Abstract

Sickle cell disease results in a significant morbidity and mortality related to intra-vascular thrombosis. This study is an attempt to improve our understanding the role of hypercoagulability in the pathogenesis of sickle cell disease. A case group of 20 asymptomatic sickle cell adult patients in a steady-state were compared with a control group of 20 normal adult people , both groups aged (18-50) year and from both sex, to evaluate the process of hemostasis. An investigation has been done for both groups including estimation of hemoglobin, platelets count, bleeding time and clotting time. There is a highly significant increase in the number of platelets with (P<0.01) together with a highly significant decrease in bleeding time with (P<0.01) for a case group in comparison with a control group. There is no significant difference of clotting time between both groups. That may suggest that the platelets aggregation formation activity is significantly increase in patients with sickle cell disease in a steady-state.

Abstract

A simple, accurate, affordable, and rapid spectrophotometric approach has been established for the quantification of the medicinal compound of Isopropamide iodide (ISO) in pharmaceutical preparations. An ion-pair complex which absorbs at 404nm has formed the reaction of the drug and the coloring reagent of Thymol blue (TB) at an acidic medium of pH=4. The calibration curve showed excellent linearity over a quantification range of (1-40 ?g/ml) with an excellent coefficient of correlation (= 0.9993). The examined limit of detection (LOD) was (0.3 ?g/ml) for repeatability of (n= 3). The approach witness no interference of the commonly used excipients in such pharmaceutical formulation that contains Isopropamide iodide. Validation of the method was accomplished by calculating the relative standard deviation (RSD %) and found to be in the range of (1.1938-0.5954). While recovery percentage for (n=3) was (97.4 – 101.4%). The analytical parameters of the method were optimized and were efficaciously applied to the Isopropamide iodide determination in pure form and in the mixture of a tablet form. The approach can be functional for determining other active pharmaceuticals.
