Abstract

Four newer, cost effective and sensitive ion-pair complex methods were estimated for the determination of eflornithine hydrochloride drug in pharmaceutical formulation. In these methods eflornithine hydrochloride react with bromocresol green (buffer of pH 4), bromophenol blue (buffer pH 4.5), methyl orange (buffer of pH 5.5) and bromothymol blue (buffer of pH 5) respectively. The chloroform was used for extraction of ion-pair complexes. The measurement of complexes was done at 413, 416, 417 and 425 nm respectively. Under the described conditions the proposed methods are linear over the concentration range of 3-18, 4-16, 6-30 and 2-12 μg/ml and the coefficient of determination were >0.999 (n=6) with a relative standard deviation of <1% (n=6). The average recovery of the target compound is >100% with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 20, 0.869, 2 and 4.167 μg/ml and the limit of detection (LOD) 6.6, 0.287, 0.66 and 1.375 μg/ml. The mechanism of the derivatization reaction is proposed and advantages of the proposed method are discussed.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
