MATERIALS AND METHODS Stevia genotypes (SRB-512, SRB-123, SRB-128 and Madhupatra) obtained from different locations in India were used in the present study. The plants were raised at the research farm attached to the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding while the laboratory works were carried out at the Department of Bio-Chemistry, Ch. Charan Singh University Campus Meerut. The clean and fresh leaves and stems were collected separately from growing plants of Stevia and dried at room temperature. The dry leaves/stems (in small pieses) of Stevia plant were added in boiling water. After some time, the materials (leaves and stems) were re-boiled for short time and kept at room temperature for one to two hours. After that, Stevia leaves/stems …show more content…
The spectra were recorded by making dried KBr pellet. A total scans of 16 scans per sample at resolutions were obtained over mid IR region of 400 to 4000 cm-1. The percentages of the diterpene glycosides were determined by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). For mobile phase, HPLC grade acetonitrile and water (80:20) were mixed (pH of 3.0) and filtered through 0.22 µm Millipore filter. Accurately weighed 50 mg (dried at 1000C, 3h) of stevioside standard was taken in a 100 ml volumetric flask and diluted to volume with mobile phase. Then, accurately weighed 70 - 120 mg of the sample was taken in 100 ml volumetric flask and diluted with the mobile phase. Supelcosil LC-NH2 (length: 15 - 30 cm; inner diameter: 3.9 - 4.6 mm) column was used. The flow rate was adjusted so that the retention time of stevioside is about 10 …show more content…
A broad band at 3510 - 3490 cm-1 may be attributed to O-H stretching of alcohol group. The maximum absorption for O-H stretching depends upon concentration, nature of the solvent and temperature. In case, an alcohol is branched heavily in the α-position, the absorption band corresponds to the free O-H group. In intermolecular hydrogen bonded molecules, absorption shifts are concentration dependent. The O-H stretching absorption band appears at 3570 - 3450 cm-1. The presence of a band at 2985-3000 cm-1 is attributed to C-H stretching of sp2 hybridized while the band at 2790-2865 cm-1 may be attributed to C-H stretching of sp3 hybridized carbon present in diterpene glycoside. Bands at 1724 cm-1 and 1685 cm-1 are assigned to the carbonyl group and hydrogen bonded carbonyl groups, respectively. The band at 1600 - 1585 cm-1 indicates the presence of C=C stretching of alkene group while bands at 1085 - 1020 cm-1 in FTIR spectrum are attributed to C-O stretching of ether group. The bands present at wave lengths 980 - 1000 cm-1 are attributed to C-O stretching of ethers group. Band in the range 850 - 835 cm-1 are assigned to C-C stretching in diterpene glycoside extract from Stevia leaves and
As different bonds require different amounts of energy to bend and stretch, they absorb and transmit different amounts of radiation. This data is then collected by the spectrometer and transposed into graph form. The different amounts of absorbance for various functional groups and types of bonds have been established and can be used to identify compounds. Also, an IR spectrum can be compared to known “fingerprint” spectra in order to identify the compound. When compared to the fingerprint spectrum for 1-bromobutane found in Experimental Organic Chemistry, the IR spectrum collected from the data was very similar.
Therefore, liquid-liquid and acid-base extraction techniques were successfully performed to separate the components of the Excedrin tablet. According to the TLC analysis results, the compounds (aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine) were successfully isolated from the analgesic (Excedrin tablet). In figure 1, the separation of the compound in the TLC analysis correlates with the TLC analysis in figure 2. Furthermore, Rf index calculations of the TLC analysis demonstrated that the compounds (aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine) were separated. The Rf calculations of aspirin in table 1 shows an Rf value of .491; however, in table 2 the Rf value of aspirin was calculated to be .784.
The difference in this chemical and physical properties will aid in their separation. Processes like solubility, gravitational filtration and recrystallization will be used to separate the substances present in Panacetin. The melting and boiling point of the substances will help in concluding on which of these compounds will be presented at the end of experiment. Procedure and observation The Panacetin content was weighed approximately 3.0493g and transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask; 75ml of dichloromethane (CH¬2CL2) was added to the content. The dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) dissolved the sucrose, leaving the active unknown agent and aspirin behind.
Based on this lab, FTIR spectroscopy affirmed functional groups present in Unknown 30A because it revealed specific transmittance bands for those functional
These prostaglandin chemicals are produced by enzymes called cyclooxygenases (COX). The job of the NSAID is to block the COX enzymes, thus prohibiting it from producing prostaglandins and therefore inflammation is reduced. The purification of the unknown will be done through a process called flash chromatography, a microscale version
If the drug is administered in a rectal pathway approximately 100% of Secobarbital is absorbed. The absorption of Secobarbital is rapid and takes duration of 3-4hrs. Since Secobarbital has extremely high lipid solubility and protein binding the drug is distributed to tissues and fluids across the body. The volume of distribution of Secobarbital in adults is 1.5 L/kg Secobarbital is metabolized by the liver via the major metabolite penultimate oxidation of the 1-methylbutyl substituent to form 5-allyl-5(3 '-hydroxy-1 '-methylbutyl)barbituric acid (hydroxysecobarbital).
If the water has been dispensed into another container, this reaction would have continuously run toward to the products side. Following the isolation of the ester, a drop of Isopentyl Acetate was placed into an infrared spectrometer. When bonds within molecules absorb photons at different frequencies the IR spectrometer produces a graph to represent the bonds within the ester
Introduction As a teenager inserts a familiar, gelatinous substance into his mouth, the elusive memories of childhood become perceptible once again. With an incomprehensible flavor, one may question the reason as to why organizations would desecrate this highly acclaimed children’s novelty, chewing gum, by substituting the primary ingredient, sugar, with substances adopting unintelligible names such as xylitol and sorbitol. To an unsuspecting individual, they are baffled to discover that this new-and-improved gum tastes virtually identical to the original product. These obscured ingredients are none other than sugar alcohols; while the application of them in sweets is controversial, it is insightful to know that they are organic compounds
In particular, the formulation of rosuvastatin, molecule which is generally lipophilic, poses real problems owing mainly to their low solubility in aqueous liquid pharmaceutical excipients, to their propensity to precipitate or recrystallize in aqueous solution and to their low solubility in the fluids of the gastrointestinal tract from which they must be absorbed. The bioavailability of an active ingredient also depends on its concentration in the gastrointestinal fluid, said concentration itself being dependent on the release of the active ingredient. In particular, the more lipophilic an active ingredient is, the less tendency it has to migrate in gastrointestinal fluids.
Wavelength A graph was plotted on MS Excel with absorbance on the y-axis and wavelength (nm) on the x-axis. The absorption rate initially increased until the peak of 440 nm was reached (see Figure 1). After the decline of the first peak, the rate increased until the next peak was reached at 670 nm. The peak absorbance region was at 440 nm with an absorption rate of about .818 and at 670 nm with an absorption rate of about .431. Thus, the highest absorbance values were reached at the wavelengths 440 nm and 670 nm.
54 cm-1, 1228.27 cm-1, and 1035.48 cm-1. Additionally, 1H NMR spectroscopy was gathered, which offered four different signals at 0.68 ppm, 1.45 ppm, 1.91 ppm, and 3.58 ppm. Finally, 13C NMR spectrum was obtained and showed six different signals respectively at 19.242 ppm, 21.134 ppm, 27.826 ppm, 70.855
The results were an indicative for expected IR spectrum of pure phenacetin. The IR spectrum showed peaks at (3281.67 cm-1) which indicate the presence of the N=H stretch, (3131.40 cm-1 and 3073.97 cm-1) representing the Sp2 C-H stretches, (2982.26 cm-1, 2927.60 cm-1 and 2885.53 cm-1) expressing the Sp3 C-H stretches, also (1656.82 cm-1) indicating the C =O amide stretch, and finally a wavelength at (1603.51 cm-1) representing the aromatic C =C stretch of the phenacetin molecule, respectively. Such IR spectrum results from phenacetin in comparison with an acetaminophen IR spectrum clearly showed the elimination of the hydroxide (OH) bond present at the acetaminophen molecular structure, which resulted in the IR spectrum not indicating the presence of a strong and broad (alcohol-phenol) band at about 3500 cm-1
When using this, it has been known to cause iridoid glucosides by human fecal flora transformation (site). Specifically for pharmacodynamics, the goal is to observe drug absorption, distribution, and
