Hybrid cross‐linked hydrogels as a technology platform for in vitro release of cephradine

Hydrogel‐based drug delivery systems can leverage therapeutically favorable upshots of drug release and found clinical uses. Hydrogels offer temporal and spatial control over the release of different therapeutic agents. Because of their tailor made controllable degradability, physical properties, and ability to prevent the labile drugs from degradation, hydrogels provide platform on which diverse physicochemical interactions with entrapped drugs cause to control drug release. Herein, we report the fabrication of novel vinyltrimethoxy silane (VTMS) cross‐linked chitosan/polyvinyl pyrrolidone hydrogels. Swelling in distilled water in conjunction with different buffer and electrolyte solutions was performed to assess the swellability of hydrogels. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were further conducted to investigate the possible interactions between components, thermal stability, and crystallinity of as‐prepared hybrid hydrogels, respectively. In vitro time‐dependent biodegradability, antimicrobial study, and cytotoxicity were also carried out to evaluate their extensive biocompatibility and cytotoxic behavior. More interestingly, in vitro drug release study allowed for the controlled release of cephradine. Therefore, this facile strategy developed the novel biocompatible and biodegradable hybrid hydrogels, which could significantly expand the scope of these hydrogels in other biomedical applications like scaffolds, skin regeneration, tissue engineering, etc.     

Cathodic and Anodic Electroactive Product from Acidic Cleavage of Cepradine

Abstract

The isolation and identification of a cathodic degradation product from cephradine after acidic hydrolysis in presence of 1% formaldehyde is reported. Also, the electroactivity of an anodic degradation product is described. However, this product has not been identified.

Each electroactive product exhibits a diffusion-controlled polarographic wave and their respectives limiting currents show a linear dependence with the cephradine concentration. These characteristics are applied for analytical pur poses.

Synthetic samples exhibit 99.4 and 100.4% recoveries for the cathodic and anodic product respectively.     

Investigation of the pharmacokinetics and determination of certain cephalosporins in rabbit plasma by a kinetic spectrophotometric method with the aid of chemometrics

This paper describes a kinetic spectrophotometric method for simultaneous determination of three cephalosporin antibiotics,cephradine,cefaclor and cefixime,with the aid of chemometrics. The method relies on their oxidation with KMnO4 to produce green manganate with different kinetic rates in alkaline medium. The proposed method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of three cephalosporin antibiotics in rabbit plasma via intravenous injections. The results indicated that the amount of cephradin...

Simultaneous Determination of Cephradine,L‐Arginine,and Cephalexin in Cephradine for Injection by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

Abstract

Applying capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to separate the components of Cephradine for Injection: cephradine, and L‐arginine, as well as cephalexin, which is the degradation product of cephradine was studied. The best results were achieved with background electrolyte consisting of 50 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate buffer at pH 6.5 and an applied voltage of 20 kV in a bare fused‐silica capillary. The samples were injected at 50 mbar for 4 s. The capillary temperature was 25°C and the UV detection was performed at a wavelength of 195 nm. Histidine was used as internal standard (IS) to ensure acceptable precision data. The linear ranges of cephradine, L‐arginine, and cephalexin were 93.8–6255.6 µg/mL, 47.9–3195.2 µg/mL, and 6.1–405.4 µg/mL, respectively. Quantitative parameters such as accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation(LOQ) were all established in CZE mode.     

Metal complexes of cephradine: Synthesis and equilibrium studies

Summary The complex formation equilibria of the binary and ternary systemsM(II)-Cephradine andM(II)-2,2-Bipyridyl-Cephradine were investigated by a potentiometric technique at 25°C and an ionic strength of 0.1M NaNO₃ (M=Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn). The effect of dioxane as a solvent on the protonation constants of cephradine and the formation constants of the Cu-cephradine complex was studied. The relative stability of each ternary complex was compared with that of the corresponding binary complex in terms of logK. The mode of ternary complex formation was ascertained by conductivity measurements. The copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) complexes of cephradine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, and IR spectra.
