Comparison of Two Stability-Indicating Chromatographic Methods for the Determination of Mirabegron in Presence of Its Degradation Product

Mirabegron is a novel β₃-adrenoceptor agonist containing an amide group. It was subjected to stress conditions of acidic and alkaline hydrolyses. The hydrolytic degradation product was isolated and its structure was confirmed using mass and IR spectrometry. Two stability-indicating chromatographic methods have been proposed for the determination of mirabegron. TLC method was applied using silica gel as stationary phase and chloroform–methanol–ammonia (9.0:1.0:0.1 by volume) as the mobile phase, and chromatograms were scanned at 250 nm. Accurate determination of the drug was achieved over the concentration range of 2–12 μg per band. In addition, an isocratic HPLC method was developed on Agilent C18 column (150 mm × 4.5 mm I.D., particle size 5 µm) using ethanol-phosphate buffer pH 2.5 (30:70, by volume) as a mobile phase with flow rate of 1 mL min^?1.The intact drug was detected at 250 nm with running time less than 5 min. Mirabegron was determined accurately in a concentration range of 1–25 µg mL^?1. The proposed chromatographic methods were applied successfully for the assay of mirabegron in pharmaceutical dosage form and both methods were validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and statistically compared with a reported gradient HPLC method.

Enantioselective metal-free reduction of ketones by a user-friendly silane with a reusable chiral additive

1-Hydrosilatrane, a safe and easy-to-handle reducing reagent that can be inexpensively accessed, has been shown to reduce prochiral ketones asymmetrically in the presence of chiral 1,2-aminoalcohols with ees ranging from 8% to 86%. The best result was achieved using ephedrine as the source of chirality, which is readily commercially available. The additive can be recovered through extraction and reused without any erosion of enantioselectivity.     

Silver,iron, and nickel immobilized on hydroxyapatite‐core‐shell γ‐Fe2O3 MNPs catalyzed one‐pot five‐component reactions for the synthesis of tetrahydropyridines by tandem condensation of amines,aldehydes, and methyl acetoacetate

In this study, Ag, Ni²⁺, and Fe²⁺ immobilized on hydroxyapatite‐core‐shell γ‐Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles (γ‐Fe₂O₃@HAp‐Ag, γ‐Fe₂O₃@HAp‐Ni²⁺, and γ‐Fe₂O₃@HAp‐Fe²⁺) as a new and reusable Lewis acid magnetic nanocatalyst was successfully synthesized and reported for an atom economic, extremely facile, and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines derivatives 4a‐t is described by one‐pot five‐component reaction of 2 equiv of aldehydes 1 , 2 equiv of amines 2 , and 1 equiv of methyl acetoacetate 3 in EtOH at room temperature in good to high yields and short reaction time. The presented methodology offers several advantages such as easy work‐up procedure, reusability of the magnetic nanocatalyst, operational simplicity, green synthesis avoiding toxic reagents and solvent, mild reaction conditions, and no tedious column chromatographic separation.     

The extended tanh method for solving systems of nonlinear wave equations

The extended tanh method with a computerized symbolic computation is used for constructing the traveling wave solutions of coupled nonlinear equations arising in physics. The obtained solutions include solitons, kinks and plane periodic solutions. The applied method will be used to solve the generalized coupled Hirota Satsuma KdV equation.     

Turing determinacy and the continuum hypothesis

From the hypothesis that all Turing closed games are determined we prove: (1) the Continuum Hypothesis and (2) every subset of ₁ is constructible from a real.     

Real options valuation of forest plantation investments in Brazil

In this paper, we consider investments in eucalyptus plantations in Brazil. For such projects, we discuss real options valuation in the place conventional methods such as IRR or NPV, possibly with CAPM. Traditionally, real options valuation assumes complete markets and neglects market imperfections. Yet, market frictions, such as transaction costs, interest rate spreads, and restricted short positions, can play an important role. We extend real options valuation to allow incomplete and imperfect markets. The value is obtained as a competitive price, given markets of competing investment opportunities, such as real and financial assets. Under perfect and complete markets, such valuation method is consistent with conventional real options theory. Stochastic programming and standard software is used for valuation of eucalyptus plantations. We estimate the underlying interdependent diffusion processes of stock market, interest rates, exchange rates and pulpwood price, and derive novel expressions of stochastic integrals to be employed in scenario generation for discrete time stochastic programming.     

Localization of the first zero of the Dedekind zeta function

Using Weil's explicit formula, we propose a method to compute low zeros of the Dedekind zeta function. As an application of this method, we compute the first zero of the Dedekind zeta function associated to totally complex fields of degree less than or equal to 30 having the smallest known discriminant.
