A simple, precise and accurate spectrophotometric method was developed for analysis of the osteoporesis drug alendronate sodium (ALS). The method is based on reaction of the drug with sodium-1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate (NQS) in presence of alkali to form a brown colored complex giving absorption maximum at 525 nm. The drug obeyed Beer’s law in the range of 5-70 µg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The LOD and LOQ values are 1.7 µg/ml and 5.0 µg/ml, respectively. The average recoveries for recovery study were found to be in the range of 99.37%-100.46%. The R.S.D. values for intraday and inter-day precision were found to be 0.48 and 0.62, respectively. The optimized assay conditions were applied successfully for determination of ALS in pharmaceutical dosage forms. No interference was observed from the excipients present in the dosage form. The method is statistically validated as per the ICH requirements.

Objective: A new, simple, economical, precise, sensitive, linear, accurate, rapid UV spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of Oseltamivir Phosphate in pure form and pharmaceutical formulation. Methods: This UV method was developed using Methanol as a solvent. In the present method, the wavelength selected for analysis was 218 nm. UV-Visible double beam spectrophotometer (Systronic 2201) was used to carry out spectral analysis. The ICH guidelines were used to validate the method. Results: The method was validated for linearity, range, accuracy, precision, robustness, LOD and LOQ. Linearity was found in the range of 10-50µg/ml. Accuracy was performed by using a recovery study. The amount of drug recovered was found to be in the range of 99.01-100.1%. The % RSD value was found to be less than 2. Conclusion: The developed UV spectrophotometric method was found to be simple, economic, sensitive, easy, accurate, linear, specific and highly sensitive and can be used for routine estimation of Oseltamivir Phosphate.

Abstract Background Shelter-in-place orders and social distancing guidelines, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have limited traditional face-to-face interactions and led to many clinical providers transitioning to the use of videoconferencing platforms. The present study aims to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted adolescents’/young adults’ (AYA) eating disorder (ED)-related care, and how access to, changes in, perceived disruptions to, and quality of care are associated with ED thoughts and behaviors. Methods AYA enrolled in the RECOVERY study, a pre-existing web-based longitudinal study, and completed a COVID-19-specific survey (n = 89). We examined bivariate associations of four markers of care: i) access to care, ii) changes in care, iii) perceived disruption to care, and iv) quality of care. Using multiple logistic regression, we examined the associations of pandemic-related markers of care with changes in ED thoughts and behaviors. We excluded those not engaged in treatment pre-pandemic (n = 16). Results In the remaining 73 participants, reported access to care was high, with 92% of respondents continuing care with at least one ED provider during the pandemic; however, 47% stopped some treatment during the pandemic. Nearly one-third (32%) perceived a disruption in treatment. Quality of care remained high with 67% reporting care to be better than or as good as pre-pandemic. Respondents acknowledged heightened symptomatology: 81% reported increased ED thoughts and 81% reported increased ED behaviors due to COVID-19-related factors. However, none of the markers of care described were significantly associated with ED thoughts or behaviors in regression analyses adjusting for demographic variables and baseline characteristics, except our quality of care measure which was approaching significance (p = 0.07). Conclusions Our findings show the majority of AYA who had care prior to the pandemic continued receiving some element of their multi-disciplinary ED treatment and perceived their care as high quality. None of the markers of care described were statistically associated with increased ED thoughts and behaviors.

Tablet Dosage

New first derivative ratio spectrophotometric method was developed for simultaneous estimation of telmisartan hydrochloride (TELM) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in combined tablet dosage form without prior separation. The amplitude in the first derivative of the corresponding ratio spectra at 263.2 nm and 278.4 nm of TELM and for HCTZ at 287.2 nm and 304.8 nm were selected for the determination. The calibration graphs were established in the range of 1-10μg/mL and 2-15 μg/mL of TELM and HCTZ, respectively. The percentage recoveries of binary mixture of TELM were found to be 97.81±1.05 (263.2nm) and 96.60±1.91 (278.4nm) and for HCTZ were found to be 97.47±1.41 (287.2), 98.16± 1.45 (304.8nm) by proposed method. This method was successfully applied for the analysis of commercial tablet formulation, with no interference from excipients as indicated by the recovery study results. The proposed method was validated, statistically analyzed, compared with reported HPLC method and can be successfully applied for the routine analysis.

Abstract An improved method for extraction and analysis of tiamulin is presented to address issues that arose during routine analysis of Type C medicated swine feeds under the current U.S. Food and Drug Administration-Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA-CVM) approved method. The issues included the need for higher sample throughput and the ability to accommodate a wider variety of feed matrixes. Changes to the FDA-CVM approved method include reduced sample size and solvent volumes, phosphate buffering of tartaric acid, centrifugation, and use of a new liquid chromatography column and adjusted mobile phase composition. A paired sample study was performed to compare performance of the new and existing methods. The paired sample study showed no statistical difference between sample means of paired sets of 17 samples analyzed by both methods (t = 1.95 at 0.05 significance level, p = 0.068). A recovery study showed the method precision to be 2.06% (coefficient of variation) with an average standard recovery of 95.8%. Ruggedness test results indicated good overall ruggedness of the method.

Abstract A direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the freshwater blue-green algal toxin mlcrocystln (MCYST) In algae and water was developed. The assay Involves coating antl-MCYST-variant leuclne-arglnine (LR) antibody to the ELISA plate and the use of MCYST-LRperoxidase as the enzyme marker. The linear portion of the standard curve for MCYST in phosphate buffer containing saline (PBS) was 0.5-10.0 ng/mL (25-500 pg/assay). The minimum detection level for MCYST-LR was 0.20 ng/mL (10 pg/assay). Contaminated water could be directly used In the ELISA. The overall analytical recoveries for MCYST-LR added to water at levels of 1-20 ng/mL was 83.4%. For analysis of cellular MCYST, the toxin was first extracted from the algae with 0.1M ammonium bicarbonate, diluted with PBS to less than 0.5 mg dried algae/mL (<5.0 mg wet welght/mL) and directly used in the ELISA. C-18 reverse-phase Sep-Pak cartridges effectively adsorbed MCYST from the toxln-containlng solutions. The toxin could be recovered from the cartridge by elutlng with 60% methanol. Using this approach, an algae extract that was relatively free of MCYST was prepared and was used in a recovery study. The overall analytical recovery of MCYST added to the algae extract In the range of 0.25-20 ppm was 83% with a coefficient of variation of 11.9%. The detection limit for MCYST In dried algae was about 0.25-0.5 pg/g (0.25-0.5 ppm) lyophlllzed algae sample. This method was applied for the analysis of several naturally occurring algal blooms. Limited samples were also analyzed for MYCST by liquid chromatography. ELISA data were in general agreement with those obtainedby liquid chromatography. MCYST concentrations from 0.006 to 2.9 fig/g (6 to 2900 ppb) and from 26 to 5200 /ig/g (26 ppm to 5200 ppm) were found In water and algae (dried weight), respectively
