Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Determination of Cobalt in Foods
1985
A method is reported for determination of chromium in foodstuffs. Organic matter is digested with nitric acid, followed by oxidation to Cr(VI) and extraction with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) after HCl addition. Chromium determinations are performed by flame absorption spectroscopy. Absence of interferences is verified and recovery tests are performed on food samples. Quantitation limit (3.8 ng/mL), accuracy (NBS Standard Reference Material 1,573 Tomato Leaves, 4,500 +/- 500 ng/g, found 3,860 +/- 409 ng/g), and precision (CV for vegetable matrix = 9.05%, CV for animal matrix = 14.95%) of the procedure are evaluated.
Compared effects of synthetic and natural bile acid surfactant on xenobiotic absorption. II. Studies with sodium glycocholate to confirm a hypothesis
1994
Abstract The effects of sodium glycocholate (SGC) on the intestinal absorption of drug-related xeriobiotics are investigated, on the basis of previously established absorption/partition relationships. Six phenylalkylcarboxylic acids, closely related to nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs in structure and constituting a true homologous series, were used as test compounds through an in situ rat gut technique, using the whole colon as nonspecialized absorption membrane model. Whereas the synthetic surfactants (i.e., polysorbates and laurylsulphates) at the critical micelle concentration have been shown to disrupt the aqueous boundary layer adjacent to the membrane, SGC does not; in contrast, it…
Immobilization of reagents by polymeric materials. Determination of metamizol
1992
Abstract A method for immobilization of inorganic reagents, based on the dispersion of the reagent into an unsaturated polyester solution is applied to immobilization of lead dioxide. The obtained solid is of application in a flow-injection manifold for indirect atomic absorption determination of metamizol in pharmaceutical formulations. The procedure gives a linear calibration graph up to 6 ppm of metamizol with a relative standard deviation of 1.6% (3.0 mg/l) and a sample throughput of 72 hr−1.
Continuous flow-injection-atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of Ondansetron
1995
Abstract A flow-injection procedure for the indirect determination of the new drug Ondansetron is proposed. The method is based on the reaction of the drug in an oxidative solid-phase reactor included in the flow assembly. The reactor was made by lead dioxide physically entrapped by polymerization; the released lead(II) was monitored by atomic absorption spectrometry at 217.0 nm. The procedure gave a linear calibration graph up to 20 μg ml−1 of Ondansetron with a sample throughput of 338 samples h−1.
Procedures of Separation and Pre‐concentration for Molybdenum Determination Using Atomic Spectrometry—a Review
2004
Abstract The literature concerning the improvement of atomic and ionic procedures for molybdenum determination through separation and pre‐concentration were updated. Analytical procedures based on flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AAAS), electrothermal or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were reviewed taking into consideration the preliminary steps, which can enhance the selectivity and sensitivity based on co‐precipitation, solvent extraction, and solid‐phase extraction. Both in‐batch and on‐line procedures were considered.
The solubilization site of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-porphyrin-Mn(III) in DPPC vesicles: A spectrophotometric and tensiometric study
2006
Abstract The solubilization site of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-porphyrin-Mn(III) (MnTDPPC) in l -α-dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (DPPC) vesicles was determined in a systematic UV–vis spectrophotometric study. Measurements of the MnTDPPC absorbance have been conducted at constant temperatures (in the interval 30 °C ≤ T ≤ 48 °C) and varying concentrations of phospholipid. In the entire temperature range, the absorption due to MnTDCCP was found to increase with increasing DPPC concentration, until it reaches a plateau value. The data have been analyzed using a pseudo-phase model yielding the binding constant of MnTDCPP to vesicular aggregates. No significant temperature depende…
Spray Freeze Dried Lyospheres® for Nasal Administration of Insulin
2021
Pharmacologically active macromolecules, such as peptides, are still a major challenge in terms of designing a delivery system for their transport across absorption barriers and at the same time provide sufficiently high long-term stability. Spray freeze dried (SFD) lyospheres® are proposed here as an alternative for the preparation of fast dissolving porous particles for nasal administration of insulin. Insulin solutions containing mannitol and polyvinylpyrrolidone complemented with permeation enhancing excipients (sodium taurocholate or cyclodextrins) were sprayed into a cooled spray tower, followed by vacuum freeze drying. Final porous particles were highly spherical and mean diameters r…
Effects of polysorbate 80 on amiodarone intestinal absorption in the rat
1995
Abstract Amiodarone is a widely used anti-arrhythmic agent which shows physico-chemical properties that are highly suitable for diffusion across lipophilic absorbing membranes, however,.its low aqueous solubility could represent the rate-limiting step for absorption, making it erratic and variable. In a previous paper, the influence of an anionic surfactant (sodium lauryl sulphate) at variable supramicellar concentrations was studied. The absorption rate constants of amiodarone decreased as the surfactant concentration increased, and absorption was unusually fast at lower surfactant concentrations. The previously proposed equations for interpreting the relationships between the amiodarone a…
Fractal Dimension of Transdermal-Delivery Drug Models: 4-Alkylanilines
2008
Abstract The pathways that exist in porous membranes used to deliver drugs form fractal percolating paths. For a homologous series of 4-alkylanilines, the fractal dimension D is calculated as a model for transdermal-delivery drugs. Program TOPO is used for the calculation of the solvent-accessible surface AS, which is denoted by the centre of a probe, which is allowed to roll on the outside while maintaining contact with the bare molecular surface S. AS depends on the probe radius R. For 4-alkylanilines, the quadrupole moment Θ is doubled. The hydrophobic contribution to AS is doubled while its hydrophilic part remains constant. D increases 11%. Geometric descriptor and topological index re…
Scientific approach for ozone absorption in blood during systemic indirect endovenous ozonetherapy
2018
Introduction.
 Reading reference ozone books from Dra. Menendez, Dra. Viebhan, Dra. Borrelli and Dr. Bocci, proper timing for mixing ozone in blood during autohemotherapy is not calculated in a scientific way, having only an estimation of it based on changes in the blood color, more related to oxygen absorption than on ozone itself.
 
 Material and methods.
 We decided to reproduce a reduced model of great autohemotherapy or recently renamed as systemic indirect endovenous ozonotherapy (SIEVO) by the World Federation of Ozone Therapy – WFOT, using syringes to simplify the experiment. Our model consisted of a 20 mL syringe filled with 10 mL of blood withdrawn from healthy…
