AI Article Synopsis

  • Developed two cost-effective methods for determining metoclopramide (MCP) in pharmaceuticals: a titrimetric method and a spectrophotometric method.
  • The titrimetric method involves a reaction with potassium hydrogen peroxymonosulfate and uses iodometric back titration; the spectrophotometric method produces a chromogen for measurement at 350 nm.
  • Both methods show reliable quantification capabilities, with specific ranges for MCP detection: 0.25-3.5 mg for titrimetric and 0.3-3.5 μg/mL for spectrophotometric, making them suitable for use in tablet and injection formulations.

Article Abstract

Objectives: To develop two (titrimetric and spectrophotometric) simple, rapid, sensitive and cost-effective methods for the determination of metoclopramide (MCP) in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Materials And Methods: The titrimetric method (A) was based on the -oxidation reaction involving the use of potassium hydrogen peroxymonosulfate and subsequent iodometric back titration of a known residual reagent. The spectrophotometric method (B) was based on derivatization of MCP with potassium hydrogen peroxymonosulfate in the presence of iodide to produce a chromogen (triiodide) with a wavelength of maximum absorption at 350 nm.

Results: Method "A" was applicable over the concentration range of 0.25-3.5 mg to end volume 10 mL. In method "B", Beer's law was obeyed over the concentration range of 0.3-3.5 μg/mL with molar absorptivity of 24600 L/mol cm. The limits of quantification were calculated to be 0.25 mg/10 mL (A) and 0.2 μg/mL (B), respectively.

Conclusion: The proposed methods were suitable for determination of MCP as a pure substance in tablets and injection.

Background: In prolactinoma diagnosis, current guidelines recommend prolactin (PRL) assessment, considering values exceeding 200 ng/mL highly suggestive of prolactinoma. However, subtler hyperprolactinemia is more common, and to rule out potential prolactinomas, pituitary resonance magnetic imaging (MRI) studies are necessary. These present limitations in terms of availability, costs, and delays in diagnosis.

Background: Breastfeeding is the most advantageous nutrition for infants because of its many health benefits. However, lactation insufficiency is a prevalent issue among women, particularly those who give birth prematurely. Galactagogues, such as domperidone and metoclopramide, have been reported and may be beneficial for lactation insufficiency.

Study Objective: We performed a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis to determine which pharmacologic therapies are relatively more effective and safer for migraine in adult patients who present to the emergency department (ED).

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to February 9, 2024. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials that enrolled adult participants presenting to ED with migraine and compared one pharmacologic therapy to another or placebo.

Article Synopsis
  • Foodborne illnesses can lead to serious conditions like liver failure, especially in vulnerable populations such as children and young adults, but they often go unreported due to their self-limiting nature.
  • In a specific case, a 48-year-old woman experienced severe symptoms after eating contaminated rice salad, resulting in metabolic acidosis and liver dysfunction.
  • After treatment in the emergency department, including the use of N-acetylcysteine, her condition improved, and she was discharged nine days later with recovering liver function.

  • Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) causes significant physical and psychological symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and can greatly affect quality of life.
  • This study examined the effects of HY7801 on PMS by conducting lab tests and experiments on mice, finding that it significantly inhibits harmful hormone and cytokine secretion.
  • Results suggest that HY7801 can help alleviate PMS symptoms by balancing hormones and reducing inflammation in the body.
