Ltd., Hall-A, Chinar Mega Mall, Chinar Fortune City, Hoshangabad Rd., Bhopal- 462026, Madhya Pradesh, India Abstract Objective: Chloramphenicol and tetracycline are broad-spectrum antibiotics and widely used against variety of microbial infections. Nowadays, several microbes have acquired resistance to chloramphenicol and tetracycline. The present study was aimed to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment for spectroscopic characterization of chloramphenicol and tetracycline using FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Methods: The study was performed in two groups (control and treatment) of each antibiotic. The control groups remained as untreated, and biofield treatment was given to treatment groups. Results: FT-IR spectrum of treated chloramphenicol exhibited the decrease in wavenumber of NO2 from 1521 cm-1 to 1512 cm-1 and increase in wavenumber of C=O from 1681 cm-1 to 1694 cm-1 in acylamino group. It may be due to increase of conjugation effect in NO2 group, and increased force constant of C=O bond. As a result, stability of both NO2 and C=O groups might be increased in treated sample as compared to control.

  • Antibiotic Assay Medium No. 3 (Assay Broth) Is Used for Microbiological Assay of Antibiotics. M042
    HiMedia Laboratories Technical Data Antibiotic Assay Medium No. 3 (Assay Broth) is used for M042 microbiological assay of antibiotics. Antibiotic Assay Medium No. 3 (Assay Broth) is used for microbiological assay of antibiotics. Composition** Ingredients Gms / Litre Peptic digest of animal tissue (Peptone) 5.000 Beef extract 1.500 Yeast extract 1.500 Dextrose 1.000 Sodium chloride 3.500 Dipotassium phosphate 3.680 Potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1.320 Final pH ( at 25°C) 7.0±0.2 **Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters Directions Suspend 17.5 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Advice:Recommended for the Microbiological assay of Amikacin, Bacitracin, Capreomycin, Chlortetracycline,Chloramphenicol,Cycloserine,Demeclocycline,Dihydrostreptomycin, Doxycycline, Gentamicin, Gramicidin, Kanamycin, Methacycline, Neomycin, Novobiocin, Oxytetracycline, Rolitetracycline, Streptomycin, Tetracycline, Tobramycin, Trolendomycin and Tylosin according to official methods . Principle And Interpretation Antibiotic Assay Medium is used in the performance of antibiotic assays. Grove and Randall have elucidated those antibiotic assays and media in their comprehensive treatise on antibiotic assays (1). Antibiotic Assay Medium No. 3 (Assay Broth) is used in the microbiological assay of different antibiotics in pharmaceutical and food products by the turbidimetric method. Ripperre et al reported that turbidimetric methods for determining the potency of antibiotics are inherently more accurate and more precise than agar diffusion procedures (2). Turbidimetric antibiotic assay is based on the change or inhibition of growth of a test microorganims in a liquid medium containing a uniform concentration of an antibiotic. After incubation of the test organism in the working dilutions of the antibiotics, the amount of growth is determined by measuring the light transmittance using spectrophotometer.

  • Comparison of Thimerosal Effectiveness in the Formulation of Eye Drops Containing Neomycin Sulfate and Chloramphenicol
    International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics ISSN- 0975-7058 Vol 11, Issue 1, 2019 Original Article COMPARISON OF THIMEROSAL EFFECTIVENESS IN THE FORMULATION OF EYE DROPS CONTAINING NEOMYCIN SULFATE AND CHLORAMPHENICOL MARLINE ABDASSAH1, SRI AGUNG FITRI KUSUMA2* 1Departement of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmacy, Padjadjaran University, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia 45363, 2Department of Biology Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Padjadjaran University, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia 45363 Email: [email protected] Received: 27 Sep 2018, Revised and Accepted: 19 Nov 2018 ABSTRACT Objective: This study was aimed to compare the preservative efficacy of thimerosal in eye drops formulation containing neomycin sulfate and chloramphenicol as the active agents. Methods: Determination of thimerosal concentration in combinations with chloramphenicol and neomycin sulfate was carried out using the agar diffusion method. Then the thimerosal ineffective and minimal concentration was formulated into eye drops, each with 0.5% neomycin sulfate and 0.5% chloramphenicol as the active ingredient. Evaluation of eye drops was carried out for 28 d, which included: visual observation, pH measurement, sterility, and effectiveness test. Results: Thimerosal at a minimum concentration of 0.001% remain to provide antibacterial activity against common eyes contaminants. Both eyes drops containing neomycin sulfate, and chloramphenicol resulted in clear solution, sterile, and stable in the pH and antibacterial potency,showed the efficacy of thimerosal’s role in eye drops at the lowest concentration. But, the thimerosal stability as a preservative agent was affected by the pH values of the eye drops solution. Therefore, the effectivity of thimerosal in chloramphenicol (pH 7.19-7.22) was better than neomycin sulfate (6.45- 6.60).
