Roots of Ligusticum mutellina (L.) CRANTZ afforded five major compounds, the phenylpropanoids trans-isoelemicin (1), sarisan (2), and trans-isomyristicin (3), and the polyacetylenes falcarindiol (4) and falcarindiol-3-O-acetate (5). Structures were a...

Two aromatic plants have been selected for chemical investigation on account of their antibacterial activities, Plectranthus glandulosus (fresh leaves) and Cinnamomum zeylunicum (dried leaves). P. glandulosus is used as a medicinal plant, while Cinna...

Studies on the essential oil of leaves and terminal twigs of Juniperus communis L. var. saxatilis Pall., isolated by steam and hydro distillation using Clevenger type apparatuses showed marked differences in the composition depending on whether the p...

Conventional suppositories of tolmetin sodium were prepared by using two different types of Witepsol as an oily base and two different ratios of polyethylene glycol 400: polyethylene glycol 4000 as an water-soluble base. In addition, sustained- relea...

Three accurate methods were developed for the quantitative determination of cefprozil in pure form and in its dosage forms. The first method was based upon the interaction of the drug with 3-methyl-benzothiazolinone-2-hydrazone (MBTH) in the presence...

An accurate and very sensitive spectrofluorimetric method is proposed for the estimation of heptaminol (HP) and mexiletine (MX) in their pure forms and in pharlnaceutical formulations. The method is based on the reaction of these drugs with the stron...

The formation of the azo-dye using chromotropic acid as a coupling agent was applied to the determination of five sulphonamides. The spectrophotometric studies as well as microanalysis of the studied sulphonamides- chromotropic acid azo dyes revealed...
