The adsorption and association of cytidine sulphate have been studied by using phase-sensitive ac-polarography in acidic buffer solution (pH 3.24) at the dropping mercury electrode. At low bulk concentrations, adsorbed molecules of cytidine sulphate at maximal adsorption potential (−0.7 V) are orientated in 'dilute' adsorption layer planar to the electrode surface where the interaction of π-electrons with interface favours adsorption. At bulk concentrations above a threshold value (6.6 × 10−3 M), the stacking interactions between vertically oriented molecules lead to association and formation of a compact layer; and a pit is observed. The concentration dependence of the ac-capacity current at a maximal adsorption potential (−0.7 V) shows a two-step Frumkin isotherm due to association of the adsorbed molecules. The adsorption parameters are computed and discussed.

Drop Time

A series of methods are used for the quantitative description of the time dependent interfacial behaviour of tributylphosphine oxide (TBPO). These methods include measurements of the interfacial tension by a capillary electrometer as well as differential capacitance measurements with a dropping mercury electrode (D.M.E.) of short drop times (⪬5 s), a D.M.E. of large drop times (~20 s) and a hanging mercury drop electrode (H.M.D.E.). The capacitance measurements with large drop times reveal the existence of peculiarities during the development of the adsorption film. The adsorption equilibrium of TBPO, at the vicinity of the adsorption maximum, is generally established within times shorter than 10 s. At the region of the adsorption pseudocapacity, time intervals ranging from 200 to 400 seconds are required for the equilibrium. The adsorption parameters derived with the large drop time D.M.E., are in reasonable agreement with those obtained by electrocapillary measurements.

"Presodium" catalytic currents at dropping mercury electrode of cysteine, cysteinylglycine, γ-glutamylcysteine and reduced glutathione were systematically studied in weakly alkaline solutions. They consist in shifts to positive potentials of current due to reduction of the blank solution, and, under some conditions, also in formation of "catalytic prewaves". The two cases have been qualitatively interpreted as based on a suggested common mechanism, differing by the occurrence of weak catalyst adsorption in the prewave case. The catalytic activity depends on the catalyst itself (concentration, structure, conformation at the electrode, partial protonation/ionisation, partial hydrophobic/hydrophilic character) as well as on the solution (pH, ionic strength, nature and concentration of components).

Ten litres of tapwater were seeded with 200 µl (8×108 HAV particles) of a commercial (Organon Teknika) suspension of hepatitis A virus. Following WALTER and RÜDIGER (1981), the contaminated tapwater was treated with a two-stage technique for concentration of viruses from solutions with low virus titers. The two-stage technique consists of aluminium hydroxideflocculation (200 mg/l Al2(SO4)3. 18 H2O, pH 5,4-5,6) as first stage, the second stage of a lysis of aluminium hydroxidegel with citric acid/sodium citrate-buffer (pH 4,7; 1 ml/l sample), separation of viruses from the lysate by ultracentrifugation and suspension in 1 ml phosphate buffer solution (pH 7,2). A commercial solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for the detection of HAV. HAV was detecterl in the 10.000:1 concentrates, but not in the seeded 101 samples. Approximately 4×108 of the inoculated 8×108 HAV particles were found in the 1 ml concentrates. The efficiency of detection is about 50%, the virus concentration 5000-fold. Although the percentage loss of HAV in comparison with concentration by means of membrane filtration is similar, the ultracentrifugation method yields a larger sample/concentrate ratio, so that smaller amounts of HAV can be detected more efficiently because of the smaller end-volume.

Background: Cefoperazone Sulbactam injection is a cephalosporin antibiotic with a β- lactamase inhibitor used in the treatment for intra abdominal infections, Urinary track infections, surgical infections, etc. The combination is not official in any of the pharmacopeia for their content and impurities determination. Introduction: The present study involves the development of a simple, rapid, accurate, sensitive and stability indicating RP-HPLC method for the quantitative estimation of Cefoperazone Sulbactam mixture and its impurities in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Methods: 0.005 M Tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide buffer solution pH adjusted to 6.80 and Acetonitrile combination has been used in a gradient programme with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The retention time of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam were observed at around 8.5 and 19.5 minutes respectively. The UV detection was carried out at a wavelength of 230 nm. The chromatographic separation was achieved using Waters xbridge C18-150*4.6 mm, 3.5 µm HPLC column. The method has been validated according to the current International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines for the method validation parameters such as Specificity, linearity, range, accuracy, precision, robustness and sensitivity. Results: The validation results indicate that the method is specific, as the known impurities and other impurities formed during the forced degradation studies were not co-eluting with the main components. Moreover, all these impurities were found to be spectrally pure, proving the stability indicating power of the method. The linearity and range of the method is in the range of 0.01-150%, highly accurate (100.2%), precise (<1%) and robust. Conclusion: The proposed method was accurate and specific for the quantitative analysis of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam and their related impurities in the sterile mixture. Hence the proposed method can be used for the quantification of impurities in routine as well as stability analysis in the development as well as quality control laboratories.

The behaviour of electrochemically reducible single-strand polynucleotides (poly(adenylic acid)) and poly(cytidylic acid)) was studied by the differential (derivative) pulse polarography (DPP) and by other methods. Measurements were performed with the help of the dropping mercury electrode under various conditions specified by the pulse width, pulse amplitude, drop time etc. For the faradaic and tensammetric DPP peaks the diagnostic criteria were proposed which make it possible to classify even very small DPP peaks of double helical polynucleotides.

A method is described for determining total platinum content in urine, blood plasma and tissues of patients or experimental animals receiving cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum(II). The method is based on drying and combustion of the biological material in a muffle furnace. The product of the combustion is dissolved successively in aqua regia, hydrochloric acid and ethylenediamine. The resulting platinum-ethylenediamine complex yields a catalytic current at a dropping mercury electrode allowing to determine platinum by differential pulse polarography. Platinum levels of c. 50-1 000 ng per ml of the biological fluid or per 0.5 g of a tissue can readily be analyzed with a linear calibration.
