O cell structure grown on (001) sapphire by the pulsed laser deposition
technique show that the Cu multivalent (Cu
M+
) ions modulate
magnetic and resistive states of the cells. The magnetic moment is
found to be reduced by ∼30% during the high resistance state
(HRS) to low resistance state (LRS) switching. X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy results reveals an increase of the Cu

/Cu
2+
oxidation state ratio (which has been determined by the
relative positions of the Fermi level and the Cu acceptor level) during
the HRS to LRS transition. This decreases the effective spin-polarized

and thus the magnetic moment. A conduction mechanism involving the
formation of conductive filaments from the coupling of the Cu

ABSTRACT. An accurate, simple and specific reverse phase LC procedure is established and validated for simultaneous estimation of methoxsalen and p-aminobenzoic acid in pharmaceutical formulated products and human serum. Chromatographic separation among methoxsalen, p-aminobenzoic acid and their degradation products have been achieved in less than 5 min with Hypersil-ODS column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 µm), using acetonitrile and 1.28 mM phosphate buffer as mobile phase (60:40 v/v). Flow rate of the mobile phase was set as 1.5 mL min -1 and detection of all the analytes was carried out by diode-array detector at 254 nm. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines by performing its linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, robustness and LOD/LOQ values. Response was linear and proportional to the concentrations (24-48 µg mL -1 ) for p-aminobenzoic acid and (9-18 µg mL -1 ) for methoxsalen. The LOD was 2.3 ng mL -1 for p-aminobenzoic acid and 6 ng mL -1 for methoxsalen whereas LOQ was 7.8 ng mL -1 for p-aminobenzoic acid and 20.4 ng mL -1 for methoxsalen. The developed method efficiently separated the principal peaks from degradation products and therefore can be applied successfully for concurrent analysis of methoxsalen and p-aminobenzoic acid in pharmaceutical dosage form, human serum and product stability studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
