Development and validation of a reversed-phase HPLC method with post-column iodine-azide reaction for the determination of thioguanine

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method of reversed-phase with a post-column iodineazide reaction has been developed and validated for the determination of thioguanine. Isocratic elution was performed on a column of C₁₈ using acetonitrile- water-sodium azide solution (1.5%; pH 6.5) 16: 34: 50 (v/v/v) as a mobile phase with flow-rate of 0.5 mL/min. Monitoring of unreacted iodine in post-column iodine-azide reaction induced by thioguanine resulted in its detection at 350 nm. The method applied to thioguanine was linear within the scope of values 8–100 nM (r ² > 0.9988). The relative standard deviation (RSD < 4.2%) and the recovery (>96%) prove that the intra-day precision and the accuracy were satisfactory. The lower limits of detection (LLD) and quantification (LLQ) of thioguanine were established at the levels of 6 and 8 nM, respectively. The elaborated method was validated and applied to thioguanine determination in tablets.     

A New Kinetic-Fluorimetric Method for the Determination of Silver Based on Its Inhibitory Effect on the Oxidation of 2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde Thiosemicarbazone with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Iron (III)

Abstract

An indirect kinetic determination of silver based on its inhibitory effect on the oxidation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by iron (III) is described. The reaction is followed spectrofluorimetrically by measurement of the initial rate at the wavelengths of the oxidation product (λ_exc=365nm, λ_em=440nm.). The calibration curves are linear between 50-400 ng.ml^?1 of silver with a precision of ± 2.3%. The proposed method has few interferences.     

Colorimetric Determination of Propofol in Bulk form,Dosage Form and Biological Fluids

ABSTRACT

Propofol is coupled with 2, 6-dichloroquinone-4-chlorimide (DCQ) in a reaction buffered at pH 9.6 to give a colored product having an analytically useful maximum at 635 nm. The factors affecting the color generation were optimized and incorporated in the procedure. The reacted propofol has a molar absorptivity of 3.9 × 10^?4 L mol^?1 cm^?1, and Beer's law is obeyed for concentrations 1-5 μg ml^?1 with detection limit 0.25 μg ml^?1. The method was found applicable to biological fluids (plasma and urine) spiked with propofol at concentration levels 1-5 μg ml^?1 for plasma and 1-5 μg 0.5 ml^?1 urine (less sensitivity is obtained with urine volumes above 0.5 ml) with detection limits 0.28 μg ml^?1 for plasma and 0.4 μg 0.5 ml^?1 urine. The average recovery for the commercial preparation (1% w/v propofol emulsion intravenous injection for infusion) was 99.54% with an RSD of 1.05%. The method was validated by an adopted HPLC method. The results obtained by the HPLC method for the commercial preparation were statistically compared with the proposed method and evaluated at the 95% confidence limits.     

Spectrophotometric Investigation and Determination of Scandium Using Semi-Xylenol Orange

Abstract

The composition, stability constant and molar absorption coefficient of the chelate of scandium ion with Semi-Xylenol Orange (SXO) are determined speotrophotometrically in a medium of chloroacetate buffer. In the scandium-Semi-Xylenol Orange system, Sc(SXO) chelate is formed with a logarithmic stability constant of 19.66 and molar absorptivity of 2.4x10⁴ (530 nm) 1 mole^?1cm^?1.

The precision and accuracy attainable in a direct photometric microtitration of Sc⁺⁺⁺ ion with a 0.001M solution of EDTA using SXO as a metallochromic indicator has been studied. Interferences of different anions and cations on scandium determination are also investigated.

Spectrophotometric determination of scandium(III) using SXO at the optimum conditions has been carried out. Beer's law is obeyed for 0–13.49 μg scandium/25 ml.     

Synthesis,quantum chemical calculations,and luminescent properties of scandium,europium, gadolinium,and terbium 1-(2-pyridyl)naphtholate complexes

By reactions of 1-(2-pyridyl)naphth-2-ol (pynH) with silylamides Ln[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃ (Ln = Sc, Eu, Gd, or Tb), the Ln(pyn)₃ complexes of the metals have been synthesized. Only the scandium complex in a THF solution has displayed photoluminescence (band with a maximum at 455 nm and a halfwidth of 65 nm). Electroluminescent properties have been revealed for the scandium and terbium complexes. In an ITO/TPD/Sc(pyn)₃/Bath/Yb three-layer light emitting diode, the scandium complex exhibits yellow-green luminescence with a brightness of 4750 cd/m² at a voltage of 21 V. The terbium complex Tb(pyn)₃ in the same device has displayed a single, broad luminescence band with λ_max = 570 nm due to excimer emission. By density functional theory quantum chemical calculations, different structures of the complexes have been revealed, mononuclear for Sc(pyn)₃ and binuclear for Ln₂(pyn)₆. This difference in structure seems to be responsible for differences in electroluminescent activity between the synthesized complexes.

Complex Formation Equilibria of Iron(III) With 2-Hydroxy-3- Pyridinol and 2-Mercapto-3-Pyridinol. Spectrophotometry Determination of Iron(III) In Multivitamins

ABSTRACT

The complex equilibria of iron(III) with 2-hydroxy-3-pyridinol (HHP), and 2-mercapto-3-pyridinol (MHP) were studied spectrophotometrically in 40% (v/v) ethanol and an ionic strength of 0.1M (NaCIO₄). The complexation reactions were demonstrated and characterized using graphical logarithmic analysis of the absorbance pH-graphs. After considering all the different parameters a simple, rapid, sensitive and selective method for spectrophotometric determination of trace levels of iron(III) was proposed based on the formation of (Fe -MHP) complex at pH 2.5 (λ_max = 640 nm, ? = l×10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?). The interference of a large number of foreign ions was investigated. The method has been applied successfully for the determination of iron content in some multivitamins with mineral preparations and infant milk products.

A new thiazolylazo chromogenic reagent, 2-[2-(6-methylbenzo-thiazoly)azo]-5-diethylaminobenzoic acid (6-Me-BTAEB), has been synthesized. Its chromogenic reaction with microamounts of nickel in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) has been thoroughly studied. 6-Me-BTAEB reacts with nickel(II) in weak acid medium containing appropriate amounts of SDS to form a blue-violet complex with high sensitivity, good selectivity and high stability. The composition is found to be 1:2 (nickel to 6-Me-BTAEB) and its absorption maximum is at 650 nm with an apparent molar absorptivity of 1.67 × 10⁵l mole^–1 cm^–1. Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0-0.4 g of nickel per ml. The proposed method has been applied to the direct determination of nickel in aluminium alloys, pure magnesium and low alloy steels at the 0.2–0.3% (w:w) level with satisfactory results.

PEG-600-mediated,green and efficient,tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4- ones

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated, green and efficient, tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolinones are being reported. Condensation of anthranilamide (1) with acetic anhydride in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1 hr gave 2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one (2). Treatment of 2 with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 2–3 hr, gave 2-styrylquinazolinone-4-ones (3) in excellent yields. Treatment of 3 (a–d) either with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), diethyl sulfate (DES), or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in N-substituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4-ones 5 (a–l). In an alternative approach, reaction of 4 (a–c) with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr, without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in 5 (a–l). 4 (a–c) were prepared by treatment of 2 with either DMS, DES, or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually, in the presence of PEG-600 as reaction medium, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base. Both the sequence of reactions, 1 2 3 5 or 1 2 4 5 could be carried out in tandem in an efficient manner in PEG-600 without the isolation of any intermediates. The structures of all the new compounds synthesized in this work have been established on the basis of their spectroscopic data and analytical data.     

Extraction-Spectrophotometric Determination of Fluoride Using N-Phenylbenzohydroxamic Acid

Abstract

Fluoride gives a very stable complex with scandium and, hence, by determining the unreacted scandium, the fluoride content can be calculated. Excess scandium is reacted with an ethanolic solution of N-benzoylphenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) at pH 6.0, and the scandium-BPHA complex is extracted into isoamyl alcohol. Scandium is determined spectrophotometrically after adding xylenol orange. Beer's law for fluoride is obeyed in the range of 0.05 –1.5 ppm; the molar absorptivity is 1.94×10⁴ 1 mol^?1 at 565 nm. The procedure is applicable for the determination of fluoride in various types of samples.

Scandium 2-mercaptobenzothiazolate: Synthesis,structure and electroluminescent properties

The 2-mercaptobenzothiazolate scandium complex Sc(mbt)₃(THF) was obtained by the reaction of Sc[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃ with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole in THF. The X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that three flat mbt ligands coordinated to the metal center in η² fashion via N and exocyclic S atoms. To investigate the electronic structure and to interpret its electronic absorption and emission spectra, quantum chemical calculations of the complex at the B3LYP/TZVP DFT level have been performed with use of the Gaussian03 package. It was found that three higher occupied MO’s of the complex are ligand-localized while lower vacant MO’s contain a significant metal d contribution. Sc(III) complex was used as the emitter in the two-layer device with the configuration of indium tin oxide/N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine/Sc(mbt)₃/Yb, which exhibits EL emission at 550 nm.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Ampicillin with Some Nitro Compounds

Abstract

A spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of ampicillin (Amp.) in pure solutions and in its pharmaceutical preparations has been developed. This new method offers advantages of simplicity, rapidity and stability in comparison with the official BP (1980) method. The proposed method is based on the formation of a colour condensation product through the reaction of ampicillin and nitrobenzene derivatives in an alkaline aqueous-acetone medium 40% (v/v). Beer's law is obeyed in the range 0.5–28 μg ml^?1. The colours were produced within 20 min. after heating at 60±5°C and stable for at least 6 h. The method is relatively accurate (recovery 100±2%) and precise (RSD 1.9%) and can be used successfully for the preparation of capsules, syrup and ampoules.
