Ultraviolet spectrophotometry of theophylline in plasma in the presence of barbiturates.

Ultraviolet spectrophotometry is widely used for the analysis of theophylline in blood, for purposes of monitoring therapy, and for pharmacokinetic studies. Phenobarbital, a component of common oral theophylline preparations, interferes with assays now in use. The modification of the method of Schack and Waxler [J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 97, 283 (1949)] presented in this paper eliminates barbiturate interference. After solvent extraction and back extraction into NaOH, the pH of the alkaline solution is adjusted from pH 13 to 10 before spectrophotometric measurement. This shifts the barbiturate absorption maximum from 255 to 240 nm, permitting accurate analysis of theophylline, the spectrum of which is unaffected by the pH change.

Improved ultraviolet spectrophotometry of serum theophylline.

We present an improved method for ultraviolet spectrophotometry of theophylline in serum. We studied various extraction techniques aimed at eliminating interferences from co-extractable serum constituents. In the resulting modified procedure, 1 ml of serum is required and a salt-solvent pair of ammonium sulfate and chloroform/hexane is used for extraction. The solvent forms the top phase after extraction, the lower phase after back-extraction, thereby permitting easy removal of the appropriate phase from culture tubes. The use of ammonium sulfate coupled with the added specificity of the extraction solvent results in an extract with low background absorption and a well-defined spectrum for the extracted theophylline.

[Determination of the initial stage of fat auto-oxidation in dry dairy products by ultraviolet spectrophotometry].

Studied were the values of the conjugated dienes using ultraviolet spectrophotometry of fats contained in the dry dairy products produced in this country, such as powdered milk for children, Vitalakt 1, Bébé 1, and Biolakton in the first months of storage. It was found that the extinction maximum values characteristic of the conjugated dienes for the fats of all studied dry milk products were at 227 nm. The juxtaposition of changes taking place with conjugated dienes and peroxide numbers of the fats during storage revealed the greater stability of conjugated dienes in comparison with the hydroperoxides.
