A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of sulbutamol in pure form and in different pharmaceutical preparations has been developed. The charge transfer (CT) reaction between salbutamol as electron donor and 2,6-dichloroquinone chlorimide (DCQ) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ)

S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet)-dependent O-methyltransferases (OMTs) catalyze the transmethylation of a variety of phenolics in bacteria, plants, and humans. To rapidly characterize phenolic OMT activities, we adapted Gibbs' reagent, the dye originally used for detecting phenols, to develop a convenient assay method
