Abstract The results obtained here consistently failed to show deviations from Beer's law for optical densities less than 1.4, and the use of scanning as a convenient method for differential protein estimations would appear to be justified. The methods described may enable other workers to make similar tests of the method with a minimum of preliminary development, and some may succeed in obtaining significant failure of Beer's law in their apparatus. The use of apparatus of this type would enable the variation of the deviations with arrangement of the optical system, etc., to be worked out, but the following experimental conditions are already known to lead to significant deviations: 1. Use of dry paper instead of lightly oiled paper. 2. An inadequate light ifiter for the photocell. 3. An illuminated slit too long to be completely covered by the protein pattern. 4. Variations in protein density over the slit, either because the slit is too wide or because the protein pattern has been applied unevenly. 5. Use of low quality ifiter paper containing "pin holes." 6. A dye uptake which is not proportional to protein content of the paper [Martin and Franglen (14)]. The failure of Crook, Harris, and Warren (4) to substantiate Beer's law does not indicate the most general situation for the application of the scanning method. The application of Beer's logarithmic law to the scanning of dyed protein patterns has been investigated by methods described in detail. No deviations could be found for optical densities less than 1.4 for amidoschwarz 1OB or less than 1.1 for azocarmine B staining. The scanning method can be used for evaluation of protein fractions if care is taken.

A simple, rapid, sensitive and accurate method for the determination of aciclovir, cefepime HCI, etamsylate and metoclopramide HCI in pure form and in pharmaceutical formulations is developed.The method is based on the fomabon of tris(o-phenanthroline) iron(ll) complex (Ferroin) upon the reaction of the ated drugs wrth iron(lll )-o- phenanthroline mixture. The ferroin complex is colorimetncally measured at λmax 510 nm against a reagent blank. 0ptimization of the experimental conditions is described. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range from 0.25–30 µg ml−1 with molar absorpitivities (ε) ranging from 4.796 x 103–9.51 2 x 104 L.mol−1.cm−1 and Sandell sensitivities (S) of 2.129 x 10−3–34.5 x 10−3 µg cm−2. The developed method is applied successfully for the determination of the cited drugs in pure forms and in the corresponding pharmaceutical formulations without any interferences from common excipients.

The spectrophotometric method for estimation of CefpodoximeProxetil employed first derivative amplitude UV spectrophotometric method for analysis using methanol as solvent for the drug. CefpodoximeProxetil has absorbance maxima at 235nm and obeys Beer’s law in concentration range 10-50µg/ml with good linearity i.e. r2 about 0.999. The recovery studies established accuracy of the proposed method; result validated according to ICH guideline. Results were found satisfactory and reproducible. The method was successfully for evaluation of CefpodoximeProxetil in tablet dosage form without interference of common excipients.

Four simple, rapid, accurate, precise, reliable, and economical UV-spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for the determination of tadalafil in bulk and in pharmaceutical formulation. “Method A” is first order derivative UV spectrophotometry using amplitude, “method B” is first order derivative UV spectrophotometry using area under curve technique, “method C” is second order derivative UV spectrophotometry using amplitude, and “method D” is second order derivative UV spectrophotometry using area under curve technique. The developed methods have shown best results in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, and LOD and LOQ for bulk drug and marketed formulation as well. In N,N-dimethylformamide, tadalafil showed maximum absorbance at 284 nm. For “method A” amplitude was recorded at 297 nm while for “method B” area under curve was integrated in the wavelength range of 290.60–304.40 nm. For “method C” amplitude was measured at 284 nm while for “method D” area under curve was selected in the wavelength range of 280.80–286.20 nm. For methods A and B, tadalafil obeyed Lambert-Beer’s law in the range of 05–50 μg/mL while for “methods C and D”, tadalafil obeyed Lambert-Beer’s law in the range of 20–70 μg/mL, and-for “methods A, B, C, and D” the correlation coefficients were found to be > than 0.999.

Abstract Background The effectiveness of two PGPB; Azospirillum brasilense NO40 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia B11 was investigated in enhancing the drought tolerance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings cultivar Gemiza9. The inoculated or uninoculated grains were sown in unsterilized sandy soil and watered normally untill the 8th day. Drought stress was initiated by completely withholding water for 7 days (until wilting). Samples were collected after 15 days from sowing to evaluate some growth criteria, damage and defense indicators and to analyze the roots’ protein pattern. Results The results showed that inoculating wheat seedlings with these strains significantly diminished the inhibitory effects of drought stress on the relative water content of roots, shoots and leaves; area of leaves; contents of pigments (chlorophyll a and b) and ascorbic acid; and on the protein patterns of roots. Moreover, the bacterial inoculation notably reduced the drought-induced damage indicated by lower leakage of electrolytes and less accumulation of Malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide, surprisingly with less enhanced production of proline and activities of catalase and peroxidase than their uninoculated counterparts. Under normal conditions, inoculating wheat plants with these PGPB resulted in significantly promoted growth and elevated contents of pigments and altered protein patterns of roots. Conclusion Overall, we can say that both Azospirillum brasilense NO40 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia B11 were able to deactivate the growth inhibition in wheat seedlings to some extent, while maintaining a certain level of efficient protection against damage under drought stress.

7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin-3-acetic acid (AMCA) has been found to be a useful fluorophore for immunofluorescence. The present study describes a spectrophotometric method for determining the ratio of moles AMCA to moles protein (or the f/p ratio) in an AMCA-conjugated IgG. The concentration of a substance absorbing light can be determined spectrophotometrically using Beer's Law: Absorbance = Concentration x Extinction coefficient. From Beer's law, one can derive the following formula for determining the f/p ratio of AMCA-IgG conjugates: f/p = (epsilon 280IgG).A350 - (epsilon 350IgG).A280/(epsilon 350AMCA).A280 - (epsilon 280AMCA).A350 where A is the optical density of the conjugate at the given wavelength and epsilon is the extinction coefficient of a substance at the wavelength specified. Using conjugates of model proteins, it was found that the extinction coefficients of the AMCA moiety of AMCA-conjugated protein were 1.90 x 10(4) at 350 nm and 8.29 x 10(3) at 280 nm. Similarly, it was found that the extinction coefficients of swine IgG were 1.56 x 10(3) at 350 nm and 1.26 x 10(5) at 280 nm. Thus, for AMCA-conjugated swine IgG: f/p = (1.26 x 10(5)).A350 - (1.56 x 10(3)).A280/(1.47 x 10(4)).A280 - (6.42 x 10(3)).A350 [corrected]. Based on this formula, the f/p ratios of some AMCA-IgG conjugates useful for immunohistochemistry have been found to range between 6 and 24.

A rapid high sensitive and inexpensive economic method has been developed for the Determination of phenoxazine by using molecular spectrophotometry. The method is based on the oxidation of phenoxazine by potassium (meta)periodate in acidic medium. The oxidation conditions were selected to enhance the sensitivity and the stability of the pink colored species which shows an absorption maximum at 530 nm. The Beer’s law was obeyed for phenoxazine concentration range from 1 to 6 µg mL-1 with 0.003 µg mL-1 detection limit and provided variation coefficients between 0.4 to 1.7 %. This method was successfully applied for the determination of phenoxazine in aqueous samples
