ABSTRACTStenotrophomonas maltophiliaIOMTU250 has a novel 6′-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase-encoding gene,aac(6′)-Iak. The encoded protein, AAC(6′)-Iak, consists of 153 amino acids and has 86.3% identity to AAC(6′)-Iz.Escherichia colitransformed with a plasmid containingaac(6′)-Iakexhibited decreased susceptibility to arbekacin, dibekacin, neomycin, netilmicin, sisomicin, and tobramycin. Thin-layer chromatography showed that AAC(6′)-Iak acetylated amikacin, arbekacin, dibekacin, isepamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, netilmicin, sisomicin, and tobramycin but not apramycin, gentamicin, or lividomycin.

Abstract A rapid, simple, and specific thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) method has been developed for the estimation of panthenol and pantothenic acid in pharmaceutical preparations containing other vitamins, amino acids, syrups, enzymes, etc. The vitamin is extracted with ethanol (tablets and capsules) or benzyl alcohol (liquid oral preparations) and isolated from other ingredients by TLC on silica gel with isopropanol-water (85 + 15, v/v) as developing solvent. β-Alanine (pantothenate) or β-alanol (panthenol) is liberated by heating for 20 min at 160°C. The liberated amines are visualized by ninhydrin reaction and estimated by spectrodensitometry at 490 nm. Recoveries for panthenol and pantothenic acid were 99.8 ± 2.25% and 100.2 ± 1.7%, respectively.
