The aim of the study was to prevent crystallization of sucrose on the bottle neck and cap of sugar syrup containing products by treating the manufacturing process with citric acid monohydrate. Diphenhydramine HCl syrup was selected as a model product for the experiment. Sugar syrup (66% w/w sucrose) and partially inverted sugar syrup (in which 66% w/w sucrose was treated with citric acid monohydrate for partially conversion of sucrose into invert sugars) were prepared and the content of invert sugar of both the sugar syrups were determined. Sugar syrup and citric acid monohydrate treated sugar syrup (partially inverted) were considered as control and test sugar syrup, respectively which were used to manufacture the Diphenhydramine HCl syrup product. The Diphenhydramine HCl syrup product that prepared using sugar syrup was considered as control syrup product and that was prepared using citric acid monohydrate treated sugar syrup (partially inverted) was considered as the test syrup product. Then experiments were designed in such a way that both control (sugar syrup and product prepared by it) and test samples (partially inverted syrup and product prepared by it) were spread on open petridishes and also spread on the neck of filled bottle, inside of caps and the bottles, which were kept at room temperature (25 0C) for 2 weeks observation. At zero time and after two weeks, crystal growths of sucrose for each experiment were checked visually. No crystal was observed in open petridishes and bottle necks of partially inverted sugar syrup of Diphenhydramine HCl syrup prepared by using partially inverted sugar syrup, where content of invert sugars was more than 75 % w/w, but remarkable crystal growths were found in open petridishes and bottle necks of sugar syrup and Diphenhydramine HCl syrup prepared by using sugar syrup, where the content of invert sugars was less than 15 % w/w.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 19(2): 190-196, 2016

Modern instrumental analytical methods for the determination of 13C/12C ratios are established to differentiate between metabolic products of C3 and C4 plants. Differentiation and identification of sucrose from pure beet (Beta vulgaris) and pure cane (Saccharum officinarum) are possible without doubt. Influenced by the worldwide hydrological cycle the determination of the isotope ratios of 2H/1H and 18O/16O as well as their variations provide information about geographical origin. Using samples of selected crystal cane sugar (CCS) with known origin, invert sugar syrups (ISS) as well as burnt sugar syrups (BSS) produced therefrom, the authenticity was determined. The speciality sugars ISS and BSS which were made from CCS could be identified as carbohydrates of C4 plants by using 13C/12C Isotope-Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS). In combination with yeast fermentation of ISS and sugar separation from BSS and fermentation into ethanol as well as knowledge about production water, the C2-H/O isotope ratios of ethanol can theoretically determine the geographical origin of the sugars.

In this article, the results of the research on organic pollutant treatment in the wastewater of printing processes on fabric by H2O2 under the catalytic role of the complex between ion Ni2+ and Citric acid (H4L) were presented. The condition of pH, H4L/Ni2+, H2O2, Ni2+ concentration has been explored to get the optimal conditions for improving COD efficient treatment. The results provide the solutions of the homogeneous complex  catalysts in the industrial wastewater treatment at room temperature and atmosphere.

Aim of the present study was to identify some phenolic compounds isolated from the dried powder leaves of Solanum Elaeagnifolium Cav. (Solanaceae family) collected from Benghazi area, Libya originally native in the Americas. The extraction was carried out with methanol at room temperature and treated by acidification (H2SO4, pH = 4) & basification (NH4OH, pH = 10). The compounds were separated by chromatographic method through a wet glass silica gel column and purification by medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC). The experiment yielded one novel compound named 2-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-3,6,8-trihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one [A3] and three previously known phenolic which were isolated for the first time from this plant under study (Quercetin [A1], Rutin [A2] & Mangiferin [A4]). The structures were determined using modern spectroscopic techniques (IR, EI-mass, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, APT, HMQC & COSY) using DMSO-d6 solvent in magnetic resonance application.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v3i3.17890 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, February 2014, 3(3): 234-239

The crude methanolic extract of Averrhoa bilimbi Linn. (Oxalidiaceae) fruits and its different fractions have been investigated for the evaluation of in vitro cytotoxic potential. The dried and powder fruits were extracted with methanol at room temperature and the concentrated methanolic extract was fractionated by the modified Kupchan partitioning method to provide pet-ether, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and aqueous soluble fractions. Brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality bioassay was used to investigate the cytotoxic potential of A. bilimbi. Compared to vincristine sulfate (with LC50 of 0.839 µg/ml) methanolic extract, carbon tetrachloride and pet-ether soluble fractions demonstrated a significant cytotoxic potential (having LC50 of 0.005µg/ml, 1.198µg/ml and 0.781µg/ml, respectively). The LC50 values of chloroform and aqueous soluble fractions were 5.691µg/ml and 6.123µg/ml, respectively. This study reveals that A. bilimbi possesses effective cytotoxic properties and hence can be a potential source for the isolation of active principle(s) for cancer therapy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v2i3.13634 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, February 2013, 2(3): 83-84

The stability of plasma parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) as measured by the Nichols Institute assay at room temperature was assessed over a period of 72 h in blood samples collected in protease inhibitor tubes and EDTA tubes at 0, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h from 10 patients with hypercalcaemia of malignancy. Mean plasma PTHrP concentrations in blood samples collected in protease inhibitor tubes remained stable for up to 48 h but had decreased by 10% at 72 h. The mean EDTA plasma PTHrP at zero time was 67% of the protease inhibitor tube value and this had fallen to 39% at 72 h. The stability of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in separated blood samples was also assessed by collection into heparin and plain tubes as well as EDTA and protease inhibitor tubes. Serum PTH concentrations progressively declined throughout the 72 h study period although the zero time values were significantly higher than corresponding plasma PTH concentrations. Plasma PTH concentrations appeared to be stable when blood was collected in heparin, EDTA and protease inhibitor tubes during the 72 h period, except in one subject with markedly elevated plasma amylase activity.
