Abstract:
A colorimetric method has been developed for the quantitative determination of the rescinnamine, reserpine upto (-10(-4M)), Yohimbine on complexation with bromothymol blue. The coloured complexes exhibit absorption maxima in the region 415-416 nm. The RSD (Relative Standard Deviation) of the method is 2.02%. The method is simple, easy, rapid and convenient for routine analysis of the indolic drugs.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
