Investigation of transport of glibenclamide drug across micro-pore supported model membrane using electro analytical methods

Glibenclamide is a second generation sulfonyl urea compound used as an oral hypoglycemic or anti diabetic agent, a class of drug used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus. The bilayer lipid membrane systems have been employed extensively as an experimental model of bio membranes. It is of major importance in medical research, particularly in the study of mechanism of a number of life saving therapeutic agents where a lipid...

Evaluating the potentials of complexing agents in multi-metal extractions using 4,4´-(1e,1e´)-1,1´-(Ethane-1,2-Diylbis(Azan-1-Yl-1ylidene))Bis(5-Methyl-2-Phenyl-2,3-Dihydro-1h-Pyrazol-3-Ol) (H2BuEtP)

Heavy metals toxicity has led to the continuous study of new and efficient methods for their removal from the environment. Solvent extraction method was used to study the potentials of the auxiliary complexing agents Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), Oxalate (C2O42-), Thiocyanate (SCN-) and Tartrate (C4H4O62-) ions in the simultaneous extraction of Cadmium, Iron, Nickel and Lead from aqueous solutions buffered to...
