotaverine HCl (DH) on swabs collected from pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment surfaces. The challenge in cleaning validation is to develop analytical methods that are sensitive enough to detect traces of the active compounds remaining on the surface of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment after cleaning. Chromatography was performed in the isocratic mode on a Hypersil C18 BDS column using the mobile phase 0.

Charge-transfer complexes of pyrimidine Schiff bases with aromatic nitro compounds.

Charge-transfer (CT) complexes of pyrimidine Schiff bases, derived from condensation of 2-aminopyrimidine and substituted benzaldehydes, with some aromatic polynitro compounds were prepared and investigated using IR, UV, visible and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. For all solid complexes, the main interaction between the donor and acceptor molecules takes place through the π-π* interaction. Strong and some weak acidic acceptors, in addition interact through proton transfer from the acceptor molecule to the basic centre of the electron donor.

Construction and performance characterization of ion-selective electrodes for potentiometric determination of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride applying batch and flow injection analysis techniques.

New pseudoephedrine selective electrodes have been constructed of the conventional polymer membrane type by incorporation of pseudoephedrine-phosphotungstate (PE-PT) or pseudoephedrine-silicotungstate (PE-SiT) ion-associates in a poly vinyl chloride (PVC) membrane plasticized with dibutyl phthalate (DBP).
