Selective determination of famotidine in human plasma by high performance liquid chromatography in alkaline media with solid phase extraction

JOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 8 2003
Eva Anzenbacherová
Abstract A new method is described for the determination of famotidine by solid phase extraction from alkalinized human plasma followed by reversed phase (RP) HPLC in acetonitrile/alkaline buffer with molsidomine as an internal standard. Different acetonitrile/aqueous buffer mobile phases as well as various RP columns were used. Alkaline medium allowed the limit of quantitation to be lowered to 5 ng/mL of plasma as the famotidine gives more intense absorption at about 286 nm (at pH values higher than 7). Moreover, work in alkaline media and at this wavelength is highly selective as peaks corresponding to impurities present in most samples are well separated. A method using a mildly alkaline mobile phase (acetonitrile/10 mM phosphate with 10 mM 1-heptanesulphonic acid, pH 7.5) was successfully used for determination of famotidine in human plasma in a pharmacokinetic study.

A Potential Red-Emitting Phosphor BaGd2(MoO4)4:Eu3+ for Near-UV White LED

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 8 2009
Chongfeng Guo
Red-emitting phosphor BaGd2,xEux(MoO4)4 has been successfully synthesized by a simple sol,gel method. The process of phosphor formation is characterized by thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction. Field-emission scanning electronic microscopy is used to characterize the size and the shape of the phosphor particles. Photo-luminescent property of the phosphor is also performed at the room temperature. The effects of firing temperature and Eu3+ activator concentration on the photoluminescence (PL) properties are elaborated in detail. PL characterization reveals that the sample with the firing temperature at 800°C and the concentration of Eu3+ at 0.7 shows the most intense emission, and its intensity is about three times stronger than that of phosphor prepared by solid-state method with the same composition and firing temperature. The new red-emitting phosphor shows an intense absorption at 396 nm, which matches well with commercial near-UV light-emitting diode (LED) chips, therefore, it is a good candidate of red phosphor used for near-UV white LEDs.

Primary Photoprocesses in a Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic Sarafloxacin,

PHOTOCHEMISTRY & PHOTOBIOLOGY, Issue 4 2009
Fernando Lorenzo
The photophysical properties of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic sarafloxacin (SFX) were investigated in aqueous media. SFX in water, at pH 7.4, shows intense absorption with peaks at 272, 322 and 335 nm, (, = 36800 and 17000 dm3 mol,1 cm,1, respectively). Both the absorption and emission properties of SFX are pH-dependent; pKa values for the protonation equilibria of both the ground (5.8 and 9.1) and excited singlet states (5.7 and 9.0) of SFX were determined spectroscopically. SFX fluoresces weakly, the quantum yield for fluorescence emission being maximum (0.07) at pH 8. Laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis studies have been carried out in order to characterize the transient species of SFX in aqueous solution. Triplet,triplet absorption has a maximum at 610 nm with a molar absorption coefficient of 17,000 ± 1000 dm3 mol,1 cm,1. The quantum yield of triplet formation has been determined to be 0.35 ± 0.05. In the presence of oxygen, the triplet reacts to form excited singlet oxygen with quantum yield of 0.10. The initial triplet (3A*) was found to react with phosphate buffer to form triplet 3B* with lower energy and longer lifetime and having an absorption band centered at 700 nm. SFX triplet was also found to oxidize tryptophan to its radical with concomitant formation of the anion radical of SFX. Hence the photosensitivity of SFX could be initiated by the oxygen radicals and/or by SFX radicals acting as haptens. [source]


Variable Coordination Modes of Benzaldehyde Thiosemicarbazones , Synthesis, Structure, and Electrochemical Properties of Some Ruthenium Complexes

Abstract Reaction of benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones [H2LR, where H2 stands for the two protons, the hydrazinic proton, and the phenyl proton at the ortho position, with respect to the imine function and R (R = OCH3, CH3, H, Cl, and NO2) for the para substituent] with [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)2Cl2], carried out in refluxing ethanol, afforded monomeric complexes of type [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)(HLR)(H)]. The crystal structure of the [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)(HLNO2)(H)] complex was determined. The thiosemicarbazone ligand is coordinated to the ruthenium center as a bidentate N,S-donor ligand forming a four-membered chelate ring. When the reaction of the thiosemicarbazones with [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)2Cl2] was carried out in refluxing toluene, a family of dimeric complexes of type [Ru2(PPh3)2(CO)2(LR)2] were obtained. The crystal structure of [Ru2(PPh3)2(CO)2(LCl)2] was determined. Each thiosemicarbazone ligand is coordinated to one ruthenium atom, by dissociation of the two protons, as a dianionic tridentate C,N,S-donor ligand, and at the same time the sulfur atom is also bonded to the second ruthenium center. 1H NMR spectra of the complexes of both types are in excellent agreement with their compositions. All the dimeric and monomeric complexes are diamagnetic (low-spin d6, S = 0) and show intense absorptions in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Cyclic voltammetry of the [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)(HLR)(H)] and [Ru2(PPh3)2(CO)2(LR)2] complexes show the ruthenium(II),ruthenium(III) oxidation within 0.48,0.73 V vs. SCE followed by a ruthenium(III),ruthenium(IV) oxidation within 1.09,1.47 V vs. SCE. Potentials of both the oxidations are found to correlate linearly with the electron-withdrawing character of the substituent R. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract The electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy of a series of diphenylaceylene- and (buta-1,3-diyne)-Pt0 complexes (L)Pt[(1,2-,2)-R,(C,C)n,R] and [(dppp)Pt]2[,-(1,2-,2):(3,4-,2)-R,(C,C)2,R] {R = Ph or CH3, L = dppp or(PPh3)2, n = 1 or 2} was investigated. The structures of(dppp)Pt[(1,2-,2)-Ph,C,C,Ph], (dppp)Pt[(1,2-,2)-PhC4Ph] and [(dppp)Pt]2[,-(1,2-,2):(3,4-,2)-Ph,(C,C)2,Ph] were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The complexes all display intense absorptions that were attributed to Pt,P(d,*) and Pt,acetylene(,x*) transitions. Except for the CH3C4CH3 complexes, the complexes all exhibit two emissions at 380,550 nm and 500,800 nm. The higher energy emission could arise from the 3[P(d,*),Pt] transition, and the lower energy emission, which has a longer lifetime than the higher energy one, was attributed to the 3[acetylene(,x*),Pt] transition. The energy of the MLCT absorption and emission was affected by the electronic properties of the acetylenes and the ancillary phosphanes. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
