Development and validation of a HPLC electrochemical detection method to measure COMT activity as a tool in drug development
(Avoxa, 2019)The determination of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) activity is considered valuable for various pharmaceutical and biomedical research projects. A specific high performance liquid chromatography-coulometric electrochemical ... -
Development and validation of a LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of lumefantrine in mouse whole blood and plasma
(Elsevier, 2015)A liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantitation of the antimalarial drug, lumefantrine (LF), in mouse whole blood and plasma. The analyte was extracted ... -
Development and validation of a single analytical method for the determination of tryptophan, and its kynurenine metabolites in rat plasma
(Elsevier, 2012)It is highly beneficial to monitor the activity of the kynurenine pathway in a large series of samples with high accuracy and reliability in a single experimental protocol. We have developed a rapid specific solid-phase ... -

(Elsevier, 2020)The purpose of this reported study was to develop and validate an LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of goserelin in a Pheroid (R) formulation simulated intestinal fluid. Biopharmaceuticals are formulated in drug ... -
The development and validation of the HIV/AIDS Stigma Instrument - Nurse (HASI-N)
(Routledge, 2009)Illness-related stigma remains a serious problem in the management of HIV disease in Africa. This article describes a series of study phases conducted to develop and validate an instrument to measure HIV/AIDS-related stigma ... -
Development and validation of the simultaneous determination of artemisone, clofazimine and decoquinate with HPLC
(Avoxa, 2018)The aim of this study was to develop and validate a novel HPLC method for the simultaneous analysis of artemisone, clofazimine and decoquinate. Detection was obtained at two wavelengths; 284 nm (clofazimine) and 210 nm ... -
Development of a batch process to produce ethylated fatty acid esters
(Elsevier, 2019)Pharmaceutical excipients account for the majority of the volume of administered drugs [1]. The problem with the manufacture of pharmaceutical excipients is that they were considered to be inert support material with ... -
The development of a culturally-appropriate marriage enrichment programme for black african married couples: overview of programmes
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2020)Development of knowledge on how to support marriages cross-culturally is necessary to inform appropriate solutions, especially for South Africa, where practical marital challenges amongst Black African married couples who ... -
Development of a self-emulsifying drug delivery system for optimized topical delivery of clofazimine
(MDPI, 2020)A quality-by-design and characterization approach was followed to ensure development of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDSs) destined for topical delivery of the highly lipophilic clofazimine. Solubility and ... -
The development of a single health-endorsement logo for South Africa
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)Objective To develop health-endorsement logos (HEL) for food products indicating healthy choices based on the South African nutrient profile model and to pilot test these logos with consumers. Design Multistage mixed-methods ... -
Development of a single vial kit solution for radiolabeling of 68Ga-DKFZ-PSMA-11 and its performance in prostate cancer patients
(MDPI, 2015)Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a type II glycoprotein, is highly expressed in almost all prostate cancers. By playing such a universal role in the disease, PSMA provides a target for diagnostic imaging of ... -
The development of a value based pricing index for new drugs in metastatic colorectal cancer
(Elsevier, 2011)Background Worldwide, prices for cancer drugs have been under downward pressure where several governments have mandated price cuts of branded products. A better alternative to government mandated price cuts would be to ... -
