The authors have developed a sensitive spectrophotometric method for determination of sulfonamide derivatives such as sulfanilamide (SAA), sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfacetamide (SCT) sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfadimethoxine (SDX), sulfamethiazole (SMT) and Sulfathiazole (STZ). This method is based on the Bratton-Marshall reaction, which involves the diazotization of sulfonamides with sodium nitrite under acidic conditions, followed by coupling with N-(1-naphtyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NED) to form a pink colored compound. Therefore, the Bratton-Marshall method was modified by optimizing the reaction conditions, which allows us to determine a low concentration range of sulfonamides compared to the reported methods. The limits of detection and quantification obtained were 0.019–0.05 and 0.06–0.16?μg?mL??1, respectively. In comparison with other reported methods using different coupling agents, the proposed method was found to be the most simple and sensitive for sulfonamides determination. In this paper, the modified method was successfully employed for the determination of sulfonamides in drinking water, seawater and pharmaceutical and veterinary formulations. The purpose of this work is to optimize and develop a simple method for extraction and concentration of sulfonamides present as residues in seawater and their quantification with the recommended spectrophotometric method. Solid phase extraction (SPE) of sulfonamides from seawater samples was evaluated using Oasis HLB cartridges (3?mL, 540?mg). The recovery efficiency was investigated in the sulfonamides concentration range comprised between 0.19 and 126?ng?mL??1. The ease of use of this extraction method makes it very useful for routine laboratory work.

The synthesis of a new xanthine nitric oxide donor (TSP-81) is discussed. The designed compound included two structural moieties, i.e., theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) and acetaminophen (4-hydroxyacetanilide), linked by the nitric oxide donor alkyl chain as a spacer. The compound was characterized by microanalysis (CHN), 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal behaviour showed that TSP-81 melts with decomposition in four steps, the most important ones being the 2nd one (the registered weight loss being 17.6 %) and the 3 rd one (with a registered weight loss of 30.4 %). The toxicity degree, the anti-inflammatory effect and the ability of releasing nitric oxide of TSP-81 was also evaluated. The biological assays established that TSP-81 exhibits enhanced biological properties, such as lower toxicity and higher anti-inflammatory effect, compared to theophylline and acetaminophen, the drugs used as the parent molecules. Thus, TSP-81 is approximately 2 times more active than theophylline and 4 times more active than acetaminophen in reducing cotton pellet granuloma formation. Furthermore, the release of nitric oxide (NO) appears to play an important role in enhancing the anti-inflammatory effect.
