Incarvillea emodi (Bignoniaceae) is a rich source of bioactive iridoid glucosides. This plant contains two major iridoid glucosides: plantarenaloside, a neurotropic compound, and boschnaloside, a strong antibacterial compound. Here, in this study we have developed a simple and fast HPLC-DAD method for the total comparative estimation of these two major iridoids from different parts of Incarvillea emodi. A linear calibration curve (r2=0.999) for both iridoid glucosides in varying range (15.6–500 μg/ml) is obtained. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for plantarenaloside were 11.4 ng and 38 ng and for boschnaloside were 22.8 ng and 76 ng, respectively. The shoots, roots, and flowers of Incarvillea emodi have a combined presence of 7.66, 1.22, and 6.99 percent of these iridoid glucosides on dry weight basis. In shoots, plantarenaloside shows complete dominance (6.78%) over boschnaloside (0.88%), and a reversal of this trend was observed in case of flowers where boschnaloside shows complete dominance (6.12%) over plantarenaloside (0.87%). The roots contain 1.19% and 0.03% of both iridoids, respectively.

Objective: To develop and validate the RP-HPLC method and in vitro dissolution study for escitalopram as antidepressant drug and their formulation. Methods: The chromatographic separation was done by using a C-18, 150 mm column and a mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer (40%) and acetonitrile HPLC grade (60%). Detection was carried out at 211 nm with a flow rate of 1 ml/min with an injection of 20 μl. The method was validated with different parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and limit of detection (LOD), the limit of quantification (LOQ) according to ICH guidelines. Results: The linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of 0-50 μg/ml and gave an average correlation factor 0.992. The retention time was observed at 2.96 min. The Minimum concentration level at which the analyte can be reliably detected (LOD) and quantified (LOQ) were found to be 0.03 and 0.09 µg/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviation of intra and the inter-day assay was found to be less than 2. The dissolution studies show moderate dissolution (23.4%) after 45 min, but it reaches a plateau after approximately 25 min. Conclusion: This method was found to be simple, rapid and economic with less run time. The validated parameters manifest the method is reliable, linear, accurate and precise as well as robust with minor variations in chromatographic parameters. Therefore, the developed method can be applied for both routine analysis and quality control assay and it could be a very powerful tool to investigate the stability of escitalopram.

A simple and sensitive ultraviolet spectrophotometric method for quantitative estimation of glipizide in presence of lipid turbidity is described to avoid false estimation due to diffraction by turbidity. UV detection was performed at 230 nm, 225 nm, and 235 nm, and the calibration curve was plotted between resultant of absorbance of [230 nm − (225 nm + 235 nm)/2] and concentration of analyte. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range tested (1–20 μg/mL) with limit of detection of 0.27 μg/mL and limit of quantification of 0.82 μg/mL. Percent relative standard deviations and percent relative mean error, representing precision and accuracy, respectively, for clear as well as turbid solutions, were found to be within acceptable limits, that is, always less than 0.69 and 0.41, respectively, for clear solution and 0.65 and 0.47, respectively, for turbid solution. Conclusively, our method was successfully applied for the determination of glipizide in clear as well as turbid solutions, and it was found that the drug analyte in both types of solutions can be detected from the same calibration curve accurately and precisely and glipizide entrapped in the liposomes or in proliposomal matrix was not detected.

Because there is a dearth of data on the taxon Senna, the aim of this study was to determine the phytochemical composition of various botanical parts of Senna gardneri Irwin & Barneby and Senna georgica Irwin & Barneby. A total of 24 polyphenolic compounds were identified in methanol extracts. The higher concentration (on a dry weight basis) of polyphenolic compounds, was detected in the leaves (29.3 g/kg) and roots (17.3 g/kg) of S. gardneri. By contrast, a lower concentration of polyphenolic compounds were detected in the roots of S. georgica (11.8 g/kg), followed by the bark (5.8 g/kg), leaves (0.7 g/kg) and fruits (0.3 g/kg). Flavonoids comprised the major polyphenolic compounds in leaves of S. gardneri (98 %) and S. georgica (100 %) and the bark of S. georgica (86 %). Whereas the composition was quite different in the roots, of which the major components were stilbenes and naphthapyrones at 87 % and 13 % in S. georgica roots and 64 % and 28 % in S. gardneri roots. The fruits of S. georgica contained only one anthraquinone. In conclusion the roots of S. gardneri (11.023 g/kg) and S. georgica (10.285 g/kg) are a rich source of stilbenes, which have promising cancer chemopreventive capacities.

Acalypha indica L. is an herbaceous medicinal plant, which is grown abundantly in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi people typically use various parts of this plant for various primary healthcare treatments. The current research was conducted to check and quantify various phytochemicals and mineral components of the assorted parts of Acalypha indica L. The screening analysis shows that studied all phytochemicals were present in the leaf part but not in stem and shoot parts and some were missing or trace amount in root. Total phenol, flavonoid, and tannins content on a dry weight basis ranged from 0.53-0.82 mg GAE/g, 0.02-1.47 mg QE/g and 0.21-0.32 mg TAE/g respectively. Among the phytochemicals the leaf contains the highest amount of flavonoid (1.47 mg QE/g), and lowest in stem (0.02 mg QE/g). Similarly, the amount of minerals like Fe, Zn, K and Pb was 0.23-0.40 mg/kg, 0.01- 0.021 mg/kg, 1.55-2.85 mg/kg and 0.149-0.204 mg/kg respectively. K was the largest volume of mineral for both leaf and stem. Lowest quantity of Zn was observed in most cases. This finding indicates that the studied plant might be good source of phytochemicals. J.

Abstract Background: According to recent International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, the limit of detection (LoD) of an assay should be estimated taking both type I (α) and II (β) errors into account. The suggested procedure, however, supposes gaussian distributions of both blank and sample measurements and a linear calibration curve. In clinical chemistry, asymmetric, nongaussian blank distributions are common, and the calibration curve may be nonlinear. We present a partly nonparametric procedure that takes these aspects into account. Methods: Using theoretical distribution models and simulation studies, we developed a LoD estimation procedure suitable for the field of clinical chemistry that is partly based on nonparametric statistics. Results: For sample size n, the nonparametrically determined 95th percentile of the blank measurements {obtained as the value of the [n(95/100) + 0.5]th ordered observation} defines the limit for results significantly exceeding zero [limit of blank (LoB)]. The LoD is the lowest value that is likely to yield a result exceeding the LoB. LoD is estimated as: LoB + cβ × SDS, where SDS is the analytical SD of a sample with a low concentration; cβ = z1 − β/[1 − 1/(4 × f)]; z1 − β is the standard normal deviate; and f is the number of degrees of freedom for estimation of SDS. cβ is approximately equal to 1.65 for a type II error of 5%. Approaches and needed tabular values for calculation of confidence limits are presented as well as sample size. Worked examples are given to illustrate estimation and verification of the limit of detection. Simulation results are used to document performance. Conclusion: The proposed procedure appears useful for application in the field of clinical chemistry and promotes a standardized approach for estimating LoDs of clinical chemistry assays.

Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Black Valentine) pretreated with gibberellic acid (hereinafter referred to as GA) absorb and accumulate considerably more N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (naptalam) than untreated plants. All concentrations of GA from 2.9 × 10−6 to 8.6 × 10−4M were effective; peak influence occurred at 6 × 10−4M. Plants pretreated with this concentration took up 58% more naptalam than untreated plants. When the different parts of the plant were analyzed for naptalam separately, the leaf area (on a per g dry weight basis) was influenced most by GA pretreatment. The leaf area of bean plants pretreated with 2.9 × 10−4M contained 212% more naptalam than the leaf area of untreated plants. The leaf area also included all stem and petiole tissue above and including the first true leaves.
