The spectrophotometric and heterometric determination of some alkaloids as cobaltothiocyanates

Small amounts of papaverine (about 3 mg in 15 ml solution) can be determined heterometrically in the presence of thiocyanate by titration with cobaltous solution. A strong electrolyte (Na₂SO₄) must be added to obtain a clear endpoint. The titration can be carried out in the presence of large amounts (97%) of quinine and ephedrine. The titration takes 2–3 min and the error rarely exceeds 1%.Papaverine, quinine, and ephedrine can be determined individually by spectrophotometry as their cobaltothiocyanates, which are extracted in 30% cyclohexanone in carbon tetrachloride, and the optical density measured at 625 nm. The method is reproducible at milligram levels with a standard deviation of ±0.3% for papaverine and quinine and = 0.5% for ephedrine.     

Analysis of nitrate-perchlorate mixtures by difference spectrophotometry

Nitron and tetraphenylarsonium chloride react with a cobaltous salt in the presence of thiocyanate to form blue ion-association complexes, which can be extracted with organic solvents. This fact has been made the basis for the analysis of mixtures of nitrate and perchlorate by difference spectrophotometry. An aliquot of the sample solution is treated with a known excess of tetraphenylarsonium chloride to precipitate perchlorate only. After separating off the precipitate, the excess of reagent is determined in the supernatant liquid as tetraphenylarsonium cobaltothiocyanate and the perchlorate content can be found from a calibration curve. Another aliquot is treated with an excess of nitron to precipitate both anions; the excess of nitron is then determined as nitron

Evaluation of trace-element pollution in Barada River environment by instrumental neutron activation analysis     

I. Khamis  M. S. Al-Masri  A. Sarheel  N. Al-Somel 《Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry》2002,251(2):227-231

The impact of tanning and electroplating industry on the eastern part of Barada River environment has been evaluated. Sediment, soil and plant samples were collected from nine sites at the river near the eastern industrial complex during 1999. Results of instrumental neutron activation analysis have shown high levels of Cr in sediment collected near the tanning factories; the highest value obtained being 2692 ppm. In addition, relatively high levels of Cr were also found in the agriculture soil collected near the riverbank in the industrial complex; Cr concentrations varied between 77 ppm and 327 ppm. However, Cr concentrations in plant leaves grown at riverbank were found low and this due to strong bounding of Cr to soil. Other trace metals such as copper and nickel were also high in sediment samples. The highest concentration of copper was about 4000 ppm, which is much higher than the natural levels; electroplating shops are the main source of this element in the area. Furthermore, concentrations of the studied trace metals have decreased as the sampling site distance became far from the industrial complex. In general, other trace elements were found to be at low concentrations, but the obtained data can be used as a baseline for future monitoring.

Indirect spectrophotometric determination of perchlorate using nitron as reagent     

Salah Shahine  Soad Khamis 《Microchemical Journal》1975,20(4):409-414

An indirect method is outlined for the spectrophotometric determination of small amounts of perchlorate. Perchlorate is quantitatively precipitated as nitron perchlorate in the presence of excess nitron. After separating off the precipitate, the excess reagent is determined in the supernatant liquid as nitron cobaltothiocyanate. The latter compound is extracted in 30% cyclohexanone in carbon tetrachloride and the absorbance of the extract measured at 625 nm. The method is simple, reproducible, and accurate to ±1%. The interferences of other anions were also investigated.

Existence Result for a Superlinear Fractional Navier Boundary Value Problems     

Habib?Maagli  Abdelwaheb?DhifliEmail author  Abdulah?Khamis?Alzahrani 《Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics》2018,15(2):68

In this paper, we study the following fractional Navier boundary value problem

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{lllc} D^{\beta }(D^{\alpha }u)(x)=u(x)g(u(x)),\quad x\in (0,1), \\ \displaystyle \lim _{x\longrightarrow 0}x^{1-\beta }D^{\alpha }u(x)=-a,\quad \,\,u(1)=b, \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha ,\beta \in (0,1]\) such that \(\alpha +\beta >1\), \(D^{\beta }\) and \(D^{\alpha }\) stand for the standard Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives and a, b are nonnegative constants such that \(a+b>0\). The function g is a nonnegative continuous function in \([0,\infty )\) that is required to satisfy some suitable integrability condition. Using estimates on the Green’s function and a perturbation argument, we prove the existence of a unique positive continuous solution, which behaves like the unique solution of the homogeneous problem.

Mass Spectrometry,Review of the Basics: Ionization     

Hanan Awad  Mona M. Khamis 《应用光谱学评论》2013,48(2):158-175

Abstract: Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an integral tool in life sciences. The first step in MS analysis is ion formation (ionization). Many ionization methods currently exist; electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) are the most commonly used. ESI relies on the formation of charged droplets releasing ions from the surface (ion evaporation model) or via complete solvent evaporation (charge residual model). MALDI ionization, however, is facilitated via laser energy and the use of a matrix. Despite wide use, ESI cannot efficiently ionize nonpolar compounds. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and atmospheric pressure photo ionization (APPI) are better suited for such tasks. APPI requires photon energy and a dopant, whereas APCI is similar to chemical ionization. In 2004, ambient MS was introduced in which ionization occurs at the sample in its native form. Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and direct analysis in real time (DART) are the most widely used methods. In this mini-review, we provide an overview of the main ionization methods and the mechanisms of ion formation. This article is educational and intended for students/researchers who are not very familiar with MS and would like to learn the basics; it is not for MS experts.

Antioxidant and anticancer activities of α-aminophosphonates containing thiadiazole moiety     

Mohamed M. Azaam  El-Refaie Kenawy  Ahmed S. Badr El-din  Abeer A. Khamis  Mohammed A. El-Magd 《Journal of Saudi Chemical Society》2018,22(1):34-41

In the current study, α-aminophosphonates containing thiadiazole moiety (1–4) was synthesized, characterized and their antioxidant and anticancer activities were carried out. The compounds (1–4) were synthesized from the reaction of 2-amino-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole with various aldehydes, triphenylphosphite and mixed valence Cu(I)/Cu(II) inorganic coordination polymer as a catalyst. The elucidation of compounds structures were carried out using different spectroscopic techniques. The antioxidant properties were carried out using radical scavenging methods (DPPH) which exhibited excellent scavenging activity particularly with compound 3. The cytotoxic effects of the five compounds on the human hepato cellular carcinoma (HepG2) and breast adeno carcinoma (MCF7) cell lines were evaluated using MTT assay which revealed the presence of cytotoxic effect with highest activity for compound 3 on HepG2 and compound 1 on MCF7. This suggests that these five compounds, particularly compounds 1 and 3, have antioxidant and anticancer effect and could be used as novel chemotherapeutic compounds but this needs further in vivo investigation to confirm our in vitro results.
