Enhanced bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles synthesized using marine brown macro algae


ABSTRACT:

In the present investigation silver nanoparticles of spherical shape was synthesized biologically by rapid biological drip method using marine brown macro algae, Sargassum wightii (S. Wightii). Seaweed extract act as a reducing agent for silver nitrate. Silver nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometer, FourierTransform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM). Antibacterial activity of these nanoparticles was carried out by antibiotic disc diffusion method against pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Seaweed S. wightii mediated silver nanoparticles were found to be effective against these pathogens than silver nitrate.

A Validated specific Stability-indicating RP-HPLC method for Aripiprazole and its related substances

Image
ABSTRACT : A validated specific stability indicating reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method was developed for the quantitative determination of Aripiprazole and its related substances in bulk samples, pharmaceutical dosage forms in presence of degradation products. Forced degradation studies were performed on bulk sample of Aripiprazole as per ICH prescribed stress conditions using acid, base, oxidative, thermal stress and photolytic degradation to show the stability indicating power of the method. Significant degradation was observed during basic stress and no degradation was observed in other stress conditions. The chromatographic method was optimized using the samples generated from forced degradation studies and the impurity spiked with Aripiprazole. Good resolution between the peaks corresponds to impuritiy-1, degradation products from the analyte were achieved on YMC PACK C18 column using the mobile phase consists a mixture of Sodium dihydrogen Orthophosphate dehydra...
