Development and Validation of a Stability-Indicating LC Method for Curcumin

A simple, isocratic, stability-indicating liquid chromatographic method for quantitative determination of curcumin was successfully developed. The chromatographic separations were achieved using a Hi-Q-Sil C18; 4.6 mm × 250 mm and 10 μm particle size column employing acetonitrile and acetate buffer (pH 3.0; 60: 40, v/v) as the mobile phase. The analyte was subjected to acidic, basic, oxidative, thermal and photo degradation. The method was validated with respect to linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection and limit of quantification. Curcumin was detected by UV-Vis detector at 425 nm whereas the degradation products were detected at 280 nm. The method was linear over the concentration range of 1–10 μg mL^?1. The limit of detection was found to be 0.06 μg mL^?1 and the quantification limit was 0.21 μg mL^?1. Considerable degradation of the analyte was observed when it was subjected to alkaline conditions. Accuracy, evaluated as recovery, was in the range of 97–103%. Intra-day precision and intermediate precision showed relative standard deviations <1% and <2% respectively.

Formulation,Rheology, and Hypolepidemic Activity of Vegetable Oil-Based Eggless and Low-Fat Food Emulsions

Common edible oils such as almond, safflower, soybean, and mustard oil were formulated in the form of eggless and low-fat oil-in-water emulsions using a blend of nonionic emulsifier Glycerol monostearate and amphoteric emulsifier soy lecithin. The emulsion parameters such as vegetable oil, emulsifier, additive content and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance number of emulsifier were optimized. The storage stability of formulated emulsions was monitored under accelerated storage stability conditions for six months. Rheological characterization of stable emulsion revealed pseudoplastic flow behavior. In vivo hypolepidemic activity of formulated emulsions in rats showed considerable reduction in total cholesterol and triglyceride level after 14 days as compared with the marketed product. The almond oil emulsion is found superior than safflower oil emulsion.     

(±)-Camphor-10-sulfonic acid as recyclable and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives

A highly competent-diversity oriented synthesis of coumarin core derivatives using a Knoevenagel condensation followed by Michael addition and subsequent cyclization in the presence of (±)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid in a water/ethanol (1:1) solvent system is depicted. Furthermore, easy workup procedures with good yield, rapid reactions with high atom economy, and catalyst recyclability are the fascinating features of the procedure.
