Some Concepts Of Earth Science For Junior High, Patricia M. Schwirian

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The junior high school has been-and still is-the weakest link in the chain of science education. More interest in science is lost during these two or three years than any other period of a child's education. This is grossly unfortunate because children in this age group have the imagination, enthusiasm, and level of maturity which allows them to profit greatly from the excitement and challenge offered in a good science curriculum.

Separation Of Cardiac Glycosides By Thin-Layer Chromatography, B. J. White, Dennis Oeth

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Two structurally similar cardiac glycosides, digoxin and digitoxin, and their aglycones, digoxigenin and digitoxigenin, were separated by thin-layer chromatography using glass plates coated with silica gel H. Of 50 solvent systems tried, 15 were found to effect excellent separation of digoxin and digoxigenin. Separation of digoxin and digitoxin and their respective aglycones was achieved with three solvent systems. Spots were visualized with meta-dinitrobenzene sodium hydroxide sprays. The lower limit of detection was 10 micrograms of glycoside per square centimeter. This method of separation should prove significant in identifying drug metabolites and determining toxicity levels of cardiac glycosides.
