EVALUATION OF IN-VITRO ANTI-OXIDANT ACTIVITY OF SOME SYNTHESIZED NOVEL L-ARGININE ANALOGUES
A series of novel L-arginine analogues were synthesized and screened for in-vitro anti-oxidant activity by Nitric oxide (NO) scavenging and 1-1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging methods. The purity of the synthesized compounds has been characterized by various analytical techniques such as UV, FTIR and TLC. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for in-vitro anti-oxidant activity by NO...

VOLTAMMETRIC DETERMINATION OF OLOPATADINE HYDROCHLORIDE IN BULK DRUG FORM AND PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS
The voltammetric behavior of olopatadine was investigated at hanging mercury drop electrode using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The drug under study exhibited a single, well-defined reduction peak owing to the reduction of carbon-carbon double bond. The electrode and reaction conditions which yielded maximum peak current were established using differential pulse voltammetr...
