Abstract

Sixty patients of ages ranging from 11 to 64, with chronic urticaria from 2 months to 50 years duration, were studied with the provocation test. We found responses in 33.3% of patients. Tartrazine was the most common inducer, specially in those patients sensitive to aspirin with increased salicilate blood levels. As we did not use aspirin as inducer the results with tartrazine are more relevant and can be used to detect a positive response to aspirin. The relation between tartrazine and aspirin was not observed in patients with pressure or cholinergic urticaria. The provocation test is most useful in patients with chronic urticaria of unknown cause. 4 hydroxybenzoic acid and sodium acid and sodium benzoate were the more common inducers in the latter patients. We feel that the provocation test is a useful tool to study patients with chronic urticaria. Tartrazine, 4 hydroxybenzoic acid, sodium benzoate, tiramin and penicilin are included in the test. The responders should eliminate the offender from their diet.

Kinetic method for acetylsalicylic acid determination based on its inhibitory effect upon the catalytic decomposition of H(2)O(2).

The catalytic reaction of catalase was investigated, by means of a Clark oxygen sensor, in the presence of various concentrations of acetylsalicylic acid. Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters were determined from Lineweaver-Burk plots, obtained in the absence and in the presence of the inhibitor. The inhibition pattern, suggested by the Lineweave-Burk plots, corresponds to a fully mixed inhibition mechanism. A kinetic method, based on the indicator reaction: [Formula: see text], was developed for the quantitative determination of acetylsalicylic acid. Calibration graphs of the reciprocal value of first-order rate constant versus acetylsalicylic concentration covered the concentration range (2.99-19.98)x10(-4) mol/L, while the detection limit was 4.12x10(-4) mol/L acetylsalicylic acid with a standard deviation of 2.1x10(-5) mol/L.

Characterisation of reversed-phase liquid-chromatographic columns by chromatographic tests comparing column classification based on chromatographic parameters and column performance for the separation of acetylsalicylic acid and related compounds.

Selection of RP-LC columns with suitable selectivity for a given analysis is difficult. For example, the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and other official compendia for drug analysis only give a general description of the stationary phase in the operating procedure of a liquid chromatographic method. The need for a general test method to characterise RP-LC columns has been rising since the 1970s. A project to define a chromatographic procedure characterising RP-LC columns was started earlier. A procedure to measure test parameters was introduced and a classification of the columns, based on a minimal number of parameters, was obtained. This paper focuses on correlating the column classification with the selectivity obtained for a real separation. The separation of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and related compounds was performed according to the Ph. Eur. monograph on the stationary phases previously characterised chromatographically. It was examined whether the classes of columns, determined using test parameter results, contain either suitable or unsuitable supports for the aspirin separation. The system suitability test prescribed by the Ph. Eur. in order to distinguish between suitable or unsuitable columns for this separation was also evaluated.
