Eflornithine (EFN) is an anti- Trypanosoma brucei agent for the medication of sleeping sickness and widely distributed for the treatment of hirsutism (unwanted facial hair in women). The presented work demonstrates a comprehensive analytical approach for the spectrofluorometric determination of EFN in commercial cream samples and various biological samples. The proposed method is based on the formation of a highly yellow–green fluorescence dihydropyridine derivative after the interaction between EFN and acetylacetone/formaldehyde reagent in a slightly acidic medium. Furthermore, the optimal variables such as reagent volumes, pH of the medium, heating time, buffer volume, heating temperature and diluting solvent were carefully selected to achieve the maximum fluorescence activity. The fluorescence activity for the formed derivative was measured at λ emission = 477 nm after λ excitation = 418 nm. Concerning linearity, accuracy, sensitivity, precision and robustness, the presented method was validated and verified according to ICH guidelines. Moreover, the proposed work offered a selective determination for EFN in various brands of pharmaceutical cream without any interference from excipients. Eventually, the current approach was assured to be successful in the estimation of EFN in urine and plasma samples with acceptable recovery results.

An analytical method for the spectrophotometric determination of some phenolic compounds, i.e.: pyrocathecol and pyrogallol based on their redox reaction with iron(III)-phenanthroline complex has been developed. These two compounds, in appropriate conditions, reduce iron(III)-phenanthroline complex to yield very stable and color-intense complex of iron(II)-phenanthroline, [Fe(phen)2]2+, whose concentration is equivalent to the amount of pyrocathecol or pyrogallol in the solution, and is easily detected by spectrophotometric method. Some parameters influencing the sensitivity of the determination were optimized. These included maximum absorption wavelength, pH of the solution, time and temperature of heatingand reagent to analyte minimum mole-ratio. Using the optimum conditions obtained, the analytical performance of the method was examined and the developed method was then applied to analyzed pyrocathecol and pyrogallol contents in several river water of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Result of the study showed that the optimum conditions for the determination of pyrocathecol are as follows: maximum absorption wavelength (lmax) at 510 nm, pH of the solution = 4, heating time = 120 min, heating temperature = 70 0C and the minimum mole ratio of reagent to analyte is 8. On the other hand, the optimum conditions for the determination of pyrogallol are as follows: maximum absorption wavelength (lmax) at 510 nm, pH of the solution = 5, heating time = 90 min, heating temperature = 90 0C and the minimum mole ratio of reagent to analyte is 7. At the corresponding conditions of analysis, calibration curves for pyrocathecol and pyrogallol are linear in the range concentration of 0.00 - 0.16 ppm and 0.00 - 0.24 ppm, respectively. The correlation coefficients for both compounds were found to be higher than 0.998 and the detection limits went down below 0.07 ppm. It has been demonstrated that the developed method can be applied for the determination of pyrocathecol and pyrogallol contents in natural samples.   Keywords: Spectrophotometry, phenolic compounds, 1,10-phenanthroline, redox reaction

To create a basis for the production of aminoreductone (AR) followed by the use of it as a functional ingredient in food supplements, the effects of heating temperature, heating time, buffer concentration and reducing sugar/amino compound ratio on the formation of aminoreductone (AR), a product formed during the initial stage of the Maillard reaction,were investigated. In the model solution of lactose (262 mM) and butylamine (1.16 M) in 1.28 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), AR formation increased during the prolongation of the heating time at heating temperature less than 100oC. In the heated model solution at 100 oC, the maximum amount of AR was obtained as soon after 10 min of heating time. After that, the decreases of the AR formation was observed by the progress of the advanced reactions of AR. The rates of AR formation increased with the increasing phosphate buffer concentration. Moreover, the increasing in AR formation incorporated in the increase of the butylamine/lactose ratio from 0.1 to 5. Our results might give more insight in the discovery of Maillard reactions in food because it suggested tendency of the AR formation and to control the formation of AR during food processing and model system base on the control of initial constituents and reaction conditions.

New, validated and accurate reversed phase HPLC method with UV detection has been established for simultaneous determination of a veterinary binary mixture of doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX) and tylosin tartrate (TYT). The stationary phase was ACE- 126-2546 AQ C-18 (250 × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm particle size) column at 25 °C, in an isocratic mode, using mobile phase containing a mixture of methanol: acetonitrile: distilled water in the ratio of 60:20:20 (v:v:v), with 0.01% trichloroacetic acid at the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min and UV detection was performed at 270 nm. The retention times were 4.02±0.01 and 5.62±0.01 mins for DOX and TYT, respectively. Selective determination of the cited veterinary drugs has been developed in their formulation. The method was found to be linear over 1-50 µg/mL for DOX and TYT with mean percentage recoveries 99.62±1.220 and 100.09±1.104%. The method was proven to be accurate, precise and specific. The obtained results were statistically compared with those of the official and reported methods; using Student’s t test, F test and one-way ANOVA, showing no significant difference with high accuracy. Specificity of the applied method was assessed by analysing the laboratory-prepared mixtures and their combined dosage form. The developed method was confirmed according to ICH guidelines. The validated method can be considered as alternative and basic method for the routine determination of this fixed dose combination with minimum sample preparation.
