Abstract
BACKGROUND Eccentric muscle contraction can cause muscle damage, which reduces the efficiency of exercise. Previous evidence suggested that Sodium salicylate (SS) could improve the repair of aged muscle. This study intends to investigate whether SS can impact skeletal muscle damage caused by eccentric exercise. METHODS Eccentric treadmill exercise was performed to induce muscle damage in mice. Plasma levels of muscle damage markers were estimated. RT-qPCR was employed for detecting mRNA levels of proinflammatory mediators in murine gastrocnemius muscle. Immunofluorescence staining of laminin/DAPI was utilized for quantifying centrally nucleated myofibers in the gastrocnemius muscle. Western blotting was implemented to examine protein levels of mitsugumin 53 (MG53), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/9, and NF-κB signaling-related markers. RESULTS SS administration reduced muscle damage marker production in the plasma and decreased the levels of proinflammatory mediators, MG53 and MMP-2/9 in mice after exercise. SS alleviated the severity of muscle damage in the gastrocnemius of mice after eccentric exercise. SS blocked NF-κB signaling pathway in the gastrocnemius muscle. CONCLUSION SS administration ameliorates skeletal muscle damage caused by eccentric exercise in the mouse model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation-provoked disorders including cancer are arbitrated by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Celecoxib and niflumic acid are among the potent and selective inhibitors of this enzyme while aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and sodium salicylate are its non-selective and lesser potent inhibitors. Despite these proven studies, the comparative structural study of these selective and non-selective molecules at atomistic scale in complex state with COX-2 that may answer this differential inhibitory behavior has not been accomplished spotlighting the imperative need of additional research in this area. Thus, this study was framed to provide a strong explanation for the enigma of higher inhibitory activity of celecoxib-niflumic acid duo in comparison to aspirin and sodium salicylate towards COX-2. METHODS A contemporary approach including advanced molecular docking against COX2, molecular dynamics of receptor-ligand complexes, simulation-trajectory-backed MMGBSA for different time points, radius of gyration (Rg) calculations, and e-pharmacophores approach was employed to attain a rational conclusion. RESULTS Our findings demonstrated the higher binding affinity of celecoxib and niflumic acid over aspirin and sodium salicylate against COX-2. Although both selective and non-selective COX-2 inhibitors manifested nearly the same stability in the active site of this enzyme but the e-pharmocophoric features found in the case of selective inhibitors scored over non-selective ones. Thus, our findings excluded the differential stability to be the cause of stronger potency of selective inhibitors but attributed their potency to greater number of complementary features present in these inhibitors against the active site of inflammation engendering COX-2.

Abstract
Nowadays various analgesic medications are used for the management of acute and chronic pain. Among these opioid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs stand in the first line of therapy, however, prolonged administration of these substance is generally challenged by development of analgesic tolerance in patients. Therefore, it is highly valuable to find new pharmacological strategies for prolonged therapeutic procedures. In this respect, Taurine, a free amino acid, has been shown to induce significant analgesia at both spinal and peripheral levels through cholinergic mechanisms. In the present study, we used hot-plate analgesic test to investigate how taurine either as a single medication or in combination with sodium salicylate and morphine may affect both acute response to pain and development of analgesic tolerance. The effect of taurine was also tested on morphine withdrawal syndrome. Hyoscine butyl bromide was used to assess the role of muscarinic receptors in taurine-mediated effects. Finally, biochemical assay was done to reveal how the activity of brain acetylcholinesterase may change in relation with muscarinic receptor activity. Results indicated that acute administration of taurine-sodium salicylate combination causes more potent analgesia compared to the use of tau (but not SS alone) and this seems to be mediated via activity of muscarinic receptors in peripheral nervous system. Furthermore, the effect of this combination undergoes less analgesic tolerance during time. Combination of taurine and morphine is an effective strategy to attenuate both morphine analgesic tolerance and dependence and this also seems to depend on activity of muscarinic receptors, however through differential cellular mechanisms.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of curcumin (CCM) against gentamicin (GEN) and sodium salicylates (NaS)-induced ototoxic effects in rats. For 15 consecutive days, seven rat groups were given 1 mL/rat physiological saline orally, 1 mL/rat olive oil orally, 50 mg/kg bwt CCM orally, 120 mg/kg bwt GEN intraperitoneally, 300 mg/kg bwt NaS intraperitoneally, CCM+GEN, or CCM+NaS. The distortion product otoacoustic emission measurements were conducted. The rats' hearing function and balance have been behaviorally assessed using auditory startle response, Preyer reflex, and beam balance scale tests. The serum lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress biomarkers have been measured. Immunohistochemical investigations of the apoptotic marker caspase-3 and the inflammatory indicator nuclear factor kappa (NF-κB) in cochlear tissues were conducted. GEN and NaS exposure resulted in deficit hearing and impaired ability to retain balance. GEN and NaS exposure significantly decreased the reduced glutathione level and catalase activity but increased malondialdehyde content. GEN and NaS exposure evoked pathological alterations in cochlear and vestibular tissues and increased caspase-3 and NF-κB immunoexpression. CCM significantly counteracted the GEN and NaS injurious effects. These outcomes concluded that CCM could be a naturally efficient therapeutic agent against GEN and NaS-associated ototoxic side effects.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX) plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity. Therefore, long-term administration of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and its main metabolite, salicylate, as a COX inhibitor may impair synaptic plasticity and subsequently memory formation. Although different studies have tried to explain the effects of ASA and sodium salicylate (SS) on learning and memory, the results are contradictory and the mechanisms are not exactly known. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of long-term low-dose (equivalent to prophylactic dose) and short-term high-dose (equivalent to analgesic dose) administration of ASA and SS respectively, on spatial learning and memory and hippocampal synaptic plasticity. Animals were treated with a low dose of ASA (2 mg/ml solvated in drinking water, 6 weeks) or a high dose of SS, a metabolite of ASA, (300 mg/kg, 3 days, twice-daily, i.p). Spatial memory and synaptic plasticity were assessed by water maze performance and in vivo field potential recording from CA1, respectively. Animals treated with ASA but not SS showed a significant increase in escape latency and distance moved. Furthermore, in the probe test, animals treated with both drugs spent less time in the target quadrant zone. The paired-pulse ratio (PPR) at 20-ms inter-pulse intervals (IPI) as an index of short-term plasticity in both treated groups was significantly higher than of the control group. Interestingly, none of the administered drugs affected long-term potentiation (LTP). These data suggested that long-term inhibition of COX disrupted memory acquisition and retrieval. Interestingly, cognitive impairments happened along with short-term but not long-term synaptic plasticity disturbance.

Abstract
Currently, antibiotics and salicylates are the most highly consumed medications worldwide. The side effects of these pharmaceuticals on the nervous system have been little investigated. Thus, this study aimed to examine the influence of the gentamicin (GM) and sodium salicylates (SS) on neurobehavioral functions, including locomotors function, memory, and sensorimotor functions together with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter levels. Also, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and apoptotic indicators of brain tissue were assessed. Additionally, the histopathological architecture of brain tissues was investigated. This study also evaluated the curcumin (CUR) efficacy to counteract the GM or SS induced neurotoxic impacts in rats. For this purpose, seven groups were administered physiological saline (1 ml/rat; orally), olive oil (1 ml/rat; orally), CUR (50 mg/kg bwt; orally), GM (120 mg/kg bwt; intraperitoneally), SS (300 mg /kg bwt; intraperitoneally), CUR + GM, or CUR + SS for consecutive 15 days. The results revealed that GM and SS exposure evoked impaired memory, sensorimotor deficit functions, and depressive-like behavior together with the depletion of GABA. GM and SS exposure elevated malondialdehyde and Caspase-3 levels, but total antioxidant capacity and Bcl-2 levels were reduced. Besides, GM and SS exposure induced distinct pathological perturbations in cerebral cortices and hippocampus tissues. CUR significantly reversed the GM and SS harmful impacts. In conclusion, these findings verified that CUR could be a biologically efficient protective intervention against GM and SS induced neurotoxic impacts and neurobehavioral aberrations.

Abstract
In this work, sodium salicylate and ethylenediamine (EDA) are used as the precursors to synthesize green fluorescent carbon dots (CDs). The CDs have some attractive properties, including better oxidation resistance, good water solubility, and excellent stability in high ionic strength solutions in a pH range of 6.0-10.0. Compared to other metal ions, only Hg2+ can quench the fluorescence of CDs, and with the introduction of biothiols, the fluorescence of the CDs/Hg2+ system can be recovered. Therefore, a turn off/on fluorescent sensor is constructed using CDs as a fluorescent probe, and the sensor is applied to the detection of Hg2+ and biothiols (glutathione, homocysteine and cysteine). In addition, the fluorescent sensor exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity. The linear range of Hg2+ is 0.05-10 μM with the detection limit of 44 nM. Glutathione, homocysteine, and cysteine have a linear response in the range of 0.5-10 μM with the limit of detection of 80, 76, and 69 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the fluorescence method is successfully used to detect Hg2+ in actual water samples and biothiols in human plasma.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to observe the regulatory effects of GABAA (γ-aminobutyric acid A) receptor on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor during excitotoxicity in spiral ganglion neurons in the rat cochlea induced by sodium salicylate (SS). Western blot illustrated SS decreased the expression of NMDA receptor 2B subunit (NR2B) surface protein through affecting GABAA receptor, but the total protein content did not significantly change. Y1472 and S1480 are important phosphorylation sites in NR2B, SS downregulated the Fyn-dependent phosphorylation of Y1472 in a manner not related to the CK2 (Casein Kinase 2) dependent phosphorylation of S1480, thus regulating the surface distribution and internalization of NMDA receptor through GABAA receptor. These results suggest that the modified pattern of dynamic balance between excitation and inhibition by coactivation of the GABAA receptor can attenuate the excitatory NMDA receptor under the action of SS, via inhibiting the Fyn-dependent phosphorylation of Y1472.

Abstract
Due to the nature of Cerenkov radiation and instrumental limitations, detection efficiencies of 210Bi by Cerenkov counting are generally quite low (~15%). Sodium salicylate, acting as a wavelength shifter, has been used to improve the detection efficiency of Cerenkov photons. In this study, we found that the addition of sodium salicylate could significantly increase the counting efficiencies of 210Pb/210Bi in aqueous samples. Meanwhile, a sharp increase of the counting efficiency for the alphas from 210Po was also observed with the addition of high concentration of sodium salicylate, implying that scintillation light rather than Cerenkov photons from the alphas has been produced. Detailed studies about the effects of sodium salicylate on the counting of 210Pb, 210Bi and 210Po were conducted. At low concentration (< 0.5 mg g-1) of sodium salicylate, only a small increase in Cerenkov counting efficiency for 210Bi by the wavelength-shifting effect could be observed. Meanwhile, the counting efficiency for 210Bi at high concentration (> 1 mg g-1) of sodium salicylate would significantly increase due to the scintillation effect.

Abstract
The use of auditory reaction time is a reliable measure of loudness perception in both animals and humans with reaction times (RT) decreasing with increasing stimulus intensity. Since abnormal loudness perception is a common feature of hyperacusis, a potentially debilitating auditory disorder in which moderate-intensity sounds are perceived as uncomfortable or painfully loud, we used RT measures to assess rats for salicylate-induced hyperacusis. A previous study using an operant conditioning RT procedure found that high-dose sodium salicylate (SS) induced hyperacusis-like behavior, i.e., faster than normal RTs to moderate and high level sounds, when rats were tested with broadband noise stimuli. However, it was not clear from that study if salicylate induces hyperacusis-like behavior in a dose- or frequency-dependent manner. Therefore, the goals of the current study were to determine how RT-intensity functions were altered by different doses of salicylate, and, using tone bursts, to determine if salicylate induces hyperacusis-like behavior across the entire frequency spectrum or only at certain frequencies. Similar to previous physiological studies, we began to see faster than normal RTs for sounds 60 dB SPL and greater with salicylate doses of 150 mg/kg and higher; indicating the rats were experiencing hyperacusis at high salicylate doses. In addition, high-dose salicylate significantly reduced RTs across all stimulus frequencies tested which suggests that a central neural excitability mechanism may be a potential driver of salicylate-induced changes in loudness perception and hyperacusis.

Abstract
Rebound depolarization (RD) is a voltage response to the offset from pre-hyperpolarization of neuronal membrane potential, which manifests a particular form of the postsynaptic membrane potential response to inhibitory presynaptic inputs. We previously demonstrated that sodium salicylate (NaSal), a tinnitus inducer, can drastically suppress the RD in neurons of rat medial geniculate body (MGB) (Su et al, 2012; PLoS ONE 7, e46969). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the underlying cellular mechanism by using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in rat MGB slices. NaSal (1.4 mM) had no effects on the current mediated by T-type Ca(2+) channels, indicating that it does not target these channels to suppress the RD. Instead, NaSal was shown to hyperpolarize the resting membrane potential to suppress the RD. NaSal had no effects on the current mediated by hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, indicating that it does not target these channels to hyperpolarize the resting membrane potential. NaSal induced an outward leak current that could be abolished by CGP55845, a GABAB receptor blocker, or respectively by Ba(2+) and Tertiapin-Q, blockers for G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels, indicating that NaSal potentiates the GABAB-GIRK pathway to hyperpolarize the resting membrane potential. Our study demonstrates that NaSal targets GABAB receptors to alter functional behaviors of MGB neurons, which may be implicated in NaSal-induced tinnitus.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which a low level of trans-10, cis-12 (10,12) conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) decreases adiposity and increases browning in overweight mice, its dependence on inflammatory signaling and potential synergistic effects of daily exercise. Young, Sv129 male mice were fed a high-fat diet for 5 weeks to make them fat and glucose intolerant and then switch them to a low-fat diet with or without 0.1% 10,12 CLA, sodium salicylate or exercise for another 7 weeks. 10,12 CLA decreased white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue mass, and increased the messenger RNA and protein levels, and activities of enzymes associated with thermogenesis or fatty acid oxidation in WAT. Mice fed 10,12 CLA had lower body temperatures compared to controls during cold exposure, which coincided with decreased adiposity. Although sodium salicylate decreased 10,12 CLA-mediated increases in markers of inflammation in WAT, it did not affect other outcomes. Exercise had no further effect on the outcomes measured. Collectively, these data indicate that 10,12 CLA-mediated reduction of adiposity is independent of inflammatory signaling, and possibly due to up-regulation of fatty acid oxidation and heat production in order to regulate body temperature. Although this low level of 10,12 CLA reduced adiposity in overweight mice, hepatomegaly and inflammation are major health concerns.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the formation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques in the brain. Dysfunctional excitatory synaptic transmission and neuronal plasticity are generally accepted as primary events in the development of AD. There is evidence to suggest that both COX-1 expression and COX-2 expression are changed in the brain of AD patients. However, the impact of COX-dependent mechanisms on synaptic dysfunction underlying the memory deficit is not fully elucidated. In the present study effects of non-selective NSAIDs (aspirin and sodium salicylate) on associated memory impairment as well as Aβ-mediated suppression of synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus were examined. Aβ1-42 (5μg/μl) and ibotenic acid (5μg/μl) were injected bilaterally into the dorsal hippocampus of rats and the spatial memory and long term potentiation (LTP) were assessed by water maze performance and in vivo field potential recording, respectively. Field excitatory post synaptic potentials (fEPSP) were recorded from stratum radiatum of area CA1 following Schaffer collateral stimulation. Behavioral study revealed that both sub-chronic high dose of sodium salicylate (SS) and chronic low dose of aspirin improved the spatial memory impairment of Aβ treated rats, however the effects of SS were lower than those of aspirin. Animals treated with SS and aspirin showed a significant decrease in escape latency (SS: F(1, 24)=15.85, p<0.01, aspirin: F(1, 22)=25.24, p<0.001, ANOVA). Furthermore, in probe test, animals treated with aspirin (p<0.05) but not SS (p>0.05) spent more time (one-way ANOVA) in target quadrant zone. Both applied drugs restored the suppression of fEPSP slope LTP that was induced by Aβ treatment (unpaired t-test, p<0.001). Aspirin showed a preventative effect also against Aβ-induced changes in LTP and memory task when applied before Aβ administration. Since aspirin and SS improved synaptic dysfunction, we can suggest that COX-dependent mechanisms may play a role in synaptic dysfunction in an experimental model of AD.

Abstract
Sodium salicylate (SS) confers neuroprotection in various models of Parkinson's disease (PD) but the mechanisms behind its protective actions are not clear. PD pathology is multifactorial involving numerous processes such as protein aggregation, dysfunction of protein degradation machinery and apoptosis. Detailed evaluation of effects of SS on these processes can provide an insight into the mechanism of neuroprotection by SS in PD pathology. In a rotenone (2mg/kg b.w.) based rat model of PD, SS (100mg/kg b.w.) was administered in conjunction. Drug treatments continued for 5 weeks after which various analyses were conducted using mid-brain tissue. IHC analysis revealed a decline in the aggregation of α-synuclein and ubiquitin with SS supplementation. These effects might be mediated by the elevation in HSF-1, HSP-40, and HSP-27 expression following SS co-treatment. This HSP upregulation helped in the improvement in proteasome activity as well as expression. Further, IHC analysis revealed that SS co-treatment prevented the activation of astrocytes caused by rotenone. Since astrocytes are involved in maintenance of glutathione (GSH) homeostasis, it resulted in a concomitant improvement in the GSH levels. As a result, decrease in apoptosis as indicated by caspase-9 and caspase-3 expression as well as TUNEL assay was also observed in the SS conjunction group. Our results indicate that besides being a known free radical scavenger and anti-inflammatory compound, SS can provide neuroprotection by differently upregulating the HSPs and reducing the protein aggregation burden.

Abstract
Life-threatening acute lung injury potentially occurs following high-level accidental exposures to phosgene gas. This situation was mirrored in rats exposed nose-only at 900-1000 mg phosgene/m(3)min. At this exposure level, previous studies on rats demonstrated sustained reflexively induced cardiopulmonary dysfunction and evidence of vascular fluid redistribution. These findings challenge the currently applied treatment strategies to mitigate the presumed non-cardiogenic lung edema by steroidal or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This study investigates whether high doses of curatively administered dexamethasone (DX; 100 mg/kg bw, ip) and sodium salicylate (SS; 200 mg/kg bw, ip), alone or in combination, show efficacy to mitigate the phosgene-induced lung edema. Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO), animal morbidity and mortality, and increased lung weights one day postexposure served as endpoints of lung injury and drug efficacy. When applying this dosing regimen, SS showed minimal (if any) efficacy while DX, alone or in combination with SS, substantially aggravated the emerging lung edema (lung weights) with 40% mortality. The degree of acute lung injury (ALI) was mirrored by increased eNO. Its direct relationship to ALI-severity was evidenced by decreased eNO following NO-synthetase inhibitor administration (aminoguanidine-aerosol) and associated mitigation of ALI. All non-treated phosgene-exposed as well as treated but non-phosgene-exposed rats survived. This experimental evidence suggests that high-dose corticoid treatments may aggravate the pulmonary toxicity of phosgene. Similarly, this outcome supports the supposition that non-inflammatory, cardiogenic and/or neurogenic factors play a role in this type of acute lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human magneto/electrophysiology studies suggest that the phantom sound of tinnitus arises from spontaneous oscillatory neural activity in auditory cortex; however, in animal models, behavioral techniques suitable for testing this hypothesis in combination with electrophysiology recordings have yet to be evaluated. While electrophysiological studies of tinnitus have been reported in passive, awake animals, these studies fail to control for attentional mechanisms likely to play a role in the perception of tinnitus. NEW METHOD A novel appetitive operant conditioning, two-alternative identification task was developed for detecting acute tinnitus in rats. The procedure optimizes conditions for simultaneously recording oscillatory neural activity while controlling for the attentional state of the animal. RESULTS Tinnitus was detected in six of seven rats following systemic injection with sodium salicylate (200mg/kg IP), a known inducer of tinnitus. Analysis of ongoing local field potentials recorded from chronically implanted electrodes in auditory cortex of a rat reporting tinnitus revealed changes in the spectrum of ongoing neural activity. Comparison with existing method(s): Existing tinnitus-detection methods were not explicitly designed for the simultaneous recording of neural activity. The behavioral method reported here is the first to provide the conditions necessary for obtaining these recordings in chronically implanted rats. CONCLUSIONS The behavioral assay presented here will facilitate research into the neural mechanisms of tinnitus by allowing researchers to compare the electrophysiological data in animals with confirmed tinnitus.

Abstract
Salicylate, the active ingredient of aspirin can cause sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus when plasma concentrations reach a critical level. The ototoxic mechanisms of salicylate remain unclear but hearing and tinnitus usually recovers a few days after intoxication. There have been few reports of salicylate-induced ototoxicity in Korea, and the majority is caused by a low dose of aspirin. Herein, we report a case of sudden hearing loss and tinnitus after acute salicylate intoxication and review recent updates on salicylate ototoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cyclooxygenases (COXs) are known to play some roles in physiological mechanisms related to learning and memory. Since sodium salicylate is an inhibitor of COX, we have evaluated the effect of peripheral and intra-hippocampal administration of sodium salicylate on spatial learning and memory in male rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male rats were studied in two groups; the first group received different intraperitoneal (i.p.) sodium salicylate doses (0, 200, 300, and 400 mg/kg) and the second group received intra-hippocampal doses of the drug (0, 30, 50, and 100 μg/0.5 μl/side). The spatial performance of rats was tested using Morris water maze (MWM) task. The spatial learning and memory parameters were analyzed using ANOVA. RESULTS Peripheral and intra-hippocampal administration of sodium salicylate did not lead to a statistically significant change in the mean time (escape latency), and also the distance traveled for finding the hidden platform during the training days, compared with the control group. But at the probe trial, the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant by rats which received the highest doses of drug significantly increased. CONCLUSION We found that both peripheral and intra-hippocampal administration of sodium salicylate facilitates the process of spatial memory consolidation in the MWM.

Abstract
Polypyrrole films were deposited by anodic electropolymerization on stainless steel substrates from aqueous pyrrole solutions containing sodium salicylate and tiron additives. The deposition yield was studied under galvanostatic conditions. The amount of the deposited material was varied by the variation of deposition time at a constant current density. SEM studies showed the formation of porous films with thicknesses in the range of 0-3 μm. Cyclic voltammetry data for the films tested in 0.5 M Na2SO4 solutions showed capacitive behavior and high specific capacitance (SC) in a voltage window of 0.9 V. The films prepared from pyrrole solutions containing tiron showed better capacitive behavior compared to the films prepared from the solutions containing sodium salicylate. A highest SC of 254 F g-1 was observed for the sample with a specific mass of 89 μg cm-2 at a scan rate of 2 mV s-1. The SC decreased with an increasing film thickness and scan rate. The results indicated that the polypyrrole films deposited on the stainless steel substrates by anodic electropolymerization can be used as electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors (ES).

Abstract
In titrimetric analysis costlier organic solvents are more often employed to solubilize the poorly water-soluble drugs. Volatility and pollution are drawbacks of such solvents. Various techniques are employed to enhance the aqueous solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Hydrotropic solubilization phenomenon has been widely used to enhance the aqueous solubility of large number of poorly water-soluble drugs. Aqueous solubility of aceclofenac bulk drug [a poorly water-soluble NSAID] was enhanced to a great extent i.e., 400 folds with 2.5 M sodium salicylate. The primary objective of the present investigation was to employ this hydrotropic solution to extract the drug from its dosage forms, precluding the use of costlier organic solvents. The proposed method of analysis is new, simple, accurate, environmentally friendly and reproducible. Statistical data proved the accuracy, reproducibility and the precision of the proposed method. The results of titrimetric analysis by use of hydrotropy compared very well with the results of Pharmacopoeial method.
