Title  

Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of 5-(4-Methyl piperazinyl methylene)-8-hydroxy quinoline and its Various Metal Chelates

Authors   I. J. PATEL and I. M. VOHRA
Abstract    
 

5-Chloromethyl-8-quinolinol was condensed with 4-methyl piperazine in presence of sodium bicarbonate. The resulting 5-(4-methyl piper-azinylmethylene)-8-quinolinol (MPQ) was characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies. The transition metal chelates viz Cu+2, Ni+2, Co+2, Mn+2, Zn+2, Cd+2, and Fe+3 of MPQ were prepared and characterized by metal-ligand (M:L) ratio, IR and reflectance spectroscopies and magnetic properties. The antifungal activity of MPQ and its metal chelates was screened against various fungi. The results show that all these samples are good antifungal agents

Abstract    
  The reaction of aromatic aldehyde and 1,3-cyclohexanedione in aqueous media has been catalyzed by p-dodecylbenezenesulfonic acid (DBSA) or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and yields two products: 9-aryl-1, 8-dioxooctahydroxanthene derivatives and 2,2’-arylmethylene bis(3-hydroxy- 2-cyclohexene-1-one). This method provides several advantages such as good yield, simple work-up procedure and environment friendly.

Title   Higher Order Elastic Constants, Gruneisen Parameters and Lattice Thermal Expansion of Lithium Niobate
Authors   THRESIAMMA PHILIP, C. S. MENON and K. INDULEKHA
Abstract    
  The second and third-order elastic constants and pressure derivatives of second- order elastic constants of trigonal LiNbO3 (lithium niobate) have been obtained using the deformation theory. The strain energy density estimated using finite strain elasticity is compared with the strain dependent lattice energy density obtained from the elastic continuum model approximation. The second-order elastic constants and the non-vanishing third-order elastic constants along with the pressure derivatives of trigonal LiNbO3 are obtained in the present work. The second and third-order elastic constants are compared with available experimental values. The second-order elastic constant   which corresponds to the elastic stiffness along the basal plane of the crystal is less than   which corresponds to the elastic stiffness tensor component along the c-axis of the crystal. The pressure derivatives, obtained in the present work, indicate that trigonal LiNbO3 is compressible. The higher order elastic constants are used to find the generalized Gruneisen parameters of the elastic waves propagating in different directions in LiNbO3. The Brugger gammas are evaluated and the low temperature limit of the Gruneisen gamma is obtained. The results are compared with available reported values.

Abstract    
  A simple and reproducible spectrophotometric method, requiring no prior separation, has been developed for the estimation of ondansetron and paracetamol in combined dosage form.  First order derivative spectroscopy method is adopted to eliminate spectral interference.  The methods obey Beer’s Law in concentration ranges employed for evaluation.  Ondansetron and paracetamol have lmax at 302 nm and 246 nm respectively in methanol.  The results of analysis have been validated statistically and recovery studies confirmed the accuracy of the proposed method.

Title   Simultaneous Estimation of Domperidone and Pantoprazole in Solid Dosage Form by UV Spectrophotometry
Authors   P. RAVI KUMAR , P. BHANU PRAKASH, M. MURALI KRISHNA,
M. SANTHA YADAV and C. ASHA DEEPTHI
Abstract    
  Domperidone is an antiemetic and pantoprazole is an antiulcer drug.  Simple, precise, rapid and selective simultaneous equation and Q- analysis UV spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the simultaneous determination of domperidone and pantoprazole from combined tablet dosage forms.  The methods involve solving of simultaneous equations and Q-value analysis based on measurement absorptivity at 216, 287 and 290 nm respectively.  Linearity lies between 1-15 mcg/mL for domperidone and 0-50 mcg/mL for pantoprazole.

Abstract    
  A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the trace determination of nitrite using Dapsone and a-Naphthol.  The proposed method is based on the diazotization of Dapsone followed by coupling with a-Naphthol in sodium hydroxide medium to give an intense pink coloured azo dye.  The dye shows absorption maximum at 540 nm.  The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity being 5.749 x 104 l mol-1 cm-1 and 0.24 ng cm-3 respectively.  Tolerance limit for interfering ions and complexing agents were reported. Other analytical parameters and applications of the method for analysis of tap water, lake water, and industrial effluents have been investigated.

Abstract    
  A simple and reproducible spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of two recent antiviral drugs namely Valacyclovir (drug A) and Famciclovir (drug B) in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Abstract    
  Infrared irradiation promoted the synthesis of substituted 5-oxo-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-octahydroquinoline derivatives. The condensations of 5, 5-dimethyl-1, 3-cyclohexane-dione, 1, 3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one and ammonium acetate in the absence of solvent under infrared irradiation for 3 h gave the title compounds in 67.6%~86.5% yields

Title   Estimation of Ziprasidone Hydrochloride Monohydrate in Bulk and Capsules 
by Reverse Phase HPLC
Authors   B. SUDHA RANI* and P.VENKATA REDDY
Abstract    
  A reverse phase HPLC method is described for the determination of Ziprasidone HCl mono hydrate in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Chromatography was carried out on an ODS C18 column using a mixture of methanol and phosphate buffer (55:45v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1mL/min. Detection was carried out at 314nm. The retension time of the drug was 4.522 min. The method produced linear responses in the concentration range of 0.5-30 mg /mL of Ziprasidone HCl mono hydrate.The method was found to be applicable for determination of the drug in capsules.

Title   Simple Spectrophotometric Methods for the Determination of Zidovudine in Pharmaceuticals Using Chloramine-T, Methylene Blue and Rhodamine-B as Reagents
Authors   K BASAVAIAH* and U R ANIL KUMAR
Abstract    
  Two new spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of zidovudine(ZDV) in pharmaceuticals. The methods use chloramine-T (CAT) and two dyes, methylene blue and rhodamine-B, as reagents and are based on adding of a known excess of CAT to ZDV in hydrochloric acid medium followed by determination of residual oxidant by reacting with a fixed amount of either methylene blue and measuring the absorbance at 665 nm (Method A) or rhodamine B and measuring the absorbance at 555 nm (Method B). In both methods, the amount of CAT reacted corresponds to the amount of ZDV. The absorbance measured is found to increase linearly with concentration of ZDV. Under the optimum conditions, ZDV could be assayed in the concentration range 1.25-15.0 and 0.25-3.0 mg mL-1 by method A and method B, respectively. The apparent molar absorptivities are calculated to be 7.7x103 and  5.6x104 L mol-1cm-1 for method A and method B, respectively, and the corresponding Sandell sensitivity values are 0.035 and 0.005 µg cm-2. The limits of detection and quantification are reported for both methods. Intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy of the developed methods were evaluated as per the current ICH guidelines. The proposed methods can be readily utilized for bulk drug and in pharmaceutical formulations.
