In this study, a potentiometric titration method by Calvin-Bjerrum and Irwing-Rosotti was used to investigate binary complexes of ibandronate sodium, a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, with Ca(II), Mg(II) and Sr(II). Dissociation constants (pKa) of ibandronate sodium were measured and the stability constants of the complexes formed in aqueous solutions at 22 o C (I = 0. 11 M NaClO4) were determined. The stoichiometry of ibandronate sodium/metal complexes was found as 1/1 for each metal ion .

This study was aimed at developing a single RP-HPLC method for determination of Natamycin in 20 different cheese samples purchased from local Turkish supermarkets. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a X-Terra RP18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm x 5 µm) with a mobile phase of acetonitrile: water (30:70 v/v/v), at 0.8 mL/min flow rate with DAD detection at 305 nm. In twenty cheese samples, Natamycin was analyzed by using sample preparation method of ISO 9233-2, 2007 (IDF 140-2, 2007).

In the present work, we examined intraperitoneal (3 and 6 mg/kg body weight [bw]; Rot-3-ip and Rot-6-ip, respectively) and oral (50 and 100 mg/kg bw; Rot-50-po and Rot-100-po, respectively) rotenone induced PD modeled Wistar rats to evaluate changes in various haematological parameters. While Rot-3-ip for 21 days and Rot-50-po for 28 days caused major Parkinson’s disease (PD)-related alterations, Lewy bodies were only detected in Rot-3-ip rats. The Rot-6-ip and Rot-100-po treatments caused
