Valproic acid is an organic compound with the formula (CHCO)COOH. It is a white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and most organic solvents. Valproic acid has been used in medicine as an anticonvulsant, mood stabilizer, and bipolar disorder medication. Valproic acid is also used to treat hyperammonemia, although this use is limited by its side effects. To produce valproate semisodium, sodium carbonate and valproic acid are combined at high temperatures to form sodium valproate and carbon dioxide gas. The molecular weight of valproic acid ranges from 100-400 Da. The low molecular weight of this drug makes it suitable for oral absorption and rapid distribution throughout the body. This assay uses a chromatographic method for detection with fluorescence detection at excitation/emission wavelengths of 280/365 nm. The results show that 6-Amino-2-propylhexano

o-Tolylbiguanide hydrochloride is a copper-containing antimicrobial agent that has been synthesised and used to treat Gram-negative bacteria. It is an anion, which means it can be reduced by agents such as formaldehyde and chloride. o-Tolylbiguanide hydrochloride binds to the anionic groups of the bacterial cell wall, which are found in proteins and lipids. This binding prevents the formation of a covalent bond between the copper ion and the bacterial cell wall, preventing further growth. The elimination of this compound in vivo is thought to be due to its organic ligands.
