The objective of the current study was to develop and validate a simple, accurate, precise and selective stability-indicating gradient reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous estimation of Ofloxacin (OFL) and Cefixime (CEF) in pharmaceutical formulation in presence of degradation products. The chromatographic separation of Ofloxacin and Cefixime was achieved on Shimadzu LC-20AT series HPLC having C18-ODS bonded column (250 ×4.6 mm, 40 °C, 10 μL) using UV/Visible detector at 276 nm. The optimized mobile phase was consisted of a methanol: phosphate buffer (50:50) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The retention times were 4.799 and 1.602 min for Ofloxacin and Cefixime respectively. The proposed method provided linear responses within the concentration ranges 5-25 µg/ml for Ofloxacin and Cefixime both. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values were found to be 0.0259, 0.078 µg/ml and 0.0206, 0.062 µg/ml for Ofloxacin and Cefixime F respectively. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness and ruggedness. The studies data revealed that developed method was convenient, fairly reliable, sensitive, less expensive and reproducible.

Therefore wide range of analytical methods for quantitation of DXM have been developed such as, high performance liquid Chromatography(HPLC) (Abdel-Moety, Al-Deeb, and Khattab 1995, Tedesco et al. 2013, Eichhold et al. 1997, Hoskins, Shenfield, and Gross 1997) (Abdel-Moety, Al-Deeb, and Khattab 1995, Tedesco et al. 2013, Eichhold et al. 1997, Hoskins, Shenfield, and Gross 1997) 7), thin-layer Chromatography(Singh and Moody 1995)(Singh and Moody 1995)
0.300 grams of biphenyl/ p-toluidine sample was weighed. Next, 10 mL of dichloromethane was measured in a graduated cylinder. The dichloromethane was transferred to a small beaker then the solid mixture was dissolved in it. A Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) was conducted with the dissolved mixture in 20% Ethyl Acetate and 80% Hexane solution. The TLC plate was observed to be impure with two spots. To being extraction, a separatory funnel was placed inside of the hood and the stopcock was closed. A flask was placed under the funnel then the mixture was added to the funnel. Next, 10 mL of 3M HCL was measured in a graduated cylinder and
Into the SPE cartridge added 1 ml of methanol and aqua bides with the help of a vacuum (conditioning steps), added 1 ml of plasma was spiked with OFX concentration (0.10, 0.25, 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00 5.00, and 6.00, μg/ml), each concentration contained CFX 3μg/ml (loading steps). Added 1 ml 5% methanol (washing steps), eluted analysts with 20% acetonitrile 1ml in phosphate buffer (eluting steps). Analytics was injected into the HPLC using optimize condition, then the efficiency of extraction of SPE is calculated by comparing the area under curve (AUC) between SPE and without SPE chromathograms for same
Running the chloroform extracts and diluted sample together with two positive controls and a negative control on a single chromatographic plate simultaneously, the retention factor(Rf) of five different samples were determined. The RF value of the chloroform extract(0.75) tallied with that of the codeine positive control and that of diluted sample(1.00) with the paracetamol positive control.
A simple, rapid, sensitive and effective reverse phase ultra performance liquid chromatographic method (RP-UPLC) has been developed and validated an assay for simultaneous quantification of Lamivudine, Abacavir and Dolutegravir in pure and tablet dosage forms. Chromatographic separation was performed by using Waters- Alliance UPLC system equipped with autosampler, PDA detector, zodiac sil RP C18 (4.6×250mm 3.0µm) column, phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) and methanol in the ratio of 30:70 v/v have been delivered at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min and the detection was carried out using a UV detector at a wavelength 260nm at ambient column temperature. The mobile phase is used as diluent. The retention time (Rt) for Lamivudine, Abacavir and Dolutegravir
Through this experiment, I determined the components of a mixture of compounds by Thin-layer Chromatography (TLC). By using this method, I was able to make an identification by detecting the presence or absence of particular compounds by comparing the Rf values of known compounds to an unknown sample. For this experiment, the list of possible compounds in the samples are as follows: Acetaminophen, Aspirin, Salicylamide, Caffeine, and Phenacetin. To compare the Rf values of the possible compounds to an unknown sample, I chose TLC 4 as my unknown. Although I calculated several Rf values, the only values that were important were the values of the spots of the known compounds that lined up with the unknown spots on the TLC plate. Through careful
Antibiotics have been shown to significantly change the makeup of the gut microbiota and in general lead to gut bacteria with less diversity.12 It is well-known that antibiotics can cause short-term alterations in gut microbiota, however the long-term effects have not been well documented. Jernberg et al. analyzed the long-term effects of a 7 day antibiotic treatment on fecal microbiota and found significant disruption in the gut bacteria, most notably a decrease in the number of Bacteroidetes bacteria.12 In fact, the Bacteroidetes bacteria never returned to its original numbers, indicating that even after short-term antibiotics have ended, long-term impacts on gut microbiota continue to persist.12 Similarly, results of a study conducted by Dethlefsin and Relman indicated that gut bacteria was quickly changed with exposure to antibiotics. After 10 months the makeup of gut bacteria stabilized but remained in an altered state.18
Nadifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone with broad spectrum antibacterial activity [9] as topical agent It is used in the treatment of multiple inflamed acne lesions. It shows bactericidal activity against propionibacterium acne and other gram passitive and gram negative bacteria. It is poorly soluble in water with a log p of 2.47. Liposomal system is most useful for treatment of acne as it improves the skin attachment and consequently enhances the accumulation of antibacterial agent in the target area[11]. Maximum amount of drug encapsulation helps in maximum penetration of drug and producing a sustain release effect at the site. [12]

An aliquot (20µl) of this solution was injected into HPLC system. Peak area of canagliflozin was measured for the
Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem throughout the globe. Besides using antibiotics for medical use, they are being used in the agriculture industry. In animals, antibiotics are being used to treat diseases, but also to prevent diseases from occurring and to increase the growth of animals (Mehndiratta, 2014, p.340). In recent years, the evidence of farmers using antibiotics for non-traditional ways has sparked major controversy. In agriculture 90% of antibiotics are used for growth-promoting and prophylactic agents with the other 10% being used to treat diseases (Khachatourians, 1998, p.2). To understand why this occurs, we first must understand the genetic basis for antibiotic resistance and the occurrence of antibiotic resistance in selected organisms. By farmers doing this an increase in the number and types of microorganisms resistant to drugs, has increased public health problems. Finally, management options for reducing antibiotics in the environment have to occur. If farmers continue to use antibiotics for non-traditional uses, as humans we can be affected greatly not just by food supply, but by water runoff, the air, and even the soil. Also, more public health problems will occur.
There are three main classes of detection of antibiotics in food products. The detection of antibiotics in food is an ambiguous field, where not much is known.
