This study was aimed to assess the effect of time and temperature on the extraction of antioxidant compounds from jabuticaba seeds (Myrciaria cauliflora cv. Sabará), to optimize the solvent proportion (water, ethyl alcohol, and propanone), and to characterize the extract according to the chemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Proximal composition, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities were analyzed. The optimized solvent ratio of 60% water and 40% propanone provided a mean TPC of 8.65 g GAE/100 g seeds and the antioxidant activity toward 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was 82.79% ± 0.50%. Time and temperature parameters did not influence the yield of TPC. The gross seed extract was partially purified and both exhibited a high antioxidant activity and antimicrobial potential toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The purified jabuticaba seed lyophilized extract contained a higher (P < 0.05) TPC, o-diphenols, flavonols, and antioxidant activity measured by the DPPH assay and total reducing capacity as compared to the gross lyophilized extract. Electrospray ionization coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) data showed the presence of ellagitannins and ellagic acid in the extracts, which are probably the responsible for the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
No presente trabalho foi investigado o desenvolvimento de um método espectrofotométrico limpo para a determinação de formaldeído em amostras comerciais. A substituição de reagentes altamente perigosos foi explorada, de modo a atender aos princípios estabelecidos pela química verde. O método proposto baseou-se na reação entre formaldeído e ácido cromotrópico na presença de sulfato de magnésio, produzindo um complexo estável Mg 2+ /ciclotetracromotropileno (λ max = 535 nm). Não há relatos na literatura sobre a utilização da reação supramencionada na determinação de formaldeído. As condições experimentais foram otimizadas, aplicando-se a metodologia de superfície de resposta. A lei de Lambert-Beer é obedecida na faixa de concentração de 3 a 11 mg L -1 de formaldeído, com coeficiente de correlação de 0,999. O método proposto para a determinação de formaldeído foi aplicado em amostras comerciais de desinfetantes e defrizantes capilares. Os resultados compararam-se favoravelmente aos obtidos pelo método oficial, demonstrando exatidão e precisão satisfatórias.A green spectrophotometric analytical method for determination of formaldehyde in commercial samples was designed and investigated. Replacement of hazardous reagents was explored to attain the clean chemistry standards. The method is based on formaldehyde reaction with chromotropic acid in the presence of magnesium sulphate producing a stable complex Mg 2+ / cyclotetrachromotropylene (λ max = 535 nm). To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the use of the above mentioned reaction for this determination. The experimental conditions were optimized by the response surface methodologies. Beer's Law is obeyed in a concentration range of 3 to 11 mg L -1 of formaldehyde with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The proposed method was applied for the determination of formaldehyde in commercial disinfectants and deffrizing hair products. The results were favorably compared with those of the official method, with good accuracy and precision.
Recebido em 25/5/07; aceito em 11/10/07; publicado na web em 2/4/08 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SILDENAFIL CITRATE IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS. This paper describes a simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for quantitative determination of sildenafil citrate based on its reaction with p-chloranil accelerated by hydrogen peroxide, producing a stable purple compound (λ max = 535 nm). In the absence of peroxide this reaction is very slow. The experimental conditions were optimized by using response surface methodologies. Beer's law is obeyed in a concentration range of 8.52 x 10 -5 -1.70 x 10 -3 mol L -1 (r = 0.999). The detection limit was 1.96 x 10 -5 mol L -1. The method was successfully applied for the determination of sildenafil citrate in medicines with good accuracy and precision.
Este artigo descreve um método simples, portátil e ambientalmente amigável para a rápida determinação de dipirona em medicamentos empregando a espectroscopia de reflectância difusa. O método proposto está baseado nas medidas de reflectância do composto alaranjado produzido na reação de spot-test entre dipirona e p-dimetilaminocinamaldeído (p-DAC), em meio ácido, usando papel de filtro como suporte sólido. Metodologias de planejamento de experimentos foram utilizadas para a otimização das condições experimentais. Todas as medidas de reflectância foram efetuadas em 510 nm e o intervalo linear foi de 1,42 × 10 -4 -2,85 × 10 -3 mol L -1 , com coeficiente de correlação de 0,999. Os limites de detecção (LOD) e de quantificação (LOQ) foram de 1,20 × 10 -5 mol L -1 e 4,00 × 10 -5 mol L -1 , respectivamente. A precisão intradia e interdia foi avaliada na análise de uma solução de dipirona 7,90 × 10 -4 mol L -1 (n = 10). Os coeficientes de variação foram 1,1 e 0,9%, respectivamente. O método proposto foi aplicado com êxito na determinação de dipirona em amostras comerciais de medicamentos. Não foram observadas interferências dos excipientes comuns em formulações farmacêuticas. Os resultados obtidos pelo método proposto estão em boa concordância com aqueles obtidos pelo procedimento da Farmacopéia Brasileira num nível de confiança de 95%. This paper describes a simple, portable and environmentally friendly method for the rapid determination of dipyrone in pharmaceuticals by using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The proposed method is based on the reflectance measurements of the orange compound produced from the spot test reaction between dipyrone and p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (p-DAC), in acid medium, using a filter paper as solid support. Experimental design methodologies were used to optimize the measurement conditions. All reflectance measurements were carried out at 510 nm and the linear range was from 1.42 × 10 -4 -2.85 × 10 -3 mol L -1 , with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were 1.20 × 10 -5 mol L -1 and 4.00 × 10 -5 mol L -1 , respectively. The intraday precision and interday precision were studied for 10 replicate analyses of 7.90 × 10 -4 mol L -1 dipyrone solution. The coefficients of variation were 1.1 and 0.9%, respectively. The proposed method was applied successfully to the determination of dipyrone in commercial brands of pharmaceuticals. No interferences were observed from the common excipients in formulations. The results obtained by the proposed method were favorably compared with those given by the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia procedure at 95% confidence level.
A simple, rapid, and sensitive spectrophotometric method for routine analysis of saccharin in commercial noncaloric sweeteners is proposed. This method is based on the reaction of saccharin with tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone (p-chloranil) accelerated by hydrogen peroxide and conducted in an ethanol:acetone (4:1) medium, producing a violet-red compound (lambda(max) = 550 nm). Beer's law is obeyed in a concentration range of 2.05 x 10(-4) to 3.00 x 10(-3) M with an excellent correlation coefficient (r = 0.9998). The detection limit was 1.55 x 10(-5) M, and the effect of interferences on the spectrophotometric measurements was evaluated. The proposed procedure was applied successfully to the determination of saccharin in noncaloric sweeteners. Recoveries were within 99.2-104.3% with standard deviations ranging from to 0.5-1.6%. Results of the proposed method compare very favorably with those given by the high-performance liquid chromatography method recommended by the Food and Drug Administration.
