Abstract A previously published colorimetric method for determining ronidazole, (l-methyl-5-nitroimidazoI- 2-yl) methyl carbamate, can be used as an analytical technique for measuring the stability of this drug in medicated feeds. Although the color reaction per se is not selective, elution profiles of ronidazole and its demonstrated hydrolytic degradation product, l-methyl-2-hydroxymethyl- 5-nitroimidazoIe, show that the chromatographic separation used in the sample preparation efficiently isolates the drug from the degradation product. No interference was found in feeds containing 0.010% ronidazole and up to 0.010% degradation product.

Abstract A rapid, reliable separation and quantitation of zoalene (3,5-dinitroo-toluamide) from feeds is accomplished by using reverse phase liquid chromatography (LC) and ultraviolet detection. An extraction technique which is similar to the present AOAC official colorimetric method is used before chromatographic analysis. This extraction is followed by an activated alumina cleanup and LC to separate zoalene from feed matrix. The methodology was applied to a variety of spiked feed matrices, and yielded good recoveries. Liquid chromatographic results were shown to correlate with colorimetric determinations.

Abstract A colorimetric method for the determination of hydroxyproline as a measure of collagen in meat and meat products has been collaboratively studied in 18 laboratories. The method includes hydrolysis with sulfuric acid, oxidation with chloramine- T, and formation of a reddish purple complex with 4- dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. Five frozen and 3 freeze-dried samples were tested, ranging in content from 0.11 to 0.88% and from 0.39 to 4.0% hydroxyproline, respectively. The mean values of 2 identical samples were 0.245 and 0.251 %. The average recovery from a spiked sample was 96.1 %. The hydroxyproline content of a known sample (a mixture of 2 samples in the ratio 5:2) was calculated to 1.42%, which agrees well with the analytical result, 1.40%. In comparison with other collaborative studies, based on the ISO analytical method, the repeatability and reproducibility of this method agree well with the other results. This method was accepted as an official NMKL method by all national Committees, and has been adopted official first action by AOAC as an NMKLAOAC method.

It has been repeatedly pointed out(1, 2, 3) that the properties of cheese during the different stages of its manufacture should be correlated with the hydrogenion concentration rather than with the titratable acidity. Little systematic work has, however, so far been carried out in this direction, except for a study of the relationship between pH and titratable acidity in Cheddar cheese by Brown & Price(4). In planning work on similar lines, it was realized that the potentiometric methods of determining pH require expensive equipment and skilled attention, so that a supplementary colorimetric method, if sufficiently accurate to indicate the major changes in pH, should appeal more strongly to the practical cheesemaker on account of its cheapness and simplicity and the ease with which the outfit can be transported.

Abstract We describe a microfluorometric method for determination of arginase activity in dried blood spots on filter paper. The arginase in discs punched from such dried blood specimens is activated by preincubation with Mn2+ at 37 degrees C. After incubation with substrate at the same temperature, urea is determined fluorometrically by oxidation of NADH to NAD+ in a coupled kinetic reaction. We compare the results of this method with those of a colorimetric method involving liquid blood samples, and assess the stability of the enzyme in dried blood on filter paper. The presence of serum has no effect on the activity. This method may be useful in the early detection of arginase deficiency and certain hematological disorders.

Abstract A colorimetric method is proposed for determination of terbutaline sulfate, orciprenaline sulfate, and their dosage forms. The suggested method depends on nitrosation of the 2 drugs by using sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid. Addition of sodium hydroxide increases the intensity of the color developed. The difference between absorption values measured in acid and alkaline media is taken as a measure of concentration. Variables were carefully studied and optimized. Results for both compounds adhered to Beer's law over the range 2- 28 μg/mL. The method has proved to be accurate and precise for analysis of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Abstract This spectrophotometric method for the direct determination of potassium in serum or plasma is based on the selective complexing of potassium by a specific macrocyclic polyether, with the subsequent formation of an ion-pair with a colored anion. The colored anion is extracted into an organic solvent, clarified by centrifugation, and then measured at 415 nm. The absorbance of the chromogen varies linearly with [K+] to at least 15 mmol/L. Results of this colorimetric method (y) correlate well with the results obtained by a flame-photometric method (y = 1.04x - 0.22, r = 0.97, n = 81), with CVs ranging from 2 to 4%. We observed no interferences from lipemia, added bilirubin, or various electrolytes. We also evaluated the use of this reagent in a new automated blood analyzer developed by Abbott, a two-dimensional centrifugal system (Clin Chem 31:1457-1463, 1985). Potassium determined with this system (y) correlated well with results by flame photometry: y = 1.02x + 0.02 (r = 0.94, n = 168). With this system one can use whole-blood specimens in measuring potassium.

Abstract A stability-indicating micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) method was developed and validated for the assay of floctafenine (FLF) in the presence of its degradation product and main metabolite, floctafenic acid (FLA). The analysis was carried out on a CLC Shim-Pack octyl silane (C8) column (150 × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm particle size) using a micellar mobile phase consisting of 0.15 M sodium dodecyl sulfate, 10% n-propanol, and 0.3% triethylamine in 0.02 M orthophosphoric acid (pH = 3). The mobile phase was pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with UV detection at 360 nm. The method showed good linearity for FLF and FLA over the concentration ranges of 0.5–25.0 and 0.4–10.0 μg/mL, with LODs of 0.16 and 0.12 μg/mL, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of FLF in commercial dispersible tablets, with mean recovery of 98.87 ± 1.37%. Also, the proposed method was specific for the analysis of FLF in presence of the co-formulated drug thiocolchicoside in laboratory-prepared tablets, with mean recovery of 100.50 ± 1.07%. Statistical comparison of the results obtained by the proposed MLC method with those obtained by a comparison method showed good agreement. Moreover, the method was extended to study the degradation behavior of FLF under different International Conference on Harmonization recommended conditions such as alkaline, acidic, oxidative, thermal, and photolytic. The method was further applied for direct determination of FLA as the main metabolite of FLF in human plasma without prior extraction steps, with mean recovery of 110.50 ± 6.5%.

Choline salicylate (CS) as a derivative of acetylsalicylic acid is commonly used in different drug forms. In medicine, it is applied topically to inflammation of the oral cavity mucosa and in laryngology. However, this substance in the form of an ionic liquid has not been investigated enough. There are no literature studies on stability tests constituting a stage of pre-formulation research. HPLC (Nucleosil C18, 4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm; methanol-water-acetic acid 60:40:1, 230 nm or 270 nm) and UV (276 nm) methods for the determination of CS in 2% (g/mL) aqueous solutions were developed. Under stress conditions, CS susceptibility to hydrolytic degradation in aqueous medium, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide, and the effect of light on the stability of CS solutions were studied with HPLC analysis. The degradation degree of CS and the purity of the solutions were also tested. Choline salicylate has been qualified as practically stable in neutral and acid media, stable in an alkaline medium, very stable in an oxidizing environment, and photolabile in solution. The HPLC-MS/MS method was used to identify 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids as degradation products of CS under the tested conditions.

Abstract A simple colorimetric method is described for the determination of thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B,) in dosage forms. The method is based on measurement of a yellow complex formed when thiamine HC1 is treated with /7-methylaminophenol sulfate (Metol) under alkaline conditions. Compounds such as vitamins A, B2, B6, B,2, C, D, and E, and niacinamide, citric acid, liquid glucose, calcium pantothenate, biotin, liver extract, and folic acid do not interfere in the reaction. Extracting the complex into chloroform before quantitation enhances the stability of the reaction product and removes interference of watersoluble colored constituents in syrup samples. Statistical validation shows that the method is precise and accurate. Results agree well with those obtained by other methods in the literature

Abstract A direct colorimetric method is described for determination of hippuric acid in urine. Hippuric acid dissolved in pyridine—water (1:1) produces a color (Amax = 410 nm) when benzenesulfonyl chloride is added. With the method based on this color reaction, urinary hippuric acid follows the Beer-Lambert law up to 1 mg/ml.
